II Is generally understood that OF the
thousands Of young ladies who act as
clerks for the Government. those Of
the Civil Service Commission are among
the most exemplary in truthfulness and
good department.
This supposition was rudely shattered
last week however II came about in
this way: One Of the fair sex from
Mr.. Halloran's room, OF the division OF
appointments, with her very dearest
girl friend from the room devoted 70
stenographe went 10 a certain we'll
known restaurant for lunch They had
a perfectly grand luncheon. and, while
they ate It. talked about dresses and
hats and how they "adored" the first
lines OF Virgil about "arma virumque
cano" (the correspondents Latin Is a
little rusty, but perhaps these words
are correctly given). After they had
eaten whole squads" Of olives and
green peppers and ice cream and things
they bethought themselves OF the fact
that they must pay their fare for the
fare" they had eaten And then, Oh
hOrridsi one OF the girls discovered
her purse contained a sample of yOile
CWhatever that ls) four car tickets. two
hairpins. a looking glass, and cents!
The other young lady's pocketbook con-
tributed to this unique collection

paratus for applying same 20 the face.
three more hairpins. another looking
glass @ and cents. Between them
they thus had Is cents and a millinery
store The combination wasn't enough
for the haFd-heaTted cashier. Some
thing had 10 be done. and quickly. The
very dearest girl friend from the
stenographers' room solved the prob
lem. She found a pencil IN her hair
and proceeded 20 doctor the meal tic
ket. She scratched of and added to and
deducted from until. mirabile dictu. that
meal ticket called for exactly l5 cents
In cold hard-earned Government cash,
very fair price for two excellent dinners.
Tradition has It that on the following
day these truthful and conscientious
girls very materially added to- without
once deduCting from, their luncheon
price list. with the result that their APP
petites were appeased, and, what Is bet
ter. the fair reputation Of the commits
stun's fair ones for being tair Ninal-
