It was the only thing I could do. When the crash came, my only hope was to hang on. I'd have mortgaged the house if necessary. "Generally," she said, speaking of her holdings, "I buy according to hunches. I don't get them often.

But when I get a hunch that runs counter to my best Judgment, I ride it. I've never lost yet on a hunch. I've often lost, however, on my broker's advice." "Most women, I think, buy on hunches, and their intuition is generally good. But nothing was good In this last crash. Hunches and intuitions and the soundest business judgment went into the discard, just because a lot of bears got control of things." a VV 1 ly I Now You Can Buy in Our Brooklyn Upstairs Shop at $1.05 Know the Joy of wearing thee faultiest that bolies their transparent dalnttntss blending exquisitely with the fieason'e newest colorlnxei BUY YOUR HOSIERY Upstair, and SAVE1 GUARANTEED PERFECT!

In her younger days she was a secretary, earning not a princely sum but enough to live on without saving.

Her father, throuirh careful Investment, made enough on the market to buy the simple home on Sterling st. Then came sickness and death. The burden of support was thrown on Miss White. To add to the difficulties she was caught in a revolving door five years and her right arm and shoulder were severly injured. Doctors said she would never again be able to write.

"Well, what could I do?" she said. "I had the choice of living on the public or llvln-r by my wits. A stenoTapher unable to write is of no use to anyone. I couldn't earn money. By the time the arm was treated to a point where mteht use it, I was well over 30; and no one wants a stenographer my a-re.

So I turned to the stock market as a means of support. "There are countless women like me. The white-collar workers simply can't make enough these days to live and save both. Any savin? they dd must come from extra efforts. The stock market is about their only opportunity.

I know any number of school teachers who consider it their only means of creating a nest Most of them were wiped out in this raid. They were In class. Their brokers couldn't get to them.
