WOMEN IN NEW WORK

OCCUPATIONS FOR THE ENERGETIC AND RESOURCEFUL ONLY.

A New England Woman Make* and Sella Wine and Cordial*—A Brooklyn Woman Makes Bread For a LITISI, and Another Bans a Bicycle Repair Shop.

[Copyright, 1897, by the Author.]

Elderberry wine is an old fashioned cordial out of which a New England woman is making a comfortable addition to her income. The story of Mrs. Serena Eliot is the story of many another energetic, resourceful Yankee. Left a widow with one delicate girl in

MRS. SERENA ELIOT.

a "shoe town" abont 20 miles out of Boston, Mrs. Eliot has turned her hand to anything by which an honest dollar can be made in a small place without capital—dressmaking, nursing, running a machine in the "stitchroom" of a shoe factory, serving as cashier in the village fish market, etc.

The cordial making was undertaken in the first place out of neighborly kindness. A patient whom Mrs. Eliot was nursing during one of the long periods when tho shoeshop was "shut down" needed a gentle stimulant. Any of the ordinary wines was impossible because of heart trouble. The nurse raked out of her kitchen closet a book of family recipes used by her mother and grandmother before her and sent the children of the neighborhood out to pick elderberriea The simple, homemade cordial, as innocent as new cider, tickled the palate of the sick man. Some extra bottles were given to other invalids, and the famo of Mrs. Eliot's elderberry wine sproad through the village.

There was no money in this or, exoept to a woman of unusual "faculty," any suggestion that there might be, but when requests for the wine began to come from a distance Mrs. Eliot laid her plans. It was too late to do anything moro that autumn, but the next year when elderberries were ripe she had children gathering the fruit for her for miles around. The berries were easily picked and of no market value, so they cost her littlo. She could not afford to lay aside other work for such an uncertain experiment, and the winemaking went on in tho morning and evening. She bought wild blackberries and wild grapes as well as elderberries. Currants she had in her garden. The result of two mouths' hard work was a stock of blackberry, currant and elderberry wUies, grape and blackberry jams and grape, currant and blackberry jellies,

Mrs. Eliot's reputation as a nurse helped her to a small market for her wines and jollies. Her acquaintance in the shoeshops made it possible to sell jams and jellies to women who wore too busy to make them for themselves. Her homemade "preserves" and cordials were plaeed on sale in the grocery stores and after a timo in stores in nearby towns. Thero were a few summer boarders to bo reached. Tho elements of profit, taken separately, were small, yet together they were not to be despised.

Business the second year showed a substantial increase. Cherries were added to the stock and wild raspberries. Orango and lemon jollies found sale as sickroom delicacies, and the distinctly old tiiuo cordials were re-enforced by goosoberry wine. Mrs. Eliot's daughter was ablo to help with tho work, and littlo by little from being aside issue it became tho mainstay of the fatnily. This season is the fourth of the undertaking. There is no promise of a fortune. Prices have to remain low to suit the purses of customers, and the field is limited.

The cordial making is the unique feature of the business, and, while it is not the principal source of profit, it gives Mrs. Eliot a reputation and helps her jams and jellies to compete in a small way with the factory canned articles. Her success—for it is a real success—is interesting chiefly as an illustration of the fact that simple, homely ways of turning a penny are sometimesmore effective than ambitious schemes, the invention of which has cost much brain thrashing.

Another illustration of the same fact is found in the experience of a Brooklyn woman who was thrown on her own resources with no other outlook toward independence than that afforded by gift for hreadniaking. The breadmakiM lacked the vital energy of the Knglander and would not have though' of turning her one accomplishment practical use but for the initiative t&kei by three or four friends who ash ti he* to bake for them. They paid her ttio ordinary bakery prices and took pains t* recommend the bread to acquaintances

The neighborhood was unusually fa rotable. It included a Dumber of facn lies drawn together by aid {Headship well as one of those clubs that hav become social features in Brooklyn, talk ing in all the residents on a given block This solidarity made it comparatively may to introduce the bread, jMhtane.

After three months the chief difficulty was the lack of oven facilities. Ths range of a small flat is not calculated to turn out work by wholesale. This trouble was partly overcome by the purchase of a large gas range. By dint of burning two fires the output was materially increased, but long hours and hard work were involved, especially at the week's end, to keep np with the Saturday and Sunday demand.

Certain delicate biscuit and rolls were particularly successful. So was Boston brown bread and Italian fig bread. Two little girls have been kept at school for some years on the proceeds of this modest enterprise, the only advertisement of which is a muscular small boy who pushes a handcart with a warm and fragrant load through the streets-of a quiet up town mornings and evenings.

Mrs. B. C. Miller keeps a bicycle repair shop on upper Broadway, Brook lyn. So far as heard from she is the on ly woman in Greater New York who is chasing the nimble dollar in this business. Her qualifications are a certain common sense in practical matters and a handiness with tools

Mrs. Miller rides a wheel and takes four children out on the road with her. Five bicycles are almost enough to keep a repair shop going, but Mrs. Miller does not depend on the punctures and bent spokes of her own household. She says that from childhood she has enjoyed tinkering things, and that clocks and other objects have suffered from her desire to "see the wheels go round." But the bicycle gave her the chance of a lifetime Here were wheels worth seeing. She took care of her own from the beginning, tended it faithfully with oil and graphite and was never tired of rubbing up her handle bars. Yet she was glad when a squeak developed or a pedal refused to spin, for then she could unbuckle her tool bag and pry into the bearings. When her husband entered the business she is now carrying on, she made it her business to watch him and his men, and one day, when a wheel with a punctured tire was brought into the shop in his absence she set to work and turned out a neat job of repairing.

From this time Mrs. Miller made the workshop her headquartera She learned to take a bicycle apart or put one together. She became able to make handle bars, braze the junctions of tubing or lace a wheel. To lace a wheel is to put in the spokes and not to run the cords of the skirt guard, as might be imagined. Given the manufactured parts, she could assemble them and turn out a good bicycle. This apprenticeship proved its value when she opened a repair shop on her own account, and the venture has been successful. Mrs. Miller is to be found in the workshop oft&frer than behind the counter. She takes into her own hands the most delicate and difficult pieces of repairing.

Mra Miller is a slender woman, al most fragile in appearance. She has blue eyes and light brown hair. She looks out of her element working away at afoot pump or doctoring a sick pedal, but it is evident that she finds her work likable. In answer to inquiries she said: "I thoroughly enjoy what I am doing. One reason is the novelty of the occupation another is my enthusiasm for the wheel. Every bicyclist is a

crank about bicycling, and I am no exception. I like to ride a wheel and to work among wheels."

Mrs. Miller does not ride double or triple centuriea She has never tried a diamond frame. She wears a moderately short skirt and rides without a chain guard in order to reduoe weight and facilitate cleaning.

ITHE NEW WOMAN.

SMMBRSI W-tddle Abont Taxing Bachelors and Forcing Them Into Matrimony.

Again some one has started up that foolish and dreary old talk of putting a tax on single men, to force them to take as wives some of the girls who are supposed to be waiting to drop at their feet and thank them for it. A more degrad ing and demoralizing idea of woman hood was never imagined than that which the arguments of the advocates of a bachelor tax would imply. The true ideal of womanhood is that a girl should hold herself as a person to be won, and that not too easily. There is nothing more repulsive to one who has the best interests of women at heart than the thought of a woman watching, waiting, planning to catch a man off his guard and induce him in a moment of weakness to marry her. The eagerness, the waiting and the planning should be on the man's side, not the woman's. Nature meant and made it so. When the plan is reversed and women lie in wait for men to trap them into matrimony, it can arouse only disgust in the mind of man. If men prefer a single life and the enjoyment of selfish bachelor luxuries, it is because no woman has as yet touched their hearts in the right way, and that is not their fault either, but plainly the fault of women themselves. If women were what they might be and ought to be, they would not have to go gunning for husbands, dragging them in by the ears unwilling and holding them fast till the marriage ceremony was over. The husband who had been taxed or trapped into marrying could not do otherwise than despise ever after the woman who had thus trapped him. Let the men go their own way, to marry or not to marry at their own sweet will. If women were as really attractive, as self helpful, as they might be, they could get husbands fast enough—that is, if get ting a husband was the chief end and aim of a woman's existence, which it is not quite the contrary. If there were half as many marriages as there are, such as they are, and half as many children born, such as they are, the „race would be better off. What women want now—all women—is to become independent and capable of earning a good living for themselves without reference to men one way or the other. There is no more wicked or degraded woman than she who sells herself for a home and support, even though it be under function of a marriage ceremony.

There is one bread winning occupation which women have not yet entered to any extent. It ought therefore to be comparatively easy for them to gain foothold in its field. It is advertising writing. This has now become an art in itself. There is ten times as much advertising as there was a few years ago. The old stereotyped wordings will not do. There must be learning, wit, wide knowledge, skill and wisdom in the advertisement of today. A great merchant whose wares are not at all exceptionally cheap or good has distanced his competitors. and built up a tremendous trade simply because he was fortunate enough to secure a man who knew how to write advertisements. The writer in this case receives very large pay. Girls who want to be journalists, unless they have a real genius for some particular form of newspaper work, would have a much better chance if they turned their talents to the soliciting and writing of advertisements. The field lies all around. Any girl in a village where a newspaper is published can try her hand. There is also now a school of advertising where the intricacies of the art of writing ads. may be mastered by correspondence.

Good American Manners*

It was in the elevator of the Hotel Continental in Paris—one of those slow going machines in whjch this noted hotel delights. Four or five persons were in the car besides the operator, who had waxed fat in his laborious occupation of pulling on the rope. One of the company was fresh from the Ecole des Beaux Arts, where, indeed, his whole time was employed when not engaged in the necessary relaxation at Versailles, in the Bois, at the cafe or in other restful places of the world's capital. His companion was not of this description. Among the others were a lady and gentleman, to the former of whom the two Americans had removed their hats. But the gentleman with her made no motion to remove his, but regarded the oompany with a studied indifference. "Oh," said one of the Americans, "it does not appear to be necessary to remove one's hat here," and thereupon he olapped his on his head. The lady and gentleman getting out at the next floor, the elevator guard politely informed the remainder of the company that they were the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the latter being own sister to the then imperial autocrat of all the Bussias, as I believe it was„atated. —Architecture .and Building.
