after visit with Mrs. R. Claypool,
ia North Marion street.
The San Francisco call., 1910-04-03

She laughed-the low ripple of fun that
is as fresh and clear as a girls.
Thank you for bringing me back
reversing the lever! 1 did just that
thing! My cook was Margaret Daily.
She had lived with me for two years
She was neat, Industrious, a good cook,
and so far as l knew, honest She was
not economical and all my efforts had
not succeeded in teaching her thrift She
had a free hand with groceries, and
very little sense of proportion in utiliz-
ing left-overs of meat Or of anything
else, for that matter Certain indica-
tions of a desire to put by her savings
for some specific purpose showed that
wages were a prime factor in her cal
culations of ways and means. She
might waste my provisions. and she took
pride in setting a good table before my
family and friends. She knew the worth
of noney-as currency.
When my plan was matured in my
own mind, l went to the kitchen when
/ was sure to find her at leisure. The
place was red up for Sunday the
Saturday baking was out of the way
and as 1 had reason to know. Sat
urday's bills were paid. The slate was
clean for new deal-that Is to say, for
next weeks expenses. AS simply as the
millionaire had expounded his policy to
me, and in homelier terms, to suit her
capacity. l laid the scheme before her.

know me better in two years time than
to suspect me of any sinister designs.
But she did not When she finally agreed
to make the experiment, it was with a
giggle that strove with the respect she
felt was due to my position She had
the national sense&of humor, and she
saw the funny side of the arrangement.
Upon one thing i was insistent. My
table was to be well furnished. There
was to be no scrfmping here and sordid-
ness there. We were to fare as lux
uriously as before. But brains and in
genuity were to work upon the problem.
For example, if we had rich cakes this
week. we would get UP simpler sweets
for the next. If a roast turkey graced
the board on Sunday we tossed up en-
trees from left-overs, and bought cheap
er meats for the rest of the week. And
we bought in small quantities. That
was a great gain in her estimates of
what it sbehooved well-to-do people, who
were rich in her eyes. TO do. We bought
no more -four by the barrel; no sugar
by the half barrel, and no butter by the
tub. When the girl once mastered the
idea, she went at it with a will that
amazed me. 1 was even less prepared
for the reduction of Sc in the next weeks
bills and that the amount fell 81 be-
low our allowance. Margaret's grin
as I put silver half dollar in her hand
as her dividends was indescribable.

ing year. In the eleven months during

which we worked the joint stock
scheme she had pocketed, on an aver
age. a dollar a week as her rightful
share of the money saved
Mary Callahan was her immediate
successor. and 1 had hard work to en-
list her cooperation. 1 suspected her
more than once of getting hold OF the
bills by stealth, to make sure that I
did not keep the larger part of the
savings for myself. Apparently salts
fed at last that 1 was dealing fairly
with her she became overzealous.
and but for my energetic interfer-
ence. she would have reduced us to
starvation rations.
That was twenty years ago. I have
not been uniformly successful in con-
vincing my cooks that their interests
and mine are identical. 1 have the
prejudices Of centuries to fight. For
this reason 1 never spring my theory

what manner of stuff she is made be-

the joint stock company has saved mo
many dollars annually and that the
drill in habits of frugaHty and in
genious devices for lessentng family
expenses has been worth far more to
my cooks in after life. Make IL worth
their while to guard against the little
leaks that exhaust the household
treasury, and they will learn the les

actually paid into their hands weekly
