*LIFE- 375 they aren’t light? Well, I guess not. Henry James isn’t a featherhead. But here are two awful interesting books, especially if you read them together. They're not nove they're social or logical problems, or whatever they call them. One is named Millionaires’ Households —and it’s a peep over the back fences of the Rich. But the funny thing is, the writer tries to make you feel sorry for the poor butlers and parlor maids and lady's maids and laundresses who work for the Millionaires! My, if they all wouldn't rather be there than working for poorer people, or out of a job altogether. And I s'pose she can’t expect the Millionaires to take their servants in and give them all the comforts of home. You just read this other book, The Woman Who Toils. Then I guess you'll think the Million- aires’ servants are in clover. My! but this book is interest- ing. You know, two rich ladies put on old clothes and pretended they were poor girls and went and worked in factories. Yes, sir, l don't wonder you ex- claim. They worked in horrid, smelly factories, ten hours a day, and lived in the poorest kind of boarding-houses. What! You don’t think they were very nice ladies to do that? Why, they did it to investigate the places, you know, and find out conditions and things like that. Yon don't care to read about low life? Very well, sir, And shall I send you these other books ? Yes,sir. Thank you. Good morn- ing, good morning. Now, he didn’t see the point of that last book at all, My! but I'm glad I've got brains enough to sell books and don’t belong to the poor, ignorant class that buys them. Carolyn Wells.
