With one single exception she re-

bidding her come and inspect the
houses to her hearts desire. The
young American girl started out at

dukes and earls and lords of England.

That was that In spite of the wealth

there was still n great deal about

When Miss Ferris had made her tour

that art Of interior decorating has re.
ceived more attention of late years
than 1t has In England. And here
again she succeeded by the same sim
pie method In gaining an entree to
the best furnished houses OF that cap.
ital. With this inspiration and expe.
rience she came back to America
ready to take up her profession of In.
terror decorator.
Took Up New Work.
Miss Ferris Is n graduate OF Smith
college, and when she was graduated
she entered st. Luke's hospital in New
York to become trained nurse. When
after a few months work she faced
the realization that she was not fitted
to stand the strain and fatigues OF this
calling. her first feeling was one of
keen disappointment. Many young
women would have given up the hope
OF making "a career for themselves az
ter this setback, but not so Miss Fer
ris. She went to work deliberately to
discover another profession. She had
always been fond of art and decora-
ton. In her work In the hospital
wards the things that struck her most
and palled upon her were the bare
ness and necessary austerity OF the
surroundings. Her eyes longed for
beauty. for color. harmony In shape
and tone. She thought first OF taking
up portraiture, but, realizing that she
was not skillful enough with the BRUSH
for this. she decided to be an interior
decorator. So scarcely had she
abandoned the nurses uniform before

she had enrolled as a student in one
of the large schools OF applied art in
New York-not many blocks away
from the hospital where her FIRST am.
bition had spent its brief life.
Started on Borrowed Money.
1t was after she had finished
short course in the art school that she
went to work in the shop Of an interior
decorator, where she remained three
weeks. At the end Of that time she
decided to start in by herself.
Her friends tried to discourage her.
It was perfectly impossible. they told
her, for an interior decorator to start
In alone in New York without all kinds
of capital and all kinds of backing.
She would have to furnish her office.
to buy equipment-statione sewing
machines and all the other parapherna-
liza of her trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident of her own ability and her
own judgment. She borrowed five
hundred dollars. took a tiny Office in a
first-class Office building in the New
York shopping center and waited to
make good. In the meantime she told
everyone she knew about her plans,
and kept up with the alumnae activi-
ties of her alma mater.
One of the first orders that came to
her was to decorate the home OF Miss
Woolley. the president of Mount Hol-
yoke college. Not long afterward the
Collegiate Equal Suffrage league
opened little shop In the shopping
center OF New York and Miss Ferris.

provided the suffrage league would
consult her on all decorating schemes.
The league had taken a hopeless little
basement store. II was dark and
stuffy, but with thoughtful arrange

ly arranged lights the little shop was
thoroughly transformed.
Soon Became Known.
There are many suffragists OF wealth
| and influence In New York and when
they came to the suffrage shop to buy
the latest book on the feminist move
ment. suffrage note paper. banners and
badges and other paraphernalia, they
were struck by the pleasing effect OF
the shop. Later when they thought
Of having their town or country homes
furnished or refurnished, they would
