An impossible Servant.

Anna Katherine Green. the well.
known novelist, discussed the servant
question at a recent dinner party in
New York.
Servants, as a class" she said,
"are excellent. l have no sympathy
with those women who. say It is I'm.
possible to get good servants. I ad.
NIT, though, that now and then an i'm.
possible servant turns up. +,
"An impossible servant, q cook.
turned up at the house OF a friend
of mine last week. This cook was
from New Hampshire. state, noted,
believe, for the naughty pride of its
Inhabitants. be they rich or poor. She
came to my friend with a high recon.
mendation from an employment
agency, but as soon as she entered
the house she began to ask the most
impairment questions.
my friend answered her questions
with civility, but in. the. end they
reached a point where civility would
no longer serve.
: ~ e you have a daughter. What
Is her name? said the new cook.
| Margaret my friend answered.
Margaret! said the cook. Dear
me! guess you'll have to call her
something else while I'm here, tor
my names Margaret, too.'"
