Regarding Maids Wages

''Will you kindly infrom me If a
working woman. engaged by the month,
gets discharged without notice, though
fully competent, and the person who
discharged her tries to pay her for the
days she worked, Is she not entitled
to a full months pay? Can her en-
ployer be compelled to pay her?
IAN EMPLOYEE"
1 am not conversant with the laws
of your state. In the eastern states If
the engagement be made for the month
and the employer discharges the maid
Except for gross faults, such as dis
honestly before the specified time is
up she is bound to pay the months
wages. | have known of servants who
made a practice of displeasng the em-
ployer in some way at the end of a
week or SO, obliging her to dismiss
them peremptorily, then demanding the
months wage before they could leave.
One maid boasted of having worked"
four places in one month by this trick.
Until American housewives learn to be
true to their order, and to establish
fixed laws for the regulation of do
mestic service, questions like that you
ask will remain unsettled.
Will Kansas housemothers advise us
with regard to laws on this subject in

against my plan, but 1 have just as
much faith in my song as ever. If |

myself out of the perdition of poverty
In which / now exist. Tied down by
household duties and weakened by ill
health, l can make no money. [ am in
doubt as to a publisher for my song,
but know there are plenty of sub
stantial publishers who will do their
part in the transaction.
II have only the verses for the song;
the music will have to be composed by
the publisher. I know there are thous-
ands of ambitious song writer's, but l
know I can make good at this line of
work. It's aften just little simple, roll
licking songs that make hits do

help othersl MARGARET c." .
l wish 1 could encourage you to hope
that your line of money making is
likely to succeed. If you knew more of
literary work you woud choose any
other honest employment. In the first
place, publishers do not set songs to
music, or trouble themselves to have
1t done. Music and words, fifty married,
are put into their hands to be judged
by experts. Even when a song is pub
lfshed the remuneration is not ample in
one out of a thousand instances
This sounds ungracious, but | do not
speak inadvisedly. The ranks of all
branches of literature are cruelty
crowded. The two has little chance of
gaining the ear of publisher, editor,
or public, unless he possesses gifts OF
a high order.

Mrs. Steeles few letters show no great

verse which she penned to her husband
and added to one of these letters Is In
teresting:
"Ahl Dick Steele, that / were sure
Your love, like mine, would still endure:
That time, nor abesnce, which destroys
The cares of lovers, and their joys,

Which you have given of your heart;
Others unenvy'd may possess
Whatever they think of happiness.
Grant this, o God, my great request:
In his dear arms may I forever rest!"
