lu ck y e n ough to g e t tw o of h e r pictu res
accepted by th e A cadem y, told this story
of how she earned h e r first few pennies
in th is big tow n:
“ W h en I cam e here five years ago 1
had j u s t tw enty-five d o llars in m y pock
et. I g o t a room —or ra th e r a c ubby
bole n e x t to the ro o f—in a boarding
bouse on F o u rth avenue It was th ree
Weeks before I got a n y th in g to do. T hen
a p lac e w as offered to me as a prim ary
te a c h e r in a p riv ate school. T he sa lary
w hen you g o t it w as fa ir enough in
a m o u n t. B ut u n fo rtu n a te ly you d id n ’t
g e t it u n til th e end of the m onth.
“ By th is tim e th e re was such a tre
m endous hole iu m y tw enty-five d ollars
th a t I c o u ld n ’t afford to m ove up tow n.
T h e expressage alone w ould have m ade
a b a n k ru p t of m e, for 1 had absolutely
com e to su ch a pass th a t 1 h a d n ’t enough
m oney to pay m y c a r fare to the school
a n d back. I explained the situ a tio n to
tlie lan d lad y . She really w as a d e ar old
th in g . She told me 1 w asn’t to w o rry
a b o u t m y board bill. She was perfectly
w illin g to w ait for h e r m oney u n til th e
e n d of th e m onth.
“ T h a t w a s one w eight off m y m ind
of course, b u t I had still to g ra p p le w ith
th e c a r fa re problem . 1 w as in a d re a d
ful p ickle really. F o r fo u r d a y s 1
w alked every inch of th e wa y —
mi l es
each jo u rn ey . I used to leave the house
a t 7 in the m o rn in g so as to reach th e
school p rom ptly a t 9.
“ T h en I found th a t m y F ren ch heels
w ere b eginning to give o u t, so 1 saw
th a t m y efforts to save m oney by pedes-
tria n ism w ould only g et m e in to deeper
w ater. S uddenly 1 had a n inspiration.
“ T here w ere th re e old m aiden sisters
w ho occupied th e double bedded room
on tlie second floor. T hey w ere w ith
o u t exception tlie fa ttest wom en I ever
saw . T he m ost e th erial of the th ree

T hey w ere all salesw om en in one o f tlie
big S ix th avenue stores. T hey used to
sc ram b le dow n to b re a k fa st in th e m o rn

"O n e of th em confided to me th a t it
w as th e ir shoes w hich alw ays delayed
them . T hey alm ost expired every m o rn
ing in th e ir a tte m p ts to b u tto n them .
She told mo in a tone of th e u tm o st
resig n atio n th a t e v e n tu a lly she expected
th e ir shoes w ould he th e d e ath of all
th ree of them . W ell, w h a t do you su p
pose 1 did? 1 took t Hat w om an aside
a n d 1 saiil to her: ‘Now look here, I’ll
m ake a b a rg ain w ith you. I w a n t to
m ake a little e x tra m oney ju s t now , fo r
I am d re a d fu lly h a rd up. If you and
y o u r tw o sisters w ill each pay me
tw e n ty c en ts a w eek I’ll com e and b u t

“ T he poor cld th in g s fa irly ju m p e d a t
th e offer. T hey insisted on pay in g m y
first w eek's s a la ry —sixty c en ts—in a d

you see, because on S a tu rd a y th ere w as

sisted on ra isin g m y sa la ry to an even

th e ir shoes re g u la rly for tw o m onths.
T hen I had to resign m y position, a s 1
w as m oving to a b o a rd in g house up

“ W hen 1 bade th em good by th e poor
old th in g s a c tu a lly cried over m e, and
presented mo w ith tlie loveliest little
