Hotel Rich in Tradition, Short on Facilities __ Quests Have to Do Their Own Fine Laundry Work. __t STOPPING In a 300-year-old hotel, rich In historic memories • but'shy on vacuum cleaners and laundry facilities, has been a dubious pleasure to the Frank Martin family, who leave London Thursday to set sail from Southampton for America. .. Mrs. Martin found it hardest to bear for to her fell the task of washing i innumerable linens for her husband and four sons. Linens which couldn’t r be laundered during their stay at the hotel, the famous Cox hostelry on Jermyn street. The hotel is very near Buckingham palace and the famous Wallace col lection, a home where many of Thackeray’s scenes in “Vanity Fair” are laid, but the Martins’ schedule, which accounted for visits to these wonders, as they made London their headquarters for side trips, left no time for the Slow British laundry system. , The Martins are rejoicing in the fact that of 500 passengers on a boat !• traveling from the Hook of Holland to Harwich, only four of the passengers . triumphed over seasickness, and of these, two were among their party.

Dear Martha Allen: I am a fre quent reader of your column and have come to you for advice as others have. • I have one sister, three years older than myself, who has been recently married. She and her husband are making their home with us at pres ent. My sister graduated this year from high school and always she had everything. My parents spent money constantly for her and now she is married they keep on doing so. I should think her husband could provide foe her. He does, and just adds that much to her pleasure. She has almost everything she could wish for. I have given up my room and everything in it. I am old enough to go With boy friends, but I seldom get to leave my home. They will all go away on excur sions and leave me at home, telling me not to leave. I have done the washing all alone at times and help more than my share. Now, I have told you absolutely the truth and will look for my an swer. Do you think this a fair way to do? And what can X do to make them realize it is not fair? Thanking you for your kind advice, 1 am, sincerely yours, “BLUE.” If what you tell me is true, the an swer is that you are indeed receiving in unfair “deal." Your sister's hus band should certainly provide for her. If your parents continue to carry the responsibility her husband is iikely to forget that It Is his. It is prob ably no lack of love or kindliness on your parents’ part which leads them to discriminate In favor of the older sister. It is a custom among many people of foreign extraction to favor the older girl or the eldest son. Usually, however, they don't continue this habit after the child's marriage. Why not discuss the matter frankly with your sister, who is near your age. and will be able to understand your feelings. If she Is sympathetic, she could do more toward making your parents understand than nny one else. Mr. anti Mrs. Cox Return.

Fain liar with every vagary of my temperamental httle maid," I needed bnt one glance at Katie's advancing figure to tell mo tliat something far more obsessing than one of her ordi nary tantrums was accelerating her hurrying footsteps. Fury, jealous, primitive, dangerous, was in every line of her. Katherine touched my arm In warn ing even as I turned to her. “That means hair pufllng and face scratching.” she said. "I knew It." I answered uneastly, starting precipitately down the path 1 toward/ my little maid. “Kend Jim to roe at once, please.” As I turned my head to utter the request, I saw that it was superflu- ' ous. From Katie's throat came an j ear-splitting scream of “Jeem! You, Jeem!” which almost spelled disaster to the little cavalcade above us. Mollie Fawcett, unused to riding, started to scream, dropped her reins, and would have fallen had not Jim caught her swaying figure and as sisted hep to an upright position | again. Jerry Ticer swung around toward the sound, and gazed yltn moi^th wide open at. Katie's rushing progress, while Marion hnd Junior, hand In hand, stood as motionless as two little wooden Images.

I saw rfim touclg Jerry Tlccr upon the shnujder. nnd the next second, with out a backward look toward Miss Fawcett, he was hurrying down the path toward us, not running, but In a loping walk that was very near the swifter pace.

And even as Katie writhed in out grasp in a frantic effort to get free, I realized with a shamed flush burn ing my face, that only the thin ven eer of rigid training often had kept me from an exhibition of rage similar to the one my little maid was staging. The same savage Impulses had been mine, but my self-control had been better. Katie had found her voice now, but lucky she was so choked with anger that it did not carry to the little group on the hillside. But what she lacked in volume she made up In vehemence. “Stop This Noise!" "I could keel! 1 could keel'" she raved. “Hot long-legged, skinny piece of soup meat dot old cat vouldn't look at—coorn around sneaking and smil ing like butter vouldn't melt in her dnlnty mouth!

I shook her vigor ously. “Stop this noise at once and come back to the house. You're act ing like a child." Kitber the shake or my voice filled with the authority to which she al ways has yielded willing obedience, quieted her for a second. She stopped her twisting, but there was something disquieting in the steaxly gaze she gave me. Then she spoke, not in the childish, half-impish manner to which she £,as long accus tomed me, but with a queer little air of sage authority, which evidently was the result of long thought. “Misses' Graham." she said, "you mighty smart lady about everything except letting your man know vere he gets off- I don't know, maybe dot's vot ladies have to do. smile und look sveet und pretend dey don't see tings.
