Sigsbee, the schoolgirl daughter of Captain Sigsbee, has a turn both for the artistic and the literary. For some time past her illustrated stories have appeared regularly in a well-known Washington journal and have won the author-artist considerable credit, as well as a substantial increase in pocket money. In commonhvith her two sisters, May Sigsbee enjoys an allowance from her father, but because of her success with pen and pencil she is looked upon as the wealthy member of the family. This dosen’t hinder her, however, from continually overdrawing her al- lowance—just like other girls. Not long ago,. when she approached her father and told him that, although the month wasn’t half up, she was bank- rupt, he charged her with extrava- games. “You don’t take care of your money as you“ should,” he said. “Why, only the other day I heard of your taking a lot of your schoolmates and treating them to $5 worth of candy.” "That’s very true, papa,” was the answer, “but you know a girl must sow her wild oats some time.” There; was a prize offered by one of the New York art schools this Winter, forwhichlliiss Sigsbee, with a number of her friends, decided to compete. The other girls, however, declared that they would not enter if May sent in her work signed with her name. “Your newspaper sketches have made you known,” they said. “and you’ll stand twice as good chance of winning.” "All right, ” said May, “I’ll sign them x,” which she did, but “X” took the prize. Miss Sigsbee’s first contribu- tions to the IVashington Journal were sentby. mail. Even after she had be- conical regularly salaried member of the staff she still posted both the stories and sketches. One day, when several months of Steady work had begun to make her feel like an old contributor, she went down to the office. The editor was surprised at seeing a young girl in short skirts and with braids down her back, and when the customary weekly check arrived the young girl found that this surprise had taken the form of a reduction in her salary. Then Miss Sigsbee paid the office another visit. "If my work isn’t worth what you thought it was before you knewI wore short skirts and braids down my back,” she said, "It isn’t worth anything, and I’ll give it up al- together.” ' I The editor assured her that, short skirt or long skirts her work was want- ed, and at her owu rates. He was as good as his, word, for the next check was a "raise” upon the. original salary. M fiatyflée tailgate. ————-——~———<o-o>—- U'arien and N oroton.
