husband. 1t was this way: Miss Anna
Pinch, on the staff Of metropolitan
journal, grew tired Of the ceaseless
round Of reporting womens clubs and
philanthropic projects. Said she to her
colleague, Miss Conley;
I'm tired Of this. Let's go abroad"
Let's" assented Miss Conley, "but
howl"
Miss Pinch pondered; lat, being a
journalist, she is a person Of resources,
and said:
"WeIl write our way around the
world"
And they did-almost. After many
trials and tribulations, during which
the checks for special articles ordered
by friendly editors did not arrive and
the young ladies were compelled TO act
as cooks. stewardesses, schoolteachers,
lnderstudies for missionaries, etc, they
reached Picking. The checks had arrlv-
ed at Picking before them. and they
made their entree TO legation society in
great style. 1t was there Miss Pinch
met Lieutenant Dworak, United States
army. Miss Pinch is now Mrs. Lieu
tenant Dworak, and the tour Of the
world is deferred until the young OIL
GER can make it with his bride. Good
luck has come to Miss Conley In the
shape of a rich married sister who has
taken a notion to see the world and
Will join her in Picking. Thus It will be
seen that 1t doesn't always pay to stick
to one little niche in the world.

It is unfortunate that so many ex-

be lacking in tact. Tact often saves "A

The modern church is noted for its
practical charities. The Rev. II. NJ.

Chicago the question Of suitable lodg-
ings for working women is perhaps a
more difficult matter than anywhere
else in the country. Many so called
lodging houses are mere traps for in
weighing the unwary working girl to
destruction. The Young Women's
Christian association and some SINH
lar organizations have agencies that
recommend lodgings. but most OF the
rooms on their list are beyond the
/. means Of the more moderately paid
girls. A number Of semiphilanthropic
institutions accommodate working wo-
men, but the cheaper ones have toe
} much the manner of a charity to suit
the independent American girl.
