Togo Coaxes Down the Cost of Living
To Editor Good Housekeeping Magazine who desire to make high-life less costly.
Dear Mr.:—Please address all letters to Fineheimer Employment Bureau where I am looking for it, as usual. Sorrow for me. Sometimes I think I am like a shoot-gun, merely make to be fired.
When last seen I was employed at home of Mrs. Ethel McManus who reside with her husband, Mr. Ethel McManus at Honeyville-on-the-Hudson. They are a very matrimonial couple of people. They were married only a short time of yore. Therefore they are living in midst of wedding presents which they are trying to use as furniture. How superflous!
“Togo,” say this lady to me, “I hire you because we are too poor to live without a servant.”
“How smart idea!” I report with chivalry.
“Yes,” she repartee. “I learn this wisdom from newspaper: ‘A good servant will save Hon. Housekeeper $6 a week.’ Acting on this advice I hire you for $5 a week, which make following arithmetic: $6 - $5 = $1. Therefore I have cleaned up $1 a week by transaction.”
“If you kep 20 servants at that rate you could save sufficient to keep ottomobiles,” I pronounce joyfully.
