A New World Revival of an
Old World Occupation
for Women.
BY Mary Marshall.
CHAPTER NXNI.

lhAt fah M A.
Last winter a young society woman sud-
denly found herself practically penniless,
and as a means of earning her own living
and II possible. 10 regain a part or the
lost family fortunes. she opened flower
shop. She rented small store In the
fashionable shopping centre In the city In
which she had formerly been one OF the
society favorites, had II decorated and
fitted up I'm the most approved manner,
and went into business as a retail florist.
She was successful from the start and not
the least OF tho reasons why people, when
they wanted TO buy flowers, went out OF
their way to patronize this new shop was
the fact that It's proprietor was woman.
Every one seemed TO think that 1t was
most extraordinary. They had heard OF
women doctors and women lawyers, and
even women brokers, but they had never
heard OF a woman florist.
As matter of fact. women who may
properly be termed florists are not so un-
usual as one would think. Although the
opening OF the flower shop by this partlcu-
lar society woman caused no end OF COM
ment, flower raising and flower selling have
always been carried on by women. and the
various forms OF Horticulture open up to-day
delightful line OF feminine activity.
Tho most thorough training for fioricul-
tural work is to be gained In the state
agricultural colleges, practically all Of
which are co-educational. To be sure. you
DO not often hear of parents sending their
daughters to the agricultural colleges to
learn how to grow roses or violets or
chrysanthemums but a year or so thus
spent would lead much more surely to
delightful means OF self-support than
year spent at music or art or dramatics.
Almost as satisfactory as year spent
In the agricultural college would be a
years apprenticeship In first class nur-
sery. IN which such flowers as your daugh-
ter wants to make speciality In are grown
Some such preparatory training is de-
sirable. but there are many instances
where women who had neither the ad-
vantage Of a course In an agricultural col
lege nor an apprenticeship In a nursery
have found good living Mt flower raising
One notable case Is that of a graduate OF
the musical school of Wellesley College
Her musical ambitions were high. but i'm
paired health made her abandon her de-

type comes in all sizes and weights. and
tho rubber tube can be arranged with q
spring hook like the electric wire and cleo
trio irons To avoid linking of the rub
Der, II Is wise to first buy a heavy grade OF
tubing and have II attached TO a high
point, so the tube may lead down TO the
iron and not tangle. as II will in sweeping
| back and forth over the table There Is
now on the market metal tubing which
wears admirably and does not klnk.
Electric irons will be found most service
able for saving labor. Endless walking to
and fro is not only wearing to the ironer
but necessitates a great loss Of time. For
household laundry work these devices
should not be too light In weight. for In
heavy ironing considerable moisture Is
present and they cool faster than they
heat For most work an iron weighing not
more than the above stated SIX to eight
pounds IL preferable. A regula ting switch
Is often OF little value and is quite likely to
get out Of order in the hands Of an isno-
rant or careless worker, though In good
hands II Is convenient. Shut on the cur
rent by turning the switch and not by
severing the connection at the iron. This
precaution Is importantly AS safety
device small one candlepower electric
light should be attached TO show when
ever the iron is In use. The cords that are
, suspended from the ceiling and attached tc
the electric iron may be lifted out Of the
way by a bird cage spring. This spring
lifts the cord as we'll as gives freedom to
the operator when the iron is In use.
Asbestos pads such as are used In ovens
anA Inn
they are used under the usual iron rest
Pads made OF shrunken flannel and muslin
stitched together (pad fashion, are very
easily slipped under embroideries and en-
broidered initials corners or edges. Iron
holders with pockets for the fingers. which
otherwise suffer from the heat that Is re-
Elected from the iron, are g. comfort and
can be used with irons not protected from
this discomfort. These holders are made In
two styles. one with the padded pocket,
which is not easily cleaned; the other with
a pocket formed by snappers. folding about
one third of the holder back on itself This
one IL easily washed and kept clean and
may be bought for 10 cents.
To keep clothes baskets clean, un-
bleached bags. shaped like the basket. lied
in with tapes, will be found Of great use.
These are good for either tie clothes
hamper or the laundry basket. The clothes
pin apron bag is not only n modern econo-
mixer OF energy but It is most useful.
The basket OF clothespins so often used,
Is likely to be at the other end Of the line
when II Is wanted whereas the apron Lag
with its supply OF pins can be easily fast
ened round the waist Of the laundress end
Is ever present. The most practical ma
terial for this bag 10 ticking. because OF its
we'll tested wearing and cleaning qualities.
In regard to washing equipment, before
a woman can come TO any conclusion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY OF installing a washing
machine 10 her homo. she ought 10 study

sired career The fact that she had to earn
her own living made her look about for
some sort OF occupation that was at the same
time remunerative and health productive.
Accordingly, with a few hundred dollars
she had in the bank she built green
house In one of the suburbs of Boston and
started In raising cut flowers and potted
plants for the local demand She had had
no previous professional experience or
training whatever but her natural knack
OF making things grow and her innate love
OF flowers stood her in good stead. and she
is now carrying on a profitable business.
In many of the fashionable resorts worri'
en- make pretty penny raising cut flowers
One woman whose year-'round home is IN
the centre OF very popular summer resort
every year plants about hundred square
feet OF her garden to sweetpeas. For four
months I'm the summer she Is kept busy
cultivating these beautiful flowers, when
she has I'm every conceivable color. and go
constant Is the demand from the summer
colonists for them that she Is able to lay
away $500 or $500 at the end OF each sum-
mer for the work she has put In.
At present there are not very many open
ings for women as employees In the florist
business that your daughter would proba-
bly, like to accept. There are few large
carnatlon and rose establishments where
women are employed to disbud the carns'
tions and roses and as pickers; but this
work is almost solely done by foreign born
women who are willing to do 1t for a wage
that would not tempt the young American
woman OF the present generation. There
- ~.
packers and decorators where the salaries
are fairly good. Saleswomen In retail and
wholesale establishments are paid about as
we'll as other saleswomen OF similar selling
ability.
One Of the newest phases Of Horticulture
is In the realm Of teaching. In many or
the crowded cities there are stretches OF
park land set aside for the flower gardens
OF the children OF the tenements. Here
from spring to autumn, the little ones
gather to tend their gardens. and learn,
under the tutelage OF an experienced
teacher, the destinations OF flower garden
Ing. Teachers who I'LL such posts have to
combine a knowledge of gardening, with
thorough training and experience In teach
ing children. They are usually employed
by settlement and other philanthropic as
sociations which carry on this line of good
work
Still another field for the woman who
understands flowers Is writing about them.
No country or suburban house IL consid-
cred we'll equipped nowadays without =
few OF the new garden periodicals. and the
woman who can write clever, up-to-dAte.
articles can find ready sale.

A charming way to distribute the favors
