New York. July i1.-There is
strong market just now for Japa-
nese servants. Quite few of them
are asking $50 a week and their
board. and have no trouble getting
it. The average wage is 500 a
month and board.
The Japanese is a good cook as a
rule. and he knows to jazz up a,
simple little dish with ribbons and
gee-gaws so that IL seems to have
been prepared by Old Man Epicure
himself. There are sixteen different
Japanese employment agencies scat
tered about the greater city.
The Japs never ask for a day of.
but 1t has been the experience of
most of their employers that their
term of service rarely lasts more
than a year. But while they stay
on the job they are dependable.
Over on a side street running of
OF Park avenue there is a Japanese
club. Its membership is composed
of servants and the clubhouse Is a
spacious affair, with billiard parlor,
large library and all the luxurious
equipment of the modern American
club.
The club members are the Wallets
of the rich bloods of the town-the
young men whose papas dropped
them into beds of roses and forbade
them to work. because it was vulgar
The astonishing part OF il is that
most of these fathers fathers used
to sell polecat skins, OF peddle fish
in the old New Amsterdam section.
A peep into the Japanese club at
night Is a most interesting sight.
The members are seated about the
leather divans- drinking scorching
hot tea and tanning themselves with
the collapsible fans they Invariably
carry in their coat pockets.
The bathrooms are always steam
ing hot. On the hottest day the
japanese take the hottest bath pos
sible. 1t is their idea of the only
way to keep cool There is a sec
ton on upper Madison avenue-the
new Ghetto-where there are a few
Japanese boarding houses. and the
pretty young Japanese girls live
there. In the evening they sit out
on the great stone stoops. but rarely
do they go to the movies or dance
halls like the American girls.
New Workers have been scanning the
highways and byways this week for
the dog with the twitching tail. To
the man who finds the dog a $1,000
bill will be presented. Here is the
ad from the Herald: "Lost-Irish ter
rior. Nervous twitch in tail. 81. 100
reward. III X"
During what is usually a mid-sum-
mer lull the great New York hotels
have suddenly discovered that they
are midrift of the biggest rush of bust
ness In history. The trade comes from
right in the city, too. The reason is
the high price OF apartments. The
well-to-do apartment renter has found
that he can have three rooms in tho
best hotel for about the same price as
five rooms in an ornate apartment He
gets more comfort in the hotel and
much better service. and has the adj
vantage of eating where he. pleases.
Consequently thousands of apartment
jewellers are deserving their apartments
for the hotels. 1t has caused a big
boom in summer business at the Wal
dorf. Aston, Ansonia, Claridge and
Plaza.

The Kiss.

Are you shaken, are you stirred,
By a whisper of love?
Spellbound to a word,
Does time cease to move,
Till her calm, gray eye
Expands to a sky,
And the clouds of her hair
Like storms go by?
Do the lips that you have kissed
Turn to frost and to fire?
Does hame-shot mist
Enwrap your desire.
Till back to their birth
Fade water, air, earth,
And the First Power moves
Over void and dearth?
So the elements return
Into the chaos of night,
Yet the hot flames burn;
They dazzle your sight;
And desire rules the world
Till it fails. goes by,
And death down is hurled
With ringing cry.
Such is love; for love is death.
A passion, shout,
The deep inbreath,
The breath roaring out,
And once it is done,
You must lie alone,
Without life, without love,
Poor flesh, poor bone
