C, Mabel+ Somervillye told me yester- day that she was broke, and soon to} be out of a job, since the war was over and the departments were dismissing many clerks. Mabel came to Washington August from Kansas. last | She came! into Mabel’s income, but she cheered herself with the thought that “next month” she would be less extrava- gant. Money Is Gone, Mabel Is Worrled. Then “next month” she had the “flu!” Her landlady was good to her, but Mabel had to have a doctor, and medicines, and the doctor insisted that she must buy warmer under- principally because she read the bulle- | clothes. tits in her home town postoffice, say- ing Uncle Sam needed help in winning | the war. Mabel was patriotic; she yearned to help. Mabel’s Expenses Eat Up Income Camel came. She passed the civil service examination, and got a good rating. When she was put to work at’ filing, merely putting away papers,! ‘So now that the armistice is signed, although Mabel rejoiced as much as anybody to learn that the fighting was over and victory was ours, she is worried, really honestly — worried, about how she is to get back to Kan- sas if she is suddenly told that she doesn't need to do any more filing. doctor bill took just about the last of Mabel's savings. she thought there must be some mis- take, for this work called for no knowledge of spelling, geography or) arithmetic, all of which subjects fig- ured largely in her “examination.”| But she worked steadily, nevertheless, | thinking every day she would be transferred to some more interesting} exacting task. { But Mabel is still filing. ‘She has come to believe that however long! she may remain in Washington, she will still ba filing. She speculates a good deal as to why the examination in geography and arithmetic, because she has to speculate about something, to keep her mind occupied. If you've ever done filing—Mabel's kind of fil- ing—you will understand that it does{ not hold your breathless interest. Mabel receives $100 a month, Ati first she thought that was a great! deal of money. But she found she had to pay $20 for a room, on the third floor, with another girl to share it with her; and her board cost $30 more, for breakfast and dinner, that is not counting lunch. Lunches averag- ed 40 cents a day, and laundry $1.50 a week. This made her expenses; about $68 a month for mere living ne- cessities, outside of clothes. She had to have a new winter coat, and some shoes, which took $50 from her scan- ty surplus, although even then the! coat was not nearly as good a ono as Mabel had been used to wearing in Kansas. She went to the theater once in a while, and out to dinner at a restau- rant occasionally, and for a couple of “rubber-neck” wagon rides, to see the city. Mabel is young, you see, and she had never been in a big city be fore, and besides, she had come to the capital rimming with patriotism and the desire to seo and reverence every historical spot. These extras made great inroads} —— Phone 75, City Fuel Co. For the Beulah Coal If Mabel had an indulgent papa to te.egraph her a ticket home, or a de- voted knight in a big motor car to whisk her off to happiness by way of the altar, things would be different. But Mabel says those things exist only in story books. I tried to cheer her up, but what could I do? In spite of all I said, Mabel is worried, really worrled, about that ticket to Kansas.
