wood Said the oldest one finally:
You'll put it in the paper, and our
employers will read 1t, and" she
kissed the tips Of her fingers and
spread them apart-'good-b to us"
You're too suspicious"
The whole trio clucked one melan-
choly cluck.
Perhaps" said the Oldest "Suspi-
Cion isn't such bad business. We
need it in our business"
"An ounce of suspicion is worth a
pound of repentance" said the young
est oracle. Being the youngest, she
had larger stock of worldly wise re-
marks than either of the others had.
We've had experiences and to
spare" remarked the middle oracle,
who rather pinned for speech. "Show
me the typewriter girl who hasn't had
experiences and I'll show you
THE girl that's never had any en-
ployer," said the youngest emphatic
ally
I'VE might tell you some things
about the employers we once had
said the oldest oracle, meditatively.
The middle one frightened up. They
agreed that it could do no harm.
IF l were a man." said the Oldest,

should pick out a typewriter girl. Why?
Because I'd know that she wouldn't ex-
pect me to be an angel or hero or an
encyclopedia. She wouldn't faint if
said Damn and she would stand the
smell Of tobacco smoke in the house
without having a sick headache"
Yes" said the youngest oracle, 'and
she wouldn't crack a smile if her hus
band called himself 'healthfuP and the
house healthy The typewriter girl
knows what to expect Of man in the
line of language"
That's right" said the oldest oracle.
81 had an employer once who would
persist in debating: AS usual, this
house is notorious for the quality of
the goods offered l suggested that he
say well known or celebrated or al
most any old thing rather than noto-
rious, but he assured me that he knew
his business. WeM' thoughtfully,
when saw the quality OF the goods
offered concluded that he did know
it,
Well" said the middle oracle, I'D
rather have an employer who would
stick to his own way and accept the
consequence than one who would make
me take the responsibility and the suf-
fering. | had enc of that kind. He'd
start me off on letter all right. We'd
go booming through the address and

his proposition or something of that
sort, according to- the circumstances.
