Inquiries Cheerfully

HOW SHE
SOLVED IT
By EDITH V. ROSS
"Tlio servant quetttlour' remarked
Mrs. Tldbull to Mrs. Strath moro.
"Talk about tbo cost of living! It'.i
not to bo spoken of tn tho sumo breath
as tbo servant question. And tbo
trust*! What do 1 care about their
extortion when 1 can't get a servant
without paying her double what I used
to pay? And sho won't stay with mo
anyway!"
"It's tho universal experience," re
plied Mrs. Strathmoro. "I'm having
tho Barac trouble."
"When I found 1 couldn't use white
or black servants," continued Mrs. Tld
bull, "I thought I'd try yellow. So 1
got a Chinese cook, who was highly
recommended by tbo employment
agent who sent blm to me. 1 thought
that, coming from the Celestial king
dom far away on tho other side of the
globe, where his class are very poor
and must live on mice and such things,
be would be In clover nt $25 a month,
with as good food as the market af
fords, notwithstanding roa:4 beef Is
worth neurly its weight In gold. But
1 found that be had come over to mnko
money tn order that be might go back
homo to feed ou tho mora expensive
diet of kittens, and nothing but his
wages In dollars and cents counted
with him. What do you supposo he
did when I paid him bis first wages?
Why, he said I had agreed to pay blm
$30 n month, and when I demurred,
although the dlnuer was to be pro
pared. he said: "Holly good. I go to
nother placc whero 1 get $50.' "
"Uow provoking!" sympathized Mrs.
"Well, there wasn't any use to dcriu
back where I hnd started with white
help nnd run through the races to the
Chinese, so 1 must stick to the yellow.
I determined to 'light It out on this
line IT It takes nil summer' nnd told
the employment agent to send mo an
other Chinaman. Ue sent me a mild
eyed man, who looked as Innocent as
a dove, though not tho same color,
?o went Into tho kitchen, cooked an
excellent dinner, asked mo for a small
advanco on Ills wages, whicb I was
silly enough to give him, nnd the next
morning, not hearing sounds below, I
went downstairs and found the Are
gone out In the kitchen nnd not a sign
of breakfast. My man had depnrtcd
with his advanced pay."
"What a miserable creature!" put In
the listener to the talc of woe.
"I was obliged to make a tiro my
self nnd get breakfast Luckily 1 hnd
learned to cook beforo 1 was married?
my daughter shall learn to cook If
worth a million? and I got up a break
fast which I hnd paid the Chinaman to
get I thought that It would be better
to keep on getting It myself without
paying some one else to do It for mo,
but my husband objected, and, since
I hadn't yet got through with the yel
low peril, I. called on the employment
mnn for another cook. He didn't say
anything, but hejooked surly, nnd I
knew well enough he was thinking
that I didn't treat my servants kindly,
lint I smothered my anger and paid for
another servant
"Tljis one remained with me two
days, got up excellent meals, nnd 1
wns congratulating myself that at last
I bad found n treasure when, on tho
second day. he pnraly7.ed me by giv
ing me notice that he wns going to
leave mo.
" 'For heaven's sake," I oxclnlmod,
?why do yon go? Why does every
Chinaman who Is sent me go?'
"lie hesitated, and I urged him. Fl
" 'You 110 pay Chinaman.'
"'Don't pay? Tho last man I bad I
advanced bis wages, and he left mo
without even working out what I had
paid lilm.'
"The mnn shrugged his shoulders.
" Tell mo why you think I don't pay
my servants their wages?' I urged.
"He went to the klteben table, turn
ed tt upside down, and there on the
lower side of tbe boards In red chalk
were Chinese characters
" 'IIow did they come there?' I ask
ed. 'What do they mean?'
"'Too no pay Chinaman, fie write
that to toll other Chinamen.' was tho
reply.
"A light broke In upon my stupid
brain I had engaged a Chinaman to
work for me. thinking tbe Chinese In
nocent of the ways of western serv
ants, and. behold, he had gone far be
yond them In .shrewdness! He bad de
manded more than I bad agreed to pay
and. when I refused lilm, not only left
me with the dinner uncooked, but left
behind him a false statement.
'"Translate It.' t <ald.
" This lady belly bnd. She no pay
wages '
"After arguing with tbo mnn a long
while I Indu rd him to remain with me
on condition that I pay dnlly, but ho
was satislleil that tbe swindling was
on the other 'side and preferred to get
his wages at the end of tbo month
But when he was advised by a friend
thnt he could get more at another place
he left me.
"Siuce then I have been trying all
?orts of expedients. I endeavored to
get a girl for the afternoon and even
ing. to sleep In her own homo. Thus
far I've not bad a single bite for this
plan. I've considered giving up house
keeping and tbe comforts of borne, bnt
my husband and children could not en- 1
dure boarding. I have finally decided
to plod on as I am. Indeed, there aro
advantages In doing one's own work,
j tVo have our house to ourselves, have
; no fears of disasters In the klteben,
j and It Is mucb less expensive."
