soul with envy she is one of those brave footloose and fancyfree women who work their way around the world once since she left mississippi womans state college she has gone around the world by way of the pan ama canal and another time she also tried the siberian outc and tho next time she wants to go around the horn with a stop off at kaster island where the monoliths are and where you cant set foot without permission from the chilean government heres her own story as told to a new york newspaper woman there was no travelling at all in my family we were born on a mis sissippi cotton plantation i had ne ver been out o the state until 1 was graduated from college never slept world i on a train over night but id always kept maps around and two weeks after commencement set off for washington bc luckily i had taken the civil service examin ation you see 1 meant to be an ar tist until i found that artists always seem to stay poor and i didnt want to stay poor well anyway the civil service inspiration got me a job in the war department and i had also had the forethought to learn short hand and typewriting in washington i took a map and picked out the farthest away place in the united states it was seattle washington so i went there or ra ther at my request the government sent me there and then after i got there uncle sam decided to econom ize and i being the latest comer was laid off i climbed rll the mountains in those parts and then looked over the field and decided it was a good time to go to honolulu no 1 didnt have a job there ive found its best to go without a job and look around in honolulu her luck held and the browneyed ncill persuaded an ice company to create a job for her she took charge of the complaint depart ment and set about making the whole district iceconscious succeeded too then as she says seeing the ships go by all the time sort of made her restless and she decided to go to the orient the ice company gave her a six month leave of absence and she set out for japan this time she lan ded a newspaper job and never went back to the ice company which was desolated to lose her and cabled her a raise i havent been a lot of places says the indefatigable traveller and there are so many countries and even a lot more ways to go around the world i want to try them all the country where she found tho most jobs was russia miss james says only because of her visa run ning out she couldnt stop to take any of them the time she felt most useful was on pitcairn island where she started a new industry you know pitcairn island will only support two hundred people she explains so when more than that get on it the inhabitants draw lots to see who will leave well i noticed that they all went barefooted there because of course they have no leather i had brought some bamboo sandals from japan and they had the bamboo on the island so i taught a few of tho girls to make sandals and now theyre doing it it was just by a lucky fluke that neill got to pitcairn island at all ships dont usually stop there but hers did on account of an sos from the island somebody was very ill thats the way things happen to her volcanoes erupt just after she climbs them revolutions dog her but shes never hurt by them she has worked as a stenographer and typist in many lands and nearly always has found good jobs in the diplomatic service she has promoted newspaper cir culation campaigns and once nearly took a job in mongolia as assistant to a missionary the only time sho was ever broke was in florida when a bank closed shes philosophical about that experience though it was not so nice at the time if youve ever actually been broke why then you can never be afraid of it or mind it again she says so really it was worth it for that bank to fail just to show me shes never afraid of anything says the only place she ever locks her door is in new york city by the way she expects to travel until she is too old to get around then shell sit
