McCardell Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Rvening World). Here’s a Strike That St rikes Home—The Jarrs’ Household Assistant Insists on an Assistant. “ce ES, I didn’t forget that Ger- | ny. trude has struck about doing the washing any more,” Mr, Jarr began. Fritz, the shipping clerk, knows of a widow honse painter—I mean a house painter's widow, He thinks she'd be willing to come and do the washing, but she's busy this week seeing her iawyer about the damage suit she his against a contractor, Her husband was killed falling from the ninth story of an apartment house’—— “On Monday morning?” asked Mrs, Jarr, “No, to-morrow morning.” “I mean wasn't it a Monday morn- ing her husband fell off the house asked Mrs, Jarr, “It always is Mon- day morning; at least it used to be Monday morning, when there were saloons and they kept open surrep- titiously on Sundays. I've had two widow women in helping me by the day already, You can excuse me from another one. All they want to do is to ait down and talk about their lawsuits or their property, This one bas property, hasn't she?" “Why, I believe the shipping clerk said something about her having payments to meet on some lots she has.” “That will do for her!" said Mre Jarr decisively, “1 can't afford law- suits, and I don’t own property, and I'm tired of hearing of the responsi- bilities of haughty ladies who charge me three dollars a day to listen about theirs, while they scorn me because 1 have neither the cares of real es- tate nor a delightful awe of ‘my law- yer’ and how ‘grand’ and ‘brainy’ he is, “Why should I endeavor to distract @ person with these things on their minds by asking them will they mind scattering a little borax down the ciacks behind the stationary tubs to kill the cockroaches? You can ex- cuse me! 1 want a washerwoman who has no more responsibilities than I have, after this.” “But I teld the shipping clerk to send the woman early to-morrow, It will be too bad to bring her away up here for nothing,” said Mr, Jarr, “Dont worry!" replied Mrs, Jarr, “She'll be too busy sitting in the ante-room of her lawyer's office, won- dering how she ever got along with- Mr. Jarr, weakly. “I'm sorry 1 couldn't get you on the telephone You could have let me know you didn't want this one, Were you out to the intelligence offices?" “No, 1 got af woman through the Janitor,” said Mrs, Jarr. “She has splendid recommendations, only she is subject to fits. I was just engaging her and telling her what I paid when she had one, It amused the children, but I thought it best not to engage her at that time, under the circum- stances, The janitor says he knows of another one, only she has a hus- band and he is @ night watchman, and she is going to leave her place be- cause the children there make so much noise when in the house that he can't sleep in the daytime. So you see, there's alwaye some drawback somewhere; and, besides, I couldn't Promise that our Willie and little Emma would stay out on the street— for the husband always comes and sleeps where his wife works—awak- ing only for his meals—although the Janitor said she—the night watch- man's wife—was a splendid worker.” By this time Mr. Jarr wag in a mood of acute depression and felt the call of the open air, where ser- vant troubles and other sordid details of domestic life are unknown, “It's pretty tough, Isn't it? said Mr, Jarr, after a dismayed panse. “But at least it's encouraging nat you are getting in touch with nelp for your help, Maybe the next cone you hear of will have neither lawsuits nor fits, But I forget you had a wash- er lady in prospect.” “She'll only be here as a favor,” sald Mrs, Jarr, “Her flance is a passenger brakeman, He has another sweetheart in another town at the end of his run, If he marries her my new washerwoman says she'll kill herself. And if he marries the one with us she'll have to go to work some place else where she can make more money, as the passenger brake- men bets on the races and that takes all he earns,” “Oh, well, don't worry," said Mr, Jarr soothingly, ‘She'll be with us pending these crises, Meanwhile. you'll get the washing done to-day, and that will help some,” t! * said Mrs, Jarr sadly, “the out @ lawsuit before, She won't come.” iN. “Well, that's the best I can do,” said new washerwoman said she felt .oo nervous to work this week, “Oh dear!

He smiled as he epoke, indicating that he was in \ pleasant frame of mind. “Hello! Is that you, Ellie?" he said “Will you accompany me to the ball of the Pleasant Hour Club to-night? This is P.

You are fond of the modern steps but abhor the shimmy. There will be none. The club has an Anti-Shimmy Committee instructed to eject dancers who at- tempt the new shaking step. Oh, thank you! I'll be at your home at & o'clock. Goodby! Jack Schwartz, after his shave, met Elisha Q. Pertle, editor of the Delhi Bazoo, on Beautiful View Avenue and told him what he had heard, “I knew Ellie was set against the shimmy,” said the editor, “but I had no tdea she would refuse to attend a dance where there might be shimmy- ing. I have an idea. I'll ask her to write a poem on dancing and read it at the ball to-night. 1 thank you, Jack.” Schwartz went on his way feeling he had done the editor a good turn. Mr, Pertle called on Miss Doolittle and found her in the cow lot feeding the chickens corn, He asked her to write and read the poem, * “For you I'll do it, my dear editor,” replied the talented girl. “You have been so good te me in my fight for public recognition and, now that I have a place in American literature, T shall not assume a lofty air and re- fuse your request. The poem shall be written, I'll beat it upstairs in a min- ute and rip it out.” Evening came and the merry dancers began to arrive at the ball, Hugus Hall was full of gay folk by 8.30 o'clock, Suddenly the buzz of conver- sa stopped, All turned and lookud twwayd the door, Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New Yirk E Ellabelle Mae Doolittle Dudle ning World.)

It was indeed « pic- ture, Her escort led her to the centre of the hall and held up his razor hand, “Dear friends," he said,“ have the honor to-night of telling you that Miss Bllabelle Mae Doolittle has consented to read us an original poem on dane- ing before the music begins. Those who have ever heard her will realize that her diction is better than the dic tionary’s and her elocution is fine and dandy. Friends, Miss Doolittle!

On Riverside ‘4 Drive they seem to nave for- gotten about the obnoxious factories which a year ago they sought #0 energetically to have restricted from sending across the river their odor- iferous fumes, And so with Brooklyn, Harlem and the Bronx. All have abandoned their particular sectional or local complaint for the common grievance, the untversal affliction—the landlord. Even the agelong combat over heat, hot water, elevator service, redecora- tion and everything else for which the tenant paid, but which he re- ceived only according to conditions on the housing-tenant market is on the shelf. It is now one great struggle for existence, a fight against being raised out to the street, even though you live on the tenth floor! But it is no longer a struggle; they just get away with it, And in this espect the landlord of to-day re- sembles the original of the species, Landlords had their start way back in the benighted middle ages when the king, in return for military ger- vice, divided up the land among his barons, They, in turn, apportioned it to the lesser nobility who were to de- liver up their tenants for military service in time of need, which, of course, was all the time, for when the various countries were not fight- ing one another the barons were scrapping among themselves, So the tenant or serf, a8 he was then more apuy called, had a rather sorry life Landlor ds.
