E. McClure of Chicago had adopted a somewhat novel profession for a woman. She is ? scape gardener, not a mere amateur, but a professional Zi-’ MRS. A. E. M’CLURE. who takes big contracts and has built up a reputation. Perhaps she would never have taken it up had it not been for the fact that her husband, who was a recognized authority on the work, died some six years ago, leaving his business in her hands. During his long sickness, which lasted for nearly four years, his wife helped him draw his plans and write out his lists of shrubs and plants as well as took a hand in superintend ing his workmen while they prepared the soil and did the grading and plant ing. In this way she unconsciously mas tered all the details of the business, and when it came to carrying through the work which was in progress when he died she found herself fully equal to the task. Then she concluded that she could manage the business herself. Just then she heard of a big contract which was to be given out, and without wait ing to become frightened at the pros pect of the large responsibilities which it would bring she secured it, although half a dozen men were after it. Since then she has had all the work she has been able to attend to. Not long ago she finished arranging the grounds of an in sane hospital at Newberry, Mich., and those of the Soldiers’ home at Grand Rapids. She has also done considerable work in the city parks of St. Paul and Milwaukee. Mrs. McClure is enthusiastic about her work and thinks that landscape gar dening should be taught to girl pupils in the public schools. She believes that young women would find it a much healthier and more profitable occupation than typewriting or clerking. New Luxury In Food.
