ants in the same building, these live In
apartments at the top of a vast structure
Of brick and stone and steel that is full
Of life and action and companionship in
the daytime, but at night deserted and
silent as the grave. Even in the day the
oompanionship of the hundreds or thou
sands that inhabit the big building dur.
ing business hours is not for the mem
bers of the janitor's family. So far as
the tenants are concerned, these might

are physically removed from them only
by the height of a few stories, they are
virtually as remote as if leagues of sea
and walls of mountains separated them.
Between the janitor's family and the
tenants, in fact, there exists that most
impossible of barriers, difference in So

have Us believe is not as apparent here

surmountable here, when it exists, a.
anywhere else in the world.
Even the smart typewriter girls and
the junior clerks in the Offices look down
upon the janitor's wife. his sons and
his daughters whenever they chance to
see them, while to the janitor himself
only that sort Of federation is accorded
that is melted out to q servant of an up

big one, however, the janitor becomes q
superintendent, and with the change of
title there is q vast change in the social
standing Of the man in charge and that
Of his family, though his duties would
not seem likely to undergo any great
change. But there is this really impor-
tant dif1erence-the janitor is obliged
himself to perform q part Of the mental
services that must be rendered about the
building. while the superintendent, who
