Dignity of Woman's Work

NNE of the saddest sights among women who work
~ for living is the woman who is ashamed of her
work. There who succeed in con-
cealing entirely from most of their friends that they
ever do anything which brings them an honest dollar
and there are others who continually explaining
that it is not necessary for them work at ALL They
do it for the experience, for the atmosphere of the hur
ried life possibly for the sake of little uxuries
that they could not have otherwise. Explanations are
always futile Most people who work at routine work
do it for money, and cares what they do with
the money fifth honestly earned. The whotries
to hide from her friends the fact that she works even
more foolish. No right minded person thinks any the
less of woman who turns her talent and ability into
dollars and cents, and all people, thorough BREEDS and
snobs alike, despse the man woman who works and
is ashamed Of The very fact that one has the ability
to make living when it is necessary, is something Of
which to be proud, and if has these talents and
puts them to use, well, there is very old story
of who buried his talent in napkin, and public
opinion has not changed much since that story was
