Cupid Corners Servant Market
Cupid is playing havoc with the serv-
ant girl market in this city, and as a
consequence West Indian negroes are
being pressed into service at some Of
the large apartment houses to do the
work of chambermaids and charwomen.
1t is common thing these
days to see numbers of housekeepers
at the barge office and at the piers
waiting for incoming ocean liners with
the expectation of engaging house.

comparatively few Hungarians, Irish
German or italian girls who arrive in
New York want places because most
of them are met by sweethearts and
promptly married.
A Suffering Woman

she suffered: "Wh-wh-whre is the

about that" said physician in the

average person passes through life
without ever meeting suffering wom-

The "sklpper's" Costume
Ferryboat passengers crossing the
East river this afternoon were treated
to an amusing marine spectacle in
which the chief actor evidently had no
idea OF Just how funny he looked. He
was the skipper" of houseboat, one
of the modern kind, with its own mo-
tive power in the shape of a small
''kicker" that sent the queer looking
craft down the stream at the rate Of at
least three miles an hour. The boat
was about as sharp as a canalboat
forward and was cut off square in the
stern. and on top Of the hull was the
regular houseboat construction. On the
forward end of the house was place
arranged like a bridge with rails, an
awning and a small steering wheel at
which the skipper stood as proudly as
II he were helmsman OF the biggest and

The thing that contributed not the least
to the comic aspect Of the whole thing
was his correct yachting costume, white
duck trousers, cap and shoes and a

Many Private Race Tracks

81 wonder If there is any one spot on
earth where there are so many private
race tracks as out on Long Island" re-
marked a man who had been out max
ing trip around the Vanderbilt cup
course. "As we went around that
twenty-nine miles of road today I'll
bet we passed at least ten tracks of this
kind, each one fitted up with hurdles
just as complete as those at any of the
big public tracks. And then, of course,
we could not have seen all there are,
for the simple reason that we covered
only a part of Nassau county in our
ride. The smart folk out on Long
Island may not keep their private
graveyards like the bad man in the
song, but they certainly do seem to
think a private race track Is an abso-
lutte necessity of existence"

young couple married the other

guests who had gone over from New
York to view the ceremony. AS they
were preparing to depart two beauti-
full, spirited horses were brought to the
front of the house. The happy pair ap-
peared in immaculate riding dress,
mounted the horses, which were we'd
ding presents and rode away at a
gait rapid enough to avoid showers of
rice and discarded footwear and the
usual delay that attends such depart
ures in carriage or a motor car. In
spite of the general impression Of the
guests, the blissful pair did not ride
far. They changed the horses for an
automobile short distance away.
