''Let us be hopeful, Lily. You are

Lily made as If she would say some
thing really severe, but she refrained.
"Well," she said, mildly, tomorrow
you will begin the round. only hope"
she said this as one who has no

Then the other residents began to
come upstairs, and Lily retired to her
own cubicle, and they all went to bed.
Would you follow these two girls in
their quest Of work and bread?
1t was a hopeless quest, because the
things that they would do were so few,
and there were already SO many girls
to do them, and they had no friends or
private interest All that Katharine
could do well was to undertake the
teaching and care of young children, or
of those girls with parents to whom the
curriculum Of the high school does not
appeal. She could bring to her task, as
she had done with the Emptage chill
dren, affection and care such as one
hardly has a right to expect for ten
times the salary. Alas! she found that
for one place there were fifty candi-
dates. And like Lily, she was always
too late.
