not believe it. But I give you my
honest, cross-my- heart-hope I-may-

every syllable Of it is gospel truth
Some months ago got a letter from
a young woman VINO lived in the
country and desired TO come to town
to seek her fortune, and who wrote
asking my advice about the best way
TO get work I replied politely, in
curing what kind Of work she had
fitted herself to do and asking if she
knew how TO sew, or teach, or keep
books, or typewrite, or clerk.
She wrote back that she knew how
to do none of these things, but that
what she had thought Of doing was
TO get Mrs. Russell Sage, or Mrs Helen
Gould Shepard, or Mrs. Belmont 10
lend her a few thousand dollars, and
with this she thought that she could
make a fortune by establishing
Longing room on Wall street fitted
up with luxurious touches on which
the brokers could recline after lunch
while they slipped Turkish coffee and
smoked cigarettes
I replied 10 this letter by assuring
her that in the first place no philan-
thrOpist, however generous, was lend
ing out money to strangers TO start
lOunEing rooms. Also that, in the sec
ond place Wall street brokers didn't
lounge and refresh themselves nor sip
Turkish coffee in business hours.
That they gulped down a glass of milk
and swallowed a piece Of pie whole
and kept their attention glued on the
tape instead Of dreaming Of houri.
Might Make Fortune Tending Canaries
Ny correspondent then wrote that
she had read Of a woman who came
TO New York and made $1,000 a year
by going from house TO house taking
care Of canary birds, and that she was
very fond Of canaries and thought this
would be a nice opening for her.
To this I replied that I feared the
fortunes to be made by taking care Of
canary birds had been somewhat ex-
aggerated, as every one took care of
her own canaries, or had already paid
servants who did so.
Nothing daunted by this discOur-
agement, my correspondent wrote [
