If I am, I’m going to strike. Just disposed of a halt chew­ I ed breukfast. We ran for the train, which meant I was so jiggled about and so tired that it took me twice as long to do my work. Hope she gives me an hour or two of complete rest before anything more conies my way. 10:30 a.m.—Two glasses of ice waler have just arrived. It will take all the energy I can pump up in the next hour to warm me up to normal again. 10:50 a.m.—Half-chewed break- fast did not satisfy her and she had bought some peanuts and started again. 12m.—Peanuts have been drifting along steadily ever since. Think she has finished them, though. 12:30 p.m.—Decided she wasn’t very hungry, and instead of a good solid dinner sent me down a cold egg-nog heavy with chocolate. Could have managed it all right if it hadn’t been so unnaturally cold, but that made it terrible difficult to deal with. 1:10 p.m.—More ice water, 1:40 p.m.-—Was mistaken about the peanuts she found another hand­ ful in the bottom of her vanity bag, and now I am getting them again. 2:05 p.m.—More ice water. 3:10 p.m.—She has been lifting some haevy books, and as usual used my muscles instead of her arm mus- cles. You see, she’s never had any proper physical education—soft, j flabby, slouchy sort. Tired me al­ most as much as a six course dinner. 3:20 p.m.—Furtive fellow has brought us a box of carmels, and she has started right in on them. 4:30 p.m.—Have received some­ thing like a half of pound of carmels. Just heard her say: “Oh dear I don't I feel a bit well. The milk in that egg nog must have been sour.” 6:30 p.m.—We played a set of ten- 1 nis before dinner, and here I am all tired out and a lot of work to do. 6:50 p.m.—We were invited by a sport with a belt on his coat to I ■ sissy have a soda before going home. Had i a lemon phosphate and then had to run for the car. 7 p.m.—Fried taters, cucumbers, veal cutlets, catsub, cookies and con- tied blueberries. What do you know about that? 7:45 p.m.—We are strolling down to the corner with a knock-kneed guy in a sport shirt and white pants for a pineapple walnut college ice. 8:20 p.m..—Got home and found somebody had made some iced tea. She drank two glasses, I tried hard to keep the tea and the college ice separated, but they mixed it in spite of me. I go on strike. 8:30 p.m.—Have sent back the college ice and iced tea. 8:40 p.m.—Returned the blue- berries. 8:45 p.m.—And the peanuts. 9 p.m.—The devil to pay can’t get the doctor. 9:17 p.m.—Doctor found at the movies. Mother thinks it is a weak stomach she inherited from her fath­ er. Knock-kneed suggests it is the beastly weather—the big boob! 9:45 p.m.—Doctor says it is from a bllllous temperament. Good night.

A great many women are pretenders. That is, they pose as 'grand ladies' when they are not. Rarely does.such a women, when she appears at the credit man’s window, succeed in fooling anybody. The ex­ pert credit man knows that many well to do gentle-women dress plain­ ly and that many pompous women of the plush-horse type nevertheless have financial standing; but he al so knows that when a course featur- er women wears fake jewelry and ultra-fashionable clothes, or other bizarre combinations of cheapness and inexpensiveness, will bear the closest investigation. If she appears insulted when asked to answer a few customary questions the credit man simply confirms his suspicion that her account is not desirable, More- over, the credit man is dubious about a women who ts either unduly talk­ ative or needlessly uncommunicative. The woman who talks too much may be trying to hide something under her veil of palaver. And the one who will volunteer nothing at all is at least unfair to the store, for she must appreciate that they are entitl­ ed to know something about her be­ fore extending credit.” .□OOP.
