Five Cents for Breakfast Is a Common Thing for Not a Few and There Are Those Who Can’t Spare Even a Nickel for Amuse- ment, Ice Cream or Soda Water. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. They are having sociological invest!- ations in Chicago to discover how @ girl Uves*on $8 a week or less, But 15,000 New York girls have decided that they aro tired of living on $8 @ week— or leas, They are striking members of the Children’s and Misses’ Dressmakers’ Union, and one of the things they are striking for is a 20 per cent. raise in pay, making a munificent average salary of $10 a week. However, that mecca ts yet to be ate tained, and to-day I made a little wi oMficial investigation of how @ girl lives on what imn't « living wage. Out of the thousands in Labor Temple I selected fifteen girls who might fairly be called typical, Their weekly wages range from $% for the lowest paid to $2 for the highest, They are all in their Inte ‘teens or early twenties—just the time when they ought to have some happiness in their lives and not too muoh work for thelr scarcely matured strength. TALKS WITH GIRLS WHO DO NOT LIVE WITH PARENTS. Purposely, I chose girls who do not live with thelr parents. The working girl who lives at home may have to! contribute a disproportionate amount) of her wages to the family income, but: I doubt if she often goes hungry, and| tt 1a certain that she has companionship and protection, However difficult her case, it cannot be so tragic as that of the girl with the small income who ts @ stranger among strangers. Moreover, it is much more essential that the girl, without a home to fall back on if sho ts 1 or out of work, should save some money. BUDGETS OF THE GIRLS WHO WORK FOR SMALL WAGES. Now for the budgets. Here's Pauline Briter's, Pauline makes $§ a week. She lives with friends, #0 she pays only $3 a week for a place to sleep and her supper and breakfast, Her dinners cost her $1.0, an average of 15 cents a day. You perceive that her mid-day meal must be of an elaborate nature. She wends $1 ry week to her moth Her carfare ts @ cents, That leav her exactly $2.85 for clothing, doctor's bills, recreation and “Sometimes, to buy me clothes, I have to save money out of my dinner,” says Pauline—tt's out of that 15-cent dinner, remember.

Her expenditure for clothes would seem to be nil. Rose Ganaler 1s hardly better off. Her weekly wage is $6. As she lives with friends, she gets her room and washing 50 & week, She spends 5 cents for breakfast, 15 cents for lunch, 20 cents for supper, making her food bill for the week $2.60. When the 6) cent carfare ts added to the other items, and the whole subtracted from $6, we find that Rose dresses on 30 cents a week, With @ salary of § a week, Surah Féelstein not only manages to support existence but she senda as much as $5 @ month to her mother in Russia, Sarah pays $22 @ month for room, sup- per and breakfast. The other two items he gavo me are carfare at 6 cents and lunches, $1.2. Apparently she, too, must are most economically to send away such a large proportion of her small in- come. Another girl who helps support an ab- eent parent is Sarah Bernstein. Out of her $7. a week she sends her fathor $1, She pays $3.50 a month for her room and $2.60 @ week for both supper 1d breakfast.
