seven forty-five the next morning. She
goes home every other Sunday after- !

"We had guests on Easter Sunday!

sure few would desire to be in the posi
tion of a housekeeper attempting to
settle wages and hours for maids.
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

hear of the unusual cases; there are
thousands of faithful workers in the '

Efer devotiou to Kosemnry was won

able. She was learning to pronounce
my name and getting nearer and near
i er to It every day. At the time of
i which 1 now write she was calling me
i (with great enthusiasm) by the name
of "Go-go,"' which reduced to aborig
inal American means "Man-Wlth the
j Strong-Arm-Who-Carrles-Baby."
"It Is very nice of you to ask me op
to dine with you," said !.
| "Isn't ft about time 1 was doing
something for you In return for all
that you have done for me?" she In
quired gayly. "We are having a par
ticularly nice dinner this evening, and
I thought you'd enjoy a change."
I "A change?" said I. with a laugh,
j ."As if we haven't been eating out of
the sa me kettle for dßys!"
"1 was not referring to the food,"
she said, and I was very properly
squelched.
"Nevertheless, speaking of food,"
said I, "It may Interest you to know
, that I expected to have rather a sump

She laughed In pure delight, and I
j began to understand. By the Lord
Harry, the amazing creature was In
-1 viting me to eat my own dinner In her
salle manger! "Well, may I be bangedt
You do beat the Dutch!"
She was wearing a wonderful dinner
gown of Irish lace, and she fairly spar
kled with diamonds. As I looked at
her standing there by the big oak ta
ble I couldn't help thinking that the
count wns not only a scoundrel but all
kinds of a fool.
"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. She j
managed to put her arms around my [
neck when I took her up from the!
bed, all tucked away In her warm lit
tle nightie, and sleepily presented her
own little throat for me to kiss, that
particular spot being where the honey !
came from In her dispensation iof
sweets.

me To my own Intense amazement
and to Blake's horror I began to dance
about the room like n clumsy kanga

Into my ear, and 1 danced the barder
for that. The countess. recovering
from her snrprlse, cried out In laugh
ter and beenn jo clap time with her'
hands. 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. I had the great sat- [
Isfactlon of hearing Rosemary cry whr.ri .
I delivered her up to Rlake and start ;

She gave me a smile for that.

What do the spangled women with
little fluffy skirts and the lithe young
girls that fly througn the air and the
astonishing persons that seem able to
walk on spider webs do when they are
not in the arena? 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

in the modern big circus, such as the

surprising in a big commercial enter
prise and there is a foundation of re

literal meaning to the term family life.
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. Ask them how they came to go
into the business and they are likely
to say: "I was born in it," or " Well,
I really didn't have much to do or say
