= HAVE a very interesting letter from
/ IN ambitious young woman who
4 writes:
There seems to always be hope for a
man to raise himself above the sur
roundings he was born in, but what
chance has a working girl to do so?
Must she always stay where she finds
herself? A poor girl can do so very lit
tie toward lettering herself, especially
when she is burdened by having to help
her family. even if she is fairly intelli-
gent and tries her best TO educate her
self and be refined. She has little OPP
portunity of going out with nice people
and learning the manners of good soci-
ETY.. and no matter how pretty and good
she may be. she is forced to remain in
that station of life to which it has
pleased heaven to call her.
What is q girl to do, then, if she
happens to be born in surroundings
that are commonplace and drab. and
wants somehow, some way to get away
from them?
Il am young girl who is one Of
these common ones. Have you no hope
to hold out 10 me and my kind"
The Hindrance of Sex.
Undoubtedly 1t is much easier for an
ambitious young man to get on in the
world than it is for an ambitious young
woman, and especially is this true Of
the socially ambitious Petticoats are
not as we'll constructed for climbing
the ladder of success as trousers are.
ard no matter what a woman wants to
do. the mere fact of her sex binders her
a. every step
ANY young man who is good look
ing. fairly Intelligent; and who possess
suit. and little knowledge of how to
dance can, with a little effort, get into
almost any social set to which he as
pires. Men are always at premium in
drawing rooms. and hostess, only too
anxious for black coats TO relieve the
AdarnIess Eden aspects of her parties,
does not look the gift beau too closely
in the mouth.
Nor is it hard for a man to marry
above his station if he has aspiration in
that direction. AS the worldly wise
adviser tells the impecunious youth in
the Fortune Hunter" the country is
simply full of nice, we'll educated, refin-
ed girls who have got money and social
position to burn, but who are just wait
ing for some good looking young fellow
to come along and save them from be-
ing old maids These girls may literal
" be had for the asking, and with their
check books in their hands, too.
An Overplus of Women.
Far otherwise is it with the girl who
knocks at the door of fashionable So
ciety. The very people who welcome
her brother with open arms give hel
the cold shoulder. All of US know mer
who move in social circles to which
their sisters may never hope to pene-
trate This is not because the sisters
are not as intelligent, as refined, a
charming as their brothers. but because
there is always an overplus of womer
in society anyway and new feminine
recruits are not desired
Then, too, a man can get away from
his people and the corned beef and cab
bage atmosphere in which he was borI
if he is poor, whereas woman is like

is announced by nothing more than the
solitary tones of the court crier; in
stead Of an inaugural address outlin-
ing his policies. the only utterance Of
a new chief justice is the solemn words
of his oath Of office.
No Radical Innovations.
The dignity sting in the customs
founded on the swearing into office Of
John Jay. John Rutledge, Oliver ELS
worth and John Marshall, and perfected
in the days of Roger B. fancy, Salmon
P. Chase. Morrison R. Waite and Mel
vile W. Fuller was not materially dis
turbed today by radical innovations
The ceremonies of elevating an asSo-
ciate justice of the court into the chief
justiceship of the nation began in the
secret confines of the courts robing
room 1t is here that the oath of ale
glance is administered, just before the
court takes it's place on the bench The
oath prepared for today's occasion, fol-
lowed the form prescribed by law 1t
read:
II, Edward Douglas White, do sol
EMMY swear that 1 will support and
defend the constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic: that 1 will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that L take
this obligation freely, without any men
tai reserva ton or purpose OF evasion.
and that ] will well and faithfully dis
charge the duties of the office on which
I am about to enter. So help me God
1t was q similar oath of allegiance
that created such a tempest in the
court back in reconstruction days.
Hence unusual interest was conferred
in its administration today TO the first
chief justice who had borne arms in
the cause Of the COnrederacy by the
seniOrOassOciate justice OF the court,
justice Harlan who had borne arms at
the same time in the cause OF the ma
ton
Speculation On Event.
Doubt had existed before the ceremo-
MES as to whether the new chief jus
tice would halt at the clerks desk IN
the court room to ta&e the oath there,
as most of the men who have occupied
positions on the bench have done, or
whether he would assume his usual
place on the bench and take the oath
there as chief justice Chase did. There
was doubt also as to whether he would
hold in his hand the historic Bible that
practically all the chief justices and
associate justices have used in this
ceremony. or whether he would follow
the custom of chief justice Chase in
taking the oath on Bible provided
for the occasion
The oath which the new chief justice
subscribed to in the open court is
known as the judicial oath as distin-
guished from the oath of allegiance 1t
read:
Il Edward Douglas White, do sol
EMMY swear that 1 will administer JUS
tice without respect to persons, and do
equal right to the poor and TO the rich,
and that / will faithfully and impair
TALLY discharge and perform all the
duties incumbent on me as chief JUS
tice of the United States according to
the best Of my abilities and under
standing. agreeably 20 the constitution
and laws of the United States So help
me God.

Prevents Wear Of Time
Some of the giant railroad bridges of
the country require hundreds and thou
sands of gallons of paint to protect
them from rust and other troubles COM
ing from exposure to the atmosphere.
The reason all railroad bridges former
~ were painted red was because for a
long time 1t was believed that red paint
was better for structural steel than any
other kind. Then someone thought to
make exhaustive experiments and 1t
was demonstrated that red was no bet
ter than some other cOlors. 1t is said
that when the authorities found that
the salt air of New York harbor was
eating away the bronze of the great
Goddess of Liberty. they decided to
give the majestic lady a dress that
would protect her. and they spent $685.
600 for the drapery of paint with which
she was clothed.
The suffra gettes of the country have
abundant reason for complaining about
the decision of 4 Chicago Judge in the
case of a woman sign painter. A few
years ago the people going to work one
morning were astonished to see We
man gOwned in immaculate white sit
ting in a trapeze some 200 feet above
the sidewalk, painting a huge sign. Her
hair was flowing loosely over her
shoulders. and soon there was a perfect
mob gazing up at her and marveling at
her temerity, no less than wondering at
her invasion of this peculiarly mascu-
line field of endeavor- The police did
not attempt to dispense the mob, but
arrested her and had her fined. But
she had succeeded in advertising her
wares, for which she received a sum
that made the notoriety worth while.
The production of mineral and earth
paints in America in 1900 was $4,000
tons. valued at s613.133. Generally
speaking, the mineral colors are more
valuable to the painter and the vegeta-
BILE pigments to the dyer Even skim
med milk has been called upon to fur
nish casein for the manufacture of wa
ter paints Mineral paints are used in
decorating china, the color being burn
ed into the clay. Oil paints or stains
are generally used cor outdoor work,
but the use of water paints IS growing
rapidly, they are being perfected so
as to withstand chemical and atmos-
pheric action.

Dorothy Dir es The h ei If:

a snail and always carries her home on
her back. She is part of her family
surroundings. and she cannot escape
from her mothers grammar and her
fathers shirt sleeves and pipe as east
ly as her brother can.
Still. the poor girl with social aspi-
rations, need not mourn as one without
hope. The old fairy story of Cinderella
and the fairy prince does come true
even in these days, and we can all point
TO a dozen cases where a girl has gone
from the switchboard of telephone or
a typewriter's desk, or from behind a
counter to be Mrs. Millionaire, with a
house on Fifth avenue and a cottage
at Newport, and a visiting list that
reads like a chapter from Who's Who
in Society.
4 Contemplate Figure. =
After ALL however. the social climber
is a rather contemplate figure. 1t seems
a waste Of ambition to want to know
people who don't want to know you,
and beyond the difficulty of breaking
into the smart set. there is little sue
cess to which any intelligent and ener-
getic young woman may not aspire. so
there is no need for my correspondent
to lead a dull life in the dreary sur
roundings to which she was born If she
doesn't wish to.
There is practically no field of occu-
patton that is not opened up to women
now. and in which a wOmanS own abil-
ity and industry do not set the limit to
her achievements. Success in any line
brings to her the same reward that, IL
does to a man. Her salary will buy her
the same luXuries, just as good clothes,
Just as desirable a place in which 10
live, and throw her in contact with just
the same people. Then it is up to her
to make these people friends; to make
herself so agreeable that they will de-
sire her society.
Personality Counts.
The girl who starts in a big depart
ment store as a cash girl has just as
good a chance to rise to be a high
priced buyer or head of a department
as the boy who begins as a cash boy
The girl who studies stenography
writes her own price tag just as the
boy does, by the degree of efficiency
she achieves. In these times, when
every employer is on a still hunt for
intelligent labor and faithfulness and
industry, no woman need stay where
she was put by birth.
She can make money and get the
creature comforts that money buys
ard the rest depends upon her personal
ity. If she is sweet and gracious, if she
reads and studies and makes herself
interesting, If she radiates sympathy
and good cheer, she need never be
afraid that the really best people, if not
the most fashionable, wherever she
goes will not welcome her to their
hearths and homes.

W. ? HEN l was boy, more than oO
M years ago. 1 read a story
w which made very strong I'M
pression upon me. Perhaps IT was not
true but it was told with SO many de-
tails that I never for moment doubted
that it had really happened VIII lrS
to tell it just as it was told me.
Three young men after good dinner
in small German restaurant were
chatting over their fruit and WINE
when middle aged man entered and
ordered a glass of beer and a steak.
He was of average height and there
was nothing in his appearance to at
tract special attention His hair was
turning gray and rather thin, his face
wore an expression of slight melah-
choly and he wore gray oVercoat Oh
military cut with turned up collar.
Without raising his eyes or looking
at anyone he sat eating his steak ana
slipping his beer until a cherry PIX
which one of the gentlemen at the table
opposite was playing with hit his ear.
He looked straight at the party ana
from their faces he could easily tell that
II was not bv mere accident the cherry
pit had hit him.
He said nothing, however, but bent
down. picked up the pit and a smile
fitted across his face as he wrapped II
into a piece of paper and put IT into
his handkerchief, ard this strange be-
havior made the little group at the ia
BILE opposite burst out laughing
He took no notice whatever of their
impudence until another cherry pit hit
him. this time on the elbow. This, too.
he picked up from the floor and put 1t
into his handkerchief, greatly to the
amusement of the three cads.
A few moments later one of them
threw a pit which hit the stranger
chest-it was also put into the hand
kerchief.
When he arose and paid for his meal
the three young men suddenly grew
strangely quiet. 1t was not easy to tell
why. for there was surely not the
slightest trace of irritation or anger
in the strangers face He looked lit
tie taller and perhaps carried his head
a little more proudly.
Slowly he walked across the floor
to the table where they were sitting
and with the calm dignity. which is
far more imposing than fury, he took
his card from his cardcase and handed
it with the utmost politeness to the
man who had inSulted and thus forced
him to give him his card. While he
unbottoned his coat to get his card
case. the three young men got glimpse
of his dress, which was evidently thai

CLERKS IRE COLD.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
This is plea from two or three IN
behalf of the clerks in some of the
stores in the city. We are told they
suffer from cold; that the roorns are not
heated sufficiently. If this is so, IT IS
a matter for adjustment The emf
ployer expects his clerks to be courte-
Gus and smiling to customers, and this
demand is wise, but it seems hardly pos
sible for one while shivering with cold
to even look agreeable. They who are
most concerned do not like to complain
we do this for them, and ask for more
comfortable conditions-not alone their
comfort but their health and efficiency
is in question
