Men, MAIL THOSE LETTERS!
Trap That Dorchester Woman Laid

Therefore, Be Wise.

The wife Of Dorchester man who
had the traditional failing-he forgot
to mail letters-has cured him. The
mail is delivered at their home before
the breakfast hour, which Is compara-
lively late. One morning she said to
her husband:
did you have any mail this morn
ing dear?' ....~
"Only a circular" he answered, as
he BIZ into fine brown slice Of toast

trous, and her complexion clear and
pink. When she smiled there was
charm that frightened her whole face.
It came as birthright from mother
who had been born near Killarney.
But Tess only saw the red Hair and
;freckles, and hated them with all her
heart.
The next year " was much worse.
The boys and girls in the factory
formed social club, and gave little
dances and picnics, and Tess was left
out with old Julia, the scrubwoman,
and Lizzie, the little hunchback sorter
of labels. She tried to think she didn't
care, but when Tom Blake came to
work on the freight elevator, she knew
she did. She'd have given everything
she owned to make Tom look at her
as he looked at some Of the other
girls, and especially at Telka.
Telka was one Of the experienced
hands on the bridal cake boxes. She
pasted on the satin striped paper and
the delicate, frostlike lace Innings, and
always sang as she worked. She was
from northern Hungary, with the mys-
terry Of the Magyars in her curious, at
tractive eyessand slow smile. Once
when one Of the boys had tried to kiss
her, she hA1 slapped him, and when he
hurled choice bit Of good old Bow
cry. "call down.. at her return, Telka
had promptly seized her scissors and
chased him downstairs into corner
until he begged her pardon.
The second week, as Tess was going
down on the freight elevator at noon
time, Tom took bunch of flowers from
a pasteboard shoe box ut his feet and
gave them to Telka. They were not
city flowers, Tess could see that. There
was Wifi Of rose geranium and
sweet alyssum, with heliotrope and
mignonette.
"We live up in Fordham," Tom said.
Mother picked that bunch for me
this morning from her garden. Like
it?"
Telka smiled. her face behind the
flowers. Surely she liked them. Tess
watched IL EN- both with little heart

that bloomed overnight like flower
itself and brought the luster. to the
eyes and the color to the cheeks, of
girls like Telka2 When the Hungarian
girl got off at the sixth floor, Tom turn

It has never seemed quite so hard as
that Saturday morning. For over a
year Tess had worked In the big pa.
per box factory on MacDougal street,
carrying tall piles Of boxes back and
forth as they were finished Dy the
older 'hands," and ready for the pack
erS.
She was fifteen when she started in,
and the 81 a week had seemed so
much to the little family tucked away
in three rooms on Sullivan street.
With her mother and Danny helping,
too, it wasn't hard to get alons /. all,
and when the weather was good they
all went over into Washington square
at night to rest and dream awhile.
But up in the factory the other girls
had never admitted her into that in
ner circle Of friendly intimacy that al
ways exists where there are fellow
workers. Perhaps it was because she
wasn't pretty. The first week she
had gone there Carl, the shipping
clerk, had sized her up jocularly and
remarked that Seshe'd be some frost at
the Winter Garden with that face
hung on her."
Tess had heard and hated him with
all her heart, even while the hot tears
filled her eyes, and she bit her lip to
keep back the swift retOrt. She had
taken good look at herself In the lit
tie crooked mirror over the wash basin
where the girls put on their hats, and
it was perfectly true. She wasn't
bit pretty. She didn't know how to
do her hair attractively and in style,
and she had freckles, and her mouth
was too large. There was no one to tell
