very seldom do as I cannot afford to

is not so unpopular as she thinks. Were
she to meet with trouble or reverseS OF
any kind I believe she would find that
she had a host Of friends who would
come to her aid. People are so rushed
nowadays that they fail to do the little
thoughtful things that mean so much to
a lonely young girl winning her way in
the world. But when big trouble comes
along, they are quick TO offer sympathy
and help, which shows the girl really has
0 warm place IN their hearts.
But. for the sake of the argument,
suppose we admit as true all that this
girl writes about herself. What, then,
is the matter. and what can she do to
remedy this state of affairs?
Perhaps she does not show in the most
tactful way her kindness toward Others
and her desire to win friends. I knew

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIEW.

I have often wondered why men and
women with money or power did not
undertake the task Of taking blind men
from the streets and making them happy
by giving them bodily comfort and the
means of earning a living. have seen
few OF them on street corners IN all
kinds Of weather, pathetic figures with
bundles of pencils or newspapers which
the hurried public scarcely saw. We
have to be halted IN our rush for trains
and trolleys and have wares thrust into
our faces before we take much notice OF
little things, and blind people are never
obtrusive.
A few States take proper care Of I'M
fortunate resldents-it is a duty all
States should recognize. There seems to
be plenty of money TO maintain chart
table organizations, and very little TO
| aid men and women to self-support
There are more than a few trades which
blind men and women can easily learn
| If they can be housed, fed, and clothed
while education IS going on. and IT IS
| surprising that money has not been do
mated for the work inasmuch as educa-
ton seems TO be the first thought OF
those who have money 10 leave behind
when death calls.
What better memorial could there be
than an endowed home and school for
blind adults In every State? There may
be a few In the world. but the need for
more is imperative Those who have en-
ployment in which they are interested
are usually fairly contented, and IL TO
that is added the independence which
comes from self-support life is something
to enjoy even without eyesight.
There are so many ways in which 10
earn money. even after misfortune comes.
They may not be preferred ways. but
they offer the means OF a livelihood. dis
tract the mind and Ill in the time. and
that is nearly all that any employment
