Asetting down of the life and the semi
impressionistc maxims Of a business wom-
an appeals to me. Figures have been my
medium of expression much more than
written words.
But, after all, n message is a message,
no matter how sent and this one Is ad-
dressed to the women who think mans
commercial achievements are beyond their
reach. 1t is meant to read: THE only linn
itations to a woman's accomplishments are
her ambitions
To bes-s at the beginning ii is necessary
to go to TIE end-or rather. the climax
which Is that an ordinary, everyday woman
Is the treasurer of a million-dollar cor
poration.
How it all came about seems like a
dream but. let me tell you, there isn't
much dreaming can be done while directing
the finances and accounting of a concern
that handles more than $10,0000O0 worth
of business year.
Let's go back a bit-say. almost twenty
years.
: One day young girl (Which was -
went after a job, without the slightest busi-
ness knowledge or ideas She was armed
only with the thought that some day she
would realize her aspirations, which were,
however, not very clearly defined.
She didn't stop to consider whether the
or whether the men she would associate
would be polished men, plain men, or crude
men and the last thought that entered her
mind was the wages she would receive at
the start She wanted only the start.
She got that start with f. +. Houghton
& Co. at a stipend as small as the smallest
now paid any girl in that company's en-
nloy. She tried to work hard and faithfully
and one day the late president of the COM
nany. Aaron f. Carpenter selected her to
be his special clerk. He afterward told her
that il was because he had noticed that in
stead of doing fancy work and reading
novels in her spare time, or which there
was much In those days, she had developed
a curiosity regarding the details OF book
keeping.
DRIFTS" INTO CAsHIERsHIP
The business grew, and the bookkeeping
had to be separated from the cashiers
work, and she just drifted into the posi-
tion of cashier. Then. somehow, no one
seems to know exactly, she just went on
ward and upward until the entire account
ing department was at her command. From
there IL was only STEP even though DIG
one. to master that most difficult and intri-
cate and all-important factor in every
business, the finances.
There you have, in brief, the business
history of Miss Kathryne Haun to date. No
doubt the principles of success evolved
from this practical outline will be more
helpful and more interesting than the
chronological story.
Much has been said about the equahty
of women as compared with men In COM
mercal life, but it requires no such long
exnerience as L have had to appreciate
that. generally speaking, women are COM
mercially inferior to men, That is not oe-
cause they are inferior mentally; not be-
cause they are not naturally fitted FOR COM
mercial life but because, as rule women
lack that all essential qualincation which
men possess-ambitton

WHEN TO ENCORE IS
ARTISTS PROBLEM
Alma Gluck Says Many Are
Afraid to Refuse to Answer
When Hands Clap.

Alma Gluck, who is to appear with
the Apollo club on Wednesday eve

has the following to say regarding en-
cores:
''TO encore or not to encore That
is often the greatest worry that an
artist has As a matter of fact there
is a great deal of personal vanity in
giving encores. and still on the other
hand If a singer does not respond
time and again, the audience says she
is 'stingy' or too proud Many artists
will respond to applause Of the mild
est kind; there are Several whose
names are well known that are afraid
to let an opportunity to sing escape
them, and as soon as they are called
out to bow, they sing too. / call that
trivial vanity, and IL is very cheap
enng.
Audiences as a rule are always po-
liteness personified and they never
let effort go unrcwarded; on this ac-
count no one should impose on good
nature without pronounced encour-
agement. My ideas on the subject
may he worth something or they may
not, but | have made a little rule to
follow and seldom break it. only
after three recalls do | sing an en-
core; the first recall | ascribe to po-
liteness; the second to appreciation of
the song and composer, and then If
the applause still continues, | feel
that the audience really wants to hear

happy to sing an extra number

my encores and am frank To say that
there is no rule about that. My ac-
companist and | usually think of two
or three things together and we i'm

ment upon which one | shall sing.

the court but no action was taken to-

provide for the payment Of the decree
and judgment with interests. As an
alternative the petition asks that the
