The gage by which worldly prosper

ter what standard is used so long as it
shows accurately the amount of gain

II remember Bill Gassett as a shift

old home after many years absence,

HE made choice Of an excellent

thoughtfully, land what's more, she

STEPPING OUT SASSY"

First Step Toward Success La PropeE
Se1f-Confideuceo
For generations the Randolph Jeffer-
sons had been celebra ted for the beau
ty and charm of their women. Betty
Jefferson had been declared the most
beautiful woman at the Governors ball,
and Betty's daughter had been the
belle Of three counties, and Betty's
granddaughter - three of them at
least-claimed the family reputation as
matter Of course. The fourth one,
Virginia, was different She was plain
and shy and awkward. The Jeffersons
always looked puzzled when they
thought Of her-a homely Jefferson
was such a strange misf1t.
So Virginia lived her shy, lonely life,
an alien among her own people. Yet
she was not quite alone either. One
friend she had, old Aunt Charlotte,
who fought desperately to make the
girl conquer her fate instead Of yield
ing to it.
'Tain't yo' 'pearance, Miss Fagin-
n.y." she urged, day in and day out;
hits jes' cause yo' lows things ter
tromple on yo'. Hor up yo' haid,
honey, an step out sassy. OATH fotch
'em ev'ry time"
While Virginia was still a young girl
the war swept over the South. For a
few years the family contrived to keep
together, but at last it was necessary
for them to separate, and Virginia
went to cousins In Philadelphia, who
were confident that they Gould help her
to music pupils. The weeks that fol-
lowed were crowded with agony for
the homesick girl. II she had been
shy at home, she was thousand times
worse facing strangers. 1t was not
strange that only failure followed her
efforts.
One day she went to see a Mrs. Dens-
more, who had three little daughters,
! for whom she wanted music teacher.
For various reasons Virginia really
hoped for success there, but the result
was the usual polite regret. The girls
eyes filled with tears, and she bowed
silently; then suddenly, to the lady's
surprise, she began to laugh nervous
ly.
"I-I beg your pardon" she STAN
mered, meeting the look in the others
face. II was just thinking of the ad-
vice of my old nanny at home
'Hor up yo' haid an step out sassy l
suppose ought to have thought of
that at first"
To Virginia's amazement, Mrs. Dens,
more turned and motioned her back To
her seat.
"If you don't mind, Miss J, erson,"
she said, I'VE will talk this over a lit.
tie more. To tell you the truth, it was
your evident lack of self-confdence
that made me distrust your ability to
teach; but IL you can step out sassy -
and ten minutes later Virginia left
with her first pupils secured.
Many years after she told the story
