tragedy, of life and of death, and a PAN
Drama in which, sometime, we ourselves
constitute the moving figures. Where is
it? On the streets of great city. Get up
early some morning and see it moving.
It's haIf-past Z o'clock, and taking your
stand on one of the well-known streets,
you wonder, first of all, where all the wo-
men are coming from. They crowd the
sidewalks. Some walk quickly. while
some drag along, as if all life were weari-
ness. Most of them are young, too young
to have such tired faces. They are the
busv bees in the hive. They are the hum
dreds of girls who live-God knows how
and who hurry every morning With the
horrible fear of being too late to take their
places behind the counters, or at the desks
in the great shops. 1t does seem as If,
for a little while at least, life should be

"these young girls" But what female
thing stays young when it has to solve
the riddle of earning its bread and butter?
Look at them as they go by, think OF the
long wearisome hours, think OF the rev

wonder. how it is that they manage to

Leave this street in the shopping district
at O'Clock, and go to the fashionable
avenue. There you meet the school girls,
hundreds of them; some walking alone
others in merry groups, and others, the
daughters of the very wealthy and the
very careful, are accompanied by maids
for fear even the sunshine might stare OF
fensively at these small girls. Them the
housekeepers are coming out. The busy,
wise women who propose to select for
themselves the dainties that will appear
upon their tables. At this time you VIII

who are not interested in the very latest

charities well. They see that the milk and
bread served to the children on the other
side are as good as that which is offered
to the small people in their own nurser-

many a one gives up her morning shop-

Very soon it's l o'clock, and half the
feminine population is rushing for its
luncheon. Some go home, some to the big
fashionable restaurants, and many more
to the quiet little places in side streets,

enough to at least satisfy hunger may be
gotten Some of the PhaPisees go to a
famous restaurant that was founded for
the benefit of working women. Here
good luncheon almost amounting to a
dinner, is served for 20 cents, and Mad
anne Hypocrite takes advantage of this OPP
portunity and saves her money. She and
her kind crowd up to the tables and keep
away the women for whom the Margaret
Louisa home, and places like it, were
founded. / wonder at what table the Hyp-

For the women of society, during the af-
ternoon, there are teas and teas, and no
end of teas. and possibly there's a special
entertainment of music or reading TO
which in between few minutes are given.
Six o'clock or a little after-and they are
all going home. The shop girl and the
society girl, side by side. One, tired be-

other tired because-well--how can anv

get tired? Then, you begin 70 see

city was emptying itself into the theaters.
Here's a large omnibus filled with a merry
party and chaperoned by a jolly matron.
Here's smart-looking bfougham, in
