One Must Conform to Their Standard or

We may, if we choose, sheer at

writes Elizabeth Bisland in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "but when a man is
ambitious or woman is proud he or
she desires to secure for himself or her
self, and for their children, the priv
ilege of being received as an equal any
where. And however much one may
rail, the fact remains that wealth and

the standard in social life, and that II
one wishes free admission every
where one must conform ones self to
that standard. A great many people

ures, and these resentful folk demand
in bitter amazement why any one ad-
mits their pretensions, or struggles for
their recognition. The answer Is not
far to seek. A man may have all the
intellectual attributes, and yet not be
of sufficient Importance to be admitted
to the orchestra OF society, and the
musicians may say, We admit that
you are good and clever, but you can't
play the violin, and you can't become a
member of our orchestra
Now the swell. as he is commonly
termed, is the man who is an artist in
living: he may have neither moral
ideas nor standards, nor be overbur-
dened with brains, but he knows how
to live, as far as the ceremonies of life
go, brilliantly, gayly, imposingly, and
he collects around him others who have
the same talent, and together they sue
coed in forming sort of orchestra of
society, all Of them playing in tune and
in time with one another, and making
a magnificent harmony of ceremony
and social intercourse. And when a
person comes along who insists upon
Joining their orchestra they are gen
orally extremely rude in their refusal
and cause much enmity, or else they
listen to the instrument he plays and
find it well played. and so take him
into their band, and cause still more
amazement and envy to the others who
have been denied admittance. And
that is the whole answer to the conun-
drum Mrs. b weeps over. Mrs.
knows how to play the social instru-
ment, and Mrs. B does not, and unless
she learns to play 1t she will stay for
ever outside of society-that society

to the gold fields, travelling all alone,

perseverance and self-sacrifice of which
one hears in infinite variety, that of
this pretty nineteen-year-o Argonaut
stands out in golden letters. If Miss
Lassarge does not think herself a he

here who do. She has set an example
that many a man would hesitate to
follow.

Times had been hard in the East, and
the mother, widow, saw no apparent
escape from the slough of despond in
to which she was steadily sinking.
Like many others, she looked to the
West and, gathering her little possess
sions together, started to make a new
home there.
But In Tacoma the mother found 1t
impossible to make both ends meet,
and so 1t became necessary, a year
Or two after her arrival, to place a
mortgage on the little cottage which
she had bought with the money still
remaining, in order that she and her
young daughter might keep the wolf

he mortgage falls due.

She has come to save her mothers
home. She hopes to be able to lift the
mortgage from the little Tacoma cot

possess riches, but rather to insure to
her mother the comforts she seems de-

nerve is not appreciated, and nerve on
