WHAT'S THE USE?

Lefty been allowed a free hand.
But, knowing Miss Adams as she
did, she realized well enough that
if anything went wrong while the
boss was away it would be Just
too bad.
AS i'll luck would have it, on
the day of Miss Adams departure,
Mrs. C. Purvis Scott arrived with
three huge trunks and a nasty
little Peke, the type of beast that
even the most ardent dog lover
hates on sight.
"Good-by, Lefty" said Miss
Adams at the railroad station,
"our new guest, Mrs. Scott, is a
very important person. Please be
extra nice with her." Then un-
expectedly she stopped and kissed
Lefty in farewell. Remember,
my dear, I trust you" 1t was
those last three words that really
changed Letty's entire life.
When she returned from the
station she found the best maid
in the house preparing to leave.
ITS that old demon that has just
come" declared the girl. IT got
her number. Nothing would hire
me to stay with that in the
house"
This, so to speak, was only the
opening gun. Mrs. Scott, a large,
fat woman, exuding sweetness and
light, but capable of a Tightening
mouth and narrowing eyes when
annoyed, complained about every
thing. Food, rooms, guests, heat,
cold, the weather, the beds, chairs
Lefty was requested to do some
thing even about the view.
Two more maids and William,
the handyman. left in rage.

Tom Dalton and after the fisrt
few days, during which every

switched, suited with nothing.
He tried four rooms, he turned
up his nose at the food. The inn
was too cold, the halls were
draughty. He picked on the
maids, in fact, he made himself
generally disagreeable, but in spite
of his unpleasant behavior Lefty
couldn't dislike him.
Even when he kicked the loud

rather apologetic and embar-

to Miss Adams, naming no names.
Miss Adams, sitting quietly away
from all annoying detail, replied
Serenely.
IAN innkeeper must remember
the guest is always right" And
that goes for the boss, too, said
Lefty to herself, for Miss Adams

you'd go on your ear with your
three trunks and your pooch after
you. But, of course, you couldn't
uncork a remark like that to Mrs.
C. PurviS Scott, no matter how
desperately you longed to. So,
although it took more control than
Lefty knew she possessed, some
way she continued to be courteous.
During this difficult time with
the new boarder, Tom Dalton, ap-
parently underwent a change of
heart. Again he seemed pleased
with the inn, declared his inten-

meals were delicious and so forth.

awfully pleased; she did try so

quite futile. Guests were much
more apt to kick than to praise.

The Civil Service Commission is
solving its problem of housing
millions of documents, some OF
which date from 1888, by using
microphotography to preserve its
valuable records. The records
are photographed on l6 nm. film
From ITS to 200 individual ap-
plications are recorded on a hun
dred feet of film Thus the
record is preserved without the eX-
pense of extensive storage space
Thus far over $500 sets OF ap-
plication papers and 100000
record cards have been micro
filmed. When it is desired to re-
fer to the films. they are projected
on screen one and one half times
larger than the originals. The
roll may be instantly spun to any
picture. Other advantages are
increased legibility, elimination OF
loss caused by decaying paper,
fading ink and wear and tear and
the fact that life of films in daily
use is over 100 years, and, If kept
in vaults, from four to five centu-
ries. Few applicants will make
appeals for re-rating after the lat

T ETTY SLOAN had a job

T ETTY SLOAN had a job
- at the Blue Swallow Inn
where she was secretary to the
owner, Miss Adams. 1t was a
nice job and she liked it, at
least she liked the work for
which she was hired.
But. besides writing letters and
keeping accounts, she also was
expected to act as buffer between
the guests and her boss, who sell
dom appeared but sat in more
or less Seclusion upstairs. Some
times this was exceedingly try
ing; on an ordinary day Lefty
listened to remarks of this type:
Miss Sloan, please have my
carpet changed at once. The pat
tern makes me nervous. Miss
Sloan my pillow is obviously
stuffed with cement. Miss Sloan,
either your new waitress goes or
I 10. Miss Sloan, 1 wonder if I
may move my room again?"
PRIZE GROWLER
To all of this Lefty schooled
hersel- to listen with concern and
to answer with amiability. It
wasn't easy, either. especially
when people were sarcastic like
Miss Gripper who one morning
inquired, Just what brand of
mud are you using for coffee now
adays?" But even to a crack like
that Lefty held in; what she said
secretly to herself was her bust
ness.
One day the prize growler ar
rived. Contrary to precedent he
was young and good looking. for
