WORKING AS WAITRESS
EARL'S GRANDDAUGHTER
"Of course, my daughter has had our consent to work as a waitress—my husband and I got her the job," recently said Lady Coventry, wife of Sir Reginald Coventry, K.C., whose daughter, Mary Gwennlian, granddaughter of the Earl of Coventry, is working as. a waitress in London (states a correspondent). Mary left scliool when she was ID and, as slio wanted a position, it was suggested that she should take a job in one of our large restaurant con-, corns. She has boon there for about two years. I think that such a position will help equip her for life, for sho will come into contact and hear the views and ideas of all types.,and classes of people. I am afraid I do not know what my daughter is at the moment, whether sho is a manageress, waitress, or what. For you see, she lives at a hostel, and I have not seen her lately. However, tli.ero is one tiling I know and that is that she did not feel embarrassed as reported when our chauffeur and his wife were said to have sat down at one of the tables she served when we visited the restaurant—for we have no chauffeur! Alary is not a. specially independent type of girl, but she is doing this because she thought .that she ought to help herself."
