Household

WOM EN WITH IDEAS. They. Have Found Success in Badness and Many Occupations. A woman living near Pittsburg, Pa., earns her dally bread by raising Persian cots and selling them for from $25 to |SOO each. She has become an expert in breeding animals of class, and frequently makes large sales to wealthy cat fandera. StSl another woman, the wife at a Pennsylvania farmer, dean on the average 1600 a year by raising pigeons. Women policemen are becoming really quite commonplace. Uniontown, Penn., boasts a fair deputy sheriff, who is a graduate of a well known Southern college for women. Loo Angeles is said to have had the Brut policewoman ever appointed in this country, and Long Beach, a seashore town in the same state, has a

Wellesley graduate, a daughter of a millionaire, on Its force. In the business world In Gotham there are two women —and maybe more —who occupy unique positions. One of them id employed 'by a number of wholesale millinery drew goods houses to entertain women buyers from different parts of the country. She entertains them at dinner and then takes them to the theatre, charging every item up on her expense account, of course, to the house employing her in each Instance. Her Individual! charge is approximately one-fourth of the total expense. The other woman makes a business of being discharged from the big store in which she is “employed” once or a dozen times a day If occasion demands. When a haughty, pompous customer complains of negligence, or impertinence, or what-not on the part of a clerk, the woman in question is summoned to the front office as the one in charge of that particular department, given a good dressing down before the angry customer and peremptorily discharged. For the men, there is a youth who acts in the same capacity. Not infrequently both of them are discharged over a dozen times in a single day. Another unique profession is that of flower doctor. In these days “milady” must have her floral decorations lust so and her corsage highly scented; therefore, it is up to human ingenuity to make perfect where nature has failed. So there are men who remove inperfect portions of delicate flowers, paste together fragile blooms and scent violets and roses that are not as fragrant as they should be. —E. R. Padgett
