The y ‘work that one does is pleasure, and ‘one makes money at something which it is really happiness to do, The open- ing Of the fields of designing, fashion work and illustration to women has been paralicied by the development of excellent schools for training along the most practical lines, and the girl with ability is sure of excellent opportu- nities the moment she is prepared to meet them. A girl should know while whe is in high school whether she ‘wishes to make her living this way, and although the schools do not de- mand high school training, it is de- sirable, as tn all other arts, to have as much general education as pos- sible for background. I would advise at least two years of art school, and if a girl begins from the bottom up, taking, for Instance, the very thorough and well-rounded course of the New York School of Applied Design for Women, three years will be necessary. This school, however, admits students who can give evidence of preliminary training to the more advanced classes with- out the preliminary work, and also allows special courses to be taken, ‘There are other excellent schools in the city, many with free classes and evening courses, offering a variety of practical training in designing and commercial art. ‘The Art Students League, in 67th Street, gives a training in drawing which cannot be surpassed anywhere, and in addition now offer courses in illustration and other practical sub- dects which are so much in demand. 1 havo heard it said by competent critics that with tho staff available at the League, any one can obtain as fine training in this country as in Paris or anywhere else, although of course one misses the atmosphere and surround- ings which have made study abroad almost indispensable if one is follow- ing the fine arts. The rates for instruction in New York art schools are remarkably reas- onable, and the living expenses of the student are by far her heaviest outlay, The students take up historic orna- ment, draw and paint from nature and originate their own designs. There are courses in fashion illustration, work, textile designing anJ other branches, and while engaged in these different courses, a girl has the opportunity to discover and develop the one which interests her most. While in art school, also, she can Ddegin to develop the other necessary qualities, ability to judge the market and the salesmanship aecessary to place her work to .the best advan- tage. Special orders come into the school from tea rooms, shops and manufacturers for all sorts of art work, including posters, signs, orna- mental boxes and labels, and sums paid for these range from $10 to $190, In addition, special subjects are as- signed in advertising, poster and magazine work, and the drawings can frequently ve sold to very good ad- vantage.

If a girl starts with only study and mo experience as a designer, she may only expect to re- ceive from $15 to $18 a week at first, promotion following automatically till she ts getting about $30; from then on, her progress depends on herself. If she has had some experience, she May start at $26 or $30 and be rapidly advanced. An income of $3,000 to $4,000 a year should soon be reached by the girl with ability, and there are designers, especially in fashion work. getting as high as $10,000 and more. Here, however, the question of per- sonality enters in to a very great de- gree. In no other work is salesman- ship so important. One must ‘‘sell’* one’s services to editors, to advertising men, to business men who seek only results, to fashion authorities who are deluged with designs. This ‘‘ped- dling’ which one must keep up even after one has become well known, js especially necessary for free lances, who must know each magazine's taste and If possible be uble to suggest new whims in their urt work before: the old are vutworn. For there is fashion in art as in clothes, and the clever illustrator originates as well as coples the current styles. I must here say a good word for the majority of editors and ...t buyers —a hurried, overworked lot who nev- ertheless usually find time for a help- ful word of comment to every begin- ner, Also, in passing, I might say T never met with any of the unpleasant experiences commonly supposed to be the tot of young artists. One of the good things about the work is the contact and acquuintance with men and women interested in che same things, who stimulate one to doing the best work possible. My own experience lies mainly with iNustrating, but tho fields of design- ing for textiles, rugs, Jewelry, em- broidery, decorative signs, grecting cards, bookplates, &c., are especially attractive and profitable. There is also the field of interior decoration, either as a profession by itself or in so far as it concerns the designer of fabrics and furniture. This pro- fession lias recently been rather swamped by women with a little capital and a taste for gay cushions. However, the inside work of an tn- terlor decorator's studio is sufficiently complex to demand a reasonable amount of preparation and at least a year’s work with a reputable firm be- fore opening one’s own establish- ment. Since many of the overnight society woman studios have vanished with business depression there is sure to be a renewed demand for trained women in this line of work. Against the fact that there is keen eompetition among the graduates of art schools as they blossom out into full-fledged designers and ‘illustrators (to say nothing of the efforts of the established artists to maintain them- selves in the face of the onslaught). one might balance the fact that one art school alone had more than 4u0 calls for designers last year, and that new industries are constantly open- ing their doors to women. The pos- sibilities of bringing more beauty into the ordinary forms of lifé are by no means exhausted, and until they are, there will always be rooth In a variety of artistic occupations for well. trained women who have creative ability and know how to use It.
