Every middle-aged person can re member when fifty cents was a day's wages for a working woman, and a dol lar and a half a week's pay for house maids. This scale lias increased t*i really generous figures. A girl who re ceives four dollars a week for house work in reality gets much more than she would have if she clerked or worked at any other employment at ten dollars a week. She has her room, which would cost her about two dollars a week. Her board, light, heat and laundry is fur nished, and these items would amount to at least seven dollars a week more if she had to pay for them. Besides, a working girl in shop, store or factory must consider wear on clothing and take into account ear fare and inci dental expenses. Three to four dollars a week wages, Thursday afternoons, two evenings a week and alternate Sunday afternoons 1 are the usual perquisites offered maids by families in moderate circumstances. As the majority of servant girls are j of foreign birth, untrained to our meth ods of work and liable to leave the mo ment they think they can better them selves. this seems liberal. But we only hear of the unusual cases; there are thousands of faithful workers in the ' homes of our country who make the interests of their employers their own and contribute largely to the comfort able happiness of the families whose j burdens they lighten. Such maids are | "help" in the fullest sense of the word. I p)«aAND HIS"! JimMONEY Copyright, 1916, by fiaorg* B( rr McCu tchaon. CONTINUED Efer devotiou to Kosemnry was won derful to see.

"It was necessary for me to bribe all of your servants, Mr. Smart." she said. "You did not offer the rascals mon ey, I hope." I said in a horrified tone. "No, Indeed!" She did not explain any further than that, but somehow i knew that money Isn't everything to a servant after all. "1 hope you don't mind my borrowing your butler and footman for the evening," she went on. "Not that we really need two to serve two, but it seems so much more like a function, as the newspapers would j call It." It was my turn to say "No, Indeed." "And now you must come In and kiss Rosemary good night." she said, glanc ing at my great Amsterdam clock In j the corner. We went into the nursery. It was past Rosemary's bedtime by nearly an hour, and the youngster was having J great difficulty In keeping awake.

Blake forgot himself and sat down rather heavily on the edge of the 1 bed. I think the poor woman's knees, gave way under her. "Hurrah!" I shouted to Rosemary, 1 but looking directly at the countess. "We're celebrating!" Whereupon the girl that was left In the countess rose to the occasion and she pirouetted with graceful abandon before me In amazing contrast to my j Jumping Jack efforts. Only Blake's i reserve and somewhat dampening ad- , monition brought me to my senses. "Please don't drop the child Mr. I Smart," she said.

Do they speud their leisure hours riding around and around on the gavly-decked circus horses? I)oj they always wear their abbreviated and dazzling costumes? Do they sometimes take a little nap on the slack wire 1 ? Do they ever forget their bewildering ac complishments and "come to earth" anil eat and sleep and tajk like ordi nary people? Really when they are out of the ring, the circus women are for all the world like ordinary people, except that, per haps, they are a bit more friendly and jolly and mutually admiring than many groups of other folks that come before the public eye. It has often been said that the members of a circus are "one big family," and although this is less true than in the old days, since now the various troupes join a circus for a few months and devote their winters to vaudeville, or some other engagements; still there is an intimate family spirit j his knoes.

But relatives or not, occasional vaudeville- artists or not, it is in variably the case among real circus folk that the circus and their particu lar "stunts" are the principal things in life.
