Maxine Tynes was, first of all, an African American woman writer originally from Nova Scotia. She was a poet as well as a short story writer. She also has written this story about a girl who does not understand the concept of "in service" because she connects it with beautiful clothes and large houses. Once she learns what the term means, she learns a lesson about life and a lesson about herself.
