TWO BRIGHT COLLEGE GIRLS
They Start a Flrst-Claaa Lanndry and
Achieve Success.
The laundry business Is a new occupa
tion for college women, but two Smith
College girls who were not attracted by
the overcrowded profession of teaching
have been putting their minds to the task
for more than a year, with successful re
sults. The project at first was looked upon
with disfavor by some of their more con
ventional friends. "We should think you
would prefer," they said, "an occupation
that required brainwork." Before they
had progressed very far they were able to
assure such friends that laundry work
required every bit of brains at their com
mand. In a recent letter to the Smith College
Magazine they tell something of the diffi
culties with which they met. They were
determined that this laundry should be
conducted on the best principles, do its
work as well as possible, under conditions
first base.
as nearly perfect as they could be made,
' In attaining these ends the two girls felt
, that they would be achieving a result
quite as worthy of their college diploma
as teaching small boys and girls grammar
and the rule of three.
The young women set about their experi
ment In a scientific manner. They visited
personally, or through well-qualified rep-
t resentatlves, over 100 laundries, chiefly in
! Boston. They did not Intend to go Into

retlcal knowledge of the appliances needed
and of the most approved way of con
ducting the business. They discovered
that many laundries are hampered by lack
of a suitable building, and. after a vain
search around and about Boston for some
building already erected that would ap
proximate their Ideal, at least, they hap
pened to find a very desirable lot, bought
it, planned a simple structure and had
their model laundry built and ready for
use In a very short time.
At first customers looked askance at
this new venture. They were afraid that
book learning and an expert knowledge of
soapsuds and bluing would not go to
gether. Sanitary conditions for workers
were all very well. It was pleasant
enough to visit the laundry and find the
main room well ventilated and without
the strain that makes washing day a
bugbear. It was comforting to know that
acids and powders were tabooed in fact
as well as In fiction, but how would the
washing be done? That was the question.
The two girls, however, had found as an
adviser a man with large experience In

with their hopes of reform, and only
made suggestions here and there where
their ignorance of conditions made their
plans unttnable. Customers who came
once came again and recommended others.
The clothes were Invariably done well, and
by the end of the first year the laundry
has justified all hopes by paying for Itself.
Among other advantages suggested by
these two ardent exponents of laundry
work Is the.fact that they are supplying
a necessity and not a luxury, so that a
rise or fall In stocks or great financial
depression does not materially affect their
trade. Their work makes no difference
In their social position, and what might
be urged as an objection to the work they
forestall by saying:
"All business life furnishes some human
contact, agreeable or otherwise, and we
gladly testify that among a variety of ex
periences, one of the pleasantest features
of our work has been the Introduction to
many delightful people, both patron3 and
employes, whom it is a pleasure and in
spiration to know."
"DEAD MAN'S HAND."
Orlela of Term Explained by One
Who Knows.
A correspondent of the New Tork Sun
explains the meaning of the term "Dead
Man's Hand" In poker, by saying that it
is tens and treys, and got Its name
because they won when the man that
held them was dead.
Many years ago a party of planters and
cowmen had a sitting on one of the boats
plying up and down the Mississippi. Among
them was a young fellow whose mother
had sent him to New Orleans to bring
back a large sum of money with which
to pay oft a mortgage on the homestead.
He may be called Smith.
Bad luck and bad whisky very soon
knocked a hole in his wad bigger than
a pound of dry wool. Along In the night
some one opened a fat. juicy pot for the
"downs." and every one stayed. It being
Smith's last say he did the usual elevat
ing, and every one stayed again. This
effort took about half of what was left
of the original sum. We then drew cards.
The opener drew three. The next two
drew two each and the last three drew
one each. Smith was included in the
one-card draw. The opener then bet, and
Smith promptly raised with all the money
he had left.
As he was a rank bluffer the other play
ers sized him up pretty close, and he was
called by the opener, one of the two-card
men, .and two of the one-card men. He
now stood to win about twice as much
as he had originally. If he lost, he
might as well shoot himself, for he could
never face his mother without the money
for the mortgage. After the last bet he
laid his cards face down on the table in
front of him, and bent over on the table
with his head resting on hlsa rms.
The opener didn't help his pair, another
player made a pair of aces by drawing to
a four-flush, a third had two pair sevens
and fives, and the fourth had a pair of
kings and an ace kicker. As Smith did
not answer when asked to show his hand,
and as he was supposed to have fallen
asleep, a man named Halpln turned his
cards over, and showed a pair of te:i9 and
a pair of threes, which, being the big
hand, entitled Smith to the pot. Alter
vainly trying to rouse him, ono of the
players, a doctor, raised his head, and.

looking long and carefully, pronounced
him dead of heart disease. The money
was sent to his mother and Smith finished
his trip as freight.
Since then tens and treys have been
called the dead man's hand, and It Is a
hand that Is rarely beaten in draw
poker. Aces and eights are called the
gambler's hand, and is popularly supposed
to be Invincible.
Senseless Superstition.
"T drew a tooth for a wee mite of a girl
yesterday," said the dentist to a 'Wash
ington Post reporter. "It was one of her
first teeth, and It wasn't much larger than
a plnhead. I dropped It, quite by acci
dent, and then I had to go down on all
fours and look for that tooth. The mother
wanted It. When I'd found It and given
It to her, she asked me if there were any
rat holes anywhere In the house. I told
her there might be a few In the cellar,
and, being a trifle put out, I said sar
castically that if she wanted to look I'd
be pleased to take her down there. She
said she wanted so much to find a iat
hole, and would I please take her down?
We went down to the cellar and prowled
around till we found a hole I said was a
rat hole. She stooped down and dropped
the child's tooth Into It.
" 'There!' she said, 'I've put Marjory's
first tooth into a rat hole, and now her
second teeth will toe sure to be white and
strong as rats' teeth. Thank you so
much!'
"It was a new superstition to me, but
she seemed to take great stock in It.
Anyway, it was a good way to get rid of
the tooth, and a great deal less danger
ous than the way some mothers have of
swallowing the first teeth their children
lose."
