Some Of the Reasons Why Young Women
Prefer the shop to Domestic service.
Mrs. Helen Campbell has collected a
large number OF testimonials from
working girls in seeking for reasons
why young women prefer shops to do
mestic service. and finds these counts
against mistrcsses:
|. That mistresses 90 not know what
days work means and will seldom If
ever guarantee any payment for over
time or give any portion of the day all
solutely free to the worker, especially
in the position of chila's nurse.
2. That a comfortably warm and de-
Gently furnished room with separate
beds if two must occupy it. is almost
unknown, and decent appointments for
meals equally SO.
3 That even where the servant is
willing to take less wages. the mistress
is seldom willing to have the heaviest
work arranged for: this meaning car
rying coal up many flights of stairs,
scrubbing pavements. washing etc.
1. That often livery is required
thus setting the servant apart and
forcing her to take social position
which most regard as degrading.
). That there is seldom any place but
the kitchen for receiving visitors nor
any securing from espionage, whether
they are male or female

mistress as if her place and work were

Elevated Roads.
When the idea was advanced, months
ago, of placing women in the stations
of the Kings County Elevated road as
ticket-sellers it was considered to be a
doubtful experiment To-day it is an
assured success.
The experiment started by placing
one woman at the Boerum Place sta
ton. Now there are sixteen women
occupying such positions, with hum
dreds OF applicants awaiting vacancies.
At Boerum Place there are two women.
At Elm Place there is one. When the
Flatbush station is reached there will
be seen in the office of the ticket-seller
