The city of Cincinnati possesses a striking' example of what can be done by woman's pluck when accompanied by practical common sense. Twelve years ago the Misses Stewart, three young women who had been reared in wealth, were by business failures thrown upon their own resources. They secured a room in a business block and established a lunch-room, where they made a specialty of home cookery. Most of tihe work they did with their own hands, and the excellence of their supplies soon created a demand. The little lunch-room became a success, and at the end of five years, wheo the great Chamber of Conimerce building was put up and there was to be a large restaurant conneeted with it, the Misses Stewart boldly applied for it. They were backed by many of the best business men of the city, who had Icnown them in their days of wealth and been impressed by their ability as business women. Their bid was accepted, the Misses Stewart assumed charg-e of the "Glencairn" lanch-room, and have conducted it without a break or a f ailure for the last seven years. The clientèle is very large. For rent and services alone the yearly expenses are $10,000. The prices charged for food are very reasonable, yet the sisters not only paid all expenses, but live in comfort and are becoming wealthy. They have never lost social position by going into business, and during their entire career have never had to bOTrtfw a dollar.
