How One Woman Managed.

A curious outcome of technical education for women was shown during the past year in the case of a man who by failure in business was reduced to poverty. He had a capable family and his daughters at once sought for situations as dressmakers and milliners In the latter trade there was no prospect of Immediate

remuneratlon, as it Is customary tor beginners to give three months of service, both spring and fall, without receiving wages. The second daughter got a place to sew In a dressmaking establishment at small wages, and the father’s offorts to make a living were hampered by his advanced years. Then the mother took a band. She had been raised on a farm and Bought and found employment tying up vegetables for market In this Industry the chief requisites are careful counting and honesty, early rising and Industry. She actually made enough money to keep the family for three months, but then she did not have to spend money to dress up to the situation, and was paid for her work at the end of each day.—Philadelphia Record.
