BY Norman.

q NCW OAA,J d4y "a llldu WIZ
is several times a millionaire lives
with his wife in beautiful coun-
try home on Long Island Their
staff of servants comprises three
men and five women.
Recently they had guests from
the city at dinner. 1t happened
that the maid whose duty it is to
wait at table had been given
day off. And who do you sup
pose waited at table? Was it the
housemaid? Was it the woman's
personal maid? Was it any one
of the other women servants
none of whom had anything to do
at the time?
It was not. The hostess her
self waited on her guests. She
did not dare ask any of the ser
wants to go outside her own par
ticular little sphere of action.
: The strange part of it is that
this woman is noted for her kind
ness to those whom she employs.
Their food is precisely what is
served to herself and her huS-
band, and they have all they
want. Their quarters are com
Portable and we'll furnished. Their
duties are light.
Truly, the domestic service
problem has some queer angles.

Dear Justice Stapleton: The
bearer, Mr.. Junge, is my farm
foreman, and is a very prudent,
intelligent and wise man, though
not glib, to say the least. He is
able to hold his tongue in all the
languages without the least diff
Guilty, which is more than can be
said of most of us in St. James.
'He wants to be made a citi-
zen. When he applied for citi-
zenship papers before, he was re-
jected for not knowing how many
members compose the national
house of representatives. I could
not help but sympathize with
him, as l did not know the num-
Der myself.
"His calm German sense and
judgment, as unerring as the
crack of doom; seem to- me far
more important, especially as he
has a good German education"
Junge got his papers.

A young man who lives in a

came a knock at the door. A bell
