GIRL IN THE FAMILY

Anna's house was in Clay
Street, on the very outskirts Of
the South Side. It stood, plain
and narrow and yellow, behind q
bright yellow picket fence. Be-
hind 1t, facing on an alley, was
Herbst's dairy. Across the street
from the house was the little
store where he sold eggs and
butter and milk, and Anna di-
vided her time between it and
the house, keeping both Of them
in a state Of shining spotlesS-
ness that was amazing to Susan.
Across the narrow upstairs
hall Of the house was the bed.

drift around her face, and q
piece Of knitting in her gnarled
mottled old hands from morn
ing until night. She kept Ger
man Bible open on little table
near the chair where she sat and
rocked most Of the day and she
spoke very little English. Some
times she would come to the
doorway Of Susan's room and
make brief cheerful statements,
half English and half German
"It's nice out. So warm vie
Sommer, ja?" or "You look
Schon today. Sehr schon."
Next door to her room was
the bathroom with a clean
pink rug on the floor, cheap
perfumed pink soap in the wire
racks and plenty Of cold water
that came gushing from the
faucet marked "Hot" as we'll as
from the one marked Cold"
There was no hot water in the
house, and whenever. anyone
wanted a bath hot water had to
be heated on the coal range in
the kitchen and carried up.
stairs.
Susan had not been able to
find any work during the first
three weeks of her stay at
Anna's, and as she was able to
pay only five dollars a week to-
ward her board, until she did
find something to do, she in
sisted upon helping with the
housework and making herself
as useful as possible in the
creamery across the street.
After she had helped Anna
with the breakfast dishes she
would hurry down to the cor
ner Of Clay Street and Twenty
fifth Street, which was the main
thoroughfare of the South Side,
and buy a morning paper. She
would go down the columns
marked Help Wanted - Fe-
male" and put a little pencil
mark after the positions that
she thought she might be able
to fill.
There were very few of them.
She could not typewrite and she
knew nothing about shorthand,
so the office jobs were closed
to her. She knew that it would
be useless to answer advertise
mentS that read Experienced
MillinerS Wanted" or "Fine Op-
portunity Tor Woman with
Small Capital to Put into Grow
ing Business" She had neither
experience nor capital.
One morning an advertise
ment headed Wanted: Marker
Girl for Laundry" caught her
eyes and she went to answer
it in a taxicab hoping to get
there ahead of any other appli-
cants. Marker girl for laun-
dry" sounded simple, as if al
most anyone could become one.
But when she reached the laun-

"I'm staying at Anna'S," said
Susan with her aunt's arm
around her, holding her tightly.
Anna, our old maid, you know.
She married Herbst, our milk
man. I'm boarding at her
house." She spoke in q per-
fectly matter-of-fact way as if
it were the most natural thing
in the world that she should
hide herself from the Cullens
and 60 to live in Clay Street
with Anna.

was all Strengthened around"
she added, telling a half truth,
and knowing that she could
never explain things to Aunt
Nell's satisfaction unless she
told her about herself and Allen
Sholes. And that, she told her
self, was the one thing she
would never do.
well, now that you're here,
we'd better make some plans
for your staying here" her aunt
said briskly, her face clearing a
little. I'm never going to let
you stay at your hired girls
house, now that I know you're
there. Allen Sholes has beer
staying with US. He has Con-
nie's room, but I'll explain how
things are to him and he'll give

"He and Mary have struck up
such a nice friendship" she add
ed. I'VE all think so much of
him; he's just like one of the
family already. I think I may
be able to get him a room back
here on Edwards Street with q

and then he can go right on

mo, I'm not coming here, !"
Susan answered with such force
that Aunt Nell pushed her
glasses up above her eyebrows
to look more closely at her.
She always said that she had
to take off her glasses when
she wanted to see what was
really going on. I'm all Set

better stay there"

coat. II just came to let you

Her aunt put her plump arm
around her, the look of puzzle

her face once more. Il can't
see any reason in the world
why you'd stay at your Annals
house when you know you're as
welcome here as Mary or Sara

strongly tempted to put her
head down upon the comfort
and warmth of her aunt's broad
motherly bosom and blurt out
the whole story to her.
But in that swift second
something happened to stop her.

and one day she came to Susan
with it in her wrinkled hand
and pointed her forefinger at
an advertisement on the back
page.
"'Girl to sell we'll known

and sheet music. Must have
some knowledge of music was
the gist of the advertisement as
Mrs. Herbst translated it for
her.
At $50 the next morning she
stood in the rain outside the en-
ployes' entrance Of the store
with a little box Of lunch under
her arm and hope in her heart.
She had arrived at the store at
7, and she was first in the line
of girls and women who stood
waiting at the entrance.
At $40 Susan stood in the
employment office on the top
floor of the store talking TO
a sharp-faced young man who
was Mr.. Morrill,, the employment
manager. He was asking her
questions and she was answer
ing them, trying not to seem too
eager.
Yes, she did know something
about music. She could play
simple things like popular music
without much difficulty.
well, I'll send you to Mr..
Lesser, who's IN charge Of our
music department, and see how
you get along" Mr.. Morrill, said
when she had answered all of
his questions. Il see you have
on a black dress. We require
all our women employees to wear
black. You can go right to work
now?"
"Oh, yes!" said Susan breath
lessly. Excitement, so keen that
it was like happiness. rose in
her. She had a job! She had
made her start at last!
Mr.. Lesser was gray and mid.
dle-aged and gentle looking. His
eyes were blue and mild behind
silver-rimmed spectacles and in
all the time that Susan worked
for him he never gave her a
single order. All day long it
was, "Will you please dust the
record boxes, Miss Broderick?"
or, would you be so kind as to
wait on this lady who is JUST
coming in, Miss Broderick? I
must go over to the stock room
for a few minutes?"
The first morning she came
to work he asked her to llay a
little for him, and he smiled
over her rendition of a Wald.

Rose" "You will get along all

the fourth year that the Loudens
have handled the fair rodeo pro-
gram with spectators and partici-
pants getting their moneys worth.
Expect Good Riders
Some Of the best riders and race
horses in the northwest will take
part in these events. An extra chute
is to be constructed on the grounds
this year to give a faster and more
Snappy rodeO program Four good
saddle races each afternoon also
help liven up the program. This
year the association has promise of
many new horses some coming from
Idaho, quite few from British
Columbia and our own usual good
horses from Okanogan county.
In addition to horse races every
afternoon there will be long dis
lance Indian foot race with ample
prizes awarded. Clowns, rope spin
ners, and novelty races will pad
out the program to make it a busy
one. All in all $500 will be awarded
as prize money during the fair.
A big stick game tournament be-
tween teams of various Indian
tribes will be one of the interest
ing side events. There will be both
man and women teams competing
with a total prize of $40 for the
men and $50 for the women Prizes
for the best tepee and best Indian
costumes are also being offered. The
Indians riding in costume in the
parade each day are to get day
money. Free meat and vegetables
and hay for their stock are also
part OF the pay for Indians taking
part in the fair program. The
management now has assurance of
the largest Indian village ever put
up here. Their village this
year Will be on a Slight rise of
ground inside the fair grounds over
looking beautiful lake Osoyoos
which borders one edge of the race
track
In addition to rodeo and racing
entertainment there will be a car
nival with merry-go-round and
other rides, side shows and con-
cessions.
Dance Is Planned
At night one of the big features
will be the big dance at the fair
grounds pavilion, one of the largest
dance halls in the county, enabling
several hundred couples to dance
without crowding. There will be a
change of music every night.
One of the most worth while fea-
lures of visit to the fair will be a
trip through the large exhibit hall.
Here produce from all parts of the
county will be on display, there will
also be many commercial booths and
a big automobile display showing
many of the latest models of pop
ular cars.
School children will be admitted
free to the grounds and free park
ing space for automobiles will be
furnished. Admission prices have
been set low so as to give ample
opportunity for the whole family to
visit the fair at reasonable cost. The
fair association wants to make it
possible for everyone to attend the
fair and assures visitors a cordial
welcome and the best time they
ever had for the money.
