A Mean Phrase.
"Only a hired girl" Is mean and
contemptibly phrase. It was formed
by some brainless flunkey and has been
kept allvu by a lot of hobetudinous
monkeys who have no conception of
what constitutes merit in a man or
woman. An honest girl who works for
an honest living Is entitled to all the
respect due a human being. Some of
the best and most talented women who
ever lived were once "hlrod glrlB," JustJ
as many of the most illustrious men woo
eyer adorned the pages of history were
poor boys who performed the most
menial kinds of service. That anybody
of good sense could affect to despise a
girl simply because she performs do
mestic service Is one qf the unaccount
able Imbecilities of custom. To it is
largely due the fact that good girls for
domestic servlcei are scarce. Brock-
