One day in Dallas, Tex.. * while I was employed In the Kimball ,'js| hotel, I beard that a cook was wanted (. ({ by a theatrical company traveling In t a private car. The owner of an employment agency told me if I was a ^ Iman I could get $60 a month. That gave me an idea. I bought a cheap suit, cut off my hair, and next day re- ' turned to the agent and completely sh< fooling the employment agent, was "P hired for the theatrical company." pa< "I loved him and thought that vrith letl his money and my little savings we could buy a restaurant and make a 8,1 good living," said Marietta Jelly to- t)l,t day, in her home at Sheffield. "lean- wu not believe he (she) is a woman. 1 an( thank God though that I did not. leave 1 Kansas City with him or her, or, Oh! boy I don't know what to do.
