A Business That Pays.
Women are, as a rule, most success-
ful in decorative work, and it is s
matter for astonishment that compar-
atively few have so far gone in for
this branch of money making.
There are numbers of girls with
powers of discrimination wbo might
pick up curios and antiques at a rea-
sonable price, though, of course, even
in the depths of the country, the sup-
ply has been steadily declining for
years.
Not alone that, but cottage owners
of old china and oak have become
more wary, and articles of what Mrs.
Malaprop termed "bigotry and virtue"
are not to be bought up for a mere
aong.
Still, there la a good field for the
woman collector. In furnishing and
decorative work feminine ideas are
hardly to be surpassed, and many a
"house beautiful” owes its beauty to
the artistic faculty of a woman.--
