A Woman Banker

IN Brookline, Massachusetts,, lived girl
named Alice Carpenter. Her people
had means, and she graduated from
Smith College. Then she travelled abroad,
and later became interested in social set
tlcment work in Boston. She investigated
such things as astrikc of shirtwaist makers,
and entered the suffrage movement. In
1912 she was appointed member of a
womans committee at the convention of
the Progressive party in Chicago, and spoke
in ninety different places in the West
All this time she was managing a COM
Portable fortune that had descended to her
She studied the subject of investments,
and handled her affairs with caution.
In 1914 Miss Carpenter came to New
York to consider several opportunities
that had developed in business lines. She
was inclined toward business. and wanted
something that would give her ideas Il
chance for free play.
1t was about this time that the banking
house of William p. Bonbright & Co., in
New York, decided to open a woman's
department. and to put a woman at the
head of it.
Opportunity is, indeed, a curious thing.
This house wanted level-headed woman
of dlscernment, who had experience in
managing investments. Miss Carpenter
was such a woman, and she came to the
attention of these bankers. She is now

lication over there, and, in her own time,
wrote life of Napoleon for children.
Since her return to America in 1913
Miss McClelland says she has been doing
general housework" at Wanamaker's in
New York Her friends say she is one of
the most original characters in that huge
store She has shown that merchandising
offers to women an attractive field, if they
will put ideas into their work.
Miss McClelland has originated many
things, and put them through. She con-
ccivcd the School Chldren's Art Contest
in the Philadelphia store. and hers was
the idea that started the Personal Service
Bureau. She superntends the art work
and the stage exhibitions in the store audi
torium; and she designs special furniture
and lighting fixtures. She writes the
French part of advertisements some
times, and has made hit with French
headings. She originated what she calls
the "super-store one of the most attrac-
tive of the departments. She started the
School and College Service Bureau, and
"A great many things in the big store are
first referred to her. Hers is the intimate
touch. Ideas!

From Candy Making to
"Ad" "-Writing

IN former article | told about a girl
4 who made candy. Here is another one
whose story begins that way, but ends
very differently. Miss Nancy Vincent
McClelland lived in Poughkecpsie, New
York. She wanted to attend Nassar
College. in that city, and, to get the
money, began to make candy at homc
selling it about town. Her enterprise
attracted the attention of Frederick F.
Thompson, the bcncfactor of Nassar, and
he bestowed scholarship on her, as he
had on other girls who showed grit.
Miss McClcland graduated from Vas
sar in 1897. She had meant to teach
Latin. but instead she went into news
paper work. She applied at a number
of newspaper offices, and landed a job as
reporter on the Philadelphia Press at eight
dollars a week.
Then, in the Spansh-American War,
she was a Red Cross nurse at an army
camp in the United States.
After she was back on the Philadelphia
Press, Miss McClclland was sent one day
to interview John Wanamaker. To get
to him required enterprise and patience,
but She arrived.
Soon aftcrward. in 1901, this Young
woman received an invitation to call at
the Wanamakcr store. She was getting
something more than thirty dollars a week
from the Press, but now she took job
at Wanamaker's at forty, as an advertise
ment writer
In 1906 she was sent to Europe by
Wanamaler's, to study the products of
the Continent. She was attached to the
Paris Office, and travelled great deal.
For seven years she remained abroad
most of the time doing various things for
Wanamaker' She edited house pub

Miss .4iice Carpenter managed her own
investments so weH that a New York
bank decided to put her at the head Of
its momdn's department.
Maybe this was chance; but hard
work and ability usually find more than
one chance. Other stories followed in the
Picdyune and in various periodicals.; and
then the message came from the Picaynne:
"Comc down and work for u.s."
She went-at ten dollars Il week. Then
she got fifteen dollars, and later twenty
dollars. They sent her out first to
"cover" a funeral, and afterward the staff
had lot of fun because she wept so
delightfully."- in print,
1t was new style. anyway, that she
put over, as the saying is, New Orleans
liked it, and Mrs. Gilmer inaugurated
two special departments for which she
wrote in her own way. In looking about
for IA nom de plume under which she could
weep and laugh as much rs she pleased.
she remembered that an old ncgrcss had
called her husband Dix" She took that
name and put "Dorothy" in front of it,
because she liked the name. That was
Up in New York there were some
newspaper men who read the New Orleans
Picoyune, and they liked the sound of
those weeps and trills of laughter. Would
Dorothy come to New York at seventy
five dollars a week.
To-day she is one of the highest paid
women in newspaper work-a little wo-
man with dark eyes, who reports murders
or love, and likes to tell jokes on herself.
The Best Paid Woman in Advertising
A BOUT twenty years ago girl named
Jane Johnston Martin studied ste
biography in New York, where she lived,
and found II position with A. b. Scott,
patent-medicine man. For seven wears
she worked along steadily but without
great progress. and then she was made
her employers private secretary.
The proprietor went to Europe, as he
often did, on the company's business, and
was gone six months. 1t fell to Miss
Martins lot to look after the advertising
While he was gone she worked out some
original ideas, and showed them to him
on his return.
