There is a great deal more hon- or in being a good domestic than a poor typewriter. And I am saying this in he kindliest spirit.

Altered conditions have ne- cessitated the cutting down of em- ployes, Those who have been retained most able; only the less capabla and. the incompetent have been let ga. And it is the same with the eclerks. . . . Another bit of mnonsense that has peen advanced is that typewriters and clerks are not fitted for domestic ser- ce; that they don’'t know how to de housework. If it were not the & themselves who say this I would get axcited and incite them to everlasting grudge against those whe would se malign them. For a woman to say that she does not know hqw to do house- work is to confess that she is sadly lacking in intelligence and that she dis absolut destitute of common sense. it is as natural for a woman to Know how to keep house as it is for a monkey to climb a e. 1 will admit house better tham is nothing to prevent the inferior housekeepers becom- ing the better housekeepers, provided will - exercise their intelligence nd apply their common Sense "It takes as much “head” 0 d® housework ~properly as it does to typewrite a letter.

But there those who are Another objection made to domestic service 'is that the work is too hard for girls .who have been used to the lighter labeor of clerking. That is an objection that must muve been made without thinking From 8 in the morning till 6 at night., with half an hour for lunch, are the clerk’s hours. And she works continuously and witheut interruption. Where is the girl in domestic service who works as continuously and so hard? As a domestic she has only one persen to please; as a clerk it Is a centinual stream of people, and each one wants something different, and what is warse some do not know what they want. There is no harder labor than pleas- ing a multitude. Housework is regular work. Each day has its duties. A good domestia is allowed to arrange them to suit her- self. And if she will allow her mis- tress to consult her in the matter of managing the house she graduates at once from a “servant” to a “treasure.” ¢ e e Now. girls, you who need work. who must work, and in spite of what I and others have tried to tell you, still ob- jeet ‘to housewerk. be sensible, try it.

Father Cnnhc" said that the resi- dents of Telegraph Hill were unwilling to have the Chinese locatéd where the people have to pass through Chinae town to cross the bay. Abraham Ruef in reply stated that suggestions for the Chinese to locats east of Telegraph Hill or at Hunters Point - had been unfaverably re- ceived by the Chinese themselves; that they themselves were inclined to returm to their old site, and that the white property owners there were urging them fo return. In view of all these circumstances there did not seem any prospect of a change. Personally he was in favor of asking that the com- mittee be discharged from further re- sponsibility. The general committee will meet on Monday at Century Hall and will proo- ably take this action. The committee is composed of A. Ruef, James D. Phelan. Jeremiah De- een, Dr. Jimes W. Ward and Dr. Thomas Filben. —— g TWO SISTERS BECOME BRIDES ON THE SAME AFFERNOON Garden City Merchants Lead the Pop= ular Weleh Girls to the Altar.
