much better opportunity of judging of this
matter than we. Don't these women tell
you sometimes that it is physical neces-

Nina, with a bright spot on each cheek.)
Never, as / am living woman Who
says so :?
Mrs. Y. Men tell their wives so. Don't
they tell you that you are as bad as they
arc
Nina. They had better not They knoc
better. And yet, perhaps, they do think so.
IL is our business to make them believe it,
but didn't suppose they did. In fact, L
know they don't. There are some of the
best men in Washington who insist on hav-
ing new girl every time they come. It's
a common question, Haven't you a new
face to show me ?" And they want young
girls, too-the younger the better. OF
course, they get tired of their wives, but |
do get out of patience to see that they want
a new one every time.
Mrs. x. Who are your most regular and
liberal patrons, married men or single?
Nina. Oh, married men, Of course. 1
should st@ve If depended apon yoang
men. ll
Mrs. X. What reason do they give for
coming? "9s-ei- i'-
Nina. O, they complain of their wives,
and say they don't treat them well, but ace
know that they get tired of everybody
One man who has family in Washington
has visited this house for fifteen years, and
he never is satisfied.
Mrs. X. Are there any laws in the Dis
trict in relation to your business?
Nina. None that know of, only when a
man gets drunk, or jealous, or angry, he
may go out and make complaint, and the
next thing is raid on the house. Every
thing is sold out, and if we can't raise
money enough to pay the fine, we are put
in Jail and that isn't the worst of it--all
the men connected with it are our regular
customers, and insult us and abuse all the
more we are traded"
Mrs. Y. What q demoralzing effect it
would have to give you women choice in
your officers! Would your girls marry if
they had an opportunity If they could
have each a little one of her own who could
bear its fathers name, do you think they
would be satisfied? ?
Nina. Well, of course, most of them
expect at first to marry the men who bring
them here, but after they have been in the
business long time, | have heard them say
they wouldn't marry the best man living.
You don't know men as we do. III they
deceive their wives, as we know they do,

And yet our girls would be the most faith
ful wives in the country if they were mar
ried. 1t does happen sometimes, that some
man better than the rest falls in love with
one of our GIRLS. and marrieS her and takes
her away. NO danger Oh ner ever Waiting
