Show J She Knew Her Place. A woman, one of the 30.000 British 1 working for the Y. M. C. A., was assigned : to scrub the Eagle hut floor in London. She had done little manual labor in her life, but accepted tlie job without protest and went down on her hands and knees with a pail of hot water, a cloth and a cake of soap. Soon the water in the part was black. A man, in uniform passed. The woman looked up and asked if he would mind emptying the pail and refilling it with clean water. There was a pause, then this reply: "Dammit, madarnc. I'm an officer!" This time there was no pause, but like a flash the scrubwoman retorted: "Dammit, officer, I'm a duchess!" Los Angeles Times. |
