FEW ITALIAN SERVANT GIRLS
One Nationality which Lis Pr@ctieAiiS
UnreDresented at the New YORK
Employment Agencies.

Next to May. September is the month
in which the employment agencies in
New York are busiest, states the New
York Sun. Women who have to depend
upon these places note as remarkable
circumstance that among the number
of girls to be engaged for domestic serV-
ice, including Irish. Swedish, German,
English and French maids. colored
girls. Swiss and Russian girls. Cana
dian, Dutch, Polish. Scotch. Hungarian
and Bohemian girls, there are no Ital-
ians
This exception is the more surprising
because male Italians devote them
selves largely to the class Of work which
most nearly corresponds to domestic
service among women. There are Ital-
ian walters, Italian Wallets and Italian
porters, not to speak of Italian peddlers.
bootblacks, BARRIERS and grocerymen;
but there are no Italian servant girls.
The dearth OF these is the more sur
prising because Italy is one of the coun-
tries in Europe in which the number
OF female births greatly exceeds the
UumU6I q mdlS DlElHSs anu Alh4tdu girls,
usually precocious. do not lack training
in their own country as to the require
ments Of household service, to which
they devote themselves almost exclu-
sively. there being few co-eds and still
fewer professional women in Italy.
For many years the explanation OF
this anomaly was to be found in the fact
that large proportion Of the immigra-
ton from Italy was male, but in recent
years this disparity has not continued
Italian girls are not lacking IN the at
tributes required for efficient house
hold service They are quick. indus
trioas and frugal; they do not drink;
they have no top-lofty social notions;
there is little demand for their services
in such professional occupations as
typewriting. bookkeeping and stenog-
raphy. The fact is that the girls in
clined to domestic duties marry. They
do not become servants

During my recent three months So
journ in European countries spent a
good deal of the time trying to get
correct information as to the life of the
common people; how the masses over
there got on socially and econom-
ieally," remarked Albert Sidney BurIe-
son, the young Congressman from the
Austin TEX district, according to a
Washington report. In seeking light
on the condition Of the breadwinners
OF England, France and Germany, l
went out into the rural districts and
asked questions Of pretty nearly every
body with whom / could converse.
The result OF my observations led
me to the conclusion that in England
the working classes approximate more
nearly the standard of living enjoyed
by the wage earners Of the United
States than their brethren who toll
on the continent. The English la
borer, as to hours. wages, and the COM
