A Titntljr Hint for I'etttcoatrd fiaflVmce

Within a year two of tho leading- jour

tho other in Chicago, made a somewhat
cursory ami superficial investigation Into
tho condition of our female wage-work

In addition to bein? paid next to nothing
lor their work, wero ill treated by their
sordid and inhuman employers. Nearly

that In ootoo cases their wajres at tho
end of tho week- wero materially re

tho condition of working girls in our
large cities, tho public in a general
way is already familiar with their
wron., bat I would ask, is it not timo
some thing wero dono to better it?
Is thero not somo way to put into
practical working that law laid down in
Holy Writ that tho laborer is worthy
Kt hire?
It occurs to mo that right here is a
rich field for those journals and periodi
cals in tho land that aro edited and con
ducted by women and devoted to tho
beat and highest interests of their sox.
I happen to know, however, from an ex
amination of most of them that they
utterly ignore this all-important sub
ject. In their efforts to "promoto the
advancement of women tho poor work
ing girl cuts a.most insignificant figure
md is very rarely if over mentioned.

wero lar.JJ. from a X'ullman palaco car

out shoeito tliclr xeet, ana tnis, says
tho Philadelphia Record, is how it hap
pened: On the Pennsylvania west-bound
express out of Pittsburgh in tho even
in? there wa.i an Unusually heavy travel
from New Yorl;. and at Pittsburgh it
wa necetary to attach an oxtra sleeper.
Tho prter selected for tho run was an
IZaitf rn route man, and ho discovered
sxn after tho train left tho'depot that
an old friend of hU was running on one
of tho regular ahead. Tho darkies met.
exchanged salutations and agreed, after
getting all their peoplo to bed, that it
would bo a good schemo to polish tho
passengers, shoes together in tho Tor-
ward car and spend tho balance of tho
nieht in a social chat with intervals de
voted to libatien from a pocket-flask.
Tho porter of tho extra gathered his
people's shoes together in a pil
low-caso threo Parisian petlto pairs
owned by young ladles of Cincinnati en
route hose from Europe, four pairs of
matronly gaiters and eleven pairs of
various styles and sizes belonging to the
men In the car. Ho took them forward
to his chum's car, each shoo carefully
chalked with tho number of tho berj.
and tho two guardians of the slumber
ing pas.ser.gers had a genial time to
gether, so pleasant a time, in fact, that
it was nearly daybreak when it occurred
si tho porter of the extra that it would
bo well to tako up his people's shoes
and get back to his own car.
Ho went back, but his car had van
ished! To say that ho. turned white
with astonishment would bonoexogger-
ation. Tho Cincinnati car had been
switched at Columbus, and the Cincin
nati passengers shoes wero spinning
along at fifty miles an hour toward In
dianapolis, on tho St. Louis section of
tho Vandalia express. Tho porter felt
the gravity of tho situation so far as be
was concerned, and at the next stop
ping station ho disappeared rapidly to
ward tho east with a pillow-case full of
shoes over his shoulder. Tho passen
gers did not discover their loss untibthe
breakfast hour, and tho comical surprise
ran better be imagined than described.
They reached their homes in carriages
with slih:iy soiled hosltty.
