Miss Stella Willins, who claims to be the quickest woman typist in the world, was in London recently to give exhibitions of her skill. Her home is New York. She has typed a memorised passage at the rate of 250 words a minute, which no other woman has accomplished; and when she made the world’s record her fingers made 14 strokes a second. To come to practical utility, when she won the international contest in New York last October she typed unfamiliar matter for an hour at an average speed of 124 a minute —which is faster than most business men can dictate for shorthand. She admits that this was a tremendous physical strain. Miss Willi,ns found’ that at first her training sa a- pianist helped her but she has now given up the piano to preserve her typing touch. She has been working hard as a typist for eight years. '
