forms Of agitation, and is
asking pertinent and other
questions of firms, factories and
stores, as to the wages paid the
young women who are making a liv-
ing by working at the trades and
cailings in each.
The queries have taken on the dig
nifty of an investigation" and from
this point begin to look as though
they would be about as valuable to
the cause under discussion, as those
investigations which our august Con-
gress spent SO much time, money and
breath in making-and everyone
knows the answer to that.

Of low wages and low moral stand

the rest OF the cities should sit up
and take note of much that is in

In the first place, the women Of

manner OF speaking Of the women
who have gone from the path of vir-
Jue) are taking hand in the dis
cussion, themselves, and while their
letters to the commission have been
anonymoUs-the have the ring of
truth to them which is one of the
most horrible features of the affair.
And the keynote of each Of these
letters has been this: While the wo-
luen have been tempted to fall, it has
not been because of the "life of
ease,' nor the fine clothes which the
money from this oldest of trades"
made possible; every woman who
as written to the committee, has
confessed it was love for a man,
~2ith in him, and the absolute belief
n his word which made it possible
or them to place their all in a mans
keeping
Another point made by the wo-
men, and which has been borne out
by the facts which have transp1red
n New YOrk's police scandal, was
his: the women were segregated"

-orce, men who knowingly rented
their houses for the purposes of CIV

by the Farrell Taylor Trio, opened a
weeks engagement at the Gayety

act musical comedy entitled I'm Mex
