The United States Government employs woman as genealogical indexer at the Congressional Library. She has become an expert on crests, and can tell off-hand that of almost any great character in history. On one occasion a newly rich Western woman came to the Congressional Library and declared she wished to trace: her origin back to Helen of Troy, The Indy of the index explained that she had nothing to do with Helen of Troy, and that some persons even questioned whether Belen of Troy had existed. Yet the Wasterner would not be satisfied with any other ancestor, and had a crast made up such as Helen might have possessed.
