If there is any connection between
low wages and vice, the Boston Store
ought to be a splendid place for the
devil to make his headquarters.
For the employees Of the Boston
Store receive lower basic wage that
is paid by any store on the street.
Of course they have P. M. (pin
money! system.
And girl goes to work in the base
ment at wage of 50 a week-and
P. MS.
Two dollars a week is supposed to
be divided by six to get the average
for one days work, since it is under
stood that Sunday work is something
an employe donates to the firm.
That gives the girl a wage of al
most "a cents a day, and P. MS.
But the girl in the basement is re-
quired to spend half a day in the
stockroom, and of course she doesn't
earn P MS in the stockroom, she
just fixes the stock.
Sometimes she pins stockings to-
gether, sorts them into pairs and
fastens them together with stickers
that are always sticking into her fin
gers until the fingers are so sore that
they occasionally swell. And for this
mornings work, she receives less
than II cents; or a trifle over 4 cents
an hour
There are quite few girls in the
Boston Store that never open their
books, throughout the day. Not ev-
cry day, of course-some- days they
are real lucky, and sometimes they
average as much as So in P. MS a
week over that salary of 81.
OF course at Christmas time, the
rush season, the girls make big
money. Why, one or two Of them
made as high as SIS a week.

about it as follows:

of the Dakotah tribe, told a Brooklyr
Institute audience last night some or
the legends and customs Of her PEG,
pie, and sang a few Of the native
songs. The little lecturer was most
interesting, but the part which should
have left the deepest impression was
that in which Floating Cloud. as he;
name is translated, told of the Indian
manner Of greeting.
"If we only said, Good morning,
when we met a friend at SUNRISE"
she explained, eve said it with a
laugh; a genuine hearty laugh, not "a
mere lackadaisical smile. We though
that was the best way in the worlo
to start the day. Try yourself begin
