STEALING SERVANT GIRLS.
The Desperate Straits TO which Some
Housekeepers Have Come.


A new phase OF the everlasting serv-
ant girl question has recently come TO
light-the hiring Of servants by wo-
men going actually TO other persons
houses and offering girls higher wages.
This prevails 10 an alarming extent n
nearly all the large cities.
A woman who win do this-well,
she will do other things Of which
strong language could be used. and yet
these women are TO be found among
the best peopIe-that Is, ii should be
added that they live on the best streets
In town. but a woman who will hire
away her friends servants cannot be
strictly said to be entitled 10 any pO-
sition. This happens every day and
can be accounted for TO a certain ex-
tent by the scarcity Of servants. and
the desperation Of housekeepers, who
VIII resort to almost any means TO OBJ
tain them
Not so long ago something Of this
kind happened to a Chicago woman,
and in recOunting the AFFAIR TO friend
she said she felt a pardOnable degree
OF pride for the manner In which she
handled the matter. This woman lives
in a fat and had just hired a general
bousework servant.
About two days afterward the bell
rang. and when Annie. as We VIII call
her. went 10 the door she noticed that
the girl went out and closed the door
and stood talking to some one 10 the
hall So the mistress OF the house sus-
pected something and went 10 the door
and opened Il. There stood a woman
whom she knew by sight. but had new
er met. and she was evidently endeay-
oring 10 hire away Annie, for the girl
was very red In the face and the wo-
man was very white when the door
opened. This conversation ensued:
Mistress 81 the House-Whom did
you come 10 see?
VISITOR came TO see Annie: she Is
a-frlend Of mine
Mistress OF the House-Annie, Is this
woman a friend Of yours1
Annie tfeeblyl-Yes'm. she Is.
Mistress Of the House-Well, Annie,
invite your friend into the kitchen 10
sit down.
Dead si1encsl And presently the
woman departed. and when the mis-
tress Of the house interviewed Annie
she found she had never seen the Wo-

man before In her life, but did not like
to betray the fact when she called her
a friend
This was such remarkable state Of
affairs 10 the housekeeper In question
that she was quite paralyzed, and still
more so when she found out further
that the woman offered Annie s. more
a month to come TO her.

a tea and meets the woman who tried
TO get Annie away from her. and they
glare at each other and pass on. but
