We can pass rapidly with only a

The spenders. thinking to help the
little girl along, toss careless ten
dollar bills to the pretty maids. But
the pretty maid, alas to remark, gets
$35 week-or thereabouts-for her
services, though some commission is
likely to find its way to youngsters
who are particularly adept at getting
the money. OF course, the night-go-
ing throngs get the notion that the
hat check girl is on her way to quick
fortune. AS matter Of fact, she is
separated from her ten-spot almost
as soon as she has clutched 1t in her
hand.
Because OF the vast number Of
public events going on In q thousand
places during New York day and
night. the hat check racket has to be
q thoroughly organized industry. A
single hotel may be housing a dozen
luncheons Multiply this by few
hundred hotels; consider that each
has an individual hat check stand;
then multiply this by all the dances,
teas, fetes. evening banquets, meet
ingS, socials and whatnot-and you
may get some idea of the tremendous
territory covered, and the amount Of
money turned over in single u
| hours.
To be sure. these concessions must
be bought, paid for and gambled on.
Hence big money Is required TO do the
financing.

It would remind you of-Niagara Falls. The sidewalk is covered with dirt in some places an inch thick since the last rainfall in May. The property owners on Trinity street try to keep their places in good condition. but we get disccur- aged when we look at that school yard. It is true that the School Board did put in a catch basin to take care of some of the storm water but to my knowledge it has been full of dirt for . year and not a drop of water has gone through it. I spoke to the powers that be on the School Board about it but l didn't get much satisfaction. How is it that the school board it not com pelled to take care of storm water when the poor property owners are ?
