NOT SNOBS

BARONET’S DAUGHTER WORKING AS WAITRESS "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 Gwcnllian, grand-daughter of the Earl of Coventry, is working as a waitress in London. "Mary left school "when she was 19 and, as she wanted a position, it was suggested that she should take a job in one of our large restaurant concerns. She has been there for about two years. I think that such a position will help equip her for life, for she 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 she is a manageress, waitress or what. For you see, she lives at a hostel and I have not seen her lately. "However, there is one thing 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 tvlFen wo visited the restaurant —for we have no chauffeur! "Mary is not a specially independent typo of girl, but she is doing this because she thought that she ought to help herself."
