- rofined THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY,: OCTOBER 5, 1873, THE WORKING-GIRL QUESTION., Bhell Sewing and Shop Girls Bo into Housework? A Disoussion of the Domestic- Labor Question. Impracticability of the Social-Equal- ity Theory. o Lottors from Working-Girls, and from an Employer of Such Girls, Prior to tho prosont monoy-panto, which, in ita effocts, has mnde all classes kin, & quostion which soemod to bo attracting tho attontlon .of difforant mombora of socioty was that of a Homo for Worling-Womon, 1t drow forth varying opinfone from the class partioularly intorosted, as woll ns from others who folt like spesking tholr minds upon tho subject. Some, nrgulng that many of tho avenues open for theso gitls were overcrowded, suggested that thoy should reliovo tho surplus numbers who ‘wero appealing ' for work in thoso quartors by taking places s TOUSELOLD-ABBIGTANTA,~~ iy thue smoothing ovor thounplessant appellation of | gorvant, This drew forth,for tho mest part,unqual- ifiod protost from tho persons addrossod. Thoso who suggested this course to them ng providing & good home and four wages, from which they could save something, are sufforing from the | caroloss, slovonly, wasteful sorvant, who seowms | to bo an outgrowib of the timos, tho reckloss oxtravaganco of which lma apparently passed d from ho mistress to tho maid. No doubt thoro are many of tho applicants for moro genteol worlk, a8 thoy would call it, who, in overy way, | would be better suited for the rough worlk of the _houschold than for that of a clork; but thieso i are, most of thom, of forcign birth, and accept positions which nono would care to seo held by ' any young person in whom thoy wero particular- ly intorosted. Not that we would wish to cast an instont's repronch upon the accident of thelr birth, for it is.only of the ronghor, anoducated elomont of whom. we Bponk, and of whom we have fower among us, " Yot! theso aro the same cluss, or & portion of thom,: who ore already in our kitchens, and, from their Ignorance and carclossness, aro making house- kooping almost an impossibility to tlio present: gonoratton, They would but add another brigado to the present army of incompotents, and tho solo uso of thom in thnt line would botlic chance of loworing tho prico of thoir very crude, un- skilled labor, As for the ARMY OF BEWING-GIRLS, - tions of tho lower niomboers, " they aro simrly Jano, an even granting that they wero willing to accept situations a3 domestic help, of what uso would they bo? Au & class, thoy know' nothing of housohold Inbor; and; oven if they did, thoy would scarcoly have tho strength fo por: form it., Aost people who would employ puch o girl, and accept’ her as an equal, would be of that olass of so- cloty who would require one sorvant for gen- eral housework, Now, if persons employ help for goneral housework, it gonerally moans that #£hey do not intend to do the heavy portion of tho work thomeelves. How many girls who are earning perheps oven & mero livelihood by tho needlo would bhave the strongth to indertake henvy washings, ironings, or sorubbings, io soy nothing of cooking, dish-washing, nad sweop- ing? Thoreisa cortain portion of housowork that is not objoctionable, which may bo called 1o esthetic part,—~holding tho snmo relation= ohip to the conrser dutics tbat whip-syllabub does to cornod-beef and cabbage* Much’ of it, however, is DISGUBTINGLY VILE ; and no postical whitewashing can make it any- thing elso, Yet somo porsous pretond 1o open theireyes in wonder that suy human being should profer scaut living, but possiblo cleanliuess, toa full stomach and undoubteddirt. * But thore is pothing dirty in houeework, und it is woman's sphore,” snys the grand autoernt of o emall monnge and limited menns, who profers a protty, fnco to n coarse ono; or the signor of larger income, who fancies that an ethereal cook nngsplrimclln waitross would ndd zest to the food they preparo and servo, A vory fa-sound- ing assortion, and, like many anothor of ite kind, without a surplus of truth, \\'nsluu% grensy pota and psus, ecrubbing floors, and blacking stoves, is cortainly vary dirty, disagrocablo work, and, if us Jordship could only try it occasion- ally, ho might alter his opinion in the matter. Needlowork, on_tha contrary is clean, It is fotigning, oud, if pursued incessantly for o longth of timo in & close, ill-vontilated room, is undoubtedly prejudicial to healeh ; but the perzon to whom neatuess is a requisite may be taiutily clean whilo 8o engaged. ‘Lhis, if’ sho took housgworl upon herself, would bo simply gn jmpossibility, “‘Thero would bo times when the demornlization of dirt would bo dreadful, 1t doos not seem altogether strange to us, then, that, oven in the facoof all competition such gixls have to oucountor, the hard worlt and poor Py, lhu{ should still prefor tidy, clesnly work to untidiness and dirt ; for, in order to keep o house cloan, ono must frequently o a victim to the first, and constautly do buttla with tho last. A rogards taking thoso girls into one's fami- E{n oven if they woro willing to como, it would loubtlees prove a vory fair theory and A YERY IMPRACTICABLE PRACTICE, In o thoroughly refiued nnd cnltured home, where they would bo treated woll, most of thom areuld be quito out of placo a8 mombors of the family, Betting nsido all tho little speoinlties of social etlquetto which any ono with braing woutd readily sequire, how would thoy assimilato in re- apoct to mantal oultura? Whint 18 tho clags of cending mostly patronized by theso girle? Isit uot the sickly, sentimental, abnormal trash of tho mnajority of tho wockly newspapers, from whilch $hoy got tho most absurd idons of highor gpocial grades, and which would uttorly unfit them for any Posltion not atrictly dofined in o household ? ~ Then how would it work with tho family themsolves ? - Would it not, even if tho droam could be renlized, bo & constant uuisance, having a strangor within one's gates ? All tho privacy of onc's home-life would bo one were it possible to_admit such an clement Fnlo its iuner circle, It would bo acoustant rostraint upon that froodom of intercourse whicl is only possible smong those whoso inter- osts ave identical, and who are closcly related by tho nearcst tics, Wo do not supposo there is any one living whowould be particularly auxious tohave » window oponed into his heart, that this friend and nsslstant pro tom, might amuso herself by gazing f.hrou% . Yot, in families who have grown up togothor, each is more or 1ess clairvoyant regarding tho uthori and the would utter without hesitation thoughts to oacl other, or diecusa possibilitios aud probabilities, swhiols it would bo out of tho question todo if an alien oloment ia to bo introduced. “Dut the clomont shounld not bo alion,” say theso progrossive poople.

Buppose you aod 4tho alion do not amalgamato, what s to bo dono thon? Is ono to go on trying until the propor ingrodiont that would bo soluble in one’s Bpecial frgmdly spirit_is fonnd? d how would one find out? Would it bo proper to trot out tho family-skeleton and put it iu view till the right damsel shonld arrive, who would view it with approciative oyes and o sympathetio heart? Of course this thing would be QUITH OUT OF TB QUESTION, Wa do not muko such displays to thoso whom wo moat on torms of socisl and (ntellcctual oquality, They are company, and that is what our help would be undor such clroumatances, It would nnli unm;nlunto our rolationship, aud mako it awkward for all parties, Whilo tho world exiats, thero must be those who are born to be served, and those whoso lob it will bo to servo. If thoso who soryed ud woro people whom we could moot on a social oquality, then wo shonld feel annoyed at oxacting such sorvice ; sud yot, if we took a youug })emou in our famlly to tultill tho dutios of n wal tross, wo should not went to get up from tho tablo to wolt upon ourselves; but if Miss Brown, who haw lefi bLor noodle on her coun- tor to como nnd paeist ug in that way, wero soated at our tabjo with us, would It nof socm out of character for hor to loave it to fotch and carxy?

Is this, however, o posi- tion LIKELY TO DE MUCH DESIRED by those, who, whatever thoir daily toil, bave ot 1east, whon their work is done, the privilege of doing o8 tuufipluue with the romainder of~ that time; who if they live in an attio, hold, at least o8 loug a8 hmy can pay for it, undisputod right to it, and, for tho timo boing, feel a cortain senso of propriotorship ? Swmall and vague it moy be, it is still worth some- thing ; and, unfortunato a8 tho freedom to use her avonings a8 she pleases moy bo to many of theso girls who are lodged and fod by sirangers, still, with eociety in its prosont state, wo aro doubtful if any changa could be effected, in or- der to bring them into our housoliolds, that wonld act bonoflclally to elthor party. That it would bo desirable to surround theso gitls with the benoficont influonces of A PLEASANT, VIRTUQUS TOME, admits of no question. That they can Lo in- ducad to leavo thoir cloan work for dirty kitch- on-work, admits of much doubt. Even if tho status of such labor could bo raised, aud made to scgm what they would cousider wgonteel,” it i doubtful _if they would make the oxchango, We _ want - differont order of things undoubtedly ; but, in all positions, wo want what wo do not’ got, and that §8 trainod help.

The oman who oould receive them on n social equality would not, and she who is thoir suporior in cul- tura could not even wore she quite willing. Tho place would bo full of difffoulty to both parties. The one, with her hend too ofton filled with son- timenta) romance, and vaguo ideas of how the maid in tho mendow married tho man on the mountain-top, would feol sadly out of place, and would very lzo?uontly not bo willing to subside into quiet,—toliston and loarn, 8ho \vlm,thmuih o botter manner of bringing up, would perhaps bo companionable, would shrink with tho anmo dis- gust as hor mistress from tho dirty Iabor of tho household, and would probably not beve the ;)hynlcnl- stamina to attack and overcomao tho nhorious portion of it. That many of those girls might chango advantageously their present ositions to become parlor-maids or senmtresses yn o privato family, especielly ono of mederate incoine, i8 perhinps true ; bub tho wholo systom of labor would neod to bo raised in order to in- duco thom to como.

THE BTOCK-EXONANGE CLOBURE, Many persous are ocurious to know whother the Exchange bag over boen cloged bofore to ar- rost auy monctary cxcitoment; the assortion baving been mado that it had proviously been shut. When Prosident Lincoln wos assnssi- nated the Board adjourned, ostousibly out of re- gord to the memory of tho Chief Exeoutive ; ronlly to provent a panic, scriously threatened by tho loss of the political hoad of the nation. On that day gold advanced 20 per cont, and the Exchange would have been the scone of rulnous fluctuntions, eave for the procautionary inter- mission, But this waa tho first timo tho Board has suspended oporationa in the midst of a pan- io for tho purpose of self-preservation. Tho ox- smplo of Vienna was followed, and with good rogults. DOOMED TO PATLURE. Tverything lias its comieal side, however se- rious or slorming the thing may bo in itself. There have been many droll and entertaining in- cidents connectod with the late financial agita- tion, A retired morchant, somowhnt advancod in lifo, hnd some 30,000 doposited in the Union Trust Company when it stopped. Ho mentioned 80 ropeatedly to his friends that ho had falled that ono of them asked him how much he thought he could psy on tho dollar. “*Iden't owa suything,” bo roplied; “but, 88 all my roady monoy is locked up in a susponded con- cern, I must have failod, of course. But, since I have como to roflect on it, I don'tsoo that I have, either. A man that Las no debts can’t fail—can ho? Really, I nover thonght of that. I am delighted to know I havo made o mistake. 1 am solvent, aftor all.” INTEUVIEWING EXTRAORDINARY, The nuisance thet interviowing has become is known to and felt by every human being, ex- ocopt, porhaps, tho interviewer himsolf. Binco the panic began, some of tho most extraordipary intorviews have heon printod by the pross.

Intoill- gont and exporionced bank-officora haye boen ropresentod as gibberingiidiots on tho subjeot of financo, and voteran speoulntors as ignorant of tho rules of trado as crackers of stono on the publio highway. ‘Usually roportors hore are satisfiod to diatort what their victim says, or ot most to put into his mouth words ho hns not uttered. Tho latost do- vuloymont transconds nil this.
