WHAT GIRLS MAY DO
A Plucky Woman and What She Di
BY JESSIE ROBERTS.

Here is one of those little stories that
are a help and boost to all of US. Just
the tale of how one woman. suddenly re-
duced from riches to the necessity of
earning her own living. went about the
job.
In her aff1uent days she had patronized
all the best shops And among her
friends were many women like herself,
with plenty of money to spend and a
perfect willingness to spend it. So far as
she could see. those were her entire as
sets. for she knew nothing she could do
would bring in a living wage.
So she pooled the two.
She went to every woman who seemed
likely to be interested in her idea, and
proposed to do her shopping for her.
Then she went to a chosen number of
shops dealing in women's and children s
and household goods and asked them
what commission she would be allowed
If she brought the trade of certain pur-
chasers to them. explaining that she had
been given the job of doing their buying
for them.
These prelminaries settled. she studied
her proposed work carefully-learned
just where the best of anything was to
be had. who charged least for the same
quality. where the smartest or the dain-
test or the best wearing things were to
be got. She had all announcements of
sales sent to her in advance OF the regu-
lar advertising announcements, she knew
when and where to obtain an imported
article that would be the first thing
over. and she made it her business to
know the tastes and styles of her Gus
toners. Many of these were out-of-town
people.
That woman is now making enough to
go to Europe every year. where she buys
for several of her customers, and has a
tidy bank account Also, she enjoys the
work.
