THE GIRL ON THE JOB.
by Jessie Roberts.
PART TIME WORK.

PART TIME WORK.
There are two reasons why part time
work is sought. The first is that the wo-
man who has her own home To run cannot
be away all day without serious oonse-
auences, particularly if she is o mother as
we'll MS wife. Yet lt il sometimes neces-
sarv TO have the woman add something to
the direct income Part time work is the
solution.
The second reason is that the regular
Job does not pay enough. This ia often the
case with teachers and librarians and
other professional workers whose salaries
are small while the calls upon them are
great. They do not want 10 give up the
special professional labor In which they
are regularly engaged yet they must have
more money.
Summer jobs are various, from acCept-
ing positions rs governess To children,
or waiting at summer hotels, to filling In
1T Offices where vacations are cutting down
the regular force. \ stenngraphic summer
Job can often be secured in an office for
two weeks or month. and then another
one and SO on until the vacation season
closes Some women are successful in
taking parties of young girl or older wo-
men on tourist excursions, charging good
price for services Of this sort.
Lecturing is another good part time Job.
The lectures are planned for women g
clubs and political associations. To sue
ceed here, you must be good speaker, and
have from four to six lively papers 10 read
on any given subject. or on two or three
allied subjects II is best TO specialize.
Teaching craft work is an excellent
part time occupation, and so are the vari-
GUS housekeeping jobs that are opening
for the trained woman who wishes to give
only half day TO such work. Two women
| know divide between them the work of
an office. rs well rs the salary One goes
for the morning, the other for the after
noon. and this has worked we'll

Restraints Of the Money Pinch
Reduced Trading to Ex-

New York. June 23.-Thc waiting
character OF the market was more pro.
nounccd than over in today's trading
The continued high cost and scarcity Of
credit was responsible. 1t would be no
cxaggcration to state that the street, as
a whole felt the effects of the money
pinch more acutcly today than at any
time since the loaning institutions be-
gan to pull the purse strings. Not only
were money rates high. but money was
also extremely hard to get. To make
matters more uncomfortable for the
eager borrowers there vas known to be
heavy calling of loans all over the street.
The renewal rate for call money was
again fixed at 8 per cent. but II was
soon found requests for call loans were
considerably in excess of supply on
hand. Before midday the rate had been
pushed up to 10 entirely because of the
urgent demand. with every indication

of the brokers to obtain the necessary
accommodations from the banks and
other loaning institutions.
Considering the restraints and acute
ness of tho money shortage the market
gave Il remarkable exhibition of under
lying inherent strength. Little or no
significance was to be attached to the
mcrcurial variations. as these were en-
tirely the results Of the scalping opera
