It Is a great, dreary building, this St. I,azare, but no one seems to feet any sense of its gloom or pathos. Outside in tfie early morning will be standing a group of people waiting to see relatives or friends, a characteristic Parisian group: A young man of the Apache type, hat well pulled down over a low brow, very high collar and skin of that waxen pallor peculiar to the Parisian boulevardier; three smiling, coquettlshly dressed women without hats, a clean little old man who talks to himself and emphasizes the monologue by beating with his stick on the pavement, and a sharp faced little girl whose red stockings hang down over a dilapidated pair of bools much too big for her.

After that they were tried at carrying sand and things like that. They went on for a short while, but did the work in fits and starts. In another place, also on the west coast, where women had been tried against the black men, it was found that for carrying In firewood they were by far the best and cheapest: There, of course, they were on piece work, although their tickets were marked just the same as if they were on day work.
