FREE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR WOMEN.
The vexed Servant gal' question is
in far way Of being settled in our large
cities In the Only way possible, by the
natural working of self-iDterest on the
part Of employers and employed. Sever
al women of education and experience in
affairs, finding themselves in want of an
assured position In the world, and the
world very much In want OF clean collars
and decent dinners, determined to exert
their skill in this direction for the good
Of the public, and to reap the benefit.
Instead of haunting the Congressman Of
their district for a clerkship at Washing
ton. or piling vile manuscripts on the
hands of a patient editor, without a
thought even of giving readings in public.
which the world very we'll knows any
graduate of grammar school Is com-
petent to DO, at $50 night for five nights
in week, these ladies' In question,
whose abilities in other and more eligible
directions were we'll proved, in the
quietest way opened training school,
for girls who wanted work in good
families.
When it started year and half ago,
it was only to teach sewing in the incest
way, and occupied rooms over Wheeler
& Wilson's Sewing Machine depot. In
accordance with the original idea, the
scheme was extended, and last spring
the school was removed to large house
in Tenth street, where various depart
ments are now IL full operation. There
is nothing about the place but the bright
ly lettered signs to distinguish it from
the old residences in Brevoort Place, as
| the dwellers like to call the long block
from University Place to Broadway. The
| hall door stands open into suite of
large parlors scrupulouoly kept, where
smiling lady at a light desk receives lady
visitors looking for help and applicants
for training as well as orders for work in
various branches filed by the house.
Instead of wearing the air of an intellig
ence Office, it is place acceptable for
ladies to enter. A large piano, pictures,
and a well-filled bookcase are its resour-
ces for evening when it is open as free
reading-room for women, SO that work
ing girls of any class may feel that they
have place to spend their evenings with
as good right as men have III club-rooms
or saloons.
The basement has the large gilt sign,
"Women's Tea Room" and the well
kept entrance, the COOL spotless, shady
interior, the polished plate windows care
fully screened with muslin shades, the
excellent order Of the bronze burners
and globes in the windows, give it pre-
cisely the inviting air of the best private
restaurants. Here the visitor find a
snowy table, with clear glasses, an ac-
curately cooked chop, and cups OF fault
less coffee or charming tea. Here, every
morning from half-past six to half-past
seven, working girls find generous cup
of coffee and bread enough for their break
fast at charge of five cents. This food,
of nice quality, is a very grateful pro-
vision for class of shop girls who find
! lodgings in tenement houses at the rate
of fifteen cents per night, and have no
other way of finding meals, unless they
poison themselves with the nauseous
compounds of low eating saloons, where
the influences are Of the worst discrip
ton. With the building is connected
| laundry, where nice work is done at the
lowest prices in the city. This is made
a success by the very reasonable step OF
charging according to the work done, at
| therate of fifty cents dozen for small
| pieces and dollar for large ones. The
establishment is well patronized, and
| both laundry, and restaurant are design
ed from the start to be self-supportlng.
There is no reason why business plan
SO much needed should not be success
| full, and I have mentioned this some
what in detail, as similar establishments
are sure to be opened in all towns of any
size The free reading room receives
the support of dozen OF more wealthy
