her hair. But what makes one stop
and wonder are her curious green
eyes, which look out at you from under
straight black eyebrows in a way al
most uncanny. She is not a type
which every one would admire, but
there is something SO arresting that,
having looked once, one must look
again. Apart from this, she has that
strange magnetic quality which at

Mrs. Phelps Stokes in an address in
New York said Of the servant ques-
ton:
"Are there not too many mistresses
who treat their servants as the lady
did in buying eggs? This lady entered
a shop and said:
"'Have you eggs?'
ayes, madam said the shopman.
"Well,' said the lady, I want
dozen absolutely fresh eggs for myself
and'-she touched the arm Of her maid,
who stood beside her-'a half dozen
not quite 80 fresh for my maid here"
