Uncle Billy, can l go to the roller rink with you
this EVENING"" broke in Tim, the 10-year-od son of
the house upon this discussion of maids and
cooking. Uncle Billy put his finger to his tightly
closed lips with a comica glance at his sister, and
shcuk his head sill ntly
"Of course can go. Mamma promised yester-
day" cried Rhoda, eagerly
"If Billy is willing" amended Mrs. Hamilton,
ashamed of her temper by this time.
'If | might be allowed word in the matter,
breathed Billy, with a twinkle in his eyes which
the children read correctly, and with whoop OF
delight ran for their outdoor things.
Aren't you rather hard on Billy?" asked Mr.,
Hamilton quietly of his troubled wife when the
two were alone

"A Madam Mantels industrial Agency" the one

advertised description. In this instance Mrs. Ham

lect for her a suitable maid, for her own nerves
over the telephone, in her conflict with the terrible
servant girl question
'Those ladies who expect their help TO be expert
cooks, and dining room girl, chambermaid and
laundress all in liable to get wear and
tear on their nerves." remarked the madam, pro-
prietor of this much sought help wanted establish

the young man. Somewhere some time he had
seen the new maid, he sure of 1t, and his con-

stronger daily as he watched her.
THE kitchen became the most interesting spot in
the house to Mr.. Billy Slade after this, and he
was forever thinking up excuses for going into IT,

as a city fiat affords, but beyond
that, the kitchen was simply ter
rible in It's utter disregard Of the
comfort OF its inmate.
"It is q good thing Anna, that
your trunk is small" said Mrs.
Hamilton, as she threw open the
door Of room off the kitchen. so
tiny that the iron single bed nearly
filled IL. There were no convent
ences, and what n place TO sleep
after a hard days work, with no
provision for air except the tiny
window opening into the air shaft,
and the walls heated through and
through with the operations of the
kitchen, in which were laundry
tubs, sinks, a table, ironing board,
cupboards, a great refrigerator, and
a range capable OF heating the
whole to a furnace like tempera-
ture, and all in a space no larger
than her own bedroom in her coun-
try home.
For once Mrs. Hamilton's eyes
dropped as the young woman, her
grey eyes searching her face mean
while, asked the question:: And
you expect me to do the work OF
your family, and eat and sleep in
this place, Mrs. Hamilton"
"The rooms are small, but 1t is
the fault OF the builder, not mine.
Goodness knows we pay enough for
them" was the answer, and some
how the lady was not at her usual
arrogant ease with those clear, un-
abashed eyes looking into hers.

began her first invest cation or one

to a favorable spot for making
further observations.
"Who is the princess who has set

asked Billy after dinner. 1t must
be confessed that he had forgotten
his usual we'll bred manner, and
had actually stared as the new
