How the dun-colorsd httls lady
would have stared At our nsvfound
friend.
What's the use Of being healthy
and good-looking." she would ask. IF
the man you had loved for years is
not around to admire you!
And what IL the use Of being thank
ful for Just . mother. Every one has
. mother-and then this woman mus,
support her mother from her slender
earnings. That looks more like . cause
for worry than for thAnks.
Then one deserves NO credit for b.
ing out of debt when you have so
small an income that you do not dare
have anything charged"
Dun-colored little ladies always have
their own arguments with which TO
fight any unruly feelings Of thanks
giving and happiness.

particularly fortunate. according to
the light Of An Englishman. who has
been studying sociological conditions

behaved young women. He said TO
his host:

Do they buy and sell stocks?"
His host smiled.
mot at all They are our stenozra-

All" said the bewildered English
man, "but-er-they look 80 Ike Ia

Yes, We have reached the point
where We may work for our living and
still be regarded as ladies in the
broadest sense Of the word.
Breadwinning Is today a badge OF
honor. and the woman who earns her
own living is not a social outcast So
much snobbery has America lost
through the womanliness and intelH-
gence of its business girls.
So much have the little dun-colored
ladies to be grateful for-indepen-
dence, and honor and happiness in In
dependence. If only they will follow
the girls who have learned to walk on
the sunny side Of LIES broad street.
AL happiness is comparative. AL
causes for Thanksgiving are com para
tive. Do not look towards those who
are better on than yourself when you
are counting your beads of gratitude.
Look rather on the state of those who
may well envy you-and then give
thanks.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
