Bill collecting is n now Job for the women of this town , sajs the Now Yoik Picss. One of them came in to sco n Broadway business man last Friday , and telling about It ho said "I bad heard that there wcic n few female collectors In New York , but 1 had never met with one. It Is a peed idea , it seems to mo. If a man had presented that bill \vould have dclajcd pujIng for a few days until I had made rny own collections. But she came at rno in such a quiet , business-llko way that I had nothing to say , and wont right up to the desk nnd chew a check for the amount. " One of thcso collector's , an attractlvo young woman , talked Ireely of her occupation. "I enjoy collecting bills vciy much , " sbo said , "I have plenty of outdoor cxerciso and the experience of meeting new people every day is pleasing. " "Aro you confined exclusively to business housesl" "O , no ; I po to the residence parts of Iho city. Thpio I have a little amusement , which I quietly enjoy. The servants meet mo at the door with silver card icceivers nnd nsk for nrv card to take up to the ladv of the house Tlili was , at first , somevvhateinDirrassing , and I resoited to business cards , but that plan did not \voik well. Woid would natur ally bo sent clown to call again I had to drop that programme , you see Now. when the servant aslcs my naino I siy no matter or something of the kind , nnd I usually get to sco the person I want to tlnd. Often the ladv of the house thinks an old fiiend has called and has asuipriso In store for her. She uishcs Into the room where I await her com- Inp with a faeebenmlnp with expectant do- llpht. Her disappointment when I iimk" known my business and present my bill Is gre.it. "Sometimes the laay , supposing that I nm nmklnp a call , sends \vord that she will bo down presently , and then sets about making elaborate preparations for her ( jucst. I have waited twenty minutes or moio in this way " "Aio jou successful nmpng business men I" "Business men neatly always pay with promptness. Occasionally I meet a 'crank , but the downtlght kickers are haul to find. " DTho fair collector said that s > lie had been accustomed to bookkeoplnp. On thtwvlnp up a situation she looked aiound for something else The oppoitunity to collect bills happen ing to present itself , she took It ns an experi ment , thinking that something bettor would follow , but sbo was delighted with her new business nnd did not mean to Icavo It. "Do jou collect old accounts ! " she was asked. "Yes. I have collected bills that hnvo been running for a long tlmo. Nearly nhvays I am pleasantly and cordially 10- folved , even in thcso cases. Seldom do I go moio than U\Ice to collect a bill , The lltm that employs mo says It Is like doing a cash business. " The Latest tn CliripcroncR , The oldest feature of London society is the pccuuiaiy compensations that cci tain of its female members \vlll accept for giving their services to "chaporono , " us they call It , for- olpners into fashionable circles , savs a London letter. Mhls nccusatloa bos lately been brought npalnst a charming American lady , who Is by marriage a British poorcss. But whether In that case the statement is true or false , it Is not the province of the wilier of the present mtlclo to Inquire , Only , under any iltcumstancos , the Instance was by no means an Isolated OHO. An aped Amor- Icnn lady told mo that once , In her own draw- ingrooni , an Englishwoman of recognized social stnndlnp announced publiclv , and without concealment or reservation , that she would undertake to Introduce any foreign lady ttho was ambitious of an entry Into London society Into the charmed nnd coveted circle for a fee of ?
