The little stenographer surveyed the
crowd that was surging round her
with a critical air.
THE same everywhere" she re-
marked. There are always buttons
lacking on coats and gloves, skirts that
drop at the back and boots run down
az the heel. notice ii everywhere
go, and even the appearance of gold
chains and expensive furs cannot take
away the suggestion OF poverty given
by lack Of care in these details. Now,
II those girls would only look after
their clothes before they retire at
night, now much better dressed they
would appear, and how much longer
their things would last"
WELL" said the bookkeeper, 81 see
something more important TO regret
Have you ever noticed the faces of the
women passengers in the street cars
mornings and evenings? At least one
half have. a tired, worried look, and
when one does happen on a girl whose
expression is pleasant, what relief It
it, 1t is not always those who have
most reason to be miserable that 60
about with a melancholy face. No.
the happiest looking girl l ever knew
was one who had to support bed
ridden father, and FIVE little brothers
and sisters, while another girl In her
department was cross. sour faced and
disagreeable person. though she had a
comfortable home and only worked for
pin money.
Indeed" she continued emphati-
charm is a placid, pleasing counten-
ance. Most of them are able to keep
up appearances IL their shoes pinch or
an unruly pin is making it's presence
felt, but are unable to control their

irritability Of girls is due to neglect
of their health. They rush out at meal
hour and swallow a charlotte russo or
chocolate sundae instead OF getting
soup, sandwiches or some other kind OF
good food which could be had for a
similar amount. Small wonder, taen,
that after a time there comes a feeling
OF dizziness, a nervousness that rend-
ers them incapable OF steady work and
often results in complete breakdown"
Look at the girl sitting next the
far window" said the shop girl "She
always fiatters and gushes over every
one she meets and expects the same in
return. Also she never misses an OPP
portunity to roast ner acquaintance
the minute they have left her COM
pany. always feel that when am
absent she takes me to pieces in the
same way, though to my face she is as
friendly as possible"
"I don't think that that Is altogether
feminine falling, though" said the
little stenographer. 1--WE all know the
man who will chum with another man,
but will not scruple to hold him up to
the ridicule of his feminine acquaint-
ances. This class OF man is just as
general and quite as Objectionable as
the class Of women already condemn
ed"
Hard to Please Everyone.
cit is hard for a woman to live so
as to please everyone" said the book
keeper. mot long ago there was a
clergyman declaiming against women
for their lack of desire for education.
Ten or twenty years ago IT was con-
sidered the height OF improperly for
a woman to want to know anything but
housekeeping combined with the three
RS and little poetry The sex had a
hard struggle to attain higher educa-
ton and In these present days come
