S Helen hung up the telephone re-
ceiver, Warren looked over his
paper with a grllff:

paper with a gruff:
What made you invite her for to-
morrow? Don't you know it's Thurs
day-Maggie's day out?"
mo, dear-not this week"
Like to know why! Didn't we have
the Stevens here last Thursday?"
ooh, so we did," exclaimed Helen
helplessly. why didn't you tell me?
Didn't have a chance, the way you
were jabbering on there"
But, dear, what shall do about it ?"
We'll, you've asked her to dinner
haven't you? Since we can't have din
ner here Wen have to take her out"
Warren turned back to his paper,
while Helen brooded over the needless
expense Of dinner at a restaurant.
He always ordered so lavishly, partic-
ularly when anyone was with them.
1t would mean eight or nine dollars at
least, and Miss Merrill would much
rather have a home dinner. She lived
in an apartment hotel and had often
told Helen she was sick Of restaurants.
Maggie's Attitude.
Just now she had called up to say
she was leaving for the South Satur-
day and Helen had thoughtlessly asked
her to dinner for tomorrow. But why
couldn't they have dinner at home any
way? Maggie, the white cook and
serving maid. could prepare the des-
sert and the salad before she went
off She would ask her about 1t now.
Dinner was almost ready, and when
Helen went into the kitchen, Maggie
was Dreaming the potatoes.
Maggie, I forgot tomorrow was
your afternoon off, and I've just asked
Miss Merrill for dinner. Don't you
think you could fix things before you
go 50 7 could get dinner without much
trouble"
Don't know what | could fix ma'am,"
answered Maggie. as she beat a spoon
full OF yellow butter into the white
frothy potatoes.
"WEv. you could at least make the
dessert and fix the salad, couldn't
you?"
We'll. never get away from here
till o'clock takes me all morning
t. do the work. | don't see where I'd
have any time"
II was so rarely that Helen ever
asked Maggie to 90 anything extra
that now she flushed with resentment
at her blunt unwillingness. To leave
her strictly alone seemed the only way
to get along with Maggie, for while
she did her routine work faithfully
and well, if allowed to do It her own
way. she was always sullen when in
terfeded with or when asked to do
anything additional
And now she launched into a long
excited argument about how she had
planned to go to South Orange to-
morrow afternoon. and if she stopped
to fix things for dinner she could not
get off al all: how with this big apart
ment and everything to do she never
had a moment to herself; how she
could not slight her work and could
do no more than she did.
Above everything else Helen hated
an argument or d discussion OF any
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-03-04

A great many things flashed through
Helen's mind in the next few moments
the drudgeIy of homework, and the
greater drudgery of the scrub or char
woman, so often the fate of those too
Old for hOuseWork. And Maggie was
no longer young. Perhaps she had been
out in the kitchen thinking of Just these
things, wondering, If she lost this posi-
tion, how long it would be before she
could get another and how much long
er before she could get none at all.
Then Helen thought of herself, Sc
cure in the protection of her home and
her husband. Surely she could afford
10 be generous to this other woman
who was so alone.
After dinner she crept into Warren's
lap and told him of all she had been
thinking at the table, ending with:
Dear she DOES do her work we'll
and, after all, that's the main thing
Let's try to put up with the rest. We
can afford to-" nesting her face against
his neck. "We've got so much, dear,
and just think how little she has"
But the cold practicablity of the
morning often hardens the softened
mood of the night before
Maggie Does the Work.
And rs Maggie served breakfast with
Ia stoltd silence, in which there was a
strong hint of sullennness, Helen's SYM
pathies began to wane. After all. there
was really no excuse for her attitude
OF last evening. Since so few extra
things were asked of her she should
do them cheerfully and without discus
sion, The more Helen thought of this.
the more she felt that Maggie DID
dominate her, and that she was foolish
to allow H.
so all morning she did not go into

Helen S Thoughts.

about suddenly enters the room.
Well what did she have to say ?"
asked Warren.
Then. as Maggie went out:
Dear she was just as sullen and
disagreeable as she could be-"

patiently. Il just asked her if she
couldn't fix the dessert and salad before
she left tomorrow. and she began one
of her long arguments about all she
had to do and of how hard the work
was here" Then, quickly, as Maggie
entered again, "They went to the opera
Friday-Tosca,' l think it was"
Warren only grunted. He would not
exert himself to talk for the benefit of
the maid

It S Your Own Fault. "

Helen continued the discussion of
Mrs. Dawson until Maggie served the
roast and vegetables. and would have
no excuse to return until she rang for
her to bring the salad Then she re-
lieved her mind by telling Warren all
about it--how Maggie was growing
more and more domineering and set
in her ways
"Well, it's your own fault" shrugged
Warren. She wouldn't dominate you
if you didn't let her"
But dear what can l do? In 80
many ways she's the best girl we've
ever had. She's scrupulously clean and
works all the time-but she can't bear
to be told anything. If | tell her how
to do the least little thing. she always
has some reason or argument why It
can't be done that way"
Wouldn't stand for it for minute"
declared Warren. But, of course if
you're as easy mark as that--she's go
ing to put it over you"
When Helen finally rang for the salad
she noticed that as Maggie brought 1t
in she glanced quickly from her to
Warren. To Helen there was something
pathetic in the glance, as though she
knew they had been discussing her.
Her face was slightly flushed. too
