the general agent in Maryland OF the
Mutual Guarantee Building and Loan
Association, OF Richmond. 1t says; III
there is such a thing as roll OF honor
for building and loan agents, Mr.. vii
liams should be at the top. In his months
work here he has sold 1000 shares Of in
stalment stock and 5000 OF psid-up diyi-
dend stock" The Undorwrit0r adds:
1.-THE management OF this company has
n right to feel proud OF Mr.. Williams ana
his work here, which speaks well for him.
especially when the State has been, and
is. worked by so many national compa-
MES, and when it Is the home Office OF
half q dozen. Mr.. Williams Is only "a
years old, and has been In the business
but fifteen months. He Is young man
" prepossessing appearance, and one
who would impress a businessman when
others would not. II there were many
such men in the building and loan field,
the nationals would. without doubt. have
a right to feel proud OF their work"

1T is difficult to see who would take

Gus lady, tactful beyond the dream
ing Of the young girl, to whom the

self, she poses as the principal fig
ure, the spinster smooths away en-
barrassments, does the right thing,
speaks the right word in the right
place, and keeps the wheels of life
running without friction.
To her, serene, well-bred, tran
quill, aware of good and evil, toler-
ant of that which is mere crudity
and inexperience, severe only where
falseness and cruelty challenge,
soft-spoken, sweet-mannered, or
possibly brusque and spicy, yet none
the less charming.
II a woman of wealth, the spin
ster holds in her capable hands the
threads of many charities, advising
here, bestowing there, Withholding
or endowing, as she deems judicious.
Perhaps she develops in her own
person rare gIfts-music, painting,
embroidery-attaining in each de-
gree of excellence which only leis-
ure and taste in combination can
arrive at. Very likely she prefers
to seek out gifted younger people,
boys and girls who need that some
one should believe in and help them
on, and to these she is a patron
saint.
Many lines of work are open to
her which marriage would have
closed, since the wife and mother
must exclusively devote to her home
and its sphere of action talents and
sympathies which the spinster may
use in the service of her age. Though
the one may be more blessedly hap
py, the other is not without rewards
and compensstions,
Poor in this worlds goods, the
spinster fills equally a most impor-
tant niche. Her modern educa-
ton makes her an independent fac
tor in many fields, a mott -be-des-
pissed competitor in the market and
the shop. And since probably she
needs not remain a spinster unless
she choose, society owes her its
thanks for her generosity in keep
ing herself at its service, and max
ing so winsome o feature of its NOV
ing panorama.
