Of ways. One thing brings on an
other. People tell Miss Gessner
that so-and-so is intending to go to
Chicago. Immediately Miss Gessner
calls on the man or woman and pre-
eents timetables and other convenient
data to show that the Baltimore and
Ohio system is able to provide the
most desirable route.
One Of the things Miss Gessner al
ways does is to read the newspapers.
both morning and afternoon. They al
ways furnish leads for her. She sees
in the newspapers that this organfza-
ton or that is preparing to hold q
convention in some distant city.
Miss Gessner looks up the connec-
tions and goes around TO see the
prospect. If somebody of some dis
tinction comes to town and an item
about it appears in the newspapers
it furnishes a lead for Miss Cess
ner, who goes around TO get the rail-
road business.
Miss Gessner is a typical woman
Of modern business affairs-good to
look upon. but not the flippant, fussy
sort; interested intensely in her
work: ready to accept the fact that
other people have rights and that il
she is TO participate in business af-
fairs she must take things as they
come; and always on the lookout for
new business for the railroad.
Miss Gessner-this for the ladies,
primarily. but il also is a message
for the men-insists on being well
dressed
Successful men have long known
that careful grooming means self
confidence" said she. The same
principle of psychology applies to
women in business. When a woman
knows she is well dressed she is
able to accomplish things she would
not dream of attempting if she were
wearing shabby clothes"

Bringing Totem Here

crude way represent whales, eagles,
ravens, bears, wolves, frogs and In
dian faces, demonstrated the inter
marriage of different families, like
the quartering in the English crests
The totem poles were erected as well
to commemorate important events Of
peace and war. Some totems may,
therefore, represent the genealogy Of
a particular family, while others rep
resent an important event in the his
tory of the tribe. All totem poles, /
may add, are regarded with a species
of semi-idolatry among the natives.
Innumerable ideas will suggest
themselves for the development of
original totem poles. II composed Of
wood, they offer an illimitable field
for hand carving. The original
Ntotems, while often crude and of
primitive workmanship, were all
hand work. The modern adaptations
may, If the craftsman is possessed
of artistic sense. have a real decora-
tive value.
In any event. the effort to repro
duce ones family tree to the likeness
of the totem will prove an infinite
source of amusement to ones family
and friends. If colored after the
manner of the Indian totems, they
will provide an effective garden orna-
ment or even a quaint architectural
feature for the country house.

located, that is, on whose lines they
are travelling day by day.
Now every railroad has cars of its
own, of course, and also use the cars
Of every other railroad. When the
cars Of one system are on the tracks
of another system charge is made
for it, and credit taken for counter
charges for the use of cars. 1t is all
very complicated. Miss Gessner had
to copy on typewriter the name of
the railroad that owned the car, the
number of the car and the time ii
was on this line or that. 1t was just
the kind of job that sets ones head
to spinning.
Chose Passenger Service.
Miss Gessner at length made up
her mind precisely what she wanted
to do and the Office to which she
wanted to be attached. She decided
that she wanted to be a passenger
representative of the system and be
in the Office of the district passenger
agent. She decided to apply for the
post.
THE Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Miss Gessner told the traffic mana
ger, was the pioneer among all the
railroads in having the first steam
trains, the first trunk lines, the first
electric motors, the first trains 10

lures which make for better opera

Gus for Miss Mabel T. Gessner. So
she got herself job Of her own crea-
ton, that Of passenger representative
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Miss Gessner is the first woman
to hold such a place in the organiza-
ton of any railroad company operat-
ing east of Chicago. In inducing the
conservative railroad officials to give
her the place she broke all prece-
dents. And incidentally, to base the
statement on testimony Of her su-
perior officers, she, is making decid-
edly good.
The job is one which the average
woman might pass over without
much consideration, regarding it as
too complicated-that Of knowing
railroads and railroad schedules and
the various odd mannerisms of the
travelling public. Yet Miss Gessner
is absorbed by It, looking upon it as
a great opportunity with still more
possibilities.
Obtains Women Passengers.
Miss Gessner's work is obtaining
passengers for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. In that regard she
is doing the same thing as large
staff of men passenger representa-
tives working not only for the Bal
timore and Ohio, but the Pennsylva-
mia, the New York Central, the Lehigh
Valley and every other line. She de-
votes herself primarily. however, to
obtaining girl and women passengers,
showing them how fine 1t would be,
when they are going to go anywhere,
to use her railroad. She is also a
personal service bureau. handing out
information about trains, reserving
accommodations when long trips are
to be undertaken and attending to
the business of a railroad passenger
agent generally.
There are a limited few who know
just what salary Miss Gessner is
getting at this time. They include
herself, President Daniel Willard
and the income tax collector. But
it may be set down that the salary is
many times $40 week, which is
what she started out with sixteen
years ago when. as a young girl she
went to work in the general offices
of the lines in Baltimore.
They put Miss Gessner to work
in the car service department. There
is nothing about a railroad which is
more routine. In the car service de-
partment 1t 10 necessary to keep a

ty department, and there she waited.
She waited and waited and waited.
She waited to the end of the war,
when the matter OF her job came up
again and the Government relin-
Quished its control Of the railroad
systems of the country. Daniel
Willard, the president of the system,
gave his approval and Miss Gessner
got the job.
She went to work December last
in Baltimore with a fairly definite
idea of how she was going to carry
out her program. One of the first
things Miss Gessner did was to go
around to some of the girls schools
in Baltimore and learn what ar
rangements they had made for going
home for the holidays. She found
some Of them had set programs. but
that a great many others had none.
She talked with them and so far as
possible showed them the advantages
Of making the journey home by her
railroad She obtained their Pull
man reservations for them and
looked up train connections and in
many other ways saw to il they
would get good service il they went
on the railroad by which she was
employed
Those girls who lived too far away,
in the West or South, to get home
for the Christmas holidays were a
problem for Miss Gessner for a
short time. Then she hit upon the
scheme of getting up a trip to Wash
ington and elsewhere, altogether a
sightseeing expedition which would
serve TO entertain the young women
as well as bring business for the
railroad.
Does Some Travelling, Too.
The whole holiday program was
successful. and Miss Gessner sue
ceeded in bringing much business to
the lines. She even went to Wash
ington herself TO show the girls
around. She made il a point not to
interpose herself as a chaperon, but
tried merely to be around in the
event that the girls needed her help,
particularly the younger girls, who
were less accustomed to travel
That is the nature of Miss Cess
ner's work. Whenever she hears
that somebody is going to make a
trip she goes around to see them and
ask them to use the Baltimore and
Ohio lines. She volunteers to make
reservations for them, not only on
her own railroad system, but also on
the connecting lines.
The tips about persons proposing
to make trips come in all manner
