Adv, HER OWN WAY As Told To the Author of "The Tangle'' BY A GIRL OF TODAY A GOOD BLUFF "I turned toward the door of Mr, Sterns' office, when he called me ck. 'Here, I didn't say for you to go he shouted. I answered composedly.

"At that he came off his high horse, for he knew I was the best hat checker in town and had more friends than any other girl in such a position. He also knew you are the prettiest girl he had ever had at his place We both meant money to him and he wasn't going to let us go. 'Oh, Mamie, be yourself. Go back and take care of your forlorn chicken If you want to, but remember that the first complaint I hear of either of you, out the "firm" goes After that things went along fairly smoothly. Mamie acted as a buffer to me at the restaurant and I helped her out when her mother's complaints nearly drove her wild at home.

I grew In time to be what Chuck would have called "hard boiled." The tinseled clink 'of silly compliments meant nothing to me and I was able either to ignore or turn aside with an Irrelevant remark the too obvious flatteries of the masher. It was possible, however, to act at all times as, though I did not understand the advances of Horton, Sterns' friend, and I would not let Mamie interfere as she wanted to when others of our patrons' speeches and actions were too obnoxious. rou'd not let her lose her Job even If I did mine. I kept congratulating myself that I had. never seen anyone In the res taurant who had known me before coming here, for.

although I war mak'ng considerable money with my wages and tips, I knew I was going. to leave the place as soon as pos slble. I did not like It In any way. I Brew to hnte the ordinary "man about town" the lltard' as Mamie called him. The difference In his attitude to the young women h' brought to luncheon and dinner ano" the eirt amn1oven of the rentatirant was' an insult to womanhood.

I have know fathers and sons to make re marks to Mam'e and me who would knock a man down for mnk'ng the same remark to their womenfolk. For a long time had managed to nass this sort of thing over, but one evenms the cuma came. (Copright, 1926. NEA Service, Inc.) Tomorrowi Discovered, DEATHS In Berk and Vicinity' 4 MRS. MARY A.

March Three riotous processions and twenty two "queens" ushered mi careme, or mid lent Into Paris today.

The boulevards were black with, spectators from the Place De La Republic to the Place De La Concorde at least an hour before the.

queens of Paris, Simons Maltre, attended by the queens of the different corporations of the city, appeared. The poor little queens for a day, recruited ftom among stenographers, hair dressers and waitresses, sitting In solitary grandeur upon carriages of the style of the middle ages, had their feet so chilled and their hands so numbed that they forgot to smile and throw the traditional kisses of the mi careme procession to their, loyal subjects. The processions was headed by the "queen of queens," Mile. Isambert. The cold placed such a damper on the spirits of the "queens," that at one part of the boulevards the spectators organised a demonstration, shouting "how about one little smile?"
