w two young women have opened unique
brokerage Office for the purpose of saving
other persons time in an expert way
Public time economzers are an innovation in the
business world anywhere, although a philanthropic
scheme modelled something on the same lines as
the New York brokerage has been established in one
of the countries Of Europe But whatever there is
of the philanhroplc nature in the local venture
Is so small that II can scarcely be noticed, while
the business idea of providing time and saving time
at so much an hour or "by the piece" is to be played
for all II Is worth
At the outset these progressive young women have
shown that there is after all something under
the sun. And they have proved once more that
women have ideas worth capitalzing
First of all be 1t understood that theirs is studio,
In effect, not office. The main room for receiving
orders and meeting clients who are short Of time
Is the large front part of an old fashioned brown
stone house not many blocks from the shopping dis
trct. It's decorations Of kind that appeal at

departments handled by the time savers, the ex-

has been designed specially to interest clients
There is a suggestion of the modern German note
in the curousy figured paper and solid wicker fur
nlture, with white lattced flower holder its
wicker stand, in the front studio, Its simplicity
makes 1t n suitable workshop, however when the

best methods of saving time for fair client take
place
The mornings mail for instance, is consecrated 20
this inner shrine, And you can picture the head
worker going 1t carefully as she leans back
against the luXurously plump cushions to match the
ashes of roses silk couch covering. And IL your eye
wanders for moment from the business in hand 1t
will seek as needle finds the magnet, the one bright
bit OF rose color standing out In striking contrast with
the dull soft hues Of the rest of the ROOM The cling

over the ashes of roses screen, but II provides the
most pleasing bit Of color imaginable.

portance because 1t shows what sort of success the
time savers having 1t also shows what sort of
persons want to time and what they consider the
details of life which best be handed over to the
experts.
