For that means he doesn't expect to pay money enough for you to live on.” “And don't let any kind old gentleman who makes a specialty of protecting fatherless girls call you ‘my dear’ and t your arm as he leads you to the " interrupted Pliable, During breakfast the three girls ran their eyes hurriedly through almost endless columns of “Help Wanted" ad- Vertisements, and in the midst of her dazed realization that there was abso- lutely no person tn New York who ree quired the talente of a young lady who could speak French and German and Paint on china, Priscilla noticed that the demand was almost entirely for what she considered “mental” things, Apparently ‘everybody in the Celestial City wanted @ general houseworker and nobody®had any use for the arte and accomplishments which, according to Priscilla's mother, existed so that young ladies might have something suitable with which to pass the time, ATTRACTED BY AN OFFER OF $2 TO START.
