Leaving Curry's Sons Company,
Miss Knowles took up work in the
law office of Judge Jefferson B.
Browne. and was next connected
with the law office of the late
Judge w. Hunt Harris. During
all this lime she was devoting her
spare time to the study of law.
She had gained a knowledge Of
short hand and was soon suffi-
GENTLY prificient to do court re-
porting. This gave her q keener
insight into the points and prin-
ciples of law and she was not slow
20 grasp every bit of information
that she deemed would be of value
to her in her contemplated career
at the bar.
Moving with her mother to
Miami. Miss Knowles was for q
time connected with the law of
fices of Judge Bart A. Riley in
that city. Later on she estab-
lished a bureau of stenography in
Miami, which she operated inde-
pendently and with much success
until March of the present year,
when she was admitted to practice
law in Florida after standing a
rigid examination before board
of attorneys in Tallahassee, in
which she passed with high honors,
scoring second to the best grade
made by any of the numerous
other applicants examined at that
time.
The facts that Miss Knowles
simply builded the ladder by which
she has mounted round by round
from an humble beginning to q
position of prominence, and that
she 10 winning we'll merited dis

highly gratifying to her scores of

profession, and will watch her car
