old simplicities. We need great

We cannot get on in these days of

The work to be done is multiplied
a thousandfold and everybody must
take a hand. The situation resolves
itself into one of convenience. If each

no excuse for lazy man to complain
that an industrious woman has crowd

not pity herself. She must not spend

she had more money, an easier position,

body has so good a time as the person
who has work to do that is necessary
in the great scheme of things, and
that she thoroughly understands. Her
work may be obscure, but IL 1t is Well
done it counts for just as much as the
work of the greatest man or woman

The chief trouble is with some of US
that we are too ready to think of our
selves before we think of our work.
This is the most wasteful blunder that
can be made. Put the work first and
yourself second and make up your
mind that If you are taking wages

Here and there one finds a man or

almost any other use than that of

And this is the story of the long
siege, the candy, the final stratagem
and the battered 'front.'
1t all started one summer afternoon
when Hahn was strolling down Chest
nut street in Philadelphia. Hahn deals
in huge quantities of flour, and save for
its preoccupation was heart whole and
fancy free. Hahn, quite without
thinking, stopped outside the window
of candy store.
Inside stood Miss Elizabeth, brood
ing beautiful over the candy counter
Miss Elizabeth, when she had romped
with wisdom at Bryn Mawr. had never
thought that some day she would have
to sell candies. Misplaced confidence
in stock on the part OF her family had,
however, caused revolution. Miss
Eliza abeth called to her aid all the phil
osophy she had read, pitched in to help
and-sold candies.
Miss Elizabeth brooded over the
things that might have been. Certain

because she didn't know him.
Outside Hahn thought of -four He

stopped short.
Now over Miss Elizabeth's head
blinked an electric sign that one min
ute said TRY our fine bonbons,' and
the next minute said, "Our cream mints
arc fine" and then for five successive
minutes said five other things. Before
her stretched row after row of giddy
trays bearing candy. All around her
was the hum of stern commercialism.

Although 1T was early, they had been
at breakfast and were walking steadily
forward toward the Offices, shops and
factories where each had his and her
place. In that throng / noticed a great

were in pairs or groups. but all had the
Intent, eager appearance of those who
were straining toward a goal.
They had the advantage over the idle
rich OF being the busy poor. But they
did not look in the least as though
poverty were burden or a handicap
Most of them were comfortably dressed
with short skirts and Jackets, trim
little sailor hats and well shod feet
Their eyes were bright; they wore the
air Of those who had a pleasant day
before them. After all what is wealth
except a good deal of luggage to carry
on the road? What is poverty except
marching without too much weight to
cucumber ones steps? Nobody is poor
who can pay her way and save little
for the day of sickness or the day
when the works may shut down. No
body is rich who has more desires than
she has dollars to crafty them.
If one is poor girl who must work
the wise course for her is to try to
advance her own worth in the mar
ket. For example, one should not be
contented to be a mediocre saleswoman
or a slovenly stenographer or a mere
drudge who watches the clock to ascer-
tain when her day will end. so that she
may drop her work at the first stroke
that sets her fee Because one has not
much money there is no reason why
her work should be rated low in the
scale. A girl who is expert in what

morning.

Miss Elizabeth was wondering what
he wanted so much candy for.
Maybe he has a large family" said
she, and then felt quite sorry.
The next day the electric sign
blinked away again on both. Hahn had
prepared "a few specifications IN the
question line. He looked at Miss
Elizabeth and forgot them all. He
looked frantically up to the sign.

Hahn in an unexpected squirt of cour-
age.

Then began the siege of candy. Week
after week saw the millionaire under
the blinking sign. Sometimes he went
in every day, sometimes twice day
Sometimes he would grow angry and
wouldn't go in for two or three days
Whenever he visited Miss Elizabeth he
bought candy. You see, 1t was the
only excuse he had. Sometimes when
his divinity smiled at him he bought
pounds and pounds OF it. When she
frowned he bought pounds and pounds
too, because he couldn't think of any
thing else to do.
He consumed 1T himself. thinking

gave it to children until they wept,
not for joy but from stomach aches.
And he couldn't find single man,
woman or child to introduce him.
1t wasn't that Miss Elizabeth was in
different. She wasn't Only she hugged
her pride, her philosophy, her caution
to her breast. Besides she was still
mighty angry that she had to sell can
dies and so determined to keep right
on selling them. She talked TO the
other pretty Hummel girl about it,
thought it all over lots of times, some
times nsTly relented. In the mean
time her candy sales grew prodigious
through the millionaire, and his un-
popularity among his friends grew
apace
Hahn became desperate
Then one day in late spring comely
and jolly Mrs. John Shayne of Ger
mantown rolled down Chestnut street
in her auto. Hahn and Mrs. Shayne are
great friends. Hahn had his arms full
of candy and was coming from the
shrine of his divinity. Mrs. Shayne
hustled in. Something made Hahn turn
his head. There were Mrs. Shayne and
Miss Elizabeth laughing and talking
together quite like old friends. Hahn
went home thinking hard.

while goes to bed.

Miss Elizabeth confides that same
night to the other pretty girl that Mrs
Shayne is going to take her out motor
ing the next day in the park.
The drive below Gorgas lane was
very beautiful the next afternoon. On
one side the road slopes down to the
