Sometimes Virtue Is Its Only Reward
Another Fictionless Fable for the Fair About
the Girl Who Courted Recognized Danger
Ia. Plata a»-*» V
By ANN LISLE.
T HERM was once a pretty young
girl whose employer was known
as "Old Skinflint.” He paid his
private secretary $8 a week for sit
ting at a stuffy little desk In a dark
corner and working from 9 till 6.
HU own daughters got $8 a day to
expend in bright comers of electric-
lighted tearooms or anywhere else
they chose. And It never occurred to
Old Skinflint to think of his private
secretary as exactly as human and
ss full of the Joy of living as were the
butterfly young persons whose al
lowances were so much more beiaua*
pr'vnte secretaries, ware ao much lean.
YV,' • r vtmi 'p w,iti^*'
who earned 58 a week instead of
being given that much a day included
the fact that she had to hurry down a
cold lunch which the office boy
brought in to her and to stay at night
frequently to get out letters of which
the boss bethought himself at a quar
ter to 6, and which he must sign and
get off the very first thing in the
morning. The year that our pretty
young girl came to work for Old Skin
flint Ms family decided to summer
In California. And at the end of the
month he found himself very lonely
indeed.
Now. the girl’* name was Dulcie,
and she looked exactly «• sweet and
!ns*f * 1 • -«r ? dies* * *fl. «he
had golden hair which actually did
fall Jn ringlets about a classic white
brow not at all marred by the fact
that it was distinctly lowbrow. And
her big blue eyes were as vacant as
shallow pools. Her nose was little
and pert, her mouth soft and tender,
and her chin and jaw suggested baby
ish beauty rather than strength.
One afternoon at 6 Old Skinflint,
who was lonely Indeed, leaned across
his desk and asked, “What do you
say, my dear, to a little dinner with
me this evening?"
Dulcte knew very well that a little
dinner with Old Skinflint would be
l’kely to bear no relation to such sal-
f -‘-a- - *r '‘V bed r^'d
a great deal of modern literature
about Beauty and the ITeast, and
Morals and the High Cost of Living.
So she fixed her eyes firmly on Old
Skinflint, said a little prayer for the
Job she was quite sure she was los
ing, and then recited her creed:
"I am engaged to a young man, and
I am In love with him, and whenever
I get enough saved up out of my 58 a
week to buy me a hundred dollars’
worth of trousseau I am going to mar
ry him. So I don’t go out to dinner
with any married men—see?"
Old Skinflint blinked and remem
bered that Mr Annabel had presented
him with fifteen hundred dollars’
worth of b’lls for her summer ward-
•** ? tb * r • 1 *■’* hadn’t enit
much less, and then made a very re
markable speech.
"Quite right, my dear. The world
would probably disapprove of your
dining with an old man who might
very easily be your father—but if you
and your young man wait for a hun
dred dollars to pile up you will prob
ably know many times as lonely as
these I have while my folks are in
Sallfomla.
"So from Monday on yon get 510 a
week—and maybe some time the
young folks will take papa along to
Coney." And when Dulcie told her
young man about it, he said, "Nuts!
The sly old dog is probably crazy
about you, kid. You ought to be very
"•r-vf’il but p’sv the nmn ri^bt and
you eaji probably get papa to pay you
515 a week while he is feeling lone
some for his girls out in California."
However, Dulcie’s next pay envel
ope contained the usual 58, and when
she ventured a protest. Old Skinflint
looked at her with no glimmer of un
derstanding, and informed her curtly
that there w’ere plenty of young wom
en with ability quite equal to hers
who would be glad to work for 58 a
week, and if the salary was not suffi
cient she was, of course, free to seek
better pay.
Dulcie stayed and eontinued to save
a dollar a week out of her munificent
salary.
MORAL: Sometimes virtue is its
nnjf reward
In His Defense.
Mr. and Mrs. Gotrox had Just settled
down Into their new mansion, with bil
liard room, library and boudoir com
plete.
l*roudly the good lady showed eome of
her new acquaintances over the place,
expatiating on the cost of everything.
"Is your husband a bibliomaniac f*
asked one lady, when Mrs. Gotrox show
er! them Into the library, where every
book was & leather-bound edition de
luxe.
The hostess stared coldly at her ques
tioner.
"Certainly not,” she snapped, In of
fended tones. "He doesn’t Dibble a bit.
Not that he won’t take a drop now and
then with his meals, if the rest do. But
that’s as far as he goes.’’
He Knew of Two.
At the Sunday school one afternoon
the teacher started talking about the
heathen who worshiped Images of wtxxl
and stone.
"You know, children." she went on sol
emnly, “these poor, ignorant people call
their Images Idols. Now, Freddie, have
we any idol* In this country?"
Freddie thought hard fur a moment;
then his little face brightened.
