MRS. HUCK IS HOTEL MAID IN PITTSBURGH

Guest Surprises Her With 50-Cent Tip—lnstructor Peevish. Winnifred Mason Huck. former Congresswoman and the first woman to preside over the House of Representatives, got. herself sentenced to prison. Guiltless of any . crime, she sought answers to the questions—> An) our prisons uunianer Can a girl, crushed by her fellow men, regain her place in society? This is the twenty-first story, written for The Times. By Winnifred Mason Huck Former Representative to Congress From Illinois. I "I X Saturday I received rrty first I V pay envelope. I still have I it. On the outside is printed a legend to the effect that “it is not how much you earn that counts, but how much you save.” I learned how to stand in a long line before the cashier’s window and wait for my envelope, with a curious exaltation stirring in my heart. I bought a newspaper, paid the boy 10 cents,-and told him to keep the change. I had always felt mean as I passed him in the morning, full of breakfast and of news, and never bought a paper. Meekly, I paid my landlady. She gurgled and twittered. She chirped that it was Customary, etc., ■ etc., and she had meant no offense, etc., etc., and she was so glad that I was beginning to see things right. My Escape I laid plans for my escape to Pittsburgh. I was not making enough money in AVheeling, and I thought I could make more in a larger city. Within twenty-four hours I found myself applying for a job at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburg. The doorman told me to report at the housekeeper’s room to Miss Walters.

The latter proved to be a keeneyed, soft-voiced woman who looked at me' inquiringly. I tried to look the role of a woman seeking a job in a hotel. What I said was, "I am looking for work. I have had no experience except in private homes, but I believe I can learn rapidly. Job Open A night maid’s job was open. I did not tell of being In prison, for I was more interested in getting the job than in learning the housekeeper’s attitude toward an ex-convict. I selected as references my two brothers and a i^ighbor. Then I sent a telegram in code

to my brothers, instructing them how to reply to certain inquiries regarding one Elizabeth Sprague. Until they received those messages, they had no idea where I was or what I was up to. "Your hours will be from 4 o’clock till midnight,” said Miss Walters. “You must have a black dress. We supply caps and aprons. Report first to the linen room.” Linen Room The linen room was the headquarters of the maids, where tasks

were assigned and supplies Issued. The first night I was shown how to put a room in order. The next night I was sent on the rounds with an old employe. It was evident that I would not be permitted to work alone until the /fnanagement had heard from those whom I had named as references. The old employe who piloted me was a dour little creature whose arm was In a splint from a fall down the stanrs, but whose bitter tongue was uncrippled. Her name was Miss Fall. Within an hoUr, she was tonguelashing me for carelessness in my work. i "Just look at that,” she shrilled. There were some ashes on the floor beyond the bureau that I had missed Before telling me about it, she had reported at the linen room that I was lazy and careless. When she had finished her harangue, she said, “Now get out! Go

to room 68. There’s new baggage in there.” “New baggage” meant anew guest. He was a kindly looking man. I picked up the papers left by the -departed guest, dusted the bureau and desk, emptied the waste basket and was getting a supply of towels and soap from the cart when Miss Fall appeared again. She flounced into 68, and on Into the bathrom. “Just look at that” she snapped. “I was Just going to do the bathroom,” I apologized. “Didn’t I tell you always to do The “new baggage” looked at me the bathroom first? pityingly. I trred not to look too pathetic. But his heart was touched and when I left the room, the joke was on me. He had given me a 50-cent tip. (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Tangle TELEGRAM FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO SALLY ATHERTON: Will you please give to some charity in Hollywood one hundred dollars in memory of Bee? Check in the mails. I did not send flowers because I knew there would be more than could be taken care of, If possible I should like the money to go to some poor young mother to help her care for her child and keep it with her. Give my sincerest sympathy to Dick and keep some for yourself. I know how much you thought of Bee and how much you will miss her. LESLIE. LETTER FROM PAULA PERRIER TO SYDNEY CARTON: My Dear Sydney: You know I came to you once when I was in great trouble. You were so kind and sympathetic at that tinfe that you saved my life, and alsh the life of my child. So at this time I am coming to you again. I am not in great trouble now, Syd, but I have a very serious problem to work out, and I don’t know what to do. You have probably heard Leslie Prescott speak of Bee Summers, and I suppose you have heard of her death. Mr. Summers and I have been very good friends ever since I came out here as he was the first one to really encourage me in my cinema work. His wife in some way got if into i her head that heV husband and I were in love with each other, or at least that we were more than ordinarily interested. I don’t know what i Mr. Summers said or did that gave 1 her this impression, for I am certain- j ly not interested In Richard Summers except as a friend. I liked her very much better than I did him. Since she came here as Mr. Summer’s wife, we have been very good friends. The other day before she died—she lived only ten days after the baby came—she called me into her room one afternoon and told me she wanted my to take the baby and bring it up. I didn’t know what to say. It seemed unfeeling to refuse the request of a dying woman, especially as I love babies so much, and have been saying all along that I -would like to adopt on®. However, I know that if I adopt Bee Summer’s child, I am going to shake Hollywood to its center. Beside all this, I do not know if I am prepared to have this bond between me and Dick Sumers. Perhaps his wife was right about Dick, and she wanted to make it easy for us to drop into that intimacy which ends in marriage. Rut, Syd, I don’t want to marry Dick Summer®, or for that matter any baby, but I do py>t want Dick. What shall I do, mon ami? PAULA (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

■s Martha Lee Says THE HEART OF A WOMAN REMAINS UNCHANGED

Take them by and large, the hearts of the girls of today haven’t changed a whit. The girls may “01’ Timer ’ the boys, they may be full of cigarette smoke, and reek of hooch, but

they’re still sentimental. And a steady diet of “camaraderie” doesn’t satisfy the inner woman who wants and craves for her man to find her the most wonderful adorable, desirable woman in all the world. She may laugh at the stories grandmother tells about grandfather proposing on his knees, but deep down underneath she visualizes this romantic scene and appreciates the sweet memory of it that her grandmother holds. Not that this Is propaganda for the cleaning and pressing establishments. Not at all. But you can’t tell a book by its binding. Almost every woman will respond to the kind of sentiment that isn’t melodramatic, but which is sweet and powerful with love. Moreover the longer she’s married the more she craves attention and lovemaking. and don’t you husbands forget that. Keeps Him Guessing Dear Martha Lee. I am a man forty yearg old and have been married eleven years. My wife has deserted me twice in that time and sued me for divorce both times. The first time it wasn't granted, and the second time she withdrew and I took her back. But I have a great worry on my mind, as I don't know what step she will take next I hare always worked and made the living. My wile works on her own accord and eaves a'l her money, but never Jells me how much she has. But 1 know she has four bank books. I have to spend my money. I think it is pretty soft for her. as I stand all the expenses. We never quarrel and I say nothing to hfr about her savings. She is no companion to me. We simply share the same roof. She left me the first time for another. She says she doesn't like me and that my kisses don't mean anything to her. Still, she is always ready to go out with me. Sho is a good cook and always has the meals Peady, but there is something about her I can't understand. I have lived with her eleven years, but still I don’t know her. TREMBLING JIM. Well, I’d say you possessed a wise wife. Any woman that can keep a man guessing for eleven years is to be eommendeH, not accused. No doubt she feeels this treatment necessary to keep you alive. Lots and lots of husbands, sad to relate, lapse into dismal combinations of carpet-slippers and newspapers. And there’s nothing to inspire a pretty, peppy, live-wire of wife in that. Such husbands sometimes need nothing short of dynamite to move them. Play the game with her. That’s what she expects. Be as nearly like the Valentino that she pictures in her mind as you can. Court her. Make love to her. Don’t be a doormat, however. Why shouldn’t you spend your money? You’re supposed to be the provider. Let her save hers. When you are both old you may need it. As long as she does her part at your home and is a ( fine wife to you, you should havs no kick coming. She probably has an excess of energy and she works it off that way. But I would demand that she be my companion. Play her game, and I think she will readily play yours. Making Up Dear Martha Lee: My “steady” and I quit recently. I am more to blame than he is. I think. What should I do? I want him so He has a birthday soon. Would it be all right for me to send a greeting to him lust as I would to any friend? LONESOME. Os course. Never be too proud to admit a fault. Use your own discretion as to adding a line or two on the back of your greeting. He Writes Fir§t Dear Martha Lee: I have been away, and during my absence I met a young man. I saw him several times. Is It or is it not my place to write him first? No. don’t write to. him first. It is his place to make the overtures of friendship.
