Two Girls.


Does it pay to have good sense
In an Atchison family there are two
girls. One of the girls insists upon
taking music lessons, which the fam
ily finds very hard to pay for. She
devotes her entire time to her mu-
sic and never lifts her hand to do
stitch of sewing. The family says,
"Jennie is so ambitious" The other
daughter will not take music lessons
or study art. She puts up preserves,
does the housework and all her own
sewing and is a fine cook. The fam
ily says: 'EPoor Lizzie. It is too bad
she has not Jennie's ambition.'-
