do this important work The same Is
true of the office OF the Superintendent
OF Documents in Washington. one of the
duties of this official is TO publish at the
close OF each Congress a catalogue of all
! documents printed py the Government
during the term Of the Congress. The
! law which imposed this duty was passed
January. 1875. and since that time eight
! bulky catalogues have been published
each the work OF a woman.
This is only one of a number Of in
stances where women are employed in
specialized work Of this sort. and there is
practically no limit to the opportunities
to be found in these branches of library
work
l have said enough though to indicate
the need of special training and ability
If girl has it in mind to work up 10 one
of the executive positions. The ability.
OF course, is an unknown quantity until
the worker has been tested. But the
training is easy enough to get. Most
! large libraries maintain training schools
of their own, the object being to fit local
applicants for local positions. Where the
library itself is run on up-to-date lines.
the experience obtained in one OF these
training classes is about equal to that
obtained in the regular schools, so far
as the practical rudiments of library
work are concerned. There IS this diff
ference. however, that in the training
class the student actually does the work
as 1t is being done, while in the school
she is taught how It should be done in a
supposltIous case.
A training class student doesn't give
as much time in preparation as a school
student does and pays no tuition, neither
does she expect the salary which a school
graduate receives. A training class girl
when first given a paid position usually
begins at the bottom and works up. A
school graduate doesn't expect to begin at
the bottom, but somewhere in the middle.
Aside from that, other things are pretty
nearly equal. as the efficiency of the
workers is much the same. and there is
no difference in their salaries,
The average salary for the experienced
worker is $40 a month. The beginners
salary is $50. The working hours vary,
but the average is about forty-two hours
a week. Evening work and Sunday work,
also holiday service. must be expected
Sometimes there is extra pay for this
service. sometimes not. The usual vaca-
ton is Hom three to four weeks, but some
libraries connected with institutions
whose activity ceases during the Sum-
mer months close their doors for the
Summer. Such libraries. however. are
an exception.
There are at the present time ten
schools in this country giving regular in
struction in library work. The Oldest Of

By ADELAIDE r.. HASSE,

Chief of Division OF Documents New
York Public Library.
THERE is a certain type of ,!sIl,',1 girl who
She is ambitious. but not specially
creative; fond of books, but with
no marked aptitude for writing: inteili-
gent and well educated. but not inclined
TO take up the work of a teacher, with its
heavy demands and its cramping limita
fions. or to go into an office where lit
erary tastes are usually at a discount.
Scores of these girls. who feel at home
the moment they get into a room lined
with books gain admission to the train
inE schools which are now established in
Connection with many public libraries or
take a course of instruction in some Ii
brary school. for only under very special
circumstances is an unframed assistant
employed in a public library. But there
are scores of others to whom the idea
of library work appeals with equal force,
hut who do not know how to set about
obtaining the necessary training and have
hut a very haZy idea of the equipment
necessary for the work. Also, there Is
general impression that library work, al
though pleasing and easy. is poorly paid,
and that advancement 10 the higher posi-
tions is very difficult. especially for a wo-
man.
In a sense, this is not far wrong. The
salaries raid to the majority of librarians
employed are moderate compared to those
paid for editorial work or for executive
positions in commercial work of all kinds.
Also II is quite true that most Of the
higher executive positions in libraries are
filled by men, but both of these condi-
tions are mainly due to the viewpoint of
the women who look to library work for
q vocation.
A large proportion Of the girls occupy
ing the minor positions are the daughters
of moderately well-to-do parents, girls
who work because they want to and not
because they have TO. These girls hav-
ing homes of their own and not being
Obliged to struggle for daily bread, can
afford to work for small salaries As
they are well educated and are usually
like it, these girls are very acceptable to
library authorities. Therefore salaries
have been kept at such level that men,
and women entirely dependent upon their
own exertions. have seldom felt that they
could afford to consider library work ex-
cept for the higher executive positions.
Fully seyen-eighths of the positions
in our public libraries are occupied by
women. Yet no woman has as yet risen
to the rank occupied by some of the fore
most men in the profession. Perhaps this
Is because the constructive faculty in
woman is not SO marked as her efficiency
The Washington herald., 1912-12-08

THE most acceptable gift a, girl under
obligations to a wealthy friend can
make her is a set of mats for the
bare table. This set should consist of
eight or twelve plate doilies 0 inches in
diameter, the same number of tumbler
doilies inches in diameter, and a centre
piece "a or q or 30 inches, according to
the size of the table.
Two yards of yard-wide linen should
be enough for the set, the smaller doilies
coming out in the interstices. Get a fine
round-thread linen, handwoven if you
can afford 1t. As there is little other ex-
pense. do not stint on the linen.
Do not attempt too elaborate a set, or
il will never be finished; besides, a good
looking set for daily use will be more
appreciated than more elaborate ones
which most housekeepers own more of.
A dainty set that can be designed at
home is made from a composite pointed
scallop of five shallow eighth Of an
inch scallops. The top ones of eacn
group are elongated and crossed to
form an oval eyelet. The size of these
scaIlops is easily adapted to the diff
ferent sized pieces,

Preparing Vegetables for Packing

took up the idea. He had been sup
plying vegetables to Summer residents
and cottages and decided to try the
! hamper idea. He advertised in the
local papers that he would have Long
Island hampers the following week.
! containing certain sorts Of veEeta bles.
He also left a printed slip with his
customers giving the information that
he would also be glad to supply peO-
pie after they returned to the city in
the Fall. Each week his advertise
ment appeared in the papers. giving
the variety Of vegetables he would
pack the following week. He was
soon swamped with orders.

merchants stores; no carting to retail
groceries: no standing around in the dust
and Crime and flies. but going straight
to the home as fast as express can get
it there. We tried it, and it worked
beautifully.
The hampers are made of light strips
of wood Set well apart so that there IS
plenty of ventilation. Each one OF these
six baskets packed in every hamper con-
tains four quarts Of fruits or vegetables.
There are three baskets at the bottom of
the crate, and over these is placed a
separator on which rest the other three
baskets. Tho baskets contain an assoTt-
ment of vegetables and fruits in season.
For example, one hamper will have
basket of newly dug potatoes. Another
basket will contain cabbage and bunch
Of parslry, and a third will be full OF
bccts and young carrots. This forms
the bottom layer. The top layer may
contain one basket OF blackcaps, one
basket of cucumbers, with a bunch of
spearmint tucked in, and one basket OF
kale.
Another shipment will be entirely diff
ferent, containing, possibly. green or wax
plant. parsley. tomatoes. cauliflower,
melons. young onions. dewberries. or
whatever the market garden contains at
that date.
Each basket is lined with green paraf-
fin paper, and all the vegetables are
washed under a SPRAY then shaken
slightly TO get rid Of the excess OF
water before packing. The paper is fold
ed over the top of the basket, SO that
the contents arrived at the home fresh
and crisp and moist. This keeps the
produce so fresh that the hampers can be
shipped to a considerable distance and
arrive in perfect shape. We send them
regularly TO Pennsylvania and Massachu-
sets. and have shipped hampers to Paris,
France, with perfect success.
To keep these baskets filled with
diversity of vegetables requires skill and
brains in the garden. 1t means that one
crop must succeed another in a continu-
Gus procession, and every inch of ground
must be kept busy all the time.
