She responded coolly, and when Jennie came ino the room gaveher a withering glance As usual Walter noticed nothing, and chatted away in a lively manner. He even brought up the subject of the party, repeating what Mr. Gorman had told him that he had enjoyed himself immensely. After he left Mrs. Page said: "You Bhould discharge Jennie at once, Doreen. She 13 most inefficient ' "I know she isn't perfect," I replied, "but it is almost impossible to get a good servant especially for general work. If we could afford two it might not be so difficult, but we can't. It might be Weeks before I could fin J; anyone half as good as Jennie."

'That's all nonsense! You have of

fices where they have girls they can

We have offices, yes. But how

much their recommendation amounts

to is a question." "Well, you give me a list of offices and I will find you a proper maid."

"But if I let Jennie go and you don't find one, your visit will not be as pleasant. I can't attend to everything and go out with you." I didn't know, what tO say. I was cure she would be unable to find a maid. I was determined to keep Jennie. Yet I knew by he set of her lip's that she would try to replace her. Suddenly the thought came to me ;o let her try. I would fix it up with Jennie. I knew the wearisome task it was to go from office to office interviewing maids; the quick dismissal one received when it was found only one was kept, and that one expected to do wha?ver was necessary. So I at once fetched the morning paper and made a list of ail the advertised offices. Walter's mother was so sure she cou'd find someone, it would be iather a Joke on her when she failed.

An hour later with Fido under her

arm she entered the taxi I had called. Before leaving she s:iid: "You can give Jeniie a week's wag?s in lieu of notice. If possible I shall bring a maid back with me; if not sho will be here in the morning." I smiled as I turned away. It wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. Then I went intot h? kitchen. "Jennie, will you do something fo me?"

"Deed I will, Ma'am! Anything you

say." "You have a married sister, haven rou?"

"Yes, Bhe lives in Yonkers. She ione well, Nell did. Her husband's a plumber."

"Would you like to visit her a few

days? Your pay will go on just the

same." , "Indeed I would thit! But it's that old woman! She's mad because I spilled the salad in her lap. You can't get along alone. You'll get sick." I couldn't explain my idea to Jennie, a servant. I think down in my heart I was rather ashamed of myself; but i

was indignant at Mrs. Page for med

dling in my household affairs thai

was my excuse.

I said nothing to Jennie of another maid, nothing of Mrs. Page's errand. But as soon as the breakfast work was

out of the way I bustled her off with instructions to remain until I sent for

her no matter how long. She should have her full pay. What Bhe mistrusted I neither knew nor cared. She was quick-witted ani probably guessed something very near the truth. Tomorrow Mrs. Page returns with i Maid.

comfortable in low broad heeled' shoes. Vanity, which makes most women do a lot of foolish things at this time and

which always has prompted the wearing of high heete, will cause many to

go on wearing elevated heels. But it's a great mistake. Even if one must economize it's foolish! Indeed, aside from questions of health and comfort, it's cheaper to save one's good shoes

and wear loose low heeled "house

shoes" for the last few month of this period. Save old s-port shoes too, these are low heeled and built for comfort. The older they are, the better, for then they will have stretched and the feet need extra room now. Indeed, many young mothers will be distressed to find how their feet spread and swell at this time. Sometimes the ankles swell out to extraordinary proportions. But this is due

to pressure on certain nerves and muscles, and is not serious. In any case a doctor should be seen once a month. He will tell you that after the child comes all these unusual things will disappear. And the feet which grew so very large will have gone back to normal shape and will be better for the rest they have had and high heels may be worn again as

soon as the once mare.

H. G. L. Can't you go away for a short visit, even for a week or two? Often these carious- spells of depression are only a nervous reaction against seeing the same people, and the same objects, for too many months

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man 26 years old and am very much in love with a girl four years my junior. She is my stenographer. Every time I dictate to her it seems to me I will go wild because I love her so much. The reason I have never told her of my love is because she is already engaged. I don't think she loes her fiaace because he is more than twice her age and I imagine she is just engaged to please her parents. Would you advise me to tell her of my love? I do not get a chance to see her outside of working hours as her fiance works in the same building and always takes her home. She is alwaya very nice to me, but of course I do not know the extent of her feelings. . I will appreciate any advice you

can offer. DAN. Tell the girl of your love for her.

By doing so you might save her from a very unhappy marriage and bring happiness to her as well as to yourself.

FLAT HEELED SHOES Most doctors will tell young mothers, mothers-to-be I mean, not to wear high heeled shoes. For one reason, it makes it harder to balance the body, and at this time there's a curious unbalancing anyway. The weight, or center of weight, seems to change, it's easier to fall, the ankles turn more readily, stairs often cause dizziness. Most women will find out for themselves, even if a doctor does not happen to advise it, that , they are more
