quality of the maids and thus be helpful
to the housewife" said Doctor Farsou.
"A woman would have to be trained
in her business before she became
member of the union. The eight hour
day and the forty four hour week are
other serious questions. 1t is going to
be mighty hard for any housewife to
arrange her houswork to fall within
eight consecutive hours. The most feast
BILE way probably will be for the maid
to work from II a. m. till s 80 p. m.
That would mean that the woman with
only one servant would have to get
breakfast for her family.
Then should housewife. be forced
to pay SIS week on the eight hours
a day basis. she is going to be sure
that her maid works every minute of
those eight hours. The maid who has
loafed through her daily tasks as she
pleased. who has had several hours a
day for reading, sewing or any per-
Sonal work or recreation, is going to
find herself tied down to hard and fast
office hours like the girl who works
in factory or Office
Cook Gives Her Views
Katy O'Donnell, who for many years
has cooked sor Philadelphia best
families, has her own views of eight
hour days. forty four hour weeks, and
the SIS wage without board or room. A
typical maid of the old type. competent
and resourfceful, ready to do anything
she thinks needs to be done about the
house without being told, and despising
domnepring mistress, she unhesi
tatingly gave her ideas on the subject.
"Surc and what would the house
look like if | didn't go on the job till
| II O'clock" she said. "Everything
would be in mess and I'd have to
start cleaning before | could get lunch.
"And | wouldn't at all like the idea
of living away from my work and cat
ing my meals out, no matter how high
! the wages were. I think many of the
women who say they want the union
are simply taken with the sound of
eighteen dollars They don't stop to
consider the other sides of the ques
ton. We couldn't possibly save as
much if we had to pay for our room
and board. And l don't think either
servants or mistresses will be satisfied
with any such arrangement
Employment bureaus of the city have
six to eight acquisitions for every maid
who applies. The demand is far greater
than the supply, and the quality of the
servants is generally poor. Katy O'Don
nell says many of the maids are re-
turning to Europe now that the wal
is over.
The employment experts believe thai
woman saved considerable money Will,
working in munitions plants and are
resting or travelling this summer. The
facts remain that servants are scarce
and that most of the comparatively few
who do apply ask for places at summer
resorts.

MRS. PETIT PAID
$500 A MONTH TO
SALESMAN ESCORT
Philadelphia Woman Seeks to
Break Contract in Suit
Started in New York

How a rich Philadelphia woman
bound herself to pay $500 a month to
an automobile salesman for acting as a
companion and escort was brought to
light in New York when Mrs. Katherine
Howell Petit entered suit yesterday to
set aside the agreement
She is the widow of Horace Petit,
former member of the Union League,
the University, Racquet, Art and Hunt
ingdon Valley Country Clubs. She is
now staying at Greenwood Lake. n. j.
The man holding the contract for the
position as companion escort is George
w. Boyce.
According to Mrs. Petit. and con =
firmed by the contract terms, Boyce
bound himself October 3, 1916, to act
as her escort to dinners. theatres and
'other such social functions as she
might designate, to drive any of her
automobiles for her, to take care of and
sail for her any boat or boats and to
perform any other services as com
panion as he might be required"
At the time Mr.. Boyce agreed to
spurn position as sales manager of
an automobile concern which was to
pay him $4,000 a year and in return
for his sacrifices Mrs. Petit promised
he would receive from her $500 a
month.
Mrs. Petit explained that the prin :
cipal of the trust and its management
were intrusted to the Girard Trust Com
pany, through which payments to Boyce
were made in accordance with the con
tract.
The contract, declares Mrs. Petit
was to operate for ten years. but or

DR.. GUMMERE BURIED
BESIDE HIS FATHER
Haverford College Educator
Laid at Rest in Friends Ceme-
tery-PupiIs Attend Services

DR.. Francis Barton Gummere was
buried yesterday afternoon in the little
Friends burying ground at Haverford
meeting, where his father, once presi
dent of Haverford College, was buried
before him.
d, In the drowsy summer air, in the
hush and fragrance of that lovely cam :
nus where he had taught so many young
men the meaning and spell of Beauty
the beloved teacher went to his resting
grave.
A company Of friends and former
pupils gathered at the home on college
circle to pay tribute to the brilliant
spirit that radiated such gift of friend
ship. In the quiet service, conducted
in the manner of the Friends, there was
the solemn hush of sorrow at this trag.
edy of sudden parting.
A letter was read from one of his
former pupils, quoting passage from
George Meredith, which was known and
admired by DR.. Gummere himself. DR.,
Rufus Jones and other friends paid
reyerent testimony to the spirit of the
educator.
One of DR.. Gummere's pupils says OF
him:
'It is true of DIR. Gummere, as it is
true of every man who has served his
fellows, that his life is not brought to
an end by the old riddle which will al
ways remain q mystery until we meet
it ourselves. Lover of poetry. himself
poet, he brought to his students his
own thrilling enjoyment of the beauties
of the written and spoken word. Ht
made their lives richer by his vivacity
his endless patience, and the gentle
ness of the great scholar who was never
too occupied to share his treasures o.
the mind with the humblest tyro. There
is none of his pupils that has not, since
the news of his death came, turned ovel
some of the books that DR.. Gummer'
first introduced him to. Many of thes'
will recall the old line of one Of hi
well loved ballads:
"I'm weary wi hunting, and fair
would lie dOun.'
"The great teacher has lain down il
his resting grave. For that quick spiri
slow descent to the tomb would have
been intolerable. He died, like thu
Stevenson he loved, in the full bright
ness of his powers.

and drew her into the living reom.
DONE, care SO much about It, dearest, ;"
he urged.
"How can 1 help caring? You know
how much l think of Rita, and the way
you acted, too, just as IL they hadn't
broken a date with us? You seemed
bowled over by her looks. You acted
as If nothing had happened"
"But what would you have had me
do?'' d,
"You might at least have shown them
that we felt it,
1T wouldn't have done any good.
Now, see here, Ruth, before you get
all overwrought about this thing, sup
pose you wait and see what happens |;
everything may be explained away"
But this was easier said than done.
Ruth had formed romantic attachment
for Rita, she admired her extravagantly.
she constantly excused flaws in her that
she would have heartily condemned in
any one else simply because she liked
her, and to be disappointed in her so
flagrantly was terrible disappoint
ment.
She thought of this as she put the
dinner things away in the ice box anC
glimpsed the plate of sandwiches that
she had made that morning and which
were reposing damp and cool under a
wet napkin. She drew the plate out,
dampened the napkin again and put it
back, snapped off the lights in the
kitchen and went to bed with heart
ache. She slept fitfully and dreamed
all night long.
The next morning when she saw
Scott off for business, she deliberately
closed the door as she glimpsed the door
opposite open. Then she waited ex
pectantly for ring of the bell and when
none came she was nervously angry
She forced herself to 60 about her morn
ing tasks SO as not to think Of what
| had happened, and when the bell finally
rang and she went to the door to fine
Rita standing outside, she was SO glat
to see her that she almost forgot the
incidents of last night.
Not quite though, and her manner
showed it.
! Aren't you going to let me come
in?' said Rita, purposely speaking lik'
child that has been naughty.
Ruth opened the door and maintained
n dignified silence, while Rita went into
the sunny living room and curled up II
corner of the davenport. She wore
her embroidered coat and her wonderful
hair hung about her shoulders as usual
Ruth realized as she looked at Rits
how much she was enjoying the COSY
intimacy of having Rita run in like this
of gossiping with her on subjects inter
esting to both of them. If she quarrelet
with Rita these good times would end
Perhaps, as Scott said. there was
GOOD reason for everything that ba,
happened.

WATER STREET CANTEEN
ENDS ITS USEFUL CAREER
No Sale Rung Up Cash Register and Vera and Irene
"Mopping Up"-Workers Regret Parting

"No SALE says the cash register of
the Water street canteen, and the
counter over which passed many a
tempting dish to hungry service men
with half-tilcd mustard jars, empty
sugar bowls and bundles of fresh,
clean tea towels.
Closing out is not so, enjoyable as
beginning cantecn. but the uncertain
anticipation of the start is more than
compensated by the pleasant memoir

away with them.
II am sorry to have it end says
Mrs. Churchill Williams, who has
been in charge of Water Street Can
teen for the National League of
WCmen's Service.
1--WE were different from other
canteens because we had the same
people coming in every day. We had
a hundred service men and girl yeo-
men here every day from the time the
canteen opened in December to within
the last few weeks.
Established to Feed Pier Gang
'"The war camp community service
took these two commission merchant
cellars and fitted them out and then
gave them to the league to operate.
We began our work in December to
provide a good lunch place for the
workers on Municipal Pier 10 when it
was used as n supply depot for League
Island. Now the pier is being demo
bilized and our work is finished.
Throughout the whole time, the
boys and girls who came here had
such wholesome good time. They
were always in good spirits. When
the officers mess closed the officers
came in here, too"

half months and has planned the

proved so popular.
The canteen is an attractive place and
much cooler than the street on hot
day. 1t was fully equipped for com

to transform two musty cellars into one

The shifts of fifteen women from the

meal came to the eanteen for the last
time on Saturday. For the last few
weeks the crowds have not been so
large. The service men and girl yeo-

Mrs. Williams. "but we're glad it's no
longer needed"
