A Chicago lady who is the wife of a
wealthy and influential citizen had a
great deal of trouble recently with her
domestics She had discharged her
cook and second girl and for a few
days was obliged to do her own cook
ing.
1t was on one of these mornings that
a peremptory knock sounded on the
kitchen door, She wiped her hands
on the apron and found at the door
low browed, insolent looking man, with
a small satchel swung over his Shout

"Oh, you don't, Ell? Well, now, trOt

he returned, with a vicious glance.
Mrs Blank was backing within. To
be so insulted on her own doorstep was
such heinous crime that her resources
failed her. But In a moment she hit
upon a plan that would bring this
piece of insolence to AFFECT humility.
Drawing her stately figure up to the
full and fixing on him a gaze of i'm
perious disdain, she said in measured,
frigid tones, 81 am the lady of the
house."
Did he quail? Oh, no!

The young person who fills so i'm
portant a place in our domestic ar
rangements as housemaid, parlormaid
or general often enough takes
pride in her appearance, which, though
entirely natural, is sometimes irritat-
ing to the less reasonable type of mis-
tress. What would she think if it
were necessary for her, as it apparent
ly is in Germany, before taking place
as domestic servant to provide herself
with a special passbook in which full
description of her appearance must be
entered?
This description of the German maid
servant. is entered by the police of her
native district and is sometimes die
tated more by candor than chivalry.
The color of the eyes and hair and the
shape of the nose are all duly chron-
icled, and If the constable is of opin-
ion that any of these features are
ugly he has no hesitation in say
ing so.
What possibilities such system
suggestsl Imagine the young person
about to start career as cook present
ing herself before the local constable
to await his verdict on her nose and
lips!-London st. James Gazette.

Two Ladies Of Fashion Meet

A family living in North Side fat
welcomed new housemaid last week.
The girl had just come from Michigan,
and her appearance was progresses
ing. Soon after her advent it was dis
covered that she was inclined to treat
the family with a patronizing air.
''Mary, you must do better, or shall
have to find some one to take your
place." the mistress remarked the 9TH
er morning.
81 don't allow any one to speak to
me that way" replied Mary, with a
toss of her head. 'T'm just as good as
you are, and want you to know it"
Mary fiounced out of the room and
returned in two minutes with the
weekly paper from her town. Among
the social items was the following:
miss Mary Hanson has gone to Chi
eago to spend the winter. Miss Han
son is an acknowledged belle in the
leading circles of Sawdust Greek"
Mary waited until her employer had
had time to read the personal" and
then she said with whitening scon:
GAS 1 have always been accustomed
to going with the best in my town and
as l don't believe you ever have your
name on the society page Of the Sun
day papers guess 1 can't afford to
stay with you"

domestic incident closed.-ChicagO In

In certain SklrmlSh COlOnel -
general he came to call HIMSELF got a
slight scratch on the leg. The wound
was matter Of great glory to him.
and he nursed it through after days,
growing lamer with every year, that
the memory of his bravery might ever
be near him.
One day late in his life as he sat
nursing his leg and bordering the glo-
rious past young man, visiting the
family for the first time, approached
and sympathetically remarked:
Lame, general?
Eyes, sir" after pause and with
inexpressible solemnity, 81 am lame"
"Been riding, sir"
''Now with rebuked sternness. II
have not been riding"
"Ah, slipped on the ice, general?'
mo, sir!" with actual ferocity.
Perhaps. then, you have sprained
your ankle, sirT'
With painful slowness the old mali
lifted his pet leg in both hands, set it
carefully on the floor, rose slowly from
his chair and, looking down upon the
unfortunate youth with mingled pity
and wrath, burst forth in the sublimity
of rage:

plause. Then Jim rose again, with a
crumpled telegram in his hand. He
much regretted, he said. to be obliged
to announce that Hon. Dwight Per-
kins could not be with them. A tele-
gram he had just received announced a
railway accident that blocked the road
and held back Mr. Perkins, 60 miles
away.
.'Our regret, however" said Jim, sis
somewhat mitigated by the fact that
we fortunately have with us as an
honored guest one of the most promi-
nent of New York's young political
and social leaders, Mr.. Spencer Clifford,
who will talk to US on the question of
the hour"
AS Jim sat down patter of applause
ran round the hall and the long lines Of
faces assumed an expectant express
sion.
Remember your old debating tri-
umphs." whispered the perfdious Jim,
land sail in"
Spencer gave him horrible scowl as
he rose to his feet. Then he turned to
the auditors with a pleasant smile. He
put his teeth together hard. He
wouldn't be bluffed And deep down
In his soul he felt gratified that Jim,
despite his consummate meanness,
had confidence in him. Jim knew he
wouldn't fluke. He would say word
or two and retire as gracefully as pos
sible.
When Spencer, after an eloquent
wind up, finally took his seat, the ap-
plause was vigorous and long drawn
out, and Jim, his face flushed and his
eyes sparkling, grabbed Spencer's hand
under the table and squeezed it hard
and said: "Great, my boy, great! You
ought to get down on your Bonded
knees to me for bringing you out"
When it was all over, Jim said: 1--WE
must get our coats and hunt up Min

jealous of you now. Don't make her
more so. By the way, she has young
woman from your overgrown town in
tow tonight. and We'll have to escort
her to her aunt's home. Know her?
She's a Miss Anna Goldie."
A little later they were out in the
open air, Anna walking with Spencer
and Mr.. and Mrs. Jim going ahead,
that acute married dame having ap-
parently sized up the situation.
"After hearing you this evening""
said Anna softly, 81 think this is the

There was pause. They fell back
