They Find PoKitlons Eally Although They Arrive at the Rate of 2000 Per Week. When the newspapers announced last Wednesday morning that the White Star liner Cymric had reached port with 7S0 Irish girls aboard many a housewife head ed for the battery In the hope of ccttlng a good cook, maid or nurse. But while Irish, lassies are coming to New York now at the rate of. 2000 a week they are a van ishing import and not 3 per cent of them are in the market for employment. In the first place, eays the New York Sun, one must subtract the number that arrive here with railroad tickets or pass age money to take them to other parts I of the United States. As nnn n th.ev have passed the immigration oxnclals tee? start on their inland journey. Then there' are those who are booked for New York and have relatives and friends to receive them. They are held at Ellis 'Island until 5 o'clock. When their relatives or friends call and satisfy the officials that all is right the immigrants are turned over to them. There remain then the girls whose rela tives have failed to call for them and such have no relatives and friends here.

The girla are brought to New York and housed in the mission building at 7 State street. Here friends can call for them up to 10 o'clock at night. The house can accommodate about 50 girls. That is more than the number uncalled for as a rule. When the Cymric got In last Tuesday with her big cargo of girls all were taken away by relatives except 35. These the Rev. Anthony J. Grogan escorted to the mission house, where they -were lodged and fed without cost. By noon on Wednesday all had departed, in charge of friends, but one. In the mean time the doorbell was kept ringing all day by women who came from all parts of New York seeking servants. On the door of the mission house was this sign: WE HAVE NO SERVANTS. It Cld not appear to act as a deterrent, for women who came by street car, in carriages and in automobiles read it and calmly rang the bell Just the same, argu ing, woman-like, that it wasn't meant for them. On the priest's desk In the office inside were many letters saying, "Send me a good sirl at once," or "I would like a first-class nurse girl right away." "We can't fill one in twenty of the ap plications that come to us in this way," said Father Grogan. "The girls -who are booked for New York are, of course, the only ones available, and they prefer to go 26 Pat Reasons Why Ptadent, Observant People Should Gather at This Reliable Stote Today And There Ate Many Othets This Is Not a "Ptfssle Page" tXMz wrong end to, Iind end before or cornerwise to find the values.

Of course, we don't argue It with them; yet often, when 1 see a clean, bright girl going away with friends who have not these Qualities, I wonder if her future life would not be brighter If she camo to America without a single friend to greet her. "There is plenty of employment always for Irish girls in domestic service, be- cause they make the best servants.

The ocean liners bring about 2000 Irish girls a week during that period. Then the number falls off for tho rest of the year. "We make no charge for the care of the girls, whether they are with us a few hours or for three days. We take them away from the mixture of nationalities and classes on the island, and they appre ciate it, and often, long afterward, we get donations from girls who remember the kindness shown them here." The last girl to be provided for of tho 35 taken by the mission house from the Cymric's load reached New York with the Idea of going to Akron, Ohio. It seems that two years ago an Akron woman trav eling In Ireland met her and said she silk taped and neatly trimmed. ahead of the bunch, o OjZC Looks Like We Had An Underwear Mill Some where No, we don't make the underwear only tne prices.

Still having faith in that promise the girl came to America. When she told Fa ther Grogan about it he suggested that she stay over until he made Inquiries about the woman and also learned if she still wanted a servant. A telegram of inquiry was sent to Akron and brought a reply that the woman kept a hotel there and that its reputation was none too good. On the priest's advice the girl abandoned the idea of going to Akron and was engaged at once as a cook in a fashionable household at $25 a month. The number of Irish girls coming to America exceeds the number of boys, thus of men. On the other hand, the Immigra tion as a whole shows 65 per cent of men to 35 per cent of women. In the matter of education, the Irish im migrants far surpass most of tthelr fellows from other lands. Last year the percent age of Illiterates from Ireland was only 3.7, while among Italians It was 52.6 and among Poles "29.8. "I can understand why the girls out number the boys," said Father Grogan. j "There Is very little Industry In Ireland now 10 oner employment 10 gins. "There Is a little in Cork.
