Page Six XII AS the summer passed, Mr. Cut ter ate more, slept more, and worked lees. Any hour ot the day you might find him dozing on his stool, his face supported by his two white hands. If you went to tell him that the water was low, he would pick up his pen and nod with a weary, harassed look as if to say he would come when he could ever get clear of what he was doing. Half an hour later, when you went again, you couldn't find him. He began to get irritable. One of my favorite paBtlmcs was por ing over the hotel register, es pecially its early pages. I liked to finger the copper paper weight while I read. Mr. Cutter allowed me to take both that and the register less and less willingly. Often after no more than 10 minutes he began to tap on his desk and beckon. When I put them back, he would straighten them with exaggerated care and then would return to his nap or his circles, I used to complain a good deal about him. "He's crabby," I said, vehemently. "And Papa is always just so nice to him." "Vour father is nice to every one," my mother reproved mo. But she must have noticed, as I did, that my father was espe cially nlco to, Mr. Cutter. Kvery noon he took the paper to him, and every evening he sot with him for a time In the office, though they seldom talked. "Mama," Sue snld one day, looking puzzled. "Is Mr. Cutler Ada's fcllowV" "Of course not," my mother an swered. "She likes him anyway," Sue argued. 'T'HIS was gelling more and more apparent to us all. She had made him a beaded napkin ring, Sleeping Beauties! 5 7 9 8 5 2 5 2 By MRS. ANeJ CABOT Make a crib doll of left over materials from your little girl's summer dresses and pajamas.

"All of us like him," my mother said, being very careful, "I don't," Julia put In. "But Ada shows it," Sue per sisted. "She ought not to do that, ought she, Mama?" "It Isn't up to us to pass judg ment," my mother said. "Of course, if it were one of you girls. ..." My cheeks wcrmcd. I showed how I liked Benjamin. I showed it all the time. But Benjamin whose eyes always went wander ing off after Ada didn't notice. He didn't notice anything any more. Ho was growing very glum. Once he had done his pumping after supper while Ada was washing the dishes, and they had had a great time plaguing each other. "You're slower than cold mo lasses," Ada wouM taunt. "Slow, am 17" He would go faster and faster, his big muscles bulging. "A slow-poke, am I?" His face would get red and his breath come hard. Sometimes he wouldn't stop until the water came bubbling from the overflow in the sink. After that he would sit down on the stairs, blocking her way when she started up. "You lot mo by, Mister." "Did you say tomethlng?" he would ask, seizing her wrists. "I don't hear very good tonight." But Ada had no time for him now. Every spare minute went In making tilings for Mr. Cutter or just sitting on the stops out side of the office. Benjamin began to do his pumping in the morning. Ho didn't have a thing to say to Mr. Cutter. If thoro was a message that had to go to the office, ho sent it by Boshy. Day after day ho wou)d drive out alone In a carriage, not even seeing mo wait inghoping on the steps, Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued from page 'four) Greek Foreign Minister Sophi a British puppet but surprised ev anopoulos at first was considered oryono by voting against the Brit ish on Argentina.

It wasn't just that' he was lazy, she said. Ho was wasteful, too. "Ht left the office Inkwell open. At meals ne J reordered, then neglected to clean his plate. Moreover, he was using too much kerosene. Every morn ing Ada brought his lamp down, bone dry." All of the other lamps were more than half full. Such extravagance! He must be burn ing It all night, she said. ' Suddenly one day she noticed something. The lamp was bono dry, but the wick barely needed trimming. It didn't make sense. Something funny was going on, she decided. . ' She lit Into Ada, demanding ah explanation. Ada " flared right back. Lot people mind their own business., . . . This had gone far enough, my mother decided.' That night she spoke to my fa ther about It. "Mr. Cutter is turning this place upside down," she said, "and I think you should discharge him." "It isn't his fault, Is, It?" my father demanded. "Maybe not, directly," my mother granted. . "But he is the disturbing influence. Besides, we haven't enough business to war-, rant his staying." "Oh, I don't know about that," my father, said, picking up his pa per. He never liked to face, un pleasant facts. i . "I know," my mother sold. ''. She! had gono through a lot that sum mer, and her patience was getting sorely tried. "He's no earthly good, anyway,, and It's, costing us money to keep him. I'm going to insist that you send him back." My mother seldom took a real Bland. There was a long; strained silence. My father got up and folded his pupcr. "I can't send him back," ho said quietly. "I couldn't oven if I made up my mind to It." He went out and closed the door.
