Woman May Be Auctioneer.

Although there is no record that a woman lias ever been an auctioneer, it Is on record that in May, 1912, the then mayor of New York, Mr. Gaynor, answered an inquiry addressed to him by a woman by saying that there was nothing in the law to prevent a woman from becoming an auctioneer. Strange enough. it was a milliner who made the inquiry.
