Social Relations Different.

| According to the present system
| there is no social status for the hired
girl. She is neither part of the fam
lily nor an outcast, but is dreadfuly
| cramped between the two. In some
instances she is never spoken to eX-
cept in the way of command, and as
for sympathy from her employer, the
employer is so busy at the front end
of the house there is little time for
it.
under right conditions | would as
soon do kitchen and house work if |
was as well fitted for the house as for
the office and do not believe | speak
for myself alone. There is many d girl
who is not fitted for office work who
ought to be doing the other and would
do it with credit to herself and Joy to
the family she would be serving, but
is doing work in a manner that does
not warrant best pay in the line she
follows in preference to taking a home
job under existing conditions, even
though she would be well fitted for the
home work and would enjoy it.
Suggests Remedy
There is a remedy for this-the
elimination of social distinction be-
tween the family and the hired girl,
and in fact, white standard of per
sonal worth, and character left to her
as it is left to us who serve in an Of
flee or store. If | were in some ones
kitchen instead of in an office, | would
be a part of the household machinery
and perhaps never mentioned outside
of the kitchen except as we have very
efficient help, and would not like to
lose her" And they would have said
as much for a black woman or some
one who does not aspire to as much
character as ! possess"
incidentally it may be of interest to
state that the writer of this letter as
serted her unftness for household

Louis Wsinrop of Norfolk who de-
clared he had been offered $1,000 by

to seize Tllaw when he entered the
court room yesterday, overpower his
guards and rush him out of the state
in an auto.
Thaw was in the court room less
than five minutes yesterday. Justice
Hendricks then postponed Until today
