From the New York Evening Post.
To a certain young housewife, un-
used to New York and apartment ex-
istence, the most terrifying Of the new
experiences was tNS dumb waiter

self evident as she gave orders and
received goods, It was true that the

the butcher late with his order, and
the grocer's boy surly and careless
But help came from an unexpected
source. She had dared to suggest one
morning to the laundry man that a col
lar was missing. The usual grun de-
NAL had made her ears tingte, when
from above there came a voice:
"Kape a civil tongue IN yer head,

Then, as the bully below departed.
muttering something about its not be-
ing his fault, the same comforting
brogue resumed in miider key:
Don't We mind Thin, lady. They
need a calm down livery now and
then, an I'm the girl to give it to
them. So III look afther ye."
And she has. Maggie, cook and
hOusekeeper for the bachelor gentle
man on the floor above, has dispelled
the iumbwaiter terror.
