FOUR CENTS A DOZEN.
What is Paid for Making Pocket HandlSer-
chiefs and Shirts.

chiefs and Shirts.
Among the thousands Of toilers in
this busy city there is class of female
workers who earn the most miserable
pittances, and while organized trades
and labor unions are moving for re-
form and seeking to better their
condition, these poor women have
20 prospect of increasing their pay.
One young woman, in charge of the
workroom in an uptown dry goods
store, said that four cents a dozen was
paid for cutting and hemming pocket
handkerchiefs, and two cents per dozen
Tor smoothing and folding them. One
good worker can do twelve dozen a day
-forty-eight cents. Equally low prices
are paid for shirts and ladies' under
garments.
Most of the labor is done at home by
young women who live with poor par
ents, but they work long hours and
exc out q rather miserable existence
The competition is carried on in under
garments to such an extent that en-
ployers endeavOr to obtain work at the
very lowest wages and dictate such
terms as they see fit As low as four
cents is paid for the sewing on a shirt,
and these garments are sold unlaun-
dried at the low figure of eighty cents
each, while the actual cost, including
labor, material and cutting, is twenty
five cents. Such garments are sold in
dry goods stores at much lower prices
than in the fashionable furnishing
goods houses, where the prices are
doubled, but as long as work is carried
to the homes of the sewers there is no
prospect that better prices will be paid.
The same trouble has been expert
enced in the cloaimaking and dress
making trade, whore garments are car
ried home after shop hours, and the
the workingmen and women sew into
the morning hours to earn a few cents
additional to the wages earned by the
man in the downtown shop.-N T.

The "Letters on Society in London,
by Count Paul Vasili," will greatly dis
appoint those readers who looked for
something as sparkling and malicious
as the diatribes on Berlin society. Very
little of what is new Is true, and most OF
the criticisms are not specially brilliant
or discriminating. There Is oharac-
teristic story OF tho Duke of Edinburgh,
which, however, Is more than 10 years
old. The late empress OF Russia was
once staying with h0r daughter,
tho Duchess of Edinburgh, attended
by largo suit. The duke gave
her to understand that he could not af-
ford to entertain her, and that he should
be obliged If, on her departure, she
would order the controller OF her suite
TO pay an adequate sum for the ex-
penses of her visit. At the moment of
departure, after luncheon had been
taken, the Duke of Edinburgh drew
paper from his pocket on which he had
noted down the estimated expenses of
the Russian empress, and he added the
cost of the luncheon TO the amount.
Count Paul Vasili might have added
that when the empress staid for few
days at Buckingham palace she paid
most of the household expenses out of
her own pocket,-l London Truth.
