at costs more to live Sell-to live,
that is, as most English and American
girls are accustomed to live-in Paris
than in New York." says Mrs. Lewis.
Another thing about which many
girls have great delusion is the prac-
teal impossibility Of obtaining work
in Paris which can be done In connec-
ton with ones studies. We have a
large employment bureau in one of our
homes, but almost the only position
we can offer which brings any finan-
cial profit at all is that Of nursery gov
erness. In such a situation, of course,
the employee must give up all her
time, and she gets home and per-
haps $40 a month. In the stores girls
are taken only as apprentices to learn
the business, and their pay consists of
two meals day. So many girls think
they can work at their painting or
piano during the day and earn money
by evening work, but there is actually
nothing for them to do The city is
crowded with people only too ready to
teach English in return for instruction
In French. No money can be made
that way"
Any girl who intends to go to Paris
to study should have an assured In
come of at least $50 month, accord
