cane into port from Europe yester-
dag On the White star line steamship

pretty and good cooks.
New York, Oct 1.-The arrival OF

said the coincidence OF such a large
number OF single women booking pass

attention In London. Many Of the
young women are coming here to seek
employment In factories ard in
homes. About as per cent are girls
who have lived here before, but who
returned to Europe for the summer.
Many Of these broughtl relatives
with them TO I'LL places as servants,
arrangements for which had been
made In advance.
About one half of the newcomers
VIII remain in and near New York
City, the others having tickets for
towns In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio

Most Of those who landed were Irish
girls who went back this year TO at
