New York Shop Girls.
Leslie's Weekly.

LeSl1eS weekly.
Very few shop girls are married; for
they generally marry to improve their con-
dition, and naturally do not intend then
to work-they expect their husbands to do
the ''hustling." Some of them, of course,
are deceived, and are forced to return to
the store in order to help out their hus-
bands. But that this is not the rule is
proved by the envy shown by the sales
ladies to anyone among them who an
nounces her engagement.
People in general think, I believe, that
girls who like to rubber" as they call it,
at night, are a wicked lot. That has not
