Gern-Proof Cooks

This is the gist of a letter received
recently by several West side families
afflicted with sickness of a contagious
nature:
Il have learned through the health
reports that you have a contagious dis
ease in your family. That being the
case, possibly you will find it difficult
to keep servants. I am prepared to
meet emergencies of this kind In case
you need my services communicate
with me at the above address and
Will supply you on short notice with
whatever assistance you may require"
One woman to whom the letter was
addressed was not troubled fortunately,
with diseases contagious or other
wise, neither did she need a servant.
Nevertheless she inquired into the
strange communication.
Il mean just what 1 say" said the
woman who had sent out the letters.
L do not run a regular employment
agency, but | happen to know several
good cooks who are not afraid of con-
tagious diseases They are women who,
having had all diseases under the sun,
from hives to smallpox, are compare
lively safe from attack, hence are quite
willing, for the extra money there is in
it, to accept situation in a quaran-
tined house. There has been a good
deal of such sickness lately and all the
women on my list have had situations
The families to whom / offered aid
were mighty glad of the assistance,
too. Employment agencies do not as
a rule, keep a stock of germ proof
cooks on hand, SO, after the regular
servants had fled. the members of the
stricken household were obliged to take
charge of their own kitchen. After sew
eral days of drudgery they were pretty
well played out and We're willing to pay
almost any price for a cook that was
not afraid of the job.

Goods That Give Trouble.

Il hope" said the manager of the
storage warehouse, that you haven't
any of your customers goods packed
away in these trunks"
What difference does it make to you
if I have?" demanded the dressmaker,
indignantly.
1T makes this difference" returned
the manager, with a corresponding
show of spirit. 1T means several bad
half hours for me. Really, things have
got so bad that I hate to give room in
my warehouse to stuff belonging to you
dressmakers. Most of you are sure TO
pack away several hundred of dollars
worth of clothes belonging to your Gus
toners, and as soon as they get wind
of what you have done my troubles be-
gin. OF course, the women want their
stuff and they insist upon my letting
them have it. l explain that the owner
of the boxes pays storage on them and
1 have no right to open them and give
away part of the contents, but that
does not satisfy the women. They say
their clothes are in the boxes and they
mean to have them.

Three fiounced skirts are still one of
the most popular models, and are seen
in dresses of both heavy and thin mate
rails.
When made of the former fabrics the
fiounces are shaped and are then sewed
to the foundation skirt, with only a
slight amount of fullness, but if the
material is thin and soft the fiounces
are cut very full and are either gath
cred or shirred.
The gown illustrated is made with a
charmingly pretty skirt of this descrip-

ray several important families are put
in mourning and will be compelled to
refrain from the merry whirl for at
least six months. Mrs. Murray was the
mother of Mrs. Cutting, and her other
prominent daughter is Mrs. Lucius K.
Wilmerding. Mrs. Murray died as a
result of slipping on the highly polished
floors in her home in West Fifty-fifth
street. The venerable woman fingered
and apparently she had recovered from
her bruises. But a week age, she suf-
fered relapse. The Cuttings had ar
ranged a trip to California when this
accident occurred, and the tour was
abandoned. Mrs Murray's third
daughter, Mrs. c. Wickliffe Yulee, takes
little part in the gayety of New York.
The Murray men, Archibald and James,
also are seen seldom in the set in
which the Cuttings and the Wilmer
dings move. Mrs. Cuttings young
daughter made her debut last winter.

Six Cases of Typhoid Now

Peculiar Actions of Those in Authority
Revealed by the Preliminary
Investigation Made.

At the Industrial Home School. near

children are cared for. an outbreak OF
typhoid fever, which threatens to be
widespread among the children, IS raging
under peculiar circumstances.
The first indication Of such condition
Of affairs was given this morning when
the Health Department received from
Dr. J. T. r. Appleby reports OF six cases
OF the disease among children between
the ages Of ten and thirteen years.

Of the Health Department do not show
that il was reported before this morn

sician to report every typhoid case that

The Health Department heard this
