A college graduate writes q com
pladnt Of the public taste and bewails
his fate because Of it. He says he has
spent eight years in preparation since
ne left the public schools but no one
Is seeking his services. His only chance
is to begin as day laborer or as
clerk. At the same time he knows a
young man who quit the common
schools In the sixth grade who makes
$40 day by diving twice daily from
the top Of sixty foot ladder into
tank. Sure. The public Is not inter

A Fair. snare Of the frictions Of

A fair share OF the frictions Of do
nestle life comes from the effort to
make over temperamental peculiari-
ties. The tortoise instructs the hare
In persistence, the hare lectures the
tortoise on speed, and each irritates
the other without good result. The
mother wisher her daughter to love
reading; the daughter prefers sewing
The father urges his son to follow the
law; the son Is more interested in the
chemistry Of soils than in writs and
forts. Family heartaches and disap-
pointments ensue from mere honest
difference In taste Ben Jonson found
fault with Shakespeare because it was
said Of him that in his writing, what
soever he penned, he never blotted out
a line. Said Jonson, Would he had
blotted a thousandr But Shakespeare
lives very prosperously without the
blots, and the world cares little for
Jonson's devout wish, and has forgot
ten much Of his work. On the other
hand, to have hindered Pope from his
painstaking correction and revision
would have been to cheat the world of
many Of its household words. So it is
the wise mother and the patient
daughter who accept the great funda-
mental fact that In character and abil-
ity there are diversities Of gifts. The

called "a queen he is inclined to think that the
