A Practical Illustration,

Out of her five per Maggie Ira
cy scraped and saved enough to
make it possible to spend a few
days of her vacation at Jayville,
where she could enjoy the invig-
Grating ozone of the country and
where the vocal sounds made by
the pigs in the pen were music to
her and the gambolings of lambs
in the pasture rested her tired
eyes.
Nearby were the agricultural
preserves of RUDE Laffy, a thrifty
young farmer who boosted of his
cabbages. He was attracted to the
city girl and she saw in him
qualities of sterling worth. So one
sultry afternoon meath the old
no, 1t was an elm tree-they
plighted their troth and talked
blithely of the future in which
there was not to be single cloud.
AS Maggie stepped on the train

heat and turmoil of town and

cry of "cash" was forever heard

which the sun never shone, went

to: "Bless Our Home" hanging
on the wall, seemed to cry out in
mockery. Jangling voices of 9th.
er dodgers vibrated through the
| damp-smelling corridors, and from
the kitchen came the odor of tripe
and onions. In the hall room di.
rectly over Maggie's quarters lived
the tragedian, who madly made
love to the shopgirl whenever he
could. In the solitude of his apart
ment he often communed with the
tragic muse, ranting for hours. He
Frequently sought the girls soci-
ETY., and in her loneliness she had
mildly tolerated him, even IL he
did persist in numbering the class
ic sonets of the bard before her
very eyes. But since her return
from Jayville she avoided him.
Letters she received from Rube-
they were rudely scrawled, but
breathed honest affection-and
Maggie was happy. Out of her
five per she skimped to buy a new
dress. RUDE must see her at her
best and to retrench her living ex-
penses she often skipped a meal.
The day of her lovers promised

for him in vain. Wondering IL he
had forsaken her, she couldn't

flights up the tragedian, HIS

tragic air:
