SUBSTANTIAL WOMEN" OF THE UNITED STATES
TirR OMAITA SUNDAY BEE: MAY
J
Th recent multiplication of shopping
H-guldr In several of the., large New York
department (tores ibowt that this business
offers an increasingly profitable field for
women, a field, by the way, discovered by
a woman.
It was a Philadelphia department at ore
that first gave a woman a chance at the
work, not beeaasa th manager was con-
vtneed that there was money In it for the
concern or for the guide, or that such a
feature would be of any particular assist
ance to customers, but simply because ha
was a friend of the woman who asked for
thVwork. 8k was a southerner of educa
tion and reflnement, with a soft voice and
pleasing ways, and aha had no early busi
ness training to fail back on when first
confronted with the necessity of earning
her own living.
The manager could not give her a sales
woman' ' Job. could give her no job In
fact whloh aha could execute, except that
which aha haraelf proposed, so she was
taken on as shopping guide, and although
the work of shopping guide was conducted
very differently then from what It la now,
the soft-voiced southerner was successful
from Ike start.
Patriae Looked for Her.
Patrons of the store began to hunt her
up, to ask for the Invariably polite south
era woman whose taste and good judg
ment they often feur.d of aid In selecting
goods and who was always willing to give
assistance. On after another department
tores elsewhere heard of her work and
decided to adopt the Idea. .
m - Shopping made easy Is the motto of these
stores, one of which now employs twelve
shopping, guides as against three a couple
of yea s ago. One of the twelve Is a man.
It la d Jubtful If this record can be touched
by any other store anywhere. Other de
partment stores have lately Increased their
force of shopping guides from one to three.
In th store where twelve are employed
a suite of offices has recently been pro
vided solely for the guides' use. The equip
ment includes a private telephone switch
board. The shopping guide Is here to stay, says
the manager of y this store. He says also
.Jhat the tight sort Is not easy to get. He
makes it clear that to be a success In her
business a shopping guide must be the
Incarnation of patience, good temper, good
manners, good judgment and tact,
f Bhs must have good taste, a knowledge
of the requirements of a house, Including
the wardrobe of every member of the fanv
( lly. and a fertility of mind which will en
'able her to suggest alternatives. She must
understand the .art of being helpful with
out being officious or pushing.
Not a Saleswoman.
"A shopping guide Is not here to sell
goods." ' the manager explained. "Her
province Is to aasist shoppers to buy goods.
There Is a difference between the two. Hsr
role is to some extent that of hostess."
In providing so large a fore of shop
ping guides the main question considered Is
not "Can we afford ItT" but "Can we af

the manager was asked.
"Local buyers avail themselves of her
services Quite as often as strangers, al
though ' not perhaps In the same way,,"
said .a manasjor. "For. Instance Mrs.
Blank" naming , a well known woman
"cam to me one day and asked If I could
not send some one with her to one, or two
departments, some one. who could aid her
In selecting goods. That waa perhaps three
years ago. and from that day to this Mrs.
Blank seldom buys a big bill of goods with

ping guide. ,
-"Occasionally she 'phones and asks If the
guide won't coma up to he.- house for a
conference. Of course her request Is
granted. We are glad to grant It
"We have customers who rely so Implic
itly, on a shopping guide's taste and good
judgment that they simply write to her or
'phone when they want certain goods and
ask her to send them along. No, thla has
nothing whatever to do with our mall order
department.
"It rests altogether with the guide how
profitable . her position la. Bhe may be
able to work up a personal clientele which
lnavee large sums of money with us every
(year, or aha may have little or no personal
following, and naturally In the one case
her salary will be mora than In the other."

CITY ATTORNEY CONFIDENT OF WINNING
Time for Hearing of Theodore
TePael Salt A-alnst City
Bet for Friday the
Teath.
The time for the hearing of the case of
Theodore TePoel against the City of South
Omaha was set for a hearing Friday of
next week. The plaintiffs pleaded time,
saying they were not ready to proceed with
the hearing. This was the cause of con
siderable Impatience on the part of the
contractors, the engineers snd city officials,
who were ready to proceed to the hearing.
This case concerns the contracts of the
National Construction company.
Following close on the heels of the perma
nent Injunction decree Usued a few days
ago by Judge Kennedy, the Interest of the
city is turned to the hearing on the pe
tition of Theodore TePoel asking that the
contract under which George Parks, the
superintendent of construction of the Na
tional Construction company Is operating,
be set aside. The ground of the at
tack on the contract of the National Con
struction company is that it Is held illegal
to permit this portion of the work to pro
ceed until all the other parts of the work
are provided for. It Is further stated that
the contract was approved at a special meet
ing of the council and this was Irregular In
that the call was not served on all the mem
bers of the council. Again it Is alleged that
the t'nlon Stock Yards company Is about
to demand of the city the 123.000 donated to
the completion of the Mud creek main
sewer.
The defense holds that the recent
ruling of the court waa to the effuct that
any part of the- work for which there was
sufficient money could proceed, which now
holds good In the contract of Har.non A
Craig for the N street Gulch main. Harmon
& Craig were advised by Judge Kennedy
that they might proceed with that con
tract. They have been working on the
sewer for a week or more
Under the appropriations in the original
ordinance the Mud creek sewer was to have
cost 1140,000. The present contract calls for
tlffi,17VS9. The Jetter creek sewer waa to
cost 10,000, but the present contract Is for
te.ooo. The north branch of the N Btreet
gulch was to havo cost 112.000. but was let
for $1T,!28 97. The Highland park sewer waa
to have cost 110.000, but was let at tU.021.9s.

PLAYED POKER WITH PRINCE
How a Texan Gave Albert Rdward a
Shock aad a Ran for Ills
Money.
"Did you ever play poker with a prince
of Wales?" asked Colonel Tom Hopklna of
Texas, ' now promoting gold mines, and
formerly a buccaneer In Wail street, aa he
sat over a hlgftball In the grillroom of the
Breslln.
Strange as It may aeem, not one of his
companions had even enjoyed that rare
but expensive luxury.
"I have," continued the colonel, medita
tively. "I sat in a game with King Ed
ward when he was entitled to only the
three ostrich plumes and the Ich Dien'
motto. It was at a house party not far
from London, and I am willing to 'confess
that it waa not a pleasing game at all In
the early stsges.
"It was during those delightful days
when our government was represented by
Schenck, a past master In the art of poker,
and one of the first men to properly hedge
In the game with rules and laws. Some
of the best poker literature we possess has
been written by Schenck, and the popular

of Wales Into the beauty of poker, and Al
bert Edward soon became quite fond ef the
game. It was Schenck who Introduced me
to the prince and made It possible for ma
to meet his royal highness at one of the
most noble old manors In one of the pret
tiest counties In all England. It wasn't so
hard for an American to meet the prince
of Wales then as It Is to meet King Ed
ward now, and I found him a pleasant, un
affected man at first, but afterward learned
he had his peculiarities.
"The first game took place one evening
after the men had been shooting all day,
and a very pretty party of five waa made
up. We eat down In the. smoking room
and, so far as I could see, the arrange
ments varied but little from those made In
this country for a session with cards and
chips.
"Before the game began Schenck took me
to one side and Impressed me with the ne
cessity of observing the many rules of
etlquet that obtain when playing with the
prince. He laid particular stress upon
the fact that I was not to raise unless Al
bert Edward bad raised and showed a. dis
position to stay. Even In that case It
was regarded as proper to simply see his
raise and allow him to take the bridge and
set the course. There were other nrtnor
regulations to be observed, but that one
In particular was Impressed upon me.
"I stuck to that rule for four hours and
It cost me money. I laid down many a
strong hand just because I did not want to
be regarded as lacking In courtesy to the
prince, but finally I got tired of seeing
whole bundles of good American money
going across the table, and my sporting
blood was aroused. I began to whinny like
a horse every time my stack was punctured.
It hurt me to see my blue and red bits of
Ivory going across the batse to the first
gentleman In England, and I felt that,
while the privilege of playing with the
prince of Wales was worth a great deal,
I did not care to pay for It in that way.
"It waa while I was in this mood I picked

be true. Four kings nestled together by
themselves, crowding a poor, weak, little
trey. I looked over the hand carefully and
then announced I would stand pat.
"Now, as you know, a man with four ef
a kind usually discards the odd one. Why
this Is done I don't know. It may convey
the Impression that you have two pair, but
the mlrujto you begin to grow strong In
your betting, everybody knows just what
Is lurking in your hand. By standing pat I
fooled them Into thinking I had either a
flush or a straight and left It up to them to
decide.
"The prince was unlucky enough to get a
full house In the draw and another player
filled a flush. Of course, such a run as that
made for a killing, and. In an ordinary
game, unhampered by the presence of a
prince and heir apparent the betting would
be lively.
"When I started In placing my chips on
the table I forgot all about the rules of
etlquet. The prince made a tentative raise
of a pound, Just feeling out my hand, as
it were. Of course, It waa expected that
I would aee the bet, but I gave It a slight
raise of I, and the man with the flush
stayed In. The prince also got In for t
and raised, and when it came my wsf
I lifted It 20.
"Well, It's a terrible story. The prince
tried to Intimate to me by dark looks and
other evidences of discontent that he was
not pleased with my methods, but it waa a
table stakes game and he couldn't easily
get away without showing a trace of the
white feather, and when, after another
raise, 1t came my way again, I made It

minute that I had made a bad break. The
prince really took it better than the others,
for they looked frightened and hurt Ha
was a bit vexed, but when the game wtl
over he shook hands and expressed himself
as greatly pleased with the run I had given
him." New York Telegraph.
