Put him out. I'm bringhr a stranger to." That was the firt salutation one ot the women contut takers in the north eastern part of the city received when she started her work. By tlio time she had spent two hours getting data con cerning fifty-five person within half a block on North Fifth street she was convinced that if variety were the spice of life Philadelphia lind some mighty spicy communities. There was the adorable old deaf woman whose nnwer to mo-it questions was "Hey? What you want to know that fori' nnd there were cunning I youngsters who wanted to show the visitor all the things Santa brought and how the monkey climbed a stick and Vby the train wouldn't run. There was a-motherly body who "took iu" board - crs but wanted mighty bad to gel rid of her place, and there was the fifty-two-year-old maiden lady who grew purple in the face when asked her age , nnd flew into n rage when asked how she earned her living. All Aro Considerate "For the most part every one has been very considerate and has given in formation readily." said Mrs. Hose Nicholson, one of tho ceusiw takers. "I have covered only one block so far. Every one I have met knew what census meant and was ready to auswer ques tions. Now and then there was a snob bish person, but when the head of the houso seemed cranky or queer I just made myself that much more agree able and pleasant. "If is a great study iu human na ture,"' she contluued. "It is surprising how little people do know about them selves, though : even those with more than tho average intelligence. They have to stop tq; figure up their ages, Jn think of tho names of all the children. f and half of them don't seem to have the remotest idea what their husbands or brothers or sods are doing. They know where the man works and hi trade, but often they don't know what department or just the uuturu ot the work." Many Varieties "I have fouud most of the people onning their own home-, or paying for their homes on the installment plan. It is interesting to bee what n variety of profeasious are represented in one block. There will be u baker liv ing over the shop ou the corner, real estato dealers, physicians, laborers and women employed at factories, and iu professions all within a small ludiuB." Christmas trees, their tiusels In vari ous stages of dilapidation, holly wreaths and the generul holiday aftermath uera found everywhere. AVhiU mother talked to the "census lady" small sou shot his popgun, blew all the horns and made as much din as be possibly could to dis tract attention from the business of the call. It was plain to b6 seen that the parlor door was opened only ou special occasions, so son wouldu't have all the tree ornaments and tiiOht precious toys . torn to pieces before the holiday season -was ended. Some Want t Gossip There were folks who wanted to gos sip and others who wanted to get the business over so they could get back to ironing or sewing or cooking. The cen sus takers arc bappy to find a large number of persons under one roof, be cause they are paid by the number of names they get, and it is uiuuh easier to get them in big groups. "It takes a least ten minutes for each person," said Mrs. Nicholsou, "for there ate tweutj-uine questions to ask about each, and the answers have to be written with pen and iuk iu tho official form. "I just have to go inside sir I can sit donu to write. The official blank book is as big as rno:,t women's maga zines." Man ot tho women census takers began their work yesterday. Many others will begin today. They are. sup posed to take only two weeks to cover one district, and some of them are hoping to be given n second district when they complete ttu tlrst. With most of them it is just an easy way to earu a littie spending money, nnd they have already figured out just how the earn ings of the few weeks are to be spent. One woman is goiug to pay doctor's bills; another is planning t buy a fur neckpiece, and another is going to use the money to help buy a piano.
