Settling the Hired Girl Problem.
When u hired girl, Pauleeny. first
came upon the Job, she couldn't boil
Ia weinie or corn upon the cob. She
baked pies on their edges and biscuits
on their sides, made pancakes thick as
wedges and tough as camels' hides.
Her coffee. black and fearful, would
float a submarine; 1t made me sad and
fearful to see her fry a bean. She
broke q bowl and platter tha day she
struck the place. then spilled a pan of
batter and crushed a painted vase.
She drenched the mop in water and
flourished it around: II someone had
MT caught her, we'd all of us been
drowned! My wife with frightened
features cried, Dear. o dear. o dear!
or all the frantic orsatures! We can
not have her here!I 1T 10 q sad be-
ginning" said l., but why the woe?
Pauleeny isn't SHINING: she simply
doesn't know. She is a strapping
beauty, to fire her is a shame; it
seems our bounden duty to try to
make her tame. Let's strive to help
and teach Ter to cook. and iron and
haste; she's such a splendid creature,
she must not go to waste. Be mother
like, begorry. and gentle with her.
dear, then we'll take inventory when
she's been here a year!" That year
was up on Friday, and I'm right here
to say no house around's as. tidy as
our house is today. No family on the
prairies has better grub than we;
we're happy as canaries atop an ap-
pie tree! "Of all the worthy lassies."
my wife declares with zest, II do not
best! Those buckwheat cakes and
weinies she cooked today were fine!
There may be more Pauleenys, but
none so good as mine!" .M
