On the Girl’s Day Off.

“If my name did not sound like a page of Irish history I would be pretty sure to get that C. O. D. package tomorrow afternoon,” said the pretty girl. “But since It does sound that way I shall very likely not get It before Friday morning. That is because tomorrow is Thursday and most storekeepers feel rather dubious about delivering C. O. D. packages to anybody with a down stairs name on Thursday afternoon. The down stairs name is pretty apt to belong to a down stairs girl. It 1b her day of social activity, and what her employer will do with the C. O. D. bundle is a problem. Some receive It, others Bend it back to the store for next day’s delivery, but even those who pay the bill and take the package dn do it with poor grace and afterwnrd take out their revenge on the store as well as on the girl. Delivery wagons have had to make so many extra trips on account of Thursday afternoon holidays that many storekeepers now hold suspicious packages over until FYiday.”
