The little stenographer stood at the
door, looking dubiously at the descending
elevator. Then, with a deep sigh
and a solemn expression, she turned
and pushed open the little gate.
"Ah?am I just?awfully attractive?
when you dcn't know me very well?"
she inquired seriously of the bookkeeper,
her brow wrinkled in perplexity.
"I tell you?it's that plaid skirt!"
he exclaimed, turning wondering eyes
upon the broad bars and stripes. ."It's
a perfect magnet for eyes. But who's
been troubling you?" He frowned with
with an effect of extreme ferocity.
"No, It's not that. They can admire
my skirt all they want, if they'd
only be still about it I But it's lots
different from that!" She sank dis
many into ner cnair ana rocsea dsck
and forth, deriving comfort from the
squeaks It emitted.
"I've tried to be nice," she said
remlniscently. "But I didn't try to be
especially nice, I know I didn't. I
don't believe I was more than Just
natural! Do I have to turn into a perfeet
sphinx?or Into a prim old maid,
to be comfortable?"
"You've got me," admitted the bookkeeper.
"Now, If you'll just give me,
say, three clues?or maybe a good
hint, I'll see If I can guess, that Is,
if it's a riddle." He waited invitingly.
"Honestly?I'm serious!" insisted
the little stenographer. "I may have
to quit if it gets worse, though I don't
know how it could!"
She seemed very woebegone.
"What's really up?" asked the bookkeeper
sympathetically.
"Is It wrong to smile?at towel
boys and elevator men and window
cleaners and janitors and painters and
?and even messenger boys!" The
question ended in an impetuous exclamation.
"Not if you like to," declared the
bookkeeper, judiciously.
"Well, the towel boy, one day he
asked me what my first name was.
And was hurt "because I wouldn't tell!
And the nicest of all, the messenger
boy, the one that I always wanted to
call, and the one that I thought was
about fourteen, he took hold of my
hand with the message the other day
and wouldn't let go. Oh, it was dreadful?though
I'd never said anything to
him but good morning or some such
thing!
"And?and," the little stenographer
flushed, "the janitor winked at me yesterday
when I smiled at him!"
"Wait till I see him?" said thej
bookkeeper.
"But that's not all," she broke in. j

paused.
"Well, It's not so bad." comforted

j BEAUTIFUL MAID MARY j
*i
J By HARMONY WELLER. J
Mary Perkins did not answer the advertisement
for a maid out of a spirit
ot adventure. On the contrary, she
was in absolute need of employment
in order to make both ends of her
financial life meet. The embroidery
she did was not remunerative enough
to pay expenses and Mary had no further
business training.
The young author who had advertised
had pondered long and deeply
before putting forth his need in the
newspapers, yet there was no alternative.
He must have some one to look
after his home and he was old-fashioned
enough to feel that a woman and
not a man should do it
When he answered Mary Perkins'
ring at the door bell Everly hoped It
would be an applicant waiting there.
The girl standing outside was slight.
Her hair was neatly brushed back and
her eyes looked curiously large
through the thick-lensed glasses she
wore. Her skin was of a dull, almost
Indian hue.
"I have come In answer to your advertisement
for a maid," she said, and
Everly opened the door.
His writing den was nearest to the
entrance, and thither he led Mary Perkins.
"All that is essential for me is," he
said to her, "that you can keep house
intelligently?and quietly." He looked
at the girl in so helpless a way that
Mary was tempted to laugh. "If you
could manage in half a day I would
much prefer your being here only from
ten o'clock until after my dinner in the
middle of the day."
"That will suit me," Mary replied.
And from the very beginning Mary
took complete possession of Everly's
establishment.
So excellent was Mary's cooking
that Everly ventured to suggest one
of the dreams of his author's mind.
Always, since the beginning of his
literary career he had wanted to have ?
editors and publishers dining at hh
own table.
"That Is," thought Everly, "It is easy
If Mary will stay and serve dinner."
He went forthwith to the door and
called her.
When she stood bcsida him, Everly
found his eyes opening a trifle wider
than was usual with them. Mary
seemed so different, so altogether different
from the girl she had be It
took him a moment or so u
that the thick-lensed glasses had been
discarded; that the skin was curiously
fair and the hair wonderfully riotous.
"You called me, sir?" Mary suggested.
"I called the old Mary. What have
you done to yourself?"
"I grew tired of looking so plain,"
she admitted. "When I applied for the
position I was very much in need and
I felt certain you would not engage
me as a maid if?" she broke oft with
downcast eyes.
"I most certainly would not!" said
Everly with conviction. He sighed a
second later and Mary asserted her
rights as a successful domestic.
"My fingers have not lost their cunnine*
TrWh th#? cnlinarv art iust because
I am less homely than you thought me.
I can serve as good a meal and keep
your house as clean as I ever did."
"I am perfectly well aware of all
these facts," Everly admitted, "but
that does cot alter the fact that you
are far too lovely, too altogether beautiful
to?" he broke off and smiled at
the humor of the situation.
"Too beautiful to what?" asked
Mary.
"Well?the fact is," admitted Everly,
"that it has been the dream of my
life to have a home to which I can invite
my friends. I wanted, next Saturday
night, to give a small dinner
party to six men, that is?providing
vnu would have been willing to ar
range everything for me."
"And why may I not? I can stay all
day Saturday and I will plan and servo,
a dinner that will make the editors accept
every story you send them."
"And have them all vying with
each other for your attention when
they see you?no, thanks." Because
Everly was completely mystified as to
his own sudden emotions and quite unable
to cope with the situation he
turned to his typewriter. That movement
had always been Mary's cue to
exit.
It was scarcely five minutes before
he heard her soft knock on his study
dcor. When she came in ho laughed
aloud, partly from relief and partly
because of his new emotion.
Mary's skin was dark; her heavy
u'ora in nlaee and her hair
5 1CIOOC.0 HVI V AAA
was severely drawn back.
"How many covers shall I arrange
for?for the dinner party, sir?" she
Questioned.
Everly jumped to his feet, took th?
glasses from her eyes, dragged tho
pinioned tendrils of soft gold hair from
their captivity and laughed whimsically
down into Mary's flushed face.
"I have thought of the only possible
way to keep you," he said breathlessly,
for things had happened rather suddenly,
"you understand?do you not,
dear?"
A moment later Mary looked up.
"But the dinner?I want to serve
Miat."
"I have told you the one condition
under which you can preside," Everly
said firmly; "either you are here as
my wife or not at all. I would have
to get a strange girl if you?"
"Tf I let you?which I will not,"
Mary wliispercd softly.
