GRAVY BOWL THEIR DOWNFALL.

AKishap with the Dish Betrayed As-. stunned Namen-TyvO Fair "segsa Nm Search of Experience For College Story Came to Grief st Second Meal. First Was a Triumph For Investi- gators.
 Because q professor in the English department at the University of Chica- go requested the co-eds of his class to be prepared with stories of actual ex- periences for a weekly theme, Miss Florence Eddy and Miss Vivian Rand, two pretty ''segs' of original ideas, rapped timidly a few days ago at the back door of the home of Mrs. Moses Goldsmith, 4517 Forrestville avenue, Chicago. and applied for positions as first and second maid Owing to the dropping of a bowl of gravy after they had been engaged and had gone to work the experiment terminated at the close of the first day, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 When she comes, you do the talking, and don't forget that my name is Jen- mic" said Miss Eddy.
 "And mine is Dennis, I guess," put in her friend just as the door swung open.
 'Why-er''- stammered the appoint ed spokesman.
 'ewe noticed this ad.,'' she continued, blushing, as she handed Mrs. Goldsmith a clipping from morning paper, land we'd like positions as first and second girls
 sI could scarcely believe that such an errand would bring to my door girls so we'll groomed," said Mrs. Gold smith the other day in telling of her part in the affair. "But invited them in and asked them if they thought it would be possible for them to care for so large house."
 oh, yes,' said Miss Eddy. I've worked for the last i've years
 Tn ChicagoT asked in surprise.
 Well, no-at home,' replied the girl.
 'I was so delighted at the prospect of having honest home girls that real ly didn't mind their not having refer ences
 q told them that I was very partic- ular and that it would be necessary for them to learn my ways of doing work. They both said they were pro dcient in general housework, but when I mentioned laundry their faces fell I glanced at their soft, white hands and realized that had gone a step toe far. I decided to take them and pay them $4 and 8 a week and send out the laundry work"
 -@That suited us splendidly," said Miss Eddy as she told her side of the adventure. "We had planned to stay week if we could and get some ex. perience in the routine of real domes Syramatic ability would not carry LIS Through twenty-four hours.''
 Did we enjoy the day? Well, ] guess" answered Miss Rand to the query of friend Tt was more fur Ahan a circus. All that bothered us was our names.
 We were shown to our room, and such a pretty little place it was. There we donned our caps and white aprons We hurried down to prepare lunch. Or this meal our future seemed to hang We felt the necessity of it's passing without flaw, and it did. Its success was due to our strict attention to busi ness.
 After lunch we cleared the table ano washed the dishes This was all very simple. Then we dusted and did little scrubbing. It seemed to Us that we were working fast, but somehow il soon came time to start dinner Wt rather enjoyed the prospect of serving through another meal, for it was evi dent that we had made good at lunch
