Why should she not try hers?
She found four fairly good adver-

took from the waste basket her crum-

away. and sent a copy of that to each
of them.
A few minutes later Helen dropped
her letters in the mail chute, by the
elevator Which would bring the best
results-these or the ones Warren had
written
If he knew he would be furious. He
would see in this only a desire to ques-

he need not know.
Should her letters bring the servant

her pen.

GOOD gracious! You're not writing
an epistle to the president. Say any

Warren took up the papers and
looked yawningly through the sport

the note.

at length.

When he had gone, Helen took up
the advertising section again. How
many more advertisements there were
Of people who wanted servants than
those wanting work. 1t was just the
opposite in any other line of help. The
stenographers wanted were not one
