HER SIIDE=-ANID HIJ
THE SERVANT SPEAKS
By ZoE BECKLEY

During the days that followed the fiasco of Perkins. the houseman, Cora had hard work to keep up her courage and seem cheerful. Great troubles en- gender sort of opposing force You brace yourself against a hard blow. When you have met and fought it you have gained in strength and wis dom. It is the little knocks and pushes, unexpected and nagging, that take the joy out of life and bring nothing in return. Such, to Cora, was the servant problem.
 David replaced the purse Perkins had stolen with a wonderfully wrought bag of soft satiny leather, gold clasped with a setting of sap- phire-her birth stone. Within was what Cora termed the handsomest yellowback she had ever seen"
 Indeed, money was plentiful these days. Cora often gazed with moist eyes at her closetful of pretty frocks her dainty footwear set in rows on the shoe shelves, her luxurious toilet accessories, chosen piece by piece bv David, gold monogrammed, richly plain.
 Think of them being all mine-all earned by Dayy's brain, all mine be- cause of Davy's love"
 But there were days when Cora's tears were those of weariness and vexation; days when the servantless condition of her kitchen got on her nerves; days when, work as she would. dust and disorder reigned. She con suited her neighbors and found they had the same difficulty getting and keeping household help. Three of her acquaintances actually closed their homes and took suites at the Colony Park clubhouse, weary of trying to solve the problem.
 One day. in answer to an advertise ment Cora put in the newspapepers, a trim young woman called.
 I've been a factory worker, Mrs Temple" the girld told Cora, "and be- fore that I was in service. I'm going to tell you the servants side of this thing. It's true girls go into factories sooner than work in peoples houses. You ladies can't see why. I'll tell

But no girl likes to spend her evenings reading a book in the kitchen wait ing for the bell to ring from the par Tor and passing around cocktails and eats at all hours-way past midnight sometimes. Oh, I've worked in fan- lies where the lady never considered her maids human beings at all; only like the water or electric light-always on tap. Girls will work in big houses where there's buffers and chauffeurs and gardeners to make things more interesting. But in these one or two servant homes there's nothing in it. That's why you ladies can't get help.'
 Cora engaged the girl. And for a short time life went smoother at the Temple home.
