Dexie thinks she has made the wisest choice in accepting Guy Traverse and marrying for love, but she has yet to face the question--Is mutual love alone essential to secure a happy married life? or in the language of the world:
"Does it pay to marry for love alone?"
ABOUT SHORTHAND!
The need of a simpler and swifter mode of writing is felt by all who have much writing to do--by newspaper men, by legal gentlemen, by clergymen, by students in taking cla.s.s lectures and making notes of many things valuable for future "refreshment," authors and scientific men in recording important facts.
Amanuenses are in demand as corresponding clerks and secretaries in all important mercantile and literary offices, at salaries much higher than is paid in any similar employment. Indeed, many of the leading business and professional men owe their prosperity to their knowledge of Shorthand and Typewriting.
If a young man or woman desires a business or profession, light, pleasant, what is more congenial than stenography? Other occupations are crowded, and the income for years is small. But stenography, on the other hand, is an opening through which one can enter any business or profession with rewards equal to ability and capacity.
Which System?
There are a dozen or more different systems of shorthand. Each one is best to somebody. Which is best for you? Eleven are hard to learn, and harder to practise; who will learn them? One is simple and easy--children learn it.
The one is
Simple Shorthand
best, because simplest, easiest, quickest learned, most legible of all, and fully answers every purpose for which shorthand is desired.
Shorthand must be learned quickly, or most people cannot afford the time.
There has never been a satisfactory system till now. Previous systems have been too complicated, and people get an idea that shorthand is very difficult--it is not. Simple Shorthand is not.
Simple Shorthand excels the difficult systems in all their good points, and seems to have none of their faults. Therefore I cannot be too exact in describing it. The several advantages are:
No shading, no positions, no arbitrary characters, and the vowels are written in their natural order without lifting the pencil; as in longhand, no depending upon "context."
If you could learn the Pitman system (100 words a minute) in six months, you could easier learn Simple Shorthand in three months. Our scholars learn Simple Shorthand in a week, then use it writing up their book-keeping. It saves more than half their time.
You can learn shorthand by mail just as well. I guarantee success in every case, or return the money. I send lessons, instructions, criticise and correct all exercises, until you can write 100 words a minute, for $10, payable at beginning.
Lesson free, write for it.
