The kitchen slavery has become the economic barometer of Europe. During the last years, in the neutral countries of the Old Continent had provided themselves with German cooks and German parlormaids. They came cheap. The guilder and the crown and the Swiss franc were worth one or two billion marks and the faithful handmaidens flocked to Copenhagen, Stockholm and Amsterdam by the wagon load. There was a girl with the old frontier blood in her veins. It was just nine days after her baby was born and four days after the child's death, she faced detectives and later faced the more exacting reporters, with a smile.
