1000 SERVANTS.
Chicago Sends in Another Queer
Story Of the Day.

CHICAGO, Dec. ll.-That there
are 1000 servant girls IN Evanston
who do not attend church and have
no church affiliations Is the discovery
made by Mrs Catherine Waugh Nc

cred all the churches Of the suburb.
"A movement was started by several
women of the church in September
70 have the parlors thrown open
every Thursday afternoon as club
rooms where the girls in domestic
service might meet and where var
ious kinds Of entertainment would
be given them. Opponents of the
plan argued that all the servant
girls had their own church afilia-
,tions and should not be molested.
The scheme of Mrs, McCulloch will
now be revived.
