and successfully pass examinations for

about SEQ year and working up to over

school teaching. al which she will make
from 50 10 s. a night for four nights in

But the big money and the wide expert

A good deal depends on this first posi-

her ability came to the attention or IN
advertising manager of the magazine. wh'
had the reputation OF being on the look
out for bright assistants. and he had ne
promoted to his department, with a Sign
raise in wages. In a few months she be
came private secretary to the advertising
manager and with this change came an
other slight raise.
The business was growing and Whei
three more women stenographers were
added to the advertising managers staff
his private secretary was put in charge
Next she was promoted to a position as
assistant to the advertising manager, With
n salary of so week
This Young woman had come with no
previous training I'm advertising. but she
saw what was to be done and did il well.
Usually business men don't want women
who can step I'm ami tell them how TO run
their business. but quick, bright, well edu-
Gated well bred, quietly dressed women
who can be trained in their ways Of doing
things. All these qualifications this par
ticular young woman had.
In many lines Of stenographic work a
young woman Of apt mind and good train
ing can step without much Inconvenience
from one hne Of work to another-from a
good place in a publishing house, FOR in
stance, to an equally good place in mer-
camille house. But there are some lines
I'm stenographic work which call for spe-
cialists and pay accordingly.
In lawyers office for example. the
stenosrapher with special legal training
gets a salary worth working for. But 10
get this salary she must enter a lawyers
office at a beginners wage and patiently
90 a beginners work. Day by day she be-
comes accustomed to the routine Of a law
yer's duties She learns to answer his let
ters with only a word from her employer,
to get up professional looking legal docu-
ments, 20 meet his clients. 10 take evidence
direct on the typewriter and finally to
help him with his briefs. When after four
or five years experience, the lawyer $
stenographer learns 10 90 all these things
accurately and intelligently she sometimes
earns az much as $40 a week.
II your daughter has a good deal of pluck
and some capital she can hang out her
shingle I'm some Office building as a public
stenographer. one young woman who be-
gan this way ten years ago now has staff
Of five assistants and an extensive equip
ment for doing mlmeographing and ad-
dressing. She is able to clear an income Of
about 5000 a year. Other women have
done even better, some Of them netting as
much as $1,000 a year I'm this way.
Two young women are to-day studying
side by side in one OF the country's big
stenographic schools. one OF them has
lately found herself penniless and has
turned TO stenography because she believes
it is the quickest and surest way TO earn
good living. The other is the daughter Of
a man whose fortune is rated at 100000
whose name is known from coast to coast
She is studying uography-incognita 10
be sure-because she believes that this is
the best way to gain the accuracy prompt
ness and knowledge OF business methods

CHAPTER I.

What father and mother want their
daughter to be a stenographer?' say many
a mother and father who are looking for
a bright and rosy future for their daugh-

are 100 confning. No. our daughter mast

that"
Then perhaps they make teacher OF
their daughter. who is no more fitted to
teach a class Of squirming boys and girls
their letters than fish is to walk, or.
maybe. they keep her at home TO help
with the housework-to wash dishes I'LL
She is sick of the sight of them.

"Oh. no. Kava, the native drink, is not
Intoxicating. 1t IS the white man who
teaches those natives to get drunk. The
whites are doing a lot OF harm in all those

one Of the discomforts Miss Bayly cx-
pericnces IN out-of-the-way corners is the

in Samoa, for instance, l could get little

me terribly sick"

their confidence. to get to really know

In the Fiji Islands Miss Bayly assisted

from one island TO another in an outr:g-
ger canoc-sitting on the tipmost end of the
rigging-to be present at the trial of the
mayor Of a village.

laughed Miss Rayly, And do YOU know, |

No WORK ON SUNDAY.
Six Days Of Labor Should BE- the

President James N, Lynch or the

gives his views on sunday work as
follows: "The seven day week obtain

tons to give out one day each week
to the first obtainable substitute. AZ
q result our wages for six days are
now in excess of the wage formerly
received for the seven day week. The
subject WAS forcibly impressed upon
me by paragraph appearing In the
