When Maxfield Parrish painted this celebrated mural of the merry mon- arch, the smile on the King’s lips caused as much discussion and re- ceived as many interpretations as the “inscrutable smile" of Da Vinci's “Mona Lisa.” His smile seemed a grimace when I interviewed him yes- terday, bowl fiddlers three. “Like Macbeth,” said His Highasess, “my way of life has fallen into the sear and yellow leaf.” My court room here is deserted.

Copyright, 1920, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Eventug World) 'HILE the mystery of the Elwell case is occupying the attention of the public there is one angle of it on which something should de sald—something that might stop the mode of living such as was El- wells, It pertains to the housekeeper—she who knew what was going on in this house and still remained, It is some- what paradoxical to think that this woman lived in this house day after day, knew about the women who came there and their possible rela- tionship with her employer, and yet sought to shield one of these women by hiding her lingerie. Hers was & strange moral code indeed. She permitted herself to remain in a house of wrongdoing and then sought to hide the wrong. Somehow one can't help feeling a bit disgusted with such a woman, When work {8 so easily secured, and when women, workers in the home are In such demand, any housekeoper can obtain work In a home of respect- ability. That she remained in the house of Elwell is little credit to her Indeed, Certainly she must feel this now as one of the central figures in a@ murder case, Doubtless she wishes that she had chosen a place where decency reigned, One wonders why she took this place, and, having taken it, why did she re- main, knowing tho kind of man her employer was and the brand of liv- ing that he chose, If one stops to consider, how much good such women could do by refus- ing to work In such homes. If mon like Elwell could secure no _ house- keepers because of their refusal to work for such ag he they would not be able to conduct a house of mys- tery or revelry and lawlessness. They would needs go to hotels and other such public places where the detec- tive is on the job. After all, there is no satisfaction in such a matter in the last analysis, If one stands quietly by and permits wrongdoing without any protest, surely by such manner he acquiesces in the misconduct. He is a party to It. On the other hand, if, on finding these things in a home in which she started to work, this woman would have protested and left immediately some measure of reproach would have come to the man who hired her and might have led to some reflection of his waywardness. And if every housekeeper who came to work tor him had acted likewise it might have made him a better man. It might have made him reason that decent people, even though poor, would have none of him, though he could pay a big price. Bomehow I can't help thinking of the enormous amount of good that women workers could do in making men better by refusing to work in a household where shameful deeds are done. The trouble with it all is that the lucrative positions such homes offer cause women to take them. Yet if they would only realize it, it is plain “hush money” they are getting. It would seem to me any good wom- an's conscience would hurt her to ac- cept such money even though she really performed the work of the houschold, It {s because such women workers gre #0 eusily obtained by such men as Elwell that it is possible for them comfortably to continue their wicked ways, and in safety. The respectable woman, the finely purposed worker, need not sacrifice her self-respect in this way. The world 1s full of other jobs.
