Mrs. Argso has been FL years on
Whitehall street. She has purchased
many times in New York and she has
ordered laces from Dublin and Brus-

scientific worker, but the kind OF
work she does is the kind many women

Story of a Type.
THE women in the community who
buy laces and embroideres are usually
the women who represent the best in
culture and in thought. That class Of
women can be served intelligently and
without reference to foolish whims or
tawdry tastes. One feels the reflections
of her associations in her own life.
In telling you my own story, l am
telling you the story of a type, and 1t
can be so considered.
Il began work in a dry goods store
25 years ago. 1t was in the Woodward
Lothrop store in Washington city.
From there I went to Richmond and
from there to Atlanta I was never a
cash girl or a stock girl, but l began
at the bottom Of the ladder just the
same. In looking back over the years,
l can see but two dominant reasons
why I advanced-a study Of the bust
ness and hard, conscientious work
Studied Carefully.
Everything which attracted my at
tention studied carefully. Before long
began to have a fair general knowl-
edge of the inner workings of a dry
goods store This knowledge continued
to grow broader and broader until
was a worker Of certain value to my
firm. Promotion followed in the natu-
raj order.
"a number of things are necessary
to success. One must know something
of mathematics, must have an artistic
sense and must understand human ma

into her department.
These qualities need not necessarily
be developed to an abnormal degree. A
moderate allowance of each will get her
through quite acceptably If she has
the willingness and the ambition. The

BUSINESS MEN ID
 HELP STOP FIRES
FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION IN THIS STATE MAKES REPORT
 ON HOT SPRINGS.
Conditions Not Bad Here, but There is Much Room for improvement
 In Small Ways.

The visit here recently of the off cers of the Arkansas Association for the Prevention of Fires, has developed one thing. and that is that conditions are not bad in Hot Springs, but that there is very little attention given ta small things which would help reduce the fire losses.
 lin the campaign Of education in this state, the public is being shown how important the little thlags are in the matter of fire prevention, and an inter view from Chief Swingley of St Louis, fire chief, proves this in the follow ing:
 The great trouble with American cities is the unwillingness on the part of the business men to make any eff fort toward the prevention of fires. All of the cautionary measures now in ef- feet have been taken by the insurance companies in their own interest and these are the only means Of protection that the citizens have. All of the re- cent fires in St. Louis have been caus- ed by neglect and carelessness.
 People will not desist from throw ing lighted matches and cigars into places where they may catch fire and cause damage. In the Huttig compa- ny's fire at 1206 South Vandeventer avenue, the alarm was not turned in until fully a third of the property had ignitei. This fire, with its great loss. was due to carelessness on the part of some one. possibly from match or 1 lighted cigarette.
 "Very soon in St Louis will be pro posed bill prohibiting the nse .o lcommon sulphur matches. These dc

more damage in the great cities than any other one thing, and if reople can not learn to use them with care, they will have to be prohibited as the cost in lives and property is too great. Another cause of fires is oily rags thrown in corners where they become almost explosive. A person entering closet with lighted match often drops it.
 All fires are caused by careless ness. What we want is cooperation by the people of our city to help us in the prevention of fires. We do our best to put them out, and it Is up 10 you to be careful and try to encour- age the spirit of thoughtfulness on the part of those in your employ"
