Th supply of expert typewriters In New

of the demand. Tet expert stenographers
and typewriters can easily command sal
aries of from $30 to $60 a week, so wonder
fully has this field of work broadened slnot
th pretty typewriter of ten or fifteen years
ago stepped into business offices and routed

Th work has gradually taken the place
of th teacher's position which used to be
th goal of many a girl. Commercial
schools are filled with pupils In stenography
and typewriting, while in some offices ap
prentice girls pay as much aa $2G0 for th
privilege of learning the technicalities of
th trade.
But, as In so many other fields of labor,
th great complaint of Inefficient work goes
up from the downtown offices and the up
town shops. Great corporations, banks,
large estates and business interests of many
kinds are unable to get first-class workers
In this field.

aspires to have her own office and employ
girl clerks. Within the last ten years hun
dreds of these offices have sprung up
throughout the city and each seems tc
prosper.
A meeting of financiers took place In a
Fifth avenue hotel a few weeks ago and
the services of an expert stenographer were
required. The hotel stenographer was not
deemed competent for the task and a tele
phone message was sent to the office of one
of the largest of the typewriting manu
facturing concerns.
The name of a young woman whose offlc
Is in te neighborhood of Fifth avenue was
sent over the telephone to the waiting mil
lionaires, but when the young woman was
told that she would be required to leave
her own office she answered that It would
be impossible, as she had to attend to hei
own work.
A Fancy Fee.
A fee was offered her so large that It
caused her to accept. She had carte blanchp
as to bringing her own machines and an
assistant If necessary. A cab was sent for
her, and In an hour she was Installed In
one of the state apartments taking rapid
notes.
She was not the typlccally beautiful and
blond-haired stenographer of fiction, bu.
a very businesslike and plainly gowned
girl, who was complete master of the work
assigned to her. The bankers and railroad
magnates were simply dumbfounded with
the ease and clearness with which h
understood and almost anticipated her task
which when submitted in manuscript
proved to be a work of art in its perfection
of form, clearness and neatness af execu
tion. For two days the young woman worked
for'a fee written In three figures each day,
and then she declared with regret that sh
would have to send one of her clerks, a:
her own office work was In need of atten
tion. The fee was doubled in order to re
tain her services.
When her week's work was conclude
two offers of employment at $100 a wee!
were made to her. But she refused ant
went back to her own business venture
which she fancied gave her wore lnde

The trouble with th beginners In stc
nography, and with many of the clerks wli
keep their places chiefly because of thi
smallness of their salaries, sec-ms to II
In th fact that they lack general Intelll
gene, although In many cases they ar
well versed in Ui technical part of th
work.

ar not so serious as bad spelling, the Im
proper placing of capital leetters, deficient
or profuse punctuation and the writing of
proper names with small letters. All of
these mistakes are found in the work of
many of the young women clerks who
offer themselves confidently to business
houses.
The meaning of ordinary words Is abso
lutely unknown to soma of thee girls,
who think they can be entrusted with
affairs of a large business house. Careless
work is not so much the fault as an en
tire absence of information about ' rules
that every public school pupil ought to
know before passing out of th primary
department.
"I find it absolutely Impossible to obtain
even fairly competent help," said one of
the woman partners In a successful New
York office, where general publlo work is
done.
"I pay my girl $10 and $12 per week, and
I would gladly pay more if I could ob
tain help that warranted larger salaries,
but the results are very trying.
"Even the very ordinary work of en
velope addressing Is bungled by young
wonen apparently Intelligent and con
scientious. . Certainly modern education
does not fit girls for business life, and It
Is hard to Imagine what a young woman
who at 20 cannt address an envelope prop
erly would excel at.
"When we try to employ expert help we
find that girls who can command $20 a
week or more prefer to hold positions In
private offices. The Imperfect work done
- .v, ciiim to have three or four
years experience with the typewriter is
...o ot uie trials of running one's own es
tablishment. The Standoff.
"Another dreadful trial to th stenog
rapher who branches out as . proprietor
is the slowness of many firms and indi
viduals In paying bllln. J find on Inquiry
that this doe not apply to the work of
tenngrnphera alone, but to all profeesfons
n which women work for a living.
"Dressmakers and seamstresses are kept
months waiting for their money, and even
servants are left unpaid for a year In
some cases. But In our line of work It Is
esptclally trying.
"We ran ask no deposit, for the reason
'hat It Is not thu custom to do so. W put
In our own material and time, and If we
dare to ask for payment on delivery of
work w are told that th work must be
looked over.
"Then we ar kept waiting frequently
weeks and months, and in some cases year,
without payment. The firms that treat us
in this shabby manner would not dare to
net this way to their men creditors, but for
'he reason that we are women they fancy
they can act In this unjust manner. .
"And It Is quite true that they can do ao,
unless we keep a collector employed or hlr
a lawyer. A woman cannot very well man
age to call at office and demand payment
of a bill, for the sort of person that will
refuse to pay is quit apt to act rudely.,
knowing that a woman cannot retaliate.

law to help women workers In this respect.
In our profession It is a matter which is a
constant thorn In the flesh. This one item,
taken In connection witl the incompetent
help which we have to put up with, makes
the first few years of the stenography office
very hard and discouraging.
"A young woman who has a good place
as head stenographer with a large house,
or who finds herself happily situated in
soma of the offices downtown where th
hours are short and association pleasant,
and who commands a salary of $40 or $.00
a week. Is foolish to take up the responsi
bility of an establishment or her own.
"Sh at once takes on a vast load of work
looking after the typewriting which goes
out from her new office. Frequently she
will have to sit up far Into the morning
correcting work done by her employees.
"She will have trouble In getting her
money when work Is done and she has all
th burden of maintaining an expensive
office, for offices In good buildings command
high rents and call for proper fittings.
Work Not I'p to the Mark.
"The stenographers employed In hotels
are usually experts and they receive excel
lent pay and in some cases they get their
rooms and board as well. They charge
more than w do, in proportion, as their
work Is largely letter writing. Plana,
specifications or other Important documents
rarely go to the hotel stenographer for
typing.
"But the general standard of work Is not
up to the mark, and one of the reasons for
this Is that so many of the offices take In
pupils in typewriting who ray for the priv
ilege of practice.
"These girls are discharged to make room
for others, and half the time they have
only mastered the rudiments of the work.
Indeed, In many cases, they would require
to go back to school for an ordinary educa
tion. "The supply of poor typists is inordinately
large and the good ones are remarkably
scarce. A flrst-clnas stenographer will un
derstand several different forms, those for
medical, legal, theatrical and literary work.
She will, In many cases, be able to trans
late In on or two languages and take
dictation in French or German.
"She is a confidential clerk, and the se
crets of her employer's business must be
hers. She Is required to dress well, asd
she must be rneerful and obliging as well
as extremely businesslike.
"But ther ar too many very young
girls taking up the work and seeking placea
which they are not fitted to All. Ther ar
also certain flrma and persons who will
persist In searching after low salaried em
ployes In this Held, under the Impression
that they can get as good work for a small
amount as for a decent salary.
"But this Idea Is fur more erroneous In
this profession than In any other. A good
expert stenographer and typewriter knows
quite well that she ran command a good
salary and that there are plenty of places
waiting tor Intelligent and businesslike ,

girls who can take care of Important corre
spondence. "The old Impression that used to prevail
as to the frivolous qualities of the type
writer clerk has died a natural death. The
work Is better done by women who under
stand It than It ever was by men, even In
the task of law reporting. But the women
who command big salaries are entirely

JOHN CHINAMAN AT HIS EASE
Shanghai View of the Celestial When
He Casts Off the Caves of the
World,
With the summer weather the Chinaman
comes before us prominent In his artistic
silks and In his native nakedness. His
temperament- also becomes a noticeable
feature to the observant foreigner and the
manner in which he takes his pleasure
contrasts marvelously with that of th
energetlo occidental human being.
In th early days of the morning, whsn
the rays of Old Sol ar tempered with th
dissipating dews of night, th wealthy na
tive, as well as the worker of low degree,
may be seen carrying the cage containing
hla favorite singing bird to the native gar
dens or other tree-embowered spot and
listening in contemplative ecstacy to the
joyous greeting which his caged friend
pours forth to the coming glory of th day.
As soon as the golden beams become op
pressive he retires to his domicile, whether
to labor or sleep 'tis hard to tell. In any
case, he Is wise, for has he not caught the
beauty of the grandest part of a summer's
day, the majesty of dawn? Again, when
sunset's glow has fallen dead in th west,
the Chinaman pours forth to his diversion.
To stand for hours with waving fan on th
curb of our city's thoroughfares watching
the procession of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic brings him apparently the delight
which a Londoner can obtain from a lorC
mayor's show, dally repeated, whll a vol
unteer parade brings him forth In number
proportionate to th metropolis' myriads
called out by a royal pageant.
Thus, in dignified, contemplative manner
does the Chlr-man display his idlosyncracy
of pleasure-taking. Again th natlv of
younger blood. Imbued with a ting of for
eign taste, rushes madly through th
streets on th whirring wheel or drives,
luxuriously reclining In his smartly ap
pointed carriage, behind th fastest trot
ting pony, steered by a reckless natlv
jehu which his means ar able to procure.
The visitor to th various public resorts
of the Chinese In the settlements will In
variably gain a" Interesting Insight Into th
Chinaman and Ha pleasure-taking, and on
striking feature cannot pas unnoticed.
Whether coolie, merchant, office boy or

gest rake among the Chinamen of our set
tlements. Drunkenness Is a vice which is
usually kept within doors, as are all other
reprehensible practices.
Quarreling is almost an unknown thing In
public resorts. Never does one witness any
thing approaching the college student of
Europe on the rampage, or 'Arry and 'Ar
rlet on a bank 'oliday tear. The Chinaman
takes his pleasure as he takes his business,
with a calm, calculating philosophy, which
constitutes one of his greatest variations
from th habit of mind of th vivacious

The death of John Stack, for nearly half
