FACTS ABOUT PARIS SHoPGIRLS
Capable and Ambitious Glass, More
Energetic Than the Average
Girl.

The Paris shopgirI, or midinette as she Is
called who has recently been creating
something of a disturbance by her strike,
is much more ambitious person than her
sister in England, reports a woman in the
New York American.
The proprietors of some OF the larger
establishments, which employ as many as
700 girls have built hostels, where it is
compulsory for their employees to live.
One that / visited was about mile away
from the shop and had a charming dining
and restroom, Are you obliged to take
all your meals here?" l asked a girl who
| spoke excellent English "Oh, no." she
answered, but as a matter OF fact we do,
because the food is better and cheaper; we
are allowed an hour and a half for dinner"
/ OF course such a thing as a Saturday or
any other half holiday is unheard Of;
] everybody, however has a fortnights hol.

Gently great many Of the shops remained
open on Sunday morning, but this Is be-
coming rare and only happens in some Of
the suburbs or in the small shops employ
ing one two girls. 1t is in these places
that the hardships arise.
In all the large establishments on the
boulevards a knowledge of at least one
other language besides French is almost a
necessity If any position above a mere
runner "a girl who carries messages
from one department to another) is to be
obtained.
The Paris employer has not the English
mans objection 10 marriage on the part of
his employees; il tends, he thinks, to steadi-
ness, and l made the acquaintance of sew
eral "mademoiselles" married TO men in
other departments Of the, same establish
ment One graceful young lady who spoke
excellent English and German confded In
me that she had "jolie petite bebe" and
that her husband was manager Of the pro-
vision department.
Il have been here five years" she said,
and when l married a year and a halt
ago the managers gave me present"
! She said her mother who lived in neigh
boring flat took charge OF the baby while
| she was absent. Most French shopgirls
expect to work after marriage; they seem
| TO take It as a matter OF course, unlike
the English girl, who rarely looks forward
to more than five or six years at hei
work, intending TO give It all up as soor
as she is married.

ants spoke English well she told me tha

by surprise in the night and burned their
town and massacred a great many of its
inhabitants. Their bones lay about in every
direction and there were also a great many
buffalo skulls that look as II the buffaloes

teacher who visited the hostel on tbrss
evenings in the week, attendance at the
classes being voluntary An examinstior
was held at the end of the term and the
prize" consisted in a slx-months' free
visit to England in order to perfect herself
in English.
II was amazing to hear the different Ian
suases which were spoken in that shop
or store" Paris is the shopping center
OF the world and everyone seems to expect
to find his own language spoken to him.
strange to say, great many Russians
come to Paris to have their furs made up
or to buy others An assistant speaking
excellent Russian is forthcoming; one of
the men speaks Japanese. and | saw bust
ness being transacted in the deaf and dumb
alphabet
The manager told me that a Norwegian
lady and gentleman had just made large
purchases. Their French was elementary
nut that was OF no consequence, as the
| telephone soon summoned the assistant
! competent to converse with them In their
own language
Distances in Paris are so much smaller
than in London that many assistants" ara
able TO live at home-of course the estab-
lishment OF hostel such as is described
above Is an exception. 1 learned that al
most all Paris shopgirls are Parisennes;
| 1t is most unusual for girls from the coun-
| try 10 seek situations in the city.
In a little side street of one Of the
bouIevards / paid a call on a girl employed
in one OF the smaller shops. She was read
/ ing an English book while her mother
I'm white apron and the neat blue dress Of
! the peasant, was putting the finishina
touches to some elegant frills Of Iace-she
was a washerwoman. The tiny room was
! eNqusitely clean, and madamoiseIle greeted
me ia excellent English. She explained
/ that the year before, having studied Eng
/ lish and saved up some money she went
TO London shop on reciprocal terms for
4 six months 10 perfect her accent on her
! return she was able 20 ask for better
wages. Next year" she said, Il hope 10
do the same thing in RerIn and then I
shall leave my present situation There are

month. The girl with whom / was talk
ing told me that her 'takiuEsr only once

We then cut brush and laid across the
willows thick enough so that we could
haul our wagons over by hand. Our cattle
we swan over to the west bank where we
remained over night. There were six other

Sunday, the 18th, we Travelled about six
miles and forded the Loup fork of the
Platte at a point 1894 miles from winter
quarters We had to raise our wagon
boxes eight inches to clear the water and
had to drive very crooked and keep moving
to prevent our wagons from sinking in the
quicksand. Several wagons belonging TO
other companies were stalled and nearly
upset in consequence of the sand washing
out from under one side faster than the
other. But the wagons were quickly got
out; otherwise they would have soon been
under the water
Wild onions were plenty from the Elk
horn here, growing in some places as thick
as they could stand. The country from
Winter Quarters here is almost destitute OF
timber. There are some willows and cot
tonwoods although but few along the
creeks and the Platte. Such OF these trees
as there are along the Platte or Loup fork
are mostly on the islands, 1t is a very
flat country, but pretty prairie.

Crossing the Missouri.
The party crossed the Missouri river at
the old Mormon ferry, which is distant
twelve miles from Kanesville," and the
locality, now Florence, is thus described:
There was a willow shade on the bank
at the ferry beneath which a seller Of
hot stuff had set up shop. As this was
the last chance, some OF our boys soon
felt finely Several companies were on
the bank waiting for their turn to cross.
and as the last load Ct was on board of
our company showed off from shore some-
one on the bank proposed three cheers for
the departing company, and there went up
three dsafening 'hurrahs.'
There are a few log houses mere at the
river where the Mormons wintered one
season in the Nebraska or Indian terri
tory and it goes by the name Of Winter
Quarters / mention this for the reason
that the distances on this road are all
measured from that point. The MormOns
measured the distance from there to the
Salt Lake by means Of 'RoadometeT'
and therefore all the crooks and turns In
the road are measured and this is one
reason why 1t is so far, We drove six
miles from winter quarters and stopped
