The Housekeeper’s
Check
By ALBERT BIGELOW PAINE
(Copyright. lMJti, by Joseph K. Uowic*».
Our new addition was complete, but
we never quite seemed to get through
paying for it. A number of times,
when we thought we had settled the
last and final hit of our liabilities, a
new demand would be presented, a
new hydra head to be smitten off, a
new wound to be seared over and for- !
gotten. A big brace for the tall new
chimney was an “extra.,’' of course.
Likewise the storm windows and a
new patent damper for the furnace,
guaranteed to save anywhere from
nine to ninety-nine per cent, of the
coai used, and to supply at least dou- .
ble the heat. The spark-screen, anti
irons, and other adjuncts for the tire
place—these, too, were outside the
contract, and a good deal easier to buy
than to pay for, even when the buy
ing meant mousing about in dusty an
tique stores, and the paying a simple
matter of drawing a check.
It is easy to draw cheeks when the
account is replete—in fact, it is rather
a pleasure to do so—I am sure the
Little Woman used to regard me with
an admiration akin to awe as I care
lessly tilled in the figures and name
of payee, and signed my name with a
neat flourish on the line below.
I suppose she wondered why 1 never
let her do it. and very likely consid
ered me selfish in conserving to my
self this important and ratner agree
able duty, though 1 did not think of
th.s at the time.
It presently became less agreeable.
When the third figure of our balance
waned into the perspective until it
became a thin line that would become
a vanishing point at the least touch,
the construction of a check became a
serious matter. It was no longer light
ly conceived and carelessly put to
gether. with decorative scrolls at the
end. like a spring lyric. It became a
thing of forethought and reflection —
to be wrought at last with a grave dig
nity that savored of the epic's solemn
close—with that feeling of sadness
and longing that marks the end of
each and every waning balance in the
banker's till.
As I was saying, our balance became
a feature of consideration, even dis
cussion. There were a good many
things we still needed in tlie way of
furniture and decorations, now that
our habitation was to our liking. We
also needed clothes. When we sat
down in our rather imposing rooms in
wnich there were a few good old
p.eeos of furniture, and some truly an
tique rugs, the fact that our apparel
was also good and old did not give
pleasure to the Little Woman.
She became almost disagreeable
about it one day. when I was arguing
for a new chair and declared that we
looked like tramps that had got in
while the folks were away.
i still urged the chair. I said that
clothes were a matter of display and
vanity. Also, that they were transient
and fleeting, while the chair would Le
the comfort of a lifetime. Whereupon
the Little Woman stated that there
were certain garments that were not
used for display, except in magazine
advertisements, and that these as well
as the chair were matters of comfort,
and needed a good deal more. She in
sisted that we had laid out enough on
extraneous luxuries for one year, and
that there were a few things we might
forego, in order to be decently clad.
To do the Little Woman justice, 1
may say that l believe her general ten
dency is rathtr toward furniture than
raiment—this being the true collector
spirit, and to be commended. She had
smothered her better inclination, this
time, and was ready to sacrifice the
chair for a silk' waist and something
to go under it. She meant to have
garments, whatever the cost. You
shall see how she was punished.
We went together. Neither could
quite trust the other alone in the de
partment store revel that was to fol
low the purchase of the waist. The
fascinations of a department store are
too great to be resisted singly. Even
working together and in full accord,
we yielded oftem r than was good for
i our balance sheet, or for the prospect
of the new chair any time within a
period when we might reasonably
hope to need comforts for the flesh.
We didn't pay as we bought. There
is great saving of ti:. t .vetting a
transfer card, and a .; r «•••:•.: ,n:y
of prompt delivery in having goods
come C. O. D. When we got through
we had bought most of the things we
could think of, and a good many we
never would have thought of without
seeing them, and that we couldn’t
think ol again when we got outside
and were on the train going home.
I had not counted the exact amount
of our debauch, but had run the fig
ures up loosely and liberally, and
realizing that the end was now inevi
table. drew a check next morning for
our full balance. Then 1 went away,
leaving the check and the obsequies
in the hands of the Little Woman. If
the amount was not quite enough she
was to make it up out of her weeklv
purse, it it was too niucn sue to
keep the change.
By some quirk of fortune It was too
much. It was several dollars too much,
i he Little Woman was elated until
the driver regarded the check rather
doubtfully and decided that he
couldn't give money for it. He would
give the goods freely enough. The
amount of them was fully ten times as
much as the change coming, but they
were only goods. Money was a differ
ent matter. He had probably heard of
bogus checks. This might be one of
them. He couldn’t exchange good mon
ey. however little, for a bogus check
Perhaps he was a new driver. I hope
so, for his sake.
The Little Woman’s argument was
of no avail. He was good-natured,
but he was firm. He was also ingeni
ous. He suggested that another check
for the correct amount would set
everything straight. If the missus
only had another check now. she
could write it to fit the figures of the
hill.
The Little Woman hesitated. She '
had never been allowed to perform
this especial and sacred rite, .timeeh
she had signed almost every oth r ! i <1
of paper, from a receipt for a 1 >' f
coal to a first mortgage, with coupons.
A check seemed of less importance
than these. Besides, a new check
would leave a balance as a starting
point of a new account. We were as
one, why not?
She told me about it when I got
home. It seems she had certain mis
givings by that time—probably the
promptings of a sub-conscious mem
ory of banking matters and a cashier's
arbitrary requirements in the matter
of characteristic signatures. It was
too late to do anything that night.
Tne bank was closed long ago. and I
did not think it wise to spend the
night in looking up the president or
even the cashier, to explain.
1 don’t think she slept a great deal.
She had some idea that an officer
would be waiting down stairs in the
morning, and that she would never
look on our Precious Ones or her silk
waist again. I consoled her with the
suggestion that, while ignorance of
the law was regarded as no excuse,
there were certain extenuating cir-s
cumstances—that I thought the Pre
cious Ones would hardly he grown,
and that the silk waist might be in
fashion again by the time she re
turned to gladden our hearts once
more. Still, there was an uncertainty
about the outcome that made the
bright morning, the new waist, and
our general assortment of furnishing
goods as ashes to the Little Woman.
She was sorry now. She wished she
had let me buy the chair. We hail an
early breakfast.
The banker regarded me rather
doubtfully when I had finished my
statement. He had known me on both
sides of the ledger for some time, but
this was a new phase.
“You say your—eh, housekeeper
made a check, without a full know
i was cov ring the Little Woman's
identity and a lack of knowledge, not
altogether unnatural to the sex, but
which l felt that he, as a banker,
might iegard with scorn.
“Of course,” he proceeded, “as one
not directly r lated to you the r"af'cr
appears somewhat more serious Had
it been really one of your family now
—your sister, for instance, or your—”
“Oh. but it’s just the same, you
know." I put in. “I mean, of course,
that she—-that site's really one of the
family—that is, of course, it's ail
right, I mean."
I jiaii not explained n/y plan to the
Little WOman before starting, i had
an undercurrent of wonder, now. what
she would say if she could overhear
; my efforts to get her decently out of
the pitfall into which her pride had
1 tumbled us. ! hoped she was enjoying
her new things,
A clerk brought the cheek at that
moment. It had come in from the
clearing house, hftving traveled safely
through several miles of circumlocu
tion. The six inches between the
banker’s hands and mine would be the
hardest tug. The banker scrutinized
the signature severely.
I "Rather delicate hand for a—
housekeeper. How Ions did you say
she had been in your service?”
i named the largest, number of
years within human limits, and re
\ viewed the proprietary interest she
had always felt in our affairs—the
amount of receipts and things she
was daily called upon to indorse—and
gave another and improved version of
the episode with the intelligent driver
who was willing to give any amount
of goods for my check, but no change.
I abused the driver—there was no
harm in doing that—he wasn't there,
and it wouldn’t have hurt him. any
how. I think the driver saved the sit
uation. The banker took a hand with
me, at abusing him. Then we were
united against a common enemy, and
the Little Woman was safe.
1 thought she would he tearful and
contrite and grateful wfhen i arrived
with the new’s that it was all right,
aDd that she was to remain w-ith us.
