St-enographcrs are manufactured by
business colleges out of shop girls,
farmers daughters, and assistant
housekeepers, with now and then a
high school graduate as a prize pack
age. They have good cducatlons and
can spell almost any small work by ear.
However, the memory of the average
stenographer is somewhat defective,
which makes 1t almost Impossible for
her to understand her notes after they
have stood for g few minutes.
Stenographers are great linguists and
are forever ~inventing new words and
phrases. A stenographer will write
Supreme Cuff "Snuborgination,'
Witness be noses and says and other
remarkable improvements on the
language, without giving it a thought.
indeed most of them are very modest
over these achievements and will take
half an hour of their employers valu-
able time to convince him he is en-
titled to all the credit of the improve
ments
Ste~nographers get from 80 a week to
$4,000 q year and earn less and more
than this. A poo stenographer is dean
at So a week. while there is always a
waiting list Of eager employers for the
$500 a month stenographer Who sharp
ems her pencils in her spare time, and
writes letters which can be signed but
not read"
Stenographers should always dress
modestly and refrain from anything
but business conversation during Office
hours. Unless they do this, they are
very likely to become ~millionaires'
wives, or to meet some other equally
terrible fate.

In New York and Paris, however, the
dog attains his greatest usefulness. In
these cities he is one Of the mediums
by which the money OF the unnaturally
rich is separated from them and is
restored to the channels of trade. It
Is possible to spend $4,000 a month on
