morning on the subway or the L. Almost be-
fore your awed and dazzled eyes the miracle
has been performed 1t partakes of the super
natural, il is not to be bclieved-but it is so.
The stad little stenographer of Friday even
ing, in her white shirtwsist and dark blue
skirt, and her big sailor with its plain ribbon
band-where is she? You look for her in vain,
She has been whisked away, and in her stead
is a naughty young Parisienne, silly and frllly,
all smile and style Gowned in an oid-rose
Georgette crepe, six yards around the bottom
of the skirt, with basque waist and net-o'-
gold sleeves no mortal being could be expected
to work in, she enters, and Immediately as
sumes the twelve inches Of subway space ord-
narily destined for three persons. The brim
of her WIDE watermelon-striped hat saws
against the pit of your stomach as you stand
by her, and the point of her pale pink mush-
room parasol is set firmly upon your foot.
Princesses can't be expected to notice.
All around are her sisters, in organdie and
wolfe and batiste, in shirred rainbows, and
peated sunsets, and founced paint pots. They
are a sight to turn sick with envy the hearts
of other women who have every afternoon off,
pitiable mlionairesses, to whom Saturday
means nothing in particular. The clothes Of
none of them bear any remote resemblance TO
the uniform that society women like to plan
for the benefit of the working girl.
They aren't working girls, in fact. They
are waiting girls on Saturday morning, to the
last one of them, and the busy Offices and shops
of the city are nothing more than transfer
stations for Coney Island and other trains
Twelve o'clock, which sounded Cinderella's
taps, is to be the reveille for these up-to-date
sisters of hers. At noon they will be free to
resume the fairy-prince hunt Meanwhile they
serve by standing and waiting.
And that is the abuse ! mentioned to begin
with-at last | have got down to it. The
Cinderellas ought to have the entire Saturday
off. No fairy princess can keep in good form
with only half day week the job. 1t
isn't reasonable to expect it.
The economic gain in having the girls ap-
pear at the offices and the shops on Saturday
morning is strictly nil. Their employers admit
it. One of them told me that stenograpner
who is model of photography the rest of the
week always spells separate with three e's and
response with a &C after 10 o'clock on Saturday
morning. He doesn't dare use those words
that day-and it serves him right, I'm sure.
No woman can be expected to do anything more
portentous than to powder her nose while
waiting at transfer station for Coney
Island train.
And think of the total risk involved in this
vast city in subjecting all that conglomerate
finery TO the dust and disaster Of a working
day world! 1t makes thoughtful person
shudder to think of it. Why, mere careless
office boy with cowlick might step on one of
those chiffon panners, or the pink parasol

TNHERE'S new crying abuse being per-
petrated against the working girls Of
the city. No labor agtator has &C.
cried it, no suffragist orator has denounced it,
no friend of the people has legislated against
it. But the evil is there. 1t is preventing our
shopgirls and stenographers from being the
modern Cinderelas they ougheto'be.
Cinderella wasn't so smart, you know. With
out the aid of her fairy godmother her pump
kins would have remained merely squashes,
and she would never in the world have accom-
plshed her metamorphosis from dishwasher to
debutante Everything was done for her. She
would have died dour old maid if the en-
chanted matchmaker hadn't led the fairy prince
upon the scene. And she never mastered the

by when he was not minded TO drop her. That
was quite illogical, | took the trouble to ex-
plain to him. The thing to do, obviously, was
to drop Saturday forenoon from the Office cal
endar. re-
The economic loss occasioned by having the
girls work on the sixth day of the week was
proved even better by another case in point.
An employer, the head of the advertising de-
partment in large store, told me that his
cleverest woman "ad" writer one Saturday
morning when she had on a new blue char
meuse had set down the price of Partisan
opera wraps, or some such article at As cents,
or similar price, for Monday morning sale.
1t went to the papers just as she wrote it, and

Of Repairing Bulkhead
Costs Reclamation Service
Dear; Water Users Order
PAYMENT of White

Declaring the onus for damages

tension during the January high
waters, lay upon certain reclamation
officials, the board Of governors of
the Water Users association yester-
day authorized the payment of 49,,

right to protest against the inclus-
ion of this item in the project cost.
1t was on the report of Il board
of appraisal that the board author
lied the payment of the damages to
the owner and his tenants. on a
ranch that was badly disorganized
when river water invaded the old
Grand Canal heading. broke through
into the extension and wiped ont GER
tain fertile fields. 1t was stated on
reliable authority that il would re-
quire $50 600 in all to repair what
the board termed negligence ON the
part of the reclamation service. OF
this sum, nearly ten thousand con-
sists of the bill of damages; the re-
mainder will be required to pay for
constructing Il new canal mile
long, in part through a deep rock
cut. This will be necessary to re-
place that part of the extension dis
abled and swept away by the flaod
waters.
Delay in repairing a bulkhead, de-
signed to separate the extension from
the upper stretch of the old canal

been sent to replace the bulkhead, il

The Obnoxious Slate

We understand that there is division of opinion
among republican leaders in this to whether
the coming state for the selection of dele
gates to Chicago convention should concern itself
with the question of candidates for the state offices
1t is proposed by some slate should be agreed
upon in Tucson convention and that the state or
ganzation should. therefore, be placed behind the
candidates determined upon, who would therefore
be given an impetus that would work their great
advantage the primaries, over other republicans
who might have political aspirations.
If this thing should be done believe the repub
can organization will have made serious, tactical
mistake that will against the party the cam
paign. The slate obnoxious to the people even
under old convention system. 1t was necessarily
product of the machine. 1t would be regarded
slap in the face of the people who have adopted
the primary system in order to destroy the machine
should be up within the party to deter
mine the result at the primary, it may be expected
that they would try smash its productive slate -

We think the republican convention will do well

for it on May 6, and then await further instructions
from the members of the party.
