I ■ ANN HOOVER The Romance of a Pretty Housemaid NTN HOOVER was the pretty ' Colored maid in the refined home of Mrs. Wiseenfair at Benson. Not only was Ann a pretty girl, but she had the additional charm which is a rare possession of most pretty girls, she was totally unconscious of her beauty. Her features were refined and regular, molded after the fashion of a composite African and Greek type. Her complexion was of that exquisite brown tint which always at tracts attention. She had those beau tiful brown eyes, so characteristic of her race, and an irresistible smile which disclosed the prettiest of pearly teeth. She had a neat trim form and was a trifle under the average height. Her brother, Tom, who was next to her in age—for she the oldest of a large family—would often say, “Sis, you are certainly one o’ them teasin’ browns the fellows rave about.” And if you knew Ann, you would agree with Tom. Ann certainly had what they call personality, and was a good sensible girl who had been carefully reared by a wise mother, who in the struggle to raise her large family, for she had been left a widow, taught them that nc honest work is “menial.” So when ;t became necessary for Ann to seek employment, she did not consider it a hardship, but rather an opportunity to accept the position of maid in the cultured home of Mrs. Wisenfair. The wages were good; the surroundings congenial and the work was not labor ious because Mrs. Wisenfair was a firm believer in lightening the drudg ery of housekeeping by installing the latest electric devises of which there are so many. She believed in the wise economy of “doing things electrically,” which means effectually, efficiently and expeditiously'. And it is rather interesting to learn how Mrs. Wisenfair became impressed with “doing it electrically.” One day her husband, who advertises in The Monitor, was so pleased with one or two special articles published in it that he took his copy home to show his wife. Mrs. Wisenfair read the articles, and found another one under the caption “Doing It Electrically,” to which she in turn called her hus band’s attention. “George, dear,” she said, “did you know that there were so many labor saving electrical devices for use in the home ? Listen to this,” and she read aloud a long list of household neces sities, not luxuries, that could be pur chased from the Nebraska Power com pany. “No, that’s one on me,” said Mr. Wisenfair, “and I pride myself on be ing a pretty well posted man. Let’s go down to the electric shop and give them the once over.” And they went with the result that many electrical conveniences were in stalled in the Wisenfair home and that’s why Ann Hoover found it a con genial place to work and found many a leisure moment to cultivate her rrund. The saleswoman called Mrs. Wisen fair’s attention to a Hoover Electric Suction Sweeper and began speaking of its advantages. She raid this is the only sweeper which bears, sweeps and cleans at the same time. It does thorough work. You will never be dis appointed if you buy a Hoover. We intend to put hundreds ot these in Omaha homes, because we have made the terms so liberal—$5.00 down and $f.00 a month—that almost everybody can afford to buy one. You will find it a pleasure to have a Hoover in your home.” “Ann Hoover,” said Mrs. Wisenfair, with a merry laugh, we have Ann Hoover in our home and she is a pleas ure; because she is so efficient, intel ligent, reliable and conscientious. If that Hoover Sweeper is anything like as efficient as our maid, I want it.” So she bought a Hoover Electric Suction Sweeper which Ann Hoover found great pleasure in using. But an attractive, efficient sensible girl like Ann Hoover could not be expected to remain always as a maid in even as pleasant a home as that of Mrs. Wisenfair. She desired a home of her own. She is to be married .-oon anil will occupy a cosy little bungalow which her lucky boy is buy ing for her in the northern part of Omaha. Yes, it’s all settled. She is to have an Electric Washing Machine and Hoover Electric Suction Sweeper, for Bob, who is a far-sighted and level headed chap, has already made ar rangements with the Nebraska Pow er Company to send these and other elec tneal conveniences to their cosy home on their wedding day in May. Then every day and every week will be clean up day and clean up week in that cosy little bungalow where Mrs. »j‘ A j Philip’s Department Store { 24th and O Streets, South Side. !|! * The Fastest Growing Store in Omaha £ | “WATCH US GROW” | T A l You cannot be happy unless you are comfortable and every one in y •{• the family is the same.
