ROBBLAND EVENING RECORD, MAY 10. 1809,

4 Girl Who Is Recelving $2 Writes for a Po-
sition. :

Miss Emma Calvert of Boston, Onta-
rio writes tothe Recorp that she is
working there for $2 a week,and would
be glad of the chance to earn from $20 to
$80 per month. She saw a notice in the
Norfolk Reformer which evidently em-
anated from a statement in the Reconp
that good girls conld command such
wages in Rossland. Anyone desiring a
good girl, and there are doubtlessly

many families in Rossland who do,
should write to Miss Calvert stating the
kind of work required of her, the wages
and term of employment, asking for
such information concerning her as may
be desired.
