Another Trouble is That the Maids

[By William Philip Simms, Paris Cor

PARIS, May 30.-That the invasion
sible for the deplorable state of the
servant institution here, is the open
charge brought by directors of en-
ployment agencies. The Americans
deny the charge and blame. the stage.
Whichever way the scales turn the
fact remains that a servant famine
of dire dimensions is on.

able sleeping quarters, big tips in ad-
dition to regular pay, treatment &C
corded as to a member Of the fam
fly, commissions on household sup
plies and what not, are some of the
things the natives claim Americans
give their servants, whereas the usual
French family doesn't pay big wages
and is very strict with the household
help. Special food is usual for serv-
ants instead of the same as that
which adorns the masters table.

an open hand full Of gold with the in

All classes of servants are demand

ter treatment. Even SO, housekeep-
ers are complaining that good serv-
ants are getting scarcer and scarcer.
Country girls are brought to the city
only to be spoiled through contact
with other servants already learned
in city ways.
Nowadays, the girl who Is willing
to do laundry work and other coarser

to do but draw big wage and spend
it, unless, indeed it be to travel about
the world four or five months of the

Old American settlers here admit
that there is considerable justice In
the Frenchman's charges. They are
having the same trouble as the ma
tives have, they say, and they attrib-
ute it to the lavish spending habits Of
their American compatriots. They
add, however, that at present the

There is undoubtedly serious

Duray American Born.


Arthur Duray, (Peugeot generally
passes off as Frenchman. In real
ity he is a Belgian, though he might
claim to be an American, having been
born in New York City. Most of his
life has been spent in FRANCE, how
ever.
Everybody knows Duray and every
body likes him. He is big, hearty
fair man, who does no. seem to have
care In the world, and who will put
a car through long race with the
dash and vim Of boulevard excur-
sion.
For number Of years he belonged
to the Lorraine Dietrich team, COM
peting in practically every country OF
Europe. In the 1907 French grand
prix he led Navarro, until within 20
miles OF the finish, when broken
ball bearing put him out. Returning
to the pits with whoop and laugh,
he appeared just as joyous as If he
had won.
Since Lorraine-Lietrich went out
Of racing, Duray has driven for var
ious firms. Among others, he took
big Delage in the grand prix de
France, last year, and finished fifta.
Later he established the worlds kiio-
meter record OF 1889 miles an hour
at Ostend, with 800 horse power

He knows however, what it is capable
