too.
In a little tea shop tried to get
a bit OF lunch at o'clock the other
day. Forgetful of the late, hour 1
proceeded to order completely from
the menu. when the waitress inter
rupted. 1 looked at her and saw
genuine sorrow on her face as she
explained alphabetically that there
was no more of some OF the things
] desired She put II as though II
were a personal omission on her
part for which she alone was blame
worthy
l Easped. For how often had I
not heard our smart white-starched
American mattresses scornfully
twirI the menu as they announced,
too late for that''-meaning half
dozen or more dishes on the menu.
And the implication is that anyone
who dares to have lunch as late as
. o'clock shouldn't expect anything
to be left,
Courtesy is something not in the
makeup of most business women
who serve the public. There are
some exceptions. | speak of the
rank and file. Saleswomen are no
toriously contemptuous: Mattresses
are. to all purposes. duchesses in
coEnita; even some OF our conduc-
torettes handle the poor public none
too gently. Perhaps the telephone
girls are the only big exception of
a class OF women serving the
public. for they are almost invari-
ably courteous.
Welcome to the French work
women in our ranks IL they will
help us acquire the habit OF I'M
falling courtesy!

Doubtless. there are many things
which the American girl can learn

TO think Of her chiefly as fount
Of ideas in the matter OF clothes.
But more important still - the
manner Of the Frenchwoman. In
several cases recently / have had
the good fortune to observe some
Frenchwomcn who are now work

American Co-workers was anything
but flattering to the latter.

NJ OW, let me see. Little Puss
nj Junior was aboard the Noah's
Ark, and we left off in the
last story just as the supper
bell rang. Well, as soon as the
three Noah boys heard it they
washed their hands and combed
their hair before coming to the
table. Shem pulled out his moth
er's chair and Ham lifted Puss up
into his, although Puss could easily
have jumped up.
After the supper table was clear
ed and the dishes washed Mrs.
Noah and Puss went up on deck,
where they found Captain Noah
contentedly smoking his pipe. The
three boys were having merry
time with the little dog. The rain
had stopped and the sky was full
OF stars
81 don't know how much of a
rainfall we have had this time"
said Captain Noah. but it must
have been pretty heavy, for there
seems TO be as much water around
as there was when ii rained forty
days and forty nights"
And just then, ell of a sudden,
a harsh, grating noise was heard,
and everybody jumped up. Have
we struck a rock?" inquired Mrs.
Noah anXiously.
Il don't know" answered Cap
tain Noah. peering over the side.
Il can't see bottom"
Suddenly the Ark stopped alto
Petker. Guess we're aground now,
all right" said Japhet. Its too
dark to tell much about it, though"
NO. it isn't" cried a deep. gurg-
ling voice at the bow, and their
astonished eyes saw the head of a
whale looming up like an iceberg.
81 have a passenger for you" con-
tinued the whale. He doesn't like
his present mode Of travel, SO I'm
going to ship him over to you"
How do you know we want
him." inquired Captain Noah, going
forward to investigate. I'VE have
a pretty full house as things are.
And. besides, he might be a Jonah"
That's just who he is" spouted
the whale, with a gleeful gurgle,
and before anyone could say Jack
Robinson" Mr.. Jonah appeared upon
the deck OF the Ark, and with q

1t was evening. and the conduc-

crossed over and drew up at the
bank.
No one stirred. and, after waiting
q second or two. the conductor ran
up the stairs two steps at time.
Didn't you say you wanted the
