Why She Kept Her "Girl"
By ADA PATTERSON
The' servant problem has been solved.
Its solution has been found by a white
hal'red, browneyed, soft-voiced woman
who lives In an unfashionable block tn
New York. The
neighbors say she
Is "mighty feeble,"
which Is their wuy
of expressing the
fact that she had
not the gift of ro
bust health. She' Is
not rich. The city
flat in which she
lives Is a long way
from Fifth avenue
and Instead of
twenty-four serv
ants of a famous
Fifth avenue home
she keeps one. But
the famous Fifth
xvenue home has

servants. Tho white-haired woman
has kept her "hired girl" for twenty
years. Thcro is a reason for everything
nd you may be sure there Is a good
reason for this. She wasn't quite sure
of the reason herself, but it peeped out
)f the story she told me of their twlc
cn.years together,
"I took a fancy to Lena when my hus
band brought her home from the employ
ment agency," she said. "She didn't
speak a word of English and I didn't
peak any German, but there was somu
thing that -.cqUnted more than words.
While my husband and I were talking
sh,e went over to that corner by the win
dow where you see the cat asleep and she
picked up some knitting I had laid down
ind begin t6 knit. She told me when we
began to understand each other that her
mother had said to her before she went
aut to service 'Don't wait for your missus
to tell you what to do. Do It without
being told. She's always been that way
ind it's a great comfort.'

talking in the world and most of it is a
pretty poor quality. But Lena's always
been kind and thoughtful to. me. I suffur
a great deal from headaches and she's as

"But when tho missus goes out for a

Looking Pretty
By WINIFRED BLACK
"Dear me," raid he prettiest girl, "I
do wish Miss Marie Corelll would learn
to sing a new fong. She's been doing
that old 'What am I going to do to make
you love "me?" for bo long. I'm a bit
tired Of It, and I
should think the
men would be tired
of it, too,"
"Well," said the
cleverest girl, "the
song Is well enough,
pnly she doesn't
ting It right.
That's the old
faahloned. version.
We don't use quite
the same words
nowadays. Ours
runs more like this."
Th clervertst girl
threw herself back
in the swinging
chair, assumed a
Questioning and. It
mutt be confessed, a rather nagglsh ex
pression of countenance, and chanted
satirically: "What are you going to do
to make me love you?"
"That's the right refrain Just now.
It's the one I'm going to sing anyhow,
ahd all the girls In my class," and she
threw the very clever magaslne with
Hiss Corelll' latest article en the
"Greatest thng In the world and how to
get it" Into the ftrn-and wouldn't hear
of picking It up again,
When are these clever people who write
things for magazines going td wake up7"
she said. "We don't need articles on how
to catch a husband thuse days, or how
to keep him when we've got hlm-not a
bit In the world. The thing we need Is.
'Hpw to take an Interest In matrimony
as a profession when there are sq many
other Interesting ihlngs to do.'
"My moth'tr would have had an awful
time If she hadn't married fancy living
with Uncle xjIcW all your life and being
a maiden sister. But It's Different with
me.
"If I mt'st just the right man. I'll
marry mayb but I'll think awhile be
fore I do It. I'm going to get a rather
good salary In my line of work. I can
do a lot of good in the world, and oh,
what a lot of fun I'm going to have. I'll
have to bo awfully in love with a man to
give all that up just to be Mrs. Some
body I love being myself it's so Inter
18, 1913.
Man's a Boss-Somewhere
esting. I'm afraid I should hate awfully
Just to be somebody's wife without oyun
my own naine to go by."
And tho prettiest girl Joined right n
with the cleverest girl and the things
they said the average everyday man
would have horrified Miss Corelll to the
verge of madness It she had heard them.
They would horrify me, tqo only I
know It's just their heads talklr.ir now.
Some dsy their hearts will bvg'.n to speak,
and then we shall hear a different side
of the story.
But, all the same, I read Miss Corps's
article on the greatest thing In the world
and how to keep t, and I really did wish
she hadn't gone back to the ancient days
of superstition about men and, the way
to make a man stay In love with his
wife.
It was all right for people who believe
in the dark ot the moon Idea and who
wouldn't sit thirteen at a table for any
thing, to say and to believe when they
say It, that no man could love a woman
unless she looked pretty all the time,
but In this day and time, Miss Corelll,
really now, why don't you look around
you7
Who's the man the most outrageously
In love with lili own wife that you know?
Is she the prettiest woman of your ac
quaintance? I don't believe It. She Isn't
of mine.
A pretty woman Is the thing for a short
conquest, but for a long race give me tho
average looking woman every day In the
week. Why? Well, she's apt to be more
Interesting for one thing; and then, sis
ters, men are really not all such blither
ing idiots as some would have us believe
really they are not. I know men who
love their wives because their wives are
good women and true friend and Jolly
comrades arid good fellows and gentle
sweethearts honestly I do and I've been
acquslnted with several mn who stayed
In. love with their wives after they had
seen said wives with their hair twisted
around a comb and mouth full of hair
pins such was the Incredible folly of thj
creatures.
Tut, tut, Miss Corelll I What an odd lot
of men you must know, really!
Are they all such absolute dunces as
you try to make us think?
I don't believe It i' can't believe It.
How M. earth have they ever accom
plished all they have In the world If
they are sUch absolutely blind, unreason
ing creatures as you say they are?
"Iook pretty every minute or you'll
All the
lose him." flood gracious! Whatevor
would becomo of the world If all tho
married women In It Screed with you?
What would happen to the babies?
Who'd run downstairs In a heavy dress
ing gown and make husband a mustard
plaster when something he'd eaten hail
gone wrong with him? And tlen there'u
husband what would he think ot us If
we should turn around and say tho same
sort of thing to him?
A woman did say It in Chicago the
other day a very clever and well-known
woman she was, top. She declared that
she left htr perfectly good young hus
band because she hated tho way he
looked with his collar off, shaving.
And the world re-echoed with gusty
laughter of the godsl I wonder why?
Just as I was finishing Miss Corettl'a
article the prettiest girl was saying:
"I wonder if it never strikes these peo
ple who are so busy telling us how to
keep a husband that nine out of ten of
the divorce suits are brought by women
and not by men at all. To Judge by
statistics It Is the men who need the
advice on how to keep a wife."
And I kept wondering what ehe'd say
when she fell In love really and truly :n
love and whether .she wouldn't pity
every one who wasn't In the same state,
and whether the wouldn't be right to pity
thrm,
And tho cleverest girl-why she's the
very one who'll be crasy about some one

some one, either, and perhaps not such a
