How Some Girls Make Money.

"A Pennsylvania girl writes me
that she gathered and washed feath-
ers and down for a whole year. says
Anna Steese Richardson in Woman S
Home Companion for February.
tThe next summer she made it up
into pillows, using attractive ticking
and chintz, and sold them to guests
at mountain resort eight miles
away. She offered the pillows at a
trife less than asked in city shops,
but the appeal to the city folks lay
in the fact that they were real feather
pillows from the country.
"a girl who lived in New Jersey,
within committing distance of New
York, started hotbed raising fresh
lettuce and radishes. These she
boldly carried to New York in a suit
case and sold to oher people work
ing in the Office where she was en-
ployed. To-day that girl has a good
sized truck-farm, employs several
hands and does not have to work in
city Office.
Away out in Nebraska a farmers
daughter tried to do the same thing,
believing that she could induce the
green groceries in the nearest town to
handle her fresh lettuce and radish-
es rather than those shipped in by
commission merchants. The dealers
were afraid to give her any encour-
agement. Her supply might not be
up to the standard. She might not
raise enough to supply them and
then they would not know how
much to expect from her and how
much from the commission mer-
chants!
"The girl made house-to-house
canvass among housewives and Of
fered them freshly picked vegetables
at the same price they had been pay
ing for the hothouse supply shipped
in. She was just brave enough not
to cut under the prices of the local
grocers. Her list of customers grew.
She came to town three times a
week. The green grocers discovered
that she was cutting into their trade
They capitulated. To-day she sup
plies them all, sends hothouse pro-
ducts to town three times a week
in winter, and garden truck every
day in summer.
Another girl visiting a meat
| packing plant was told by the guide
of the poor quality of aprons fur
| nished the butchers. She boldly
offered to provide aprons of better
material and appealed to the pur'
chasing agent and got her chance.

formed of the proposed suit against
him and his son for the possession
of his grandchildren was not sur
prised. He did not seem to be dis
turbed about it. The two little girls,
Douschka and Sarah Stark, were
playing about him when the report
ers visited him. He talked freely
about the case, taking care to send
the two children out of the room to
play.
Concerning the cause and circum-
stances of the affair he said tonight:
My son and his wife have been
twice separated and are now living
apart. She is in South Carolina. They
disagreed last February but later
were reconciled and at my suggestion
went West intending to remain. A
few weeks ago they again disagreed.
Mrs. Tillman left their apartments
here in Washington and after wait
ing for three days he took these little
girls to my wife who was then in
Washington. They went with her to
our home in South Carolina.
Finding that his wife showed no
inclination to return to him, my son
decided the children to me. Under
the law of South Carolina this may
be done by a father for the good of
his children, or by the wife in case
the father is not living. That is why
they are now with me.
They are two of the brightest
little girls 1 have ever seen, and my
sole interest in the matter is to have
them properly cared for and guard
ed. Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Jr., has been
told by eminent counsel that she can
not recover the children.
Senator and Mrs. Tillman, his two
daughters, and the two grandchildren
live in an apartment in the Balfour.
When the young couple had their
separation for the second time last
December, Mrs. Tillman, wife of the
senator, was at the Normandie.
Young B. R. Tillman took the chill
dren there and they were taken to
Trenton, being brought here again
since.
