Miss Flossie Carter, our new assist
ant bookkeeper and accountant, was
hardly up to connpisseur's standard
OF beauty, but she. was pleasant-very
pleasant. Hitherto the book work had
been done by men. Old Armstrong;
who had been superintendent of that
department until his hair had nearly
grown white at it. came near revolving
when he was introduced to the bright
haired young woman whom had come
to help him toll. She was q good
worker-for a while. Armstrong said
she could keep books, and that it was
the only time he ever saw woman
who could. She often came into the
Office about quitting time, and we had
congenial little chats together. She
was pretty well posted on the theater.
and knew all sorts of odd little places
about town where one could get a
dainty supper and not be bothered by
too many eyes. She kindly offered
to lead me to coy cafe of the sort
one evening and I telephoned out to
my, wife, Mercedes. that business en-
gagements would prevent my return

Flossie, and she addressed them by
their first names After supper we

Side LIGHTS ;nn "a Public Office.

Henry A. Castle, auditor Of the post
Office department., taps strange veins
of human nature in the conduct of his
Office. Careless, Ignorant and De-
faint Postmasters, contributed by
him to the March McClure's, is a col
lection of the queer hotsan caught in
the web of red tape. From a Texas
town a courteous citizen sent:in q milo
protest against the too strenuous man
ner of the lady postmistress.
1--WE don't set up any claim that our
manners are all they should be but
we'd like TO be reasoned with and
helped along. The postnEistress here
is a worthy woman, all right, but she
certainly is rude and hasty. One day
last week, the mayor Being some
flushed up and careless, refused to re-
move his hat and bow on asking for
the official mail, whereupon his hat was
shot off and plumb ruined. There S
another thing we don't think is fair.
This postmistress won't let niggers
and greasers come into the Office under
any consideration. We amt over fond
of niggers and greasers ourselver, but
it is sure dise0mmod fog the lead
ing citizens to have to go to nhe post
Office personally to get theirmail, just
because this lady don't like to see
anything but gentleman. We don't
like to appear &aultfnding and plea
yunish where a lady is concerned, but
ghis one I IN talking about is sure ar
bitrary and abrupt. and we'd like to
have her toned down some.'

In the room is placed an 'selysian

were people continually passing. In
