"How can It when cooks draw down $137 a day?" "Nobody ever heard of a cook retting that much wages." Ma eaid skeptically. "No restaurant could pay that much 'nd not go broke." "What does this mean then." T. Paer asked, "when It say a fellah named Tschirky greta $50,000 a year for cookin' at the Waldorf hotel in New Tork?" "Land Bakes," Ma exclaimed, "that's almost as much as President Harding get." '" "Well " T. Paer suggested. "Maybe it's almost as hard to cook for a lot of drummers all the time as to be president, but lt'a a whole lot to pay a cook." "I; don't believe anybody can earn that much cooking." Ma Insisted. "If they can you sure owe me a lot of money." "I don't either," T. Paer agreed. "Some people," he added softly, "would be get tin the best of it if they was cookin for thei board." "You ain't lookln at me when you say ' that are yon ?" Ma asked suspiciously. "Becaus if you are," she remarked, "I know one cook that's going to strike." - ; "Now Ma." T. Paer said hastily, "you know I wouldn't say that of you, not - after the way I eat your vltUea. But," he. concluded diplomatically, "she's a - friend of your'n though I ain't nam in' no names." - "lt'a safest not to," Ma remarked. "She might hear of It nd Invite you over to dinner," - '.'Tin just talk'n between us girls," T, Paer said earnestly, "but I don't see how that Waldorf can stand it to pay its cook $137 a dayT r- "It . awful big place," Ma argued. "I walked past It the time we was back Eat" . "Maybe It is." T, Paer said, "but it'd take ('48 two bit meals every day Just to. pay his wages, not Qountin the cost of the grub or the wages of the dooks nd counts that wait on you." "They don't have two bit meals at the "Waldorf," Ma told him. Tou couldn't get a glass of water for that money.' They may cost more," T. Paer said. "but some of "orii ain't worth more'n that I If you'd get em at a ordinary bcanery." I . "I'd like to know what you know about J it," Ma scoffed. "You never et anything there." .

Paer answered. "It seems to me they ought to pay the dishwasher more'n the cook." "Why?" Ma asked in surprise. "All he has to do is clean things up." ' "That's the biggest part, of it," T. Paer explained to her. "They bring In a arm ful of things to eat with 'nd a few dabs of funny lookin' stuff all hid under grens 'nd with curly paper things on em." t "But ain't It good?" Ma asked. "I've always heard they had wonderful eats there." - :. ; i . ; " " "taybe it is after yoa get used to it." T. Paer admitted, "but I'd think you'd get all tired out shif tin forks nd spoons. "What did you have V Ma asked. ' "I bet you gorged yourself." "Not that anybody noticed, Tv Paer grinned. "After I left Bob I went to a lunch counter 'nd got a regular meal." ; "Why, the idea," Ma exclaimed in as tonishment. "What was the matter?" "Well." T. Paer confessed. ."The king that took our order give me something that looked like the program of some French, opera 'nd I Just pointed at one line 'nd told him I wanted that," "What'd he bring you?" -Ma asked with some little interest.' "I bet it was cooked nice.",. . 1--:; "Humph." T. Paer grunted. "I drew a dish of olives." "What'd Cousin Bob doT Ma, asked. "I should've thought he'd helped you out" . i "He wanted to divide with me, T. Paer said. "But I told him . I wasn't eatin' much on account of my. stomach." "What did Bob haver Ma asked. "Just a piece of beefsteak." T. Paer said. "nd it didn't look any better'n what you cook either" "Well." Ma said. "Sometimes I've thought we pay more for the cook than what he cooks at these restaurants 'nd hotels." v "I'll bet a lead dollar," T. Paer mused, "what .they pay that fellah $50,000 for's not to cook so much's to make the gobs he gives you look like a square meal." i . - . . ...... " : ' ' - siiuvnruiu t nil gfTg" 1021 T iNri.
