said that to him when he was

Then came another voice out
of his childhood stronger and
more imperious, a woman's voice
counseling him:

anything; put yourself above
everybody. Always remember you

ECAUSE of my many
duties, I am finding it
- necessary to engage a
maid. Now I have never had
one = before and L don't know
exactly how to go about training
her. Can you help me?"
An ignorant girl, not able to
speak your language is expensive
at any price. Therefore, one of
the first bits of advice is choose
carefully a girl who can bring
references and who has had some
experience. The cost of such a
maid ranges from $40 to $40 a
week with room and board, de-
pending upon what she has to do
and the local labor market.
Since every household differs,
the suggestion must of course be
general. 1t is we'll to take the
first three days in going over
her duties with her. Show her
exactly how you want each task
done. This may seem a waste of
time, but it will relieve you de-
cidedly later on and will prevent
usually disagreeabe friction.
Write out a plan Of work and
let her follow it for at least three
weeks. At the end Of that time
an intelligent girl will have
evolved her own plan of work.
Many maids work on part time
and sleep at home. The price is
correspondingly lower and where
sleeping space is at a premium
as in city apartments, this might
be considered. Be patient Maids
are only human; After month
in the home, however, an en-
ployer has every right to expect
that maid be able to carry on
her work unaided.

come to this! He was amazed
at the slight effect all his rea-
soning and his accusations had
had upon her. Yes. as she had
said, she was indeed a different
woman. Something beside her
grief for her son had certainly
wrought this change in her.
Someone was to blame for this
absurd situation. It was
Lieutenant Martinez who had
come between them.
Michael spent great part. OF
that night in bitter reflections.
1t did not occur to him to blame
Alicia. He even repented his
angry words.
Instead he began in his hatred
to- strip Martinez, the young SOL
der, of the prestige of his deeds
and his misfortune. He. saw him
without his uniform. without his
war crosses and his wounds, as
he must have been before the
war--a poor employee. a clerk,
whose dreams of love had never
gone beyond nilliner or a stem
ographer. And this was the man
who had the temerity to become
his rival.

all morning in his garden. He
was determined to keep. away

Did you ever stop to think that

In the extreme of nervousness
the arms are often held rigid in
wtead of comfortably relaxed, as
they should be when not in mo-

way the nervously tense person,
