AN EXPERIMENT IN living LIVING

apartment House and Reports On Life
Of WORKING Girls

-- ~ 80
Boston Post; How would you like t
carry trays, wash and polish silverware
take meals to persons eating in thei
rooms and be onduty as a waitress thir
teen hours every day In the week for 81
a month and board?
That Is what DR.. Amy r. Tanne:: o
Clark university, Worccsters, has done II
order to get at certain sociological in
formation which she is gathering.
It was in a fashionable apartment
house in Washington. d. c., much fire.

Miss Tanner and a cnum We're employed
we stuck it out for several weeks
Miss Tanner told a Post reporter. "Ant
wnen we we're through. we were tota
wrecks; mental, moral and physica
wrecks"
Moral wrecks?" she was asked.
Yes, we would order deserts for per
sons who were absent and hide them;
we woald sneak out Of as much work as
possible; We looked upon our mistress a,
u common enemy; we filched little black
headed pins from .5the.arooms we visited,
and, dear me, we actually got over the
surprise and indignation Of being given
tips.
why physical wrecks?"- j
I'm the first place the way we ate our
meals. We never took longer than tif-
teen minutes to eat our food and we
never sat down to 4 table. We filled a
plate with whatever was left, perched
on a stool, ate amid the sight and smell
Of dishwashing, with dirty dishes all
about us and the pile of scraps growing
bigger every minute as the dishwasher
pursued his. merry way. Under such con.
ditions a meal is not likely to consume
much time.
"Such things as cake, fruits and cost.
up as soon as the last guest vas served.
AT breakfast we could always have
bacon and eggs if we chose, but at lunch
there was literally only bread and butter.
At dinner there would usually be meat
and potato with q vegetable, all cold, be-
cause the cook did not take the trouble
to keep them hot for US.
I'VE were lame and Enthusiastically
bruised-from head to foot. This was the

and five hours a day, pushing OR way
through swinging doors and hitting our.
selves against table corners.
"All Of us could display choice collec-
tons Of black and blue spots, particu.
larly on the right side, as we turned to
the right to push through the doors.
"Our arms ached from finger tips to
shoulders, and u backs and necks
were lame from the strain of lifting tho
trays. Our feet were sore, swollen and
in some cases blistered, from being on
them SO many hours q day. Most of these
things were true of all Of us-not mere
~ the new ones.
we were on duty at 1880 o'clock in
the morning ard they were late guests
almost up to noon, and trays ordered to
the rooms with silver 20 care for be-

the middle Of the afternoon, Or two on

I'VE woke up with only the conscious
ness Of a dull ache; we felt ourselye
over. cautiously to see II we were all Their,
and we would crawl out resignedlys O
Notwithstanding to temperament.
AN day long the background Of liv.
ing was an ache. This showed itself ii
an indisposition to do anything more
than was absolutely necessary. to drol
into a chair at every opportunity, t
stand laxly in the dining room instead OF
being brisk and alert, we became shift.
less servants.
We took every opportunity of show.
ing our resentment. We shuffled the sill
yer around SO as to polish it as little
as possible. The one who did the cham.
Der work filched black and white head.
ed pins. hairpins and other small arti-
cles, and. kept us all literally supplied
with towels and bed linen. We ordered
lnneeded desserts and ate them our
selves.
Just as our ethical tone wa, lowered.
SO, too. we became careless Of personal
cleanliness, Our mistress kept us to a
certain standard Of appearance, but we
were too tired and Indifferent to do more.
Even we two experimenters, after
five days, were sorely taxed to fore ,
ourselves to a bath at night, though we
were fortunately provided with a good
bathroom. But during all the time we
were there no II used the tub but tho
two CT us. They were too tired to begin
with; and they did not realize that q
bath would rest them. They had no
kimonos to wear through the hall and
were too tired to go through the mental
effort involved in planning how to get to
the bathroom without kimonos.
"A girl in this condition" continued
Miss Tanner, lis, not one who will plan
to better her condition. So they 60 as
they come, simply because the change
Of location is about the only change they
have.
What entertainment do the girls
have?' put in the questioner.
Their one thought is Of the ubieui-

and here is the trouble with the loves
of the working girl. She and her fellow
cannot become acquainted-really know
each ~other-under the usual conditions
With us there was not even the kitchen
for entertaining, for It was, in use till
9 or later and none Of the girls would
or could stand the stares Of the others.
So he had to be taken up to her room or
out upon the street. ll
What was the attitude OF your mis-
tress?" !. ,sy
She was not hardJhearted" declar.
ed Miss Tanner. But she was not doing
aiy of the physical work. Brain work is
more %exhausting, hour for hour. than
physical work, of course, but when YOU
consider that for about five hours Of
each day we were constantly carrying
trays which weighed as much as twelve
pounds when loaded 70 ucan see that The
mere duration of time Is q small part of
the story. The other gigrls were as am
as we were ana there was d procession
