peryantr. Tho white-haired woman
has kept her "hired girl" for twenty
years. There 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 twice
'ent,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
ipeak a word of English and I didn't
peak any German, but there' was some
thing that 'cqUnted more than words.
While my husband and I were talking

picked up some knitting I had laid down
mil begin to knit. She told me when we
began to understand each other that her
mother had said to her before she went
ut to service 'Don't wait for your missus
to tell you what to do. Do Jt without
being told, .She's always been that way
and it's a great comfort
"The missus never fussed at me." but
n the maid who has been called Into
the room for the conference. "If I didn't
dust the piano right she didn't come
nfter me and make a path with her
finger through the dust.
"I though 'Maybe next time sho will do
better,' " and if tho second time wasn't
better I was suro tho third time would
be," returned the mistress. "I don't be
lieve in talking much. There too much
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
anxious when I have one of my head-
I aches as my "husband' and spn are."
I "But when the missus goes out for a
walk of a street car ride sho often takes
me," persisted the maid. "And she don't
give me the leuvin's. I get as good meats
an the family, and I have as good a place
to sleep as they have themselves.'
"But Lena never insisted on having Ijer
regular Sunday or her Thursday evening
off. If It suited us, to ask her to stay
In then and take another time she did.
And she never complained about com
pany." "Sure I didn't kick," said the maid. "If
the family enjpyed having company I
wanted them to have it. It's that way If
you're Interested In your family."
The maid vanished because her ear had
caught the ominous sound of something
boiling over In the kitchen.
"She a good girl." The mistress" eyes
followed that squat, sturdy figure. "I
like her next to my own family.
There Is was, the solution of the prob.
lem that has worn some women oUt of
their homes and Into hotels. If not Into
their graves. She had kept her mad for
twenty years because she "liked her"
and by the same token the maid had re
mained with her, The maid liked her.
The solution of the servant problem Is
the ditty of Mary and her lamb applied
to labor In the household.
They liked eaph other and for that rea
son Lona "was worrrled" when Mrs. Jay
had a headache and Mrs. Jay did what
no other mistress In the neighborhood
did, took her maid out for a walk or a
street car ride.
They liked each other, and Lena didn't
care when the family had company, and
Mrs. Jay gave Lena a diamond ring
from which her own finger' had per
manently shrunken.
They liked eac)w other, so neither
"spoke a cross word to the other in
twenty years." They liked each other
and Lena has no expectation of ever
leaving Mrs. Jay and Mrs. Jay gave a
party for Lena on the annlveralnary of
her coming to her and 'picking up the
dropped knitting, twenty years ago.
"It's a good deal like marriage," I
suggested, and Mrs. Jay nodded her
gentle white head.
"It li," she said.
And perhaps that Is the solution of the
happiness in the marriage problem, too,"
tq like each other, and with that excel
lent start, to be "reasonable and considerate."-
Reasonableness and considera
tion with the liking at the beginning,
would bring more' couples to a celebration
of their china weeding and make th
patronage of the divorce courts slender.
FRECKLES
Rouge, Powder and Burlesque of Sex
. By REV. T. A. 1IICKKV,
Rector of St. Brendan's Church, Brooklyn
Every young woman should scorn those
compact, extravagant styles of dress
which orp calculated to Incite the evil
and attract- the vicious. Rouge and cos
metic, which detract rather than add to
her beauty, she should carefully avoid,
Gentility and modesty those womanly
traits which manly men most admire
should characterise her way.
8he should be well dressed. The world
admires the modest woman prettily and
becomingly gowned, but recoils at her
sister who burlesques her sex by the adop
tion of costumes which merit the con
demnation they receive.
We wish to see the young woman so
attired a to reflect the dearest and moat
Wholesome of her charms modesty and
to continue to hold the admiration ot
clean-minded men, the only kind the
Christian girl should wish to know.
Does the girl who adopts extravagant
prevailing gowns ever stop to ask who
conceives them? Does she over ask
whether those persons are actuated by
mere mercenary motives?
It Is well to ponder over theie ques
tions. Any parent cherishing the future
of his daughter should bear In mind thin

Looking Pretty All the Time

one's self conspicuous by the face-smear-ing
process. But
"A. llttlft powder now and then '
Is relished by the best of them."
It Is in Its utility that It should be
relished. It banishes a gosp that Is uh
attractive. But this coating of one's com
plexion so that nature's charms are con
cealed Is silly and marring- It is not
modest.
It Is a girl's duty to herself and to so
ciety to keep herself as pleasing In api
pearunce as pottlble.
There (ire many girls who paint and
mean no wrong. They are good girls,
They tee no harm In it-and then it Is
stylish, you know; and mother and father
thoughtless mother and father do not
dlscourace her. I want to tell th lrl'
this: It may not be sin, but It may be
the occasion for sin. Don't play with
fire.
I want to tell the parents this; There
would be no social evil, so-called. If
ftmlnlne modesty wer? more carefully
treasured.
A final word to grl and parents
Young women of today don t stem to
differentiate between conspiUousneB
and attractiveness. The girl whoso nat-
oral complexion Is disguised by a coating
of powder or paint and who Is attired
In one of these disgracefully suggestive
gowns of today, may le conspicuous.
She tan n-cr be attractive.
"Dear me," raid he prttlet girl, "I
do wish Miss Marie Corelll would learn
to sing nTV tong. She's been doing
that otd 'What am I going to do to make
you love me?' tor no 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
sting Is welt enough,
pnly she doesn't
Ing It right.
That' the old
fashioned version.
Wa don't use quite
the same words
nowadays. Ours
runs more like this."
The clervertst girl
threw herself bsek
in the swinging
chair, assumed a
questioning and, It
must be confessed, a rather nagglsh ex
pression of countenance, and chanted
satirically: "What are you going to do
to make me love you?"
"Thafs the right refrain Just now
It's the one I'm olng to sing anyhow,
ahd all the girls In my class," and she
threw the very clever magazine with
Kiss CorelH's latest article en the
"Created thing In the world and how to
get It" Into the farn-and wouldn't hear
of picking It up again,
When are these cleyer people who write
things for magaztnts gong to wake up?"
she said. "We don't need articles un how
to catch a husband these days, or how
to keep him when we've got h!m-not a
bit In the world. The thing we need Is.
'How to take an Interest In matrimony
as a profession when there are q many
other Interesting things to do.'
"My mother would have had an awuj
time If she hadn't married fancy living
with Upcle ulck all your life and being
a maiden sitter. But It's oifferent with
me.
"If I meet Just the tight man, I'll
marry maybe 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
esting. I'm afraid I should hate awfully
Just to be somebody's wife without ovun
my own natpe to go by."
And tho prettiest girl Joined right In
with the cleverest girl and the things
they said the average everyday man
would have horrified Miss Corelll to the
verge of madness If she had heard them.
They would horrify me, tqo only I
know It's Just their heads talking now.
Some day their hearts will begin to speak,
and then we shall hear a different side
of the story.
But, all the same, I read Miss Corpll'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 Vas all right for people who belevc
In the dark of 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 al the time,
but In this day and time, Miss Corelll.
really now, why don't you look around
you?
Who's the man the most outrageously
In love with his own wife thit 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 long race give me the
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 friends and Jolly
comrades and good fellows and gentle
sweethearts honestly I do and I've been
acquslnted with several men 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 the
Creature.
Tut, tut, Miss Corelll! 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 lt-l' can't believe It,
How m, earth have they ever accom
plished all they have In the world If
they are sOch absolutely blind, unreason
ing creatures as you say they are?
"Look pretty every minute or you'U
lose him." Good gracious! Whatever
would becomo of the world If all tho
married women In It Agreed with you?
What would happen to tho babies?
Who'd run downstairs In a heavy dress
ing gown and make husband a mustard
pluster when something he'd eaten had
gone wrong with him? And then there'u
husband what would he think of 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, too. She declared that
she left her perfectly good young hus
band because she hated the way he
looked with his collar off, shaving.
AnJ the world re-echoed with gupty
laughter of the godsl I wonder why?
Just as I was finishing Miss Corelll's
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 alt. To Judge by
statistics It Is the men who need the
advice on how to keep a wife."
And I kept wondering what she'd say
when sho 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 she wouldn't be right to pity
them.
And the cleverest girl-why she's the
very one who'll be crazy about some one
some day, and not auch a very clever
some one, either, and perhaps not such a
