Taylor bases his opinion as to Miss
Adams first citizenship-though she
doesn't vote, of course-upon the rec
ognition granted to her work in har-
monizing the races and ameliorating
the tenement conditions. He says
Miss Adams certainly is the best
known Chicagoan and adds: Almost
from the day she was graduated from
Rockford college, for nearly twenty
five years, she has devoted all she was
and could become to this wide range
of human service. With the simplicity
of sustained sincerity, regardless alike
of pecuniary emolument and the ex-
penditure of her always overcrowded
time and often fraiI strength, she has
responded to the demands Of almost
every good cause for her winsome
presence, persuasive speech and the
contribution of her pen to the best so
cial literature of our day."

Among occupations for women, what
do you think Of stage driving7 In
northern Illinois Mrs. Mary Caldwell
is becoming rich through investments
Of her earnings as the driver of a
stage for the past twelve years. She
drives from the railroad station at
Crystal Lake to the lake of the same
name, carrying summer visitors, tour
lists and other pleasure seekers Mrs. |
Caldwell is said to be a fine converse,
tionalist, entertaining her passengers
so well that they ride with her every i
time they have a chance. She has in
vested her savings in summer cottages
land and boating properties. She says
she sees no earthly reason why wo- |
man shouldn't drive stage if she |
likes the job.

Marie Sinclair of Boston is said to
have the million, and she has just pub /
Iished q volume of verse called Ran
dom Shots" She does not claim that
all of them hit the mark in either
rhyme or meter. Specimens quoted
by the considerate press fail to indi
cate that Miss Sinclair is a feminine
Swinburne. though many Of her
verses deal with love topics 1t is
quite possible that If Miss Sinclair
were not a millionaire she wouldn't
have published this book Of verse
However. it shows signs of a talent
that may be cultivated if the young
woman doesn't conclude that poetry
is not paying industry Miss Sin
clair already has won high honors in
athletics She is the only woman
member of the Boston Yacht club
She is a rifle expert, shooting no ran
dom shots when she stands before
her target.
