The wife of a successful young literary man had hired a buxom Dutch girl to do the housework. Several weeks passed and from seeing her master constantly about the house, the girl received an erroneous impression.
Ogscuse me, Mrs. Blank, she said to her mistress one day, "but I like to say somedings."
Well, Rena?
The girl blushed, fumbled with her apron, and then replied, "Vell, you pay me four tollars a veek�'
Yes, and I really can't pay you any more.
It's not dot, responded the girl; "but I be villing to take tree tollars till�till your husband gets vork."
