self uuduly familiar while she is don4
her duty in the dining-room, says
Scranton, Pa, correspondent of tho
New York sun. Her clear complex
ion, big, bright eyes, abundant hair,
fine neck and shoulders, and the grace
and ease with which she trips from ta-
BILE 10 table attract the attention of
every commercial lady killer that
comes along, but in her manner she
gives them no excuse for being fresh
around her. She is as independent as
man, and she knows how to tax
care of herself good deal better than
the generality of pretty girls do. a
new customer at the house asked her
one morning If she wouldn't accom-
panY him to the theater, and her re-

and Ill go alone I'll not let you Ia ke

felt little ashamed of himself. But
he was equal to the emergency, and SO

TO go with her. Tho next time he
came around he didn't invite her.

If you arc whore you belong you won't
get into any trouble
That settled him for good. Their
was a big rush at dinner one day, aud
the bright girl was doing her share to-
