Maid Wished Use Of Car.

Mrs. Mann, who is visiting her
daughter in Ruskin place, tells of the
trouble another daughter who lives in
northern city had in keeping a
maid. s-. . .-#..s
The maid came and stayed short
time, then decided she would leave.
When asked for the reason, she said
that the work kept her employed too
much Of the time. At the last place of
employment, she said she had great
deal of leisure time, and that she
often had permission to use the fam
lily car, not to mention going riding
with the family. M
Mrs. Mann's daughter did not seem
disposed to permit the use of her own
car by the maid, and the latter left,
presumably to seek a place where
things were different.-1ndianapolis
