A first clnss journeyman tailor who
Is both sensitive and ambitious must
hive more than his share Of sadness
and heartache. The completeness with
which he is ignored by those who are
made happy by his workmanship can
not fall to cause him mental agony.
The bosses know him and appreciate
his work. and so do his fellow crafts
men, but that Is all. Beyond them he
Is unknown, unthought of. His work
goes out into the world to delight and
to be admired, but 1t brings TO him
