In Behalf of Hotel Help.

The N. Y. Press is doing good thing in bring
ing to light the conditions under which girls EN-
ployed in hotels are obliged to particularly
those engaged in the kitchen departments The
articles are not merely sensational, but are written
with judgment and discrimination They cover
such well known houses as the Morton, the Ever
EFT, the Clarendon, the Westminster, the st.
Stephens and others, and are said to be the work
of clever woman, Miss Emma S. Trapper, acting
under the consent and authority of the Board Of
Health The result will certainly be beneficial to
this class OF underpaid workwomen, and it is a
pity the investigation could not be carried into
some private houses. The Working Girls Society
of Clinton Place, Miss Alice Woodbridge, super
intendent, has taken up the case, and will add a
department to It's work this Autumn, of domestic
service in hotels which will have the effect in adj
vance of lettering their condition and leaving them
less in the power Of stewards and underlngs.-

CHOW that women are making their way in al
most every trade and profession in this country"
said well know jeweler, 'it seems strange to me
that so few of them work at matchmaking. In
Switzerland, even years ago, when l learned the
trade there, there were many women watchmakers.
Now, in that country, there are nearly as many
women in the business as there are men. But in
all New York there are only four women watch
makers whom know of, and am reasonably well
informed. One Of these women lives up in Har-
lem, far away from the business portion OF the
town, and she must make, on an average, from
$25 to $35 week. send many Of the more del

Grandmothers Wanted.

From the Canadian Queen.l
care there no grandmotbers nowadays?" asked
discouraged teacher Of a church sewing class the
other day. "My girls are from ten to twelve
years Of age and belong to respectable families;
but such hemming! and such scanning They can
all crochet, however," added she disdainfully.
The speaker had, in her youth, been carefully
trained by her own grandmother in all the arts of
dainty stitchery, and could only account for the
awkward use of the needle by girls of to-day by
supposing the race Of grandmothers extinct.
Those daily 'stents" set for the little girls of
long ago produced good results; and home, with
the stent system, under the direction of udcious
and skilful elder, seems the fitting place for in
struction in such womanly art as needlework.
1t is not kindness to let girl grow up unfami-
liar with her needle. With this tiny weapon
woman may drive away either want, or ennui if
she be we'll trained in it's use. One who knows the
comfort Of this feminine resource would sadly miss
it in
"The silent and secluded hours
Through many lonely day,
While bending Der her 'brodered flowers,
With spirit far away"
"a queen" says Hawthorne, ''plies it on occa-
slons; the womans eye that has discovered new
STAR turns from its glory to send polished little

icate watches which are brought to me to be re-
paired, to her, and other jewellers do the same
thing She does good work, and she lives in
quiet neighborhood. The latter is, you know, very
important to matchmaker sometimes. The jar
caused by the passing Of heavily loaded trucks,
and by the elevated trains, and so on, is some
times so violent down here in the business part of
the town that it is impossible to do fine work. =

instrument cleaning along the hem of her kerr
Chief or to darn casual fray in her dress 1t is
token of healthy and gentle characteristics when
women of accomplishment and high thought love
to sew, especially as they are never more at home
with their own hearts than when so occupied
Speaking of one whose exquisite embroidery
commanded both admiration and high prices at
decorative art rooms, friend remarked, "But
Mary, you know, had the advantage of her grand
mothers training, and she was needlewoman of
the old school,"
The grandmother again? Surely, it is clear that
grandmothers or substitutes for grandmothers,
are sorely needed for the girls now growing up
with but little liking for their needles.
The daily stent may be a daily trial till the
pleasure of skilful handling of the needle can be
felt; but may not the training of character also
be going on while little fingers patiently work at
tower and over" that will not look even, or hem
ming that seems so endless?
Many prick must those poor little fingers feel;
tears, perhaps, will be shed when imperfect work
is picked out, but with the effort such qualities
as attention and accuracy are developed, together
with those good old virtues of lifelong need, pa
thence and perseverance, is not the result well
worth the daily discipline? In due time there will
come, too, the joy which work we'll done brings to
The worker, as reward for our painstaking little
women
Give the child blocks of patchwork (the edges
turned and basted) to seam tower and over; )"
and if bright bits of calico are chosen, and dolls
bed-qut is to be the result of her efforts, the
little seamstress will feel an interest in her work as
she plods along the daily stent, which should not
be too long.
When some familiarity with the needle has been
gained, hemming may be taught on coarse towels,
counting the threads taken in each stitch, till the
eye is trained to work without such care Making
bag is excellent work for more advanced lessons
in plain sewing, and for fine work, Mr.. Ruskin
says, "make them every one sew proper sampler,
with plenty Of robins in it, and any motto they
like in Illuminating letters, finished with gold
thread-the ground silk
And SO, little by little, day by day, our little
maidens will learn their art, and the fame of future
grandmothers as trainers of needlewomen worthy
Of the name will equal those of the past

Stern father-What did Mr.. Softly say when

Shy daughter-No, he seemed to be pleasantly
surprised. You see he had never offered to kiss
me before, but he says your wishes shall be re"

Something About Friendship.


The talk OF making friends is largely misuse
of language. Friends are found, not made. They
are discovery, not creation. For any friend
ship that is worth the name is predestined and
foreordained affair. 1t is not at all matter of
rational choice nor of well-considered reason, but
rather Of magnetism and temperament We make
goodwill as metal atmosphere surrounding us,
and whether we have this or not depends very
largely on ourselves. We make pleasant acquaint-
ance and weIl-wishers by exercising certain quail
ties of selfcontrol, generosity and courtesy but
friend is found not made. No observance of po-
lite form, or even the deeper influence of noble
qualities of mind and heart can determine this,
nor hardly can the lack of these, change that
friendship which is simply recognition. It is un-
changing and eternal in its very essence 1t can
bear everything of friction, trial, annoyance or
pain, and yet spring up again with even new vital
ity. Such friendship is gift of the gods, and it
is not commonly found. People talk lightly and
careessly enough of their friends, when they do
not know the meaning of the word when they are
not themselves the stuff that friends are made of,
and know no more the strength and devotion and
infinite sacrifice that the word comprehends than
thew do of the emotions of the inhabitants of
Mars. To exchange calls and dinner invitations;
to be members of the same club, or the same
church; or to have views in common regarding the
Wagner operas and Ibsen dramas is by no means
friendship; although many relations, even more
superficial than these, masquerade under that
name. There are plenty Of people, fitted out with
relay of substantial qualities and pleasing attri-
butes, who fill we'll the place of that extensive
outer court of acquaintances Society requires,
for its cohesion, polite conformity, cultivated taste
and powers of selection and self-control. OF
friends, in any genuine sense, one can inevitably
have but few. Even one is quite enough to make
life beautiful and redeem it from materalism.
And even one is more than perhaps the majority
of people possess, although they who least know
the higher possibilities of friendship would be the
first TO deny this assertion That life is rich which
holds one perfect friendship, in which mutual
sympathy is almost mutual clairvoyance, and in
which sacrifice would be a personal luxury, if done
for the good of one another. Trust and tender
ness are the two factors of this finest and most
sweet of social relations. Yet it is relation for
the most part that defes analysis, defes, explana-
ton, defes all known laws of the chart of polite
society. But its strength is the one great stimu-
lus of life; it is inspiration. We can do for our
friend that which we could not do for ourselves !;
we can rise with him, or for him, to heights other
wise unknown.-London Saturday Review.
