The girl, if you will notice, is now engaged in filling the leaves of her book with shorthand, therefore that proves her occupation.

That she is secretary to a rich man is evidenced by the fact that she crossed in the _Servia_ first cabin, as you may see by glancing at the label on the case; that she came alone, which is to say her employer was not with her, is indicated by the typewriter being marked 'Not Wanted,' so it was put down into the hold.

If a Chicago business man had been travelling with his secretary, the typewriter case would have been labelled instead, 'Cabin, wanted,' for a Chicago man of business would have to write some hundreds of letters, even on the ocean, to be ready for posting the moment he came ashore.

The typewriter case is evidently new, and is stamped with the name and address of its sellers in Chicago.

That she came by the Great Western is shown by the fact that 'Chester' appears on still another label.
