   PER CURIAM.

The testimony given on the part of the plaintiff failed to show that she was hired for any definite period, and, as her right to recover for one month’s wages depended upon such proof, the judgment must be reversed. Frank v. Man. Mat. & Dis. (Sup.) 107 N. Y. Supp. 404.

Judgment reversed and new trial.ordered, with costs to appellants to abide the event.
