course it is. That is the heart-breaking
thing about il all. When a person Is
trying to live on a wage which never
suffices it takes all ones energies.
Take the case Of that girl of whom
Miss Packard told, who assisted her
landlady in order TO reduce her board.
She worked long hours in factory
full days work for any one. But was
that all she did? No. She arose at S
o'clock in the morning to assist with
the housework before going to the fac
tory. At night she helped with the
work again. She did not even have a
bed to herself, let alone q room. She
shared her bed with two children OF
the family. Now. how, | ask you, can
that girl be expected TO have energy
enough TO care anything about union
or anything else? When one gets down
to certain standard Of living one sim
ply lives-one does not hope or think
or believe.
"of course, there are times when the
workers show that they understand sol
idarity. Right now there is q strike on
at the Kent Bag Company, in Brooklyn.
Sixty girls went out last Friday. There
are women who have worked there for
fifteen years without any increase in
pay. They stood it, even when the in
crease in the cost Of living went up, but
when a cut Of IS per cent was made in
their pay they went out. These were
the piece workers. But the girls who
were working by the week went out
with them. Three girls Of one family
worked in that factory. They made
SIS a week each, and they supported
the family. How many do you suppose
there are in the family7 Elevenl How
do they live on SIS week! You can
figure it out, perhaps.
81 feel there must be another method
Of distributing wealth before matters
will be really right. What can be done
right now! Well, as | have been say
ing, the workers can organize. And an
other thing which seems might be done
would be to have the municipality con-
duct stores. OF course, the merchants
would complain that that worked a
hardship on them. To obviate that, it
might be possible that there should be
law that only a certain amount should
be charged for any necessity of life.
II 1t is right in England because there
is war to make il impossible for
more than certain amount to be de-
manded, why is it not right here? All
the hardships are no: of war. The
finding of this Factory Commission
proves that in times of peace condi-
tons can be intolerable for many
workers"

vice. The girls from Poland are re-
liable, Industrious and rather serious
minded. They make excellent SER
wants. Girls from Sweden and Finland
seem to have little difficulty finding
employment in the better class of do
nestle service. Bohemian girls prove
excellent workers in a number of in
dustries. French girls seldom come as
immigrants. They are usually skilled
in some form of work and have little
difficulty in finding employment
through the various French societies.
Lettish girls, from Kurland, on the
Baltic Sea, are ambitious and thrifty,
many of them becoming dressmakers
and embroiderers.
The Russian immigrant girls present
the most difficult problem. They have
always been man-driven, and are pa
tient burden bearers. They are dis
couraged from acquiring knowledge by
the men-fathers, brothers or cousins
with whom they live. The Syrian girls
compose the second largest institute
group, and they are employed almost
entirely in the needle trades"
Many beautiful examples Of the
girls work are on exhibition at the
institute, including interesting Greek
drawn lace work; also a collection Of
dolls dressed in many Of the national
costumes by the girls.

Greenwich Village Primps Itself

winner.
There is no other part Of New York
like Greenwich Village. o. Henry knew
its charms and wrote of its 'souatty
three story bricks as he called its old
houses. Many of these houses have
handsome panelled doors and low, wide
windows. II those doors we're painted
white and the windows were decorated
with blooming plants in summer and
boxwoods and English ivy in winter
the charm Of Greenwich Village would
be enhanced. Each house which adds
these touches teaches the houses near
it how to make the most of their good
points. That is why we are going TO
have this Block Beautiful contest"
Landscape Architects To Be Judges.
Mr.. Carl PLAT, landscape architect of

Harold Capern, also landscape archi-

groups are important on the pro-
gramme for this year
The girls are divided into groups
according to their nationality, and the
workers have found different general
characteristics.
The largest of the national groups
are Italians-gentle, sweet tempered
and eager to learn, as rule. The
Greek girls are fifth in point Of num-
bers; they are intelligent and indus
trious. The Italian and Greek girls,
the majority Of whom live with rela-
tives, are well guarded by the male
members of the family, and often
brothers or cousins accompany the
girls on their first visit to the insti-
tute, obviously for the purpose Of in
vestigation.
Hungarian girls are faithful attend
ants at the institute. They are usually
employed at cigar and cigarette max
ing. embroidery and dressmaking, but
a number are also in domestic SER

rage license is all that is required to
make her a wife. When he has de-
serted her at the end of year she is
deported from the city hospital with
her fatherless child. She passes
through the gates at Ellis Island again,
and this time she is a sad, disillusioned
woman.
The third course is opened 10 her
by the international Institute of New
York City. The object of the institute
is to mother" young immigrant girls
of all nationalities until they are
fitted for making a living. 1t is TO
prevent also the catastrophies that
happen when girls like Carmelita land
penniless and friendless.
Last year four thousand girls were
visited by the committee which OBJ
tains from Ellis Island the names of
immigrant girls who come alone to
this country. One of the committee
who speaks the girls own language
gives her the advice and warnings she
will need Immediately in her dealings
with her own countrymen and other
interruptions persons.
Model Apartments for Immigrant Girls
The institute has furnished model
tenement house. 1t has it divided into
apartments consisting of two bath
rooms, two kitchens, four bedrooms,
with two beds, and a pleasant COM
mon sitting room, where the girls are
encouraged TO have their friends visit
them. Each apartment is presided
over by q house mother, and lodges
eight girls at a time. The girl pays
dollar a week for her lodging, does her
own cooking and helps keep the apart
ment in order. The apartments are al
ways occupied and here are many
waiting for the place of the girl who
leaves to take a position.
every girl drawn out Of a life OF
loneliness into a cheerful home life
is a girl saved, mentally and morally"
ia the slogan of the institute. The
committee in charge hopes to enlarge
the home soon in order to care for
many who are waiting for a vacancy.
Find Positions for Many.
They have no employment bureau
but through their wide influential ave-
uues they placed two hundred girls in
rood positions last year, and are doing
even better this year. The domestic
servant situation is now under care
fu! study, and they hope to bring
about a better understanding between
employer and employe. The girls are
giyen instruction in the laws Of the
country and are taught the language.
The teachers generally employed are
sympathetic women who speak the Ian
guages of the girls they teach. Through
these teachers, while they are learn
ing English. they receive practical in
struction in their own language, so
that no time is lost. The course in
eludes elementary English, geography
American history and health talks.
They hear lectures on the care Of the
eyes and teeth, on diet, bathing. ven
.iIstion and exercise. They are given
lessons IN economy and housekeeping.
Lectures and instruction given in the
