degraded In my work The five days as
extra" had increased my repugnance
for tho enforced Icafing which half
starved my family, not to speak OF my
self.
But I had learned some things In my
period of intermittent service, and the
principal of these was to decline the
friendship Of my fellow "extras," whose
advances had as their object their con-
venience rather than my entertainment.
For example one of them excitedly
asked for the loan of twenty cents for
"change TO run his car with" l hadn't
money for him, though my inexperience
was willing to make the loan. What
saw soon made me infiexible Of purpose
in such matters, as, discovered, 1t was
my duty to be.
AN EMBARRASSING RECOGNITION.
Being a comparative stranger In a city
where had not been known In my palmy
days, the chances were against my renew
ing acquaintance OF an embarrassing
sort. I did, however, once encounter tho
wife OF the gentleman by whose agency
had secured employment, whom l had
not seen since she and her husband were
my guests on the other side Of the Allan
tic. five years before.
A feeling of shame took possession Of mo
and turned my back as saw her enter tho
car. There was nothing. however. to be
done but to perform my duty and collect
her fare.
With the sensibility OF true lady she
| OWNED what my feelings were. and was
the perfect stranger to me, not showing
the least embarrassment, and, bless her
heart! relieving me Of mino.
From that time forward l felt prepared
for whatever might happen to me In the
way of meeting people who had known
me wheneverything and everybody smiled
