A GLUE FoR woRKING GIRLs

An Interesting Account of an institu-
tiOn Founded by william K. DOdge's
Daughter.
The New York Journal tells about
visit to 222 West Eighty-eighth street, the
rooms Of the Working Girls Club. AS
cending to the second floor, the reporter
was led into a large carpeted and neatly
furnished room where some fifty girls Of
all ages and sizes, and representing every
type OF the New York working girl, were
amusing themselves. One table was
heaped nigh with flowers, and around It
sat dozen bright damsels, who, "a they
arranged the many colored blossoms Into
bouquets, chatted merriiy with each 9TH
er. These flowers come 10 US from
friends in the country" said one OF the
young women in reply to the reporters
questioning; land, as you see, we are ar
ranging them in bouquets to gladden. the
homes OF the poor and the sick.
We distribute them ourselves tomOr-
row."
The club has just moved into its new
quarters with nearly 300 members, 1t
startrd year ago with 10. The proprie-
tor OF the phllanthropic enterprise and
present President Is Miss Grace Dodge.
For monthly fee Of % cents any work
ing girl of good character over IA years Of
club holds out TO its members. Among
these not the least are the winter classes
that are being arranged, and in which the
girls, free Of charge, can learn any trade
at which they can earn livelihood. There
viii be an embroidery and sewing class
on Monday evenings, and on Tuesdays
she girls viii be given an Insight into the
culinary art Wednesdays will be devOt-
ed to calisthenics and physical education,
and singing Will take up the time on the
following evening. The dressmaking
class will have its session every Friday
evening, and Saturdays Will be devoted to
instruction on the sewing machine.
The second floor is the girls' general
assembly room. Here are bookcases fill
ed with choice literature, games for pass
ing the leisure hour, handsome pictures
and flowers all the year round. Other
rooms are occupied as class rooms, and
portion of the building is 5ub-let, so as to
bring in a respectable income. "YOu
would be surprised" said Miss Dodge,
ito see the number of young women who
patrouize the club. They come here from
all parts OF the city, and many of them
owe to the club the trades they have mas
tered and the situations they hold. Then
again we have an arrangement by which
every member can enjoy q week or two in
the country during the summer. The
club makes all the arrangements, and of
the S4 week charged for board by our
friends IN the country, the girls only pay
5 %, the club paying the difference"
This department is known as the vacation
society, and is in charge OF Miss Drum
mond. Girls who do not wish to 20 to the
country for an extended stay make up
picnic and seaside parties, and they have
jolly time together at minimum Of
expense.

A CIVIL SERVICE FRAUD.
An Examination by PrOxy-A Curious
Case sf PersOnatiOn,

from me b1tJtD1OFe sun.
Postmaster Veazey has discovered that
Frank A. Gels, a young man who was re-
ported to him as having duly passed the
civil service examination, and appointed
a substitute letter carrier Aug. 10, never
in fact attended the civil service exam
nations. He was persOnGted by his
brother, as young Gels himself acknOwl-
edged to the local board Of examiners
yesterday.
The reason assigned by Gels for the de-
ceptiOn practiced on the examining board
was that ne mashed his hand the day be-
fore the examination and being confident
he could perform the duties TO which he
might be called, he did not think he was
doing very wrong. The brother passed
first-rate examination, his average beng
93. the highest of the carriers class.
Mr.. Neazy. requir ng substitute let
ter-carrier, called on the board to furni n
b IN the names of the four high st on
their list according to the practice. He
selected MIR. Gels for the appointment,
August 10, and intended to report his
name for appointment at Washington
he next day. He received info nation,
however, which led to an investigation.
Mr.. NeaZey sugges ed o the mem pers Of
g local civil-ser ice board yesterday to
20 straight to q is for their informa ion,
result was the young man admitted that
he had sot IN appointment without hay
ing been present at the examination.
Mr.. Veazey said he had no desire to crit
icise the civil service law further than
his duty to the public interest obliged
him. It's purpose was good and some
law to SECURE good civil service was
very desirable. But that there are defects
In the law is apparent from this as we'll as
] q
can be done so easily it suggests whether
there are not other similar cases. With q
large room filed with 200 or 800 persons,
under four or five examiners only, such
an occurrence was not 10 be wondered at.
/ The written vouchers OF the citizens who
signed Mr.. Gels application paper we're
! confirmed by equally strong testimonials
| for him given in respOnie 20 a printed
| card, which the Postmaster always sends
/ out before recommending an appointment.
/ Neazey said he did not know what action
would be taken by the board in the case.
