I will show you what, else there is to do, Delia." Janice spoke in rather a grown-up way because she had had so much experience with a class of houseworkers only too willing to take advantage of her youth and inexperience. "Isn't that nice!" sighed Delia, with her rather, foolish smile. Janice wondered whether the woman was making fun of her, or if she was quite as silly as she appeared.
Much of the rough work of Switzerland is done by Savoyards, as houseworkers, and by Italians, as farm hands, laborers, and stone masons: showing that as a body even the poorest of the propertyless Swiss have some choice of the better paid occupations. Every spring sees Italians, by scores of thousands, pouring over the Alps for a summer's work in Switzerland.
"Always housework; it is surprising how many houseworkers come before me." She smiles a sickly smile. "Take her record. Next case," says the judge. Outside it is a cold sleeting night in early March. "Witnesses in case of Nellie Farrel," calls the clerk. Nellie Farrel stands before the desk beside a policeman; she is tall with fair waving hair.
Yet, with the kind of houseworkers they had had, much of the good food that was bought was spoiled in the cooking. Daddy sometimes said: "The Lord sends the food, but the cooks don't all come from heaven, that is sure, Janice."
Sure, it's not right good sinse she's got." He came behind the giantess suddenly and boosted her with strong arms up to the seat at the front of the wagon. Then he climbed up himself and the turnout rattled away heavily along the street. Delia's departure was one of the most astounding things that had happened to the Days during the months of their dependence upon itinerant houseworkers.
Day had gone every day to the intelligence offices and brought back the most discouraging reports. "But, Daddy, isn't there any person in the whole of Greensboro or in the county any more who has to work for her living?" asked Janice. "That man, Murphy, at whose office I engaged Delia, says that there are no good houseworkers any more.
No one has ever suggested to legislators that sweeping and beating rugs might be included among the dusty trades; that bending over steaming washtubs, and almost immediately afterwards going out into frosty air to hang the clothes, might be harmful to throat and lungs; that remaining within doors days at a time, as houseworkers almost invariably do, reacts on nerves and the entire physical structure; that steady service, if not actual labor, from six in the morning until nine and ten at night makes excessive demands on mind and body.
Bedford Reformatory, one of the two New York State institutions for delinquent women, in an examination of a group of one thousand women, found four hundred and thirty general houseworkers, twenty-four chamber-maids, thirteen nursemaids, eight cooks, and thirty-six waitresses. As some of the waitresses may have been restaurant workers, we will eliminate them.
