get out of her motor coat, take off her
hat, all but do her hair entirely over,
powder carefully, touch her lips with
carmine and make herself generally gor-
geous before announcing that she was
ready to go into the dining room. Ruth
and Natalie did no more than the cur
sorry powdering of their noses that
girls indulge in after they have been
unpowdered for more than five minutes
at time. Rita acted as though she had
been on long journey, while in reality
they had not been more than twenty
five minutes motoring up.
Remember this is my treat" laughed
Natalie as they sat down at the table.
Rita unbent little at this and became
| little more natural, but Ruth, remem-
bering suddenly Rita's general attitude
when they lunched together, failed to be
won over.
Rita suggested everything that was
ordered. She consulted the waiter as
though the party were hers, and Ruth
became more embarrassed and angry
every minute. What would Natalie
think? And what had gotten into Rita
to make her act this way?
They were about half finished with
lunch and the conversation that Ruth
had tried to keep natural and to in
clude Natalie was languishing when a
gay party of young people came in
and took table near their. They were
talking and laughing loudly and they
Immediately ordered drinks, Ruth, look
ing at them, did not see Rita pale sud
denly and then flush and turn away.
She did see, however, one of the men
at the next table rise and come over
to their table, rather loud person in
a checked suit, good looking in way,
but quite common. His greeting could
be heard half across the room.
"Well Rita old girl, how are you|'
One of the girls locker over then and
exclaimed and Rita, with a low excla:
nation, got up and went over to the
table to speak to her friends. A con
spicuous silence reigned between Natalie
and Ruth for a minute, then Ruth
spoke.
II know what you're thinking
Natalie. but believe me she has never
acted this way before"
Natalie was generous, but she could
not help saying, II thought she had SO
few friends"
Then Rita came back and for tht
rest of the meal, although she was con
spicuously conscious of the laughing
crowd at the adjacent table, she was
more like herself than she had beer
since they had started out, simpler. ant
much more natural than the strange
girl who had insisted upon showing
another side of herself.

IA PERvBRSE spirit entered into
"A Rita that day because she was
silly and affected during the entire trip.
She made 1t appear as il Ruth and Ma
talie were the veriest babies with abso-
lutely no experience at ALL One might
have thought that they were silly school
girls out with an older woman.
Now. any one who understands the
heart of woman will realize that 1t is
impossible to receive this treatment
sanely. An older woman considers 1t
compliment il she is treated like child,
but young woman resents 1t, particu-
larly young matron.
Natalie had always been sophisti-
Gated. She had known the life at good
hotels from child. Ruth, too, was
experienced and heartily resented the
fact that any one should consider her
capable OF being patronized. Rita s
treatment was heartily resented by both
girls. Ruth was puzzled and hurt by
it, Natalie simply arriving at the con-
ciusion that she did not see what Ruth
saw to rave about in this girl. How
ever, she tried her hardest to be nice
now that she had begun this thing.
In the car squeezed tightly together
as was necessary in the case OF crowding
three in a car meant for two, Ruth
could see that Rita was quite obviously
made up. There were blue shadows
under her eyes, and her long black
lashes had been touched with some cos
metic that made them stick together
and exaggerated their length. The
swaying blue earrings and the pert little
hat took Rita's aristocratic look quite
away from her and made her look cheap
and commonplace, pretty as she was.
Ruth could not avoid looking at Natalie
and inwardly comparing the two girls.
Natalie's usually too pale face was
touched with pink, even the lobes OF the
ears were healthily colored. Her closely
twisted blond hair was held tight
against her head by her veil, her lips
were healthily red, her little flower
tooue inconspicuous and yet beautifully
apnropriate was more than usually be-
coming. Natalie had everything that
Rita had tried to get without half try
ing. She looked the thoroughbred
while Rita looked the sham. Much as
Ruth loved Rita she was forced to
admit this.
At the fashionable little roadhouse
where Natalia drew up, the wide
screened veranda was filled with little
tables. As soon as the car was dis

Dear madam-Whereas / am willing
to be convinced that there are some SER
want girls in the world who will live up
to the blessings an eight hour working
day would confer upon them. I feel al
most constrained to say that l cannot
connect an eight -horu day with most OF
the girls who have passed in and out OF
our home. An eight hour day calls up
visions of system, things done on the dot
and cleanliness-things done on the dot
and not to be worried about again.
Let me tell you about Jennie. l feel
privileged to call her Jennie because
she called my eighteen year r-old daugh-
ter Mary the first day she worked for
me. came down the second morning
we had Jennie and found her calmly
eating orange marmalade out of the jar
by means of first sticking the spoon in
the lar, then in her mouth and then
back in the jar again. I thought per-
haps Jennie knew no better and asked
her to please dish the marmalade out
when she wanted to eat it. Three
mornings later ! found Jennie repeat
ifg the performance. asked her to go.
and don't think was unfair. l would
not allow one of my boys or girls to eat
this way, why should I run the constant
risk of having a stranger use the food
we eat in such unseemly manner.
I have had girls scratch all the brass
beds through their carelessness in scrap
ing buttons on them as they passed. I
have had them ruin white woodwork by
careless washing in spite Of my repeated
attempts to teach them how to do it
right. have had the pleasure of going
completely over mornings work had
ordered done while was in the kitchen

have never required my girls to appear

such "airs." That is all very well for
the woman who can afford two girls, but
where there is only one and she must
do all the work one cannot expect to
make an ornament out of her, too. I
say this only to show do not think
have forced any girl through overwork
to be spiteful, and to spite me, do things
wrong.
1 believe doing the work wrong has
been the result of downright inability to
concentrate on orders when they are
being given. The matter in a nutshell
is this, the average servant girl has
had no training. She turns to service
mostly because it is the only way to
make living that is open to her.
