hall to-day. Somebody had told heI
what had heard about her, and she
stopped to tell me there wasn't word
Of truth In It, and that she had always
behaved herself enough sight bette,
than those who tried to run her down
just because they were Jealous, and
that she wasn't going around talking
about somebody else all the time. She
said Mrs. Snifkins was only q biscuit
shooter in q cheap restaurant before
she met him and that Mrs. Wright
used to clerk In toy store. It seems
as though folks who got their start
that way would be more careful what
they said about others.
Tuesday.-Spent the evening with
Mrs. Holcomb and Mrs. Burton Mrs
Holcomb showed US some fancy work
she Is doing-going to give it away.
She's awfully stuck on her work, and
claims to have taken lessons, but an
told Mrs. Burton I'd be ashamed tc
have such looking thing around the
house, much less give 1t away
Wednesday, to the matinee
with Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Burton
Mrs. Holcomb was going, but wheE
Mrs. Roberts asked me If was going
and I said yes, Mrs. Holcomb remem.
bered she had another date she had
forgotten all about. Don't see what
made her act so to-day. She was
awfully disagreeable. We went up in
the gallery, just for fun, as Mrs. Bur.
ton sd. re play was about a
Frer, ,'c IN who got awfully mad
one tine and kicked her slippers off
and talked perfectly awful. / didn't
hear much of 1t but that, for we were
so busy talking. Mrs. Roberts and
Mrs. Burton seemed to know almost
every woman in the house, and
learned a lot Of things about them.
Miss Browning sat downstairs with a
gentleman. Mrs. Burton said 1t was
funny a girl who claimed to be work.
ing for q living could get OF to go to
a matinee, and with man, at that.
Mrs. McCuen was there, and she had
the loudest looking friend with her.
Saw lots Of people never expected
to find there.
Thursday.-Well, I am mad clear
through. Here l invited Mrs. Burton
and Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Stevens
to play cards tonight, and planned a
chatting dish luncheon and just as II
was going nicely and l had the coffee
in my new percolator the manager
slipped a note under the door saying
there was no cooking allowed. Didn't
have the nerve to tell me to my face,
| suppose l was out of sight. All we
had to eat was ice water and waters.
] wish all the rules and the manager
would go hang, and that apartment
houses had never been discovered.
Friday. = The laundress never
showed up this week, and it was up to
me to wash out few pieces in the
washbowl Such time. l got along
all right with the handkerchiefs, but
when 1t came to the flannels l was
stuck. put them to soak in the bath
tub, and then found | had no place to |
dry them. Put them over the radiators
and turned on the steam. They dried,
all right, but If Charley doesn't have
to use shoe horn to get into his
underwear l miss my guess. This
apartment house life is great maybe.
Saturday.-Mrs. Watson told me
hey were out to the theater last
hight and got home about IL, and that
'ome young woman In the building
lad had fellow and he was just leav-
ng when they came in. She didn't
Inow who the girl was, for she didn't
Zee her, but she knew 1t was so, for
he fellow got out of the elevator just
Is they got in. don't see what they
ire thinking Of here in the house, hav-
ng men hanging around until that
lour, even II the women know no
,etter
Sunday.-Had good joke ON Mrs.
Watson. She was telling Mrs. Wal.
ermfre about seeing that man who
lad been calling on that girl, and
What she thought about It, When she
described him Mrs Waltermire laughed
md said that was her brother, that he
'rought her up to the house, going as
ar As her door. Mrs. Watson felt
.wful cheap. YoU can't be too care.
