~AY, honest! don't some women
- give you pain? Last year when
- Perky gave me the two weeks
pay and told me to chase myself out and
get the honest working girls annual
coat of tan made bee line for one of
those "swept-by-ocean-bree places in
the turned-up trousers district of New
Jersey, and came back so mosquito bit
you had to pry the welts apart to see the
tan between them. You can believe me
or not, but when you strolled on the
Boardwalk the noise of folks slapping
mosquitoes sounded like the loud ap-
plause when the lady in the green silk
Ginger gets through reciting "Curfew
Must Not Ring Tonight" at the Musca-
tine County Chautauqua. There is more
good red blood shed at one of those
Jersey coast places than in a fair-to-
middling South American revolution.
When a girl gets through taking an
evening stroll with a nice fellow and
gets back to her room and looks at her
arms she don't know whether she has
the measles or the hives.
So this year it was far from the stung
ankle for little Suzanne What's the
use buying perfectly good silk stockings
and then scratching holes in them to al
leviate the cruel sting of the well-known
Jersey buzzards? l got the dope from
friend of mine that the only joyful
place to spend the two weeks advance
pay was up in the hills-you know-rip-
pling brook, shady nook, girl with book,
and that sort of thing, with something
TO climb besides stairs and something to
see besides Mrs. Grogan's weeks wash.
Not that the weeks wash is bad seeing,
but, honest! when Grogan has but two
shirts to his name, and it is the blue one
week and the gray the next a rear-hall-
room girl does get to long for something
with stripes or spots. When you get
so that the view from your window is
so monotonous that when Mrs. Grogan's
wash has a new pair of stockings on
the line you feel like Roosevelt discov-
ering new river, and want to write to
the newspapers about it, it is time you
let Your eyes see something new.

LIKED EMPTY HOUSES

$40 she earned Martha resigned her DO.
sition.
She and her mother worked fast and
furiously after that And before sum.
mer had fairly set in and the dull sea,
son in house hunting had arrived they
had taken in almost $500 over the cost OF
advertising and postage. After that the
fees were intermittent, and Miss Brown
and her mother took a little vacation
and returned to town in August to get
ready for the big autumn moving rush.
That was half dozen years ago. To-
day Miss Martha Brown, professional
house hunter, has a yearly income that
almost any one would be proud OF. Her
fee is no longer a fixed S.. She varies
it, on a percentage basis, according to
the rent or buying price of the house
or apartment she finds.
She has never taken a commission
from agents or owners, although they
have besieged her with offers. For her
influence, one way or the other, means
much to her clients. But she has found
it better not to do anything that might
suggest favoritism.
She soon supplemented her simple
task of finding houses with many close
ly related ones. Owners go to her if
their apartments do not rent readily,
and she suggests slight changes in ar
rangements or decoration that make
them more popular. Puzzled house hunt
ers ask her to choose decorations for
their new houses, sometimes even to
help them furnish them. So she has in
cluded lectures on interior decorating
in her recreations of the past years, and
her name is on the subscription list to
various periodicals dealing with house
furnishing. All Of these additional du-

houses were more difficult to see, fol
they needed a passport from the agent
But an air of importance was the only
passport needed to make the obliging
elevator boys show e. her empty apart,
ments.
Matte Brown-Miss Martha Brown
as she was on the pay roll of the real
estate ofice-was a faithful stenog-
rapher. But there was no room in the
real estate Office for high-class, highly
paid private secretary, so the chances
for advancement were small. Mattie's
duties were not very arduous, and she
could expect no very great salary in
return for them. At the end of three
years she was receiving fifteen dollars
a week
In the meantime she and her mother
had lived happily. They had made
friends and had grown thoroughly ia
miliar with the big city in their wan
derings after business hours. To be
sure, the knowledge that Mattie's sal
ary had probably reached its maximum
limit, if she stayed in the real estate Of
fee, and that the small hoard of money
they had had when they arrived in the
city was gradually disappearing some
times worried them. But they were both
hopeful.
One spring day Matte received let
ter from the husband of an old friend.
He wrote that his wife was i'll, that they
were coming to the city to live and that
her illness required them to board for
a few weeks while they looked around
for a permanent home Could Matte
help them out?
All her old love of empty houses, all.
her new knowledge of the real estate
situation in the city, came to her assist
anee. Of course she could help him out.
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

the various houses she knew about; sh,
worked out changes in the arrangement
of partitions, and in her mind she redec
GRATED and furnished the houses il
which nobody lived.
When Matte Brown was in her las
year in high school the family fortune
dwindled, as frequently they have ;
most discouraging habit of doing wher
young men and women are just abou
ready to take care of themselves. Mat
tie finished the year and was graduated
and then she set about to find a way tc
make living.
There was no time to fit herself to
become a teacher. Anyway she did moi
feel that she was fitted to teach. She
possessed no special talent. She knew
that a knowledge of stenography
opened the door to many golden oppor-
tunities. She had read this statement
over and over again. So in the quickest
order possible she mastered stenog-
raphy.
She was clever and quick, and she
was successful in gaining the first posi-
ton she applied for-that of stenog-
rapher in a big real estate Office in a
large Western city not far from her
old home. She took her mother with
her to share the small room which she
found in a quiet, questionable street,
and together the two made the best of a
beginners wages in stenography and the
remnants of their past competence. The
mother carefully drew on her small
store of money, cooked and sewed for
her daughter and made the simple rooms
they shared homelike. The daughter
worked every day in the Office.
Matte enjoyed her work in the real
estate Office She had never outgrown
her love for empty houses. And she
found the up-to-date apartments of the
big city eevn more interesting than the
neat little new houses or the ramshackle
old ones of her native town. And after
oficethours, in search OF amusement, she
and her mother would wander about
and look at the apartments that Matte
made notes about in the Office, The
The Washington herald., 1914-07-19

She knew just the apartment he want
ed. He had told her the rent he wanted
to pay. And the next day she got the
real estate agent she worked for tc
promise to hold the apartment she had
in mind until she had received an an
swer from the letter she had immediate
ly sent to her friends husband.
When the newcomers had signed the
lease, the real estate firm offered Matte
small commission-which she re-
fused. And the grateful young husband
asked her to accept a fee for her trou-
ble-which she likewise refused.
But the incident set her to thinking.
She was tired of the monotony and con-
fnement of Office work. She liked empty
houses. There were thousands of peo-
pie who didn't like empty houses, didn't
understand them, and didn't know any
thing about them-and they were peo-
pie who, nevertheless, had to move.
So Matte made bold business coup.
She put this advertisement in all the
evening papers:
Professional House Hunter. If you
wish to move and want help in hunting
houses, consult Miss Martha Brown,
Box A 3d."
Then Martha and her mother secured
all the papers for advertisements of
Houses and Apartments Wanted"
They answered all of them, writing neat
cards stating that Miss Martha Brown
would be glad to call, get particulars,
submit a list of available houses or
apartments in the desired locations, and
take charge of all arrangements up to
the signing of the lease. Fee, S..
At first the answers to the cards and
advertisements were not very numerous.
But within two weeks Miss Brown was
able to lead four grateful tenants up to
four different real estate dealers or
