At s
And So They Were Married
By HAZEL DEVO BATCI1ELOR
Copvrioht, Hit, fty Puhlto Ltdaer Co.
I,
START THIS STOUV TODAY
PERVBRS& spirit entered into
-TX Rita that day because she was
Illy and affected during the entire trip.
8he made It appear as It Ruth and Na
talie were the vcrlc'st babies with abso
lutely no cipcrlcnco at all. One might
hare thought that they were Billy school
girls out with an older woman.
Now, any one who understands the
heart of a woman will realize that It is
impossible to receive this treatment
sanely. An older woman considers It a
compliment If she Is treated like a child,
but a younc -woman resents It, particu
larly a young matron.
Natalie had nlways been sophisti
cated. Sho bad known the Hfo at good
hotels from a child. Ruth, too, was
experienced and heartily rcRcntcd tho
fact that any one should consider her
capable of, being patronized. Rita's
treatment was heartily resented by both
girls. Ruth was puzzled and hurt by
it; Natalie simply nrrivlng at the con
clusion that sho did not see what Ruth
""saw to rave about In this girl. How
ever, she tried her hardest to bo nice
now that Bho had begun this thing.
In the car squeezed tightly together
as was necessary in the case ol crowding
three In ai car meant for two, Ruth
could see that Rita was quite obviously
made up. There were blue shadows
, under her eyes, and her long black
lashes had been touched with some cos
metic that mado them stick together
and exaggerated their length. The
swaying blue earrings and the pert little
hat took Rita's aristocratic look quite
away from her and made hcrlook cheap
and commonplace, pretty as she was.
Ruth could not avoid looking at Nntalle
and inwardly comparing tho two gins.
Natalie's usually too pnlc face was
touched with pink, even the lobes of the
cars were healthily colored. Her closely
twisted blond hair was held tight
against her head by her veil, her lips
were healthily red, her little flow"
toque inconspicuous and yet beautifully
appropriate was more than usually be
coming. Natalie had everything that
Rita had tried to get without half try
ing. She looked the thoroughbred,
,- while Ritn looked the sham. Much ns
Ruth loved Rita she was forced to
admit this.
At the fashionable little roadhouse
where Natalia drew up, the wide
screened veranda was filled with little
tables. , As soon ns the ear was dis
posed of Natalie was for gcttingi n
table, but Rita would have none of this.
"Oh, my dear," she said insistently,
"I must clean up. I'm a sight."
And consequently all three girls went
to the daintily crctonncd wicker furni
turcd room, where Rita proceeded to
get out of her motor coat, take off her
hat, all but do her hair entirely over,
powder carefully, touch her lips with
carmine and maku herself generally gor
geous before anouncing that sho was
ready to go into tho dining-room. Ruth
and Natalie did no more than the cur
sory powdering of fheir noses that
girls indulge in after they have been
unpowdcrcd for more than five minutes
at a time. Rita acted as though she had
been on a long journey, while in reality
they had not been more than twenty
five minutes motoring up.
"Remember this is my trcnt," laughed
Natalie as they sat down at the tnble.
Rita unbent a little at this and became
a little moro natural, but Ruth, remem
bering suddenly Rita's general attitude
when they lunched together, failed to be
won over.
Rita suggested everything that was
ordered. She consulted tho waiter as
though tho party were hers, and Ruth
became moro embarrassed and angry
every minute. What would Natnlic
think? And what had gotten into Rita
to make her act this way?"
They were about half finished with
lunch and the conversation that Ruth
had tried to kec'p natural nnd to in
clude Natalie was languishing when a
gay party of young people came in
and took a table near their. They were
talking nnd laughing loudly nnd they
immediately ordered drinks, Ruth, look
ing at them, did not see Ritn pale sud
denly nnd then flush and turn away.
She did see, however, one of the men
at the next table rise and come over
to their table, n rather loud person in
a checked suit, good looking in n wny.
but quite common. His greeting could
be heard half across the room.
"Well Rita old girl, how arc jon?"
One of the girls looker over then nnd
exclaimed nnd Rita, with n low excla
mation, got up and went over to tho
tabic to sneak to her friends. A con
splcuous silence reigned between Nntalle
and Ruth for a minute, then Ruth
spoke.
"I know what you're thinking,
Natalie, but believe me she has never
acted this way before."
Natnlic was generous, but she could
not help saying, "I thought she had so
few friends."
Then Ritn came back nnd for the
rest of the meal, although she was con
spicuously conscious of the laughing
crowd at the ndjacent table, she was
more like herself than she had been
since they had started out, simpler and
much more natural than the strange
girl who had insisted upon showing
another side of herself.
(In tho next Installment Ruth begins
to pay the piper.)
Let- us say, then, she gets the eight'
hour day. Will the mere fact that the
law Is passed turn out a miracle of a
servant girl. No girl can work Intel
ligently and accomplish a full hour's
worth of work until she Icarus to listen
to orders as they arc being given. Will
tho Inw look after tffis matter? Will
the law suddenly produce a race of
super-sen ant girls?
If tho union day for servant girls
comes to pass, nil I want is this. Please,
Lord, send me back Jennie nnd the
Minnie who scratched the beds and
Delia, who ruined my white wood work.
I want to sit down and watch them work
for eight full hours! MRS. It. K.
Don't Use Rhubarb Greens
Rhubaib leaves contain poison, ac
cording to the cxpeits of tho Depart
ment of Agriculture, and should not
be used ns greens for food. While not
universally poisonous, they contain sub
stances which, when used ns food, de
velop serious poisoning In many persons.
The Department of Agriculture has re
cently reccicd numerous letters call
ing nttrution to the fact that the use
of rhubarb leaves for greens hns been ad-
ocntetl in nrious communities nnd that
disastrous results have followed the
advice.
Adventures

HERD is something very new Jn tho
way of a chnln. It Is of oxidized
silver, strung at even intervals with
beads of deep lavender. The lavender
and silver blend beautifully, and 'the
result is as pretty a ihnlu as you would
want to sec. The price is $1.
These queer little Japanese lamps
caught my eye as I was passing. The
globe pait Is of n louud Japanese lan
tern, probably the sl.e of n grapefruit,
and it rests in u kind of tripod stand of
bright orange. The lamp Is lighted b
n caudle. Tor a den, or for the summer
porch or cottage, )ou would 'go far be
fore j ou found ns attractive and unusunl
a light. Originally priced at $1.."0.
they have been lowered to $1. I nm
sure )0U will like them.
"This meat perforator," jou read,
"will make a lound steak ns tender ns
a choice cut of sirloin. It cuts the
liber in such n manner as to render the
meat tender nnd nt the same time keep,
the juice and Havor." It is indeed an
ingenious device. Vou know self
that, frequently when you use a knlfo
to cut your steak it you are not very
careful the meat becomes tough.

THE EMPLOYER'S SIDE OF THE
EIGHT-HOUR DAY FOR SERVANTS
To the Editor of Woman's Page:
Dear madam Whereas I am willing
to be convinced that there are some ser
vant girls in the world who will live up
to the blessings an eight-hour working
day would confer upon them. I feel al
most constrained to say that I cannot
connect an eight-horu day with most of
, thelglrls who have passed in nnd out of
our home. An eight-hour' day calls up
' visions of system, things done on the dot
and cleanliness things done on the dot
and not to be worried about again.
Let mp tell you about Jennie. I feel
privileged to call her Jennie because
sho called my eighteen-year-old daugh
ter Mary the first day Bhe worked for
me. I came down the second morning
we bad Jennie and found her calmly
eating orange marmalade out of the jar
by means of first sticking the spoon in
the Jar, then in her mouth and then
back in the jar again. I thought per
haps Jennie knew no better nnd nsked
her to please dish the marmalade out
when she wanted to cat it. Three
mornings later I found Jennie repeat
ing the performance. I asked her to go,
and I don't think I was unfair. I would
not allow one of my boys or girls to eat
this way, why should I run the constant
risk of having a Btranger use the food
we eat in such unseemly manner.
I have had girls scratch all the brass
beds through their carelessness in scrap
ing buttons on them as they passed. I
have had them ruin jvhito woodwork by
careless washing in spite of my repeated
attempts to teach them how to do it
right. I have had the pleasure of going
completely over a morning's work I had
ordered done while I was in the kitchen
fixing sandwiches for a little party I was
to give that afternoon. Ry the way, I
l-tejWhave never required my girls to appear
A in' the afternoon at these little affairs
because I do not believe women of aver
age means like myself should attempt
such "airs." That is all very well for
the woman who can afford two girls, but
where there is only one nnd she must
do all the work one cannot expect to
make an ornament out of her, too. I
say this only to show I dp not think I
have forced any girl through overwork
to be spiteful, and to spite me, do things
w rong.
I believe doing the work wrong has
been the result of downright inability to
concentrate on orders when they nrc
being given. The matter in a nutshell
is this, tho average servant girl has
had no training. She turns to service
mostly because it is the only wny to
make a living that is open to her.
