The maid whom I had liked so well at first sightt held her single ref- erence out to me with pride shjning in her eyes. I took it and drew from the envelope a sheet of. notepaper whose appearance betokened the be- longings of a well-bred woman ) g unfolded it and read: “The bearer of this, Katie Slovin- sky, has been in my employ ds gen- eral housekeeper for a year. She leaves me only because I am com- pelled to go South on account of ill- ness. She is a good cook, laundress and general worker, neat, strictly honest, willing and obliging. For a mistress who can understand her temperament she will 'make a most valuable maid. “SARAH S. CLARKE. “The Aberdeen, Tuesday, Jan. 12.” I could read between the lines of this letter. I had dealt with many girls of Katie’s type in my teaching days, I knew the chidish temper, the irritating ouriosity, the petty jealousy, the familiarity which one not undpr- standing would deem impertinence, with which I would have to contepd if I engaged her. But the two other applcants for my work whom I had seen, the half-drunken virogo of yes- terday, and the grim vision of todaw, decided me. I would try this eager girl if her terms were reasonable. “What wages do you wish “Twenty-five dollars & month.” Then she looked at me shrewdly. “Perhaps, bimeby, if I suit you, you give me $2387" “Perhaps,” I returned non-commit- tally. “You wish every other Sunday and Thursday off, I suppose.” “Oh! yes, missis, If you ‘missia’ ‘“When can you come?” She laughed gleefully, displaying a set of beautiful white teeth, “Right now, this meenit. See- I brought my work dress, my apron, my cap, right here.” She lifted a bundle wrapped in paper, which I had seen in her lap. “You like me to wear cap? I look nice in cap.” She smiled coquettishly. “Of course,” I answered. “And I will give you a trial for a week. You may come out into the kitchen now, and I will show you where things are, and tell you about dinner.” As I preceded her into the kitchen I had a sudden qualm. I Knew Dicky’s fastidious taste, and that un- derneath all his good-natured uncon- ventionallty he had rigid ideas of his own upon some topics. I happened to remember that nothing. made him so nervous and frritable as bad service in a restaurant. His idea of a gpod walter was a well-trained automation with no eyes or ears. How would he like this enthusiastic, irrepressible girl? Tt was too late now, however, I was commiitted to a week of her service. A Kitchen Promise As we entered the kitchen, I was again glad that before I left it the night before I had put everyghing in order. I had been tempted to leave it in disorder when Dicky had made the scene about Jack’s letter, but my nat- ural methodical self had triumphed over my emotions. I would have been twice humiliated if I had yielded to the empulse to leave everything: Dick had scrutinized it in the morning when my headache was so bad I could not rise, and now my new maid was looking it over critically. “Nice kitchen,” she said smilingly. looking nice.” 1 Her face clouded a little. “I al-ways keep my kichen nice,’” she said seriously. I had read her correctly. I saw that she would be like a child in her resentment of criticism or suggestions. ‘““Here are all your cooking utensils” I sald. Her face was a blank as} she looked at me. . “Things to cook with,” I exclajmed I might as well get Into the vefnacu- lar first as last, I reflected grimly. “Oh! yes, missis—what your name? I forgot what the letter said.” “Graham, Mrs, Graham,” I replied ‘“Please call me that.” “Oh! yes, Missis Graham. ‘em all. You just say, Kagie, kitchen, here cooking things, here the dining room, here meat, veg-e- ta-bles—dAessert to cook, I find every- thing. I fix. If I no find, I ask.” Her enthusiasm was grateful, but her manner held something of shoo- ing me out of my own kitchen. Shie was evidently a most energetia per- son. She had undone her bundle a very neat striped gingham working dress, gringham work apron and a white apron and cap. “See, Missis Graham, I put on first my dress, then my white apron and please.

Her face fell. “I can sleep out, y<s, if you have no room. But I no like to. I think you nice lady. all time in your house. while you get bigger me?”’ “Perhaps,” 1 answered, She was really irrestible. “What you want for dinner? things here?” “No, I shall have to order them. T did not see the marketman this morning, for I was ill. We will have a small pot roast of beef—Mr. Gra- ham is very fond of that—with a horseradish sauce, Rotatoes cooked with the, meat, some spinach, not creamed, simply chopped with plenty of butter and seasoning and a lettuce and green pepper salad. Mr, Graham will make the dressing at the table.” “What for dessert?” “No dessert tonight, just cheese and coffee. You do not want too much to do your first dinner. I will tele- phone for the things now.” I turned away. “No telephone. Wait Where the market? I go get. Those grocery- men, they cheat, when you telephone, no give nice things, charge so-o- much.” g Right there I decided to keep Katie, if Dicky could possibly stand her. Perhaps I could tone her down. I had heard so much of the la: interested, extravagant maids with which some of my friends had been obliged to contend, that Katie’s en- thusiastic interest charmed me. TREAT FOR LYCEUM PATRONS SATURDAY “You may keep Maybe after flat, room for smiling. Are ‘‘Search Me” the latest detective play and the latest of the New York comedy successes comes to the Liy- ceum, Saturday matinee and night. “Search Me” is by Augustin Mac- Hugh who has already contributed “‘Officer 666" to stage literature. The following is a brief synopsis of the story, the action of which takes place at Bridgetown, England, at the Firs. Anthony Moreland, K. C. has de- fended a famous Khedive who was tried for treason and exonerated him. In gratitude, the Khedive presents him with a famous blood red ruby valued at twenty ‘thousand pounds. ‘When Moreland announces he will present it to the first princess of a royal family who marries, it creates a sensation. Moreland gives a house party with seven guests; among them is a young American playwright named Hurst. As they sit down to dinner, a Scot- land Yard detective comes from Lon- don to warn Moreland of an attempt to steal the ruby. Our young Ameri- can friend sees dramatic possibilities in this and shows how easily the gem can be stolen. While they are at dinner the ruby is stolen in exactly the manner he has described. He, naturally, is suspect- ed, as are threc -other guests, an Aus- tr{«nan millionaire, an English cap- tain, and the playwright's valet. The story throughout is of engrossing in- terest in its ingenious mystery, its de- tail and its excellent suspense. The actlon is convincing and the incidents are so arranged to make a continuity of narrative that is at once absorbing and interesting. The happlest sort of fun is’evoked which is of a quality whnolly American in point of humor. The scenic investiture is of an elabor- ate nature and from the studio of Homer Emens. Messrs, Moffatt and Pennell, the producers of the comedy, have pro- vided an exceptionally strong com- pany headed by Mr. Fred Graham, the celebrated English comedian, who for five years played the leading roles at George Edward’s Gaiety theater, London, and including Mr. Clarence Heritage, Curtis Cooksey, Daniel Pennell, Miss Nellie Dent, Miss Phyl- lis Birkett and othe: Seats at Crow- ell’s. AT FOX’S TOMORROW | George Ade's sparkling comedy, “Just Out Of College,” picturized into five acts of rollicking humor will be seen at Fox's tomorrow and Thurs- day. Fox patrons who are looking for a good laugh will do well to see this latest George Ade production. It is film humor of excellent sort, ripplingly easy, with something of a musical comedy swing, clearly photo- graphed and well acted by a splendid cast. The action is fast, furious and funny; it possesses a wealth of hu- morous situations, effectively handled and unquestionably provides good, wholesale entertainment that is bound to satisfy even the most fastidious. A Chaplin comedy, and the latest chapter of “Neal Of The Navy,” the great American serial story will also be shown, rounding out two splendid hours of refined entertainment amid surroundings that are certainly condu- cive to healthy diversion.

The latest chapter of “The Goddess,"” with Anita Stewart and Earle Wil- ! liams, a Chaplin comedy and several cther single reels of careful selection frame the balance of the program. BOSTON RED SOX ENJOY “TOWN TOPICS” The Boston Red Sox practically took possession of the Century thea- ter, New York, last Tuesday night and indulged in many antics during the progress of the baseball scene in “Ned Wayburn's Town Topics.” Pres- ident Lannin and Manager Carrigan and thirty-six cf their baseball squad occupied ofchestra seats, as dida Man- ager William Donovan and some thir- ty members of the Yanks. Tris Speaker, the center fielder of the Sox occupied an aisle seat in uniform and when Will Rogers, the cowboy of “Town Topics,” threw a lasso and roped him, Speaker very demurely was led across the footlights and had some fun with the rope himself, be- cause he used to punch cattle with Rogers on a ranch near Hubbard City, Texas. Just preceding the base- ball scene at the Polo Grounds, all the Red Sox and many of the Yankees left their orchestra chairs and went upon the stage, where they sat in the grand stand and watched the game between the male and female Giants, with Trixie Friganza as catcher of the female Giants and Blossom Seeley, (Mrs. Rube Marquard), as captain of that club, with Bert Leslie as catchs er of the male Giants and with Flan- agan and Edwards made up respect- ively as Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, and with Pete Page as umpire, wear- ing his familiar liver pad in place of a chest protector. The boxes of the miniature grandstand of the Polo Grounds were decorated with eighteen pair of red socks, worn by the Bos- ton champions, and many baseball jokes were indulged in. The thirty- six pretty girls who made up the squad of the female Giants had a grand time with the New England ball players, and altogether it was a unique event. Tt is the only time In the history of baseball that contend- ers for a world's seriecs have been given a real outing on the eve of a world's series contest, but as Mana- ger Carrigan expressed it: “I am go- ing to let the boys stay out until mid- night tonight and have a good time. Mr. Ned Wayburn was called upon for a speech, und said that “he had been an ardent baseball fan all his life and that he hoped the better team would win the world’s cham- pionship. Most of New York's base- ball writers joined in the merriment by occupying the press box on the stage.
