anyhow. Let me tell you right here
that a furnished room house is no way
for a girl to live"
So far, then, the matrimonially-
minded girl of business-and few are
not-has shown herself In a promising
light. But when we turn from her
sweet, sound views Of marriage in the
abstract and consider c%oncretely the
sort of young person whom she would
like to meet at the altar-or the par
lor mantel-piece as the case may be-
we begin to glimpse the defects of her
qualities. Perhaps, also, we learn to
appreciate more the qualities of the
factory girls defciently youthful view
point.
If beauty is indeed only skin-deep,
as some says, then two-thirds Of ell
business girls do not look far beneath
the epidermis.
The business girl, in describing her
ideal of masculine beauty, nearly a.
ways gives you the tall, very dask,
preternaturally square-jawed hero OF
her favorite author, George Barr MI.
Cutcheon. Not long ago / was telling
a friend of this and he raised the
question whether she dotted on this
type because McCutcheon. had brought
him to her attention, or whether MI.
McCutcheon, with his a to the
ground, had manufactured this par
ticular hero because he was just the
kind his readers dotted on.
At any rate, good looks go" vers
decidedly with the business girl, and
she would like her hero to dress the
part, too. Here she flashes forth In
violent contrast to the four out of five
factory girls who fear sporty" dress
ers as marriage possibilities.

Jeweler-Entirely wrong, my friend.
A pawnbroker might not lend you
quite the actual value of your jewelry,
but he will lend himself a great deal
more than the article is worth, and
then give the ticket to a friend to ad-
vertise for sale. Do you catch the
drift of what l mean?
The pawn-ticket bargain hunter be-
gins to see a great light, but he Is not
satisfied until he has paid at least
three jewellers one dollar each to tell
him that he has been robbed.
The crooked p%awnbroker simply
takes a ring out of stoch. puts it up In
a package and pins on it a ticket with
q fake name, indicating that on a
certain day the ring has been pledged
for $3.50.
The Duplicate ticket is turned over
to the confederate, who then inserts
an advertisement in an evening news
paper which reads as follows:

knows well enough they are too shrewd
to lend $3.50 on 9 ring unless it is
worth considerably more than that

with NEEDY" and takes a look at the

IN fact, he will take almost anything

On the rare occasions when Uncle

always expected tips, and concluded
her remarks by saying that there were
probably more which she could not

SAFE TO PUT 1T WHERE 1T WILL
DO NO WRONG.
Security and Profit Usually the Things
Considered, But Others Are
Important.

It is a rare thing to find a block OF
money, say of the size of a million OF
dollars. that has not a soul in the CEN
ter. Hid away in the vast pile OF the
corporation is the laborer's sacred
isavngs that he invested, a thousand
dollars, or the patient widows mite OF
a hundred, or the little child's handful
of pennies, ten or fifteen dollars, says
Rev. Emory ]. Haynes. These are the
soul of the million. They stand for
prayers and tears, for sacrifice and
trembling hope, for the shield Of age
and the child's schooling.
AS old Sodom was to have been
saved for even the sake of five
righteous men If found there, so the
million dollars Is safe-guarded by a
lust ruler of all the earth for the sake
of the good dollars that make its soul.
Perhaps the fact cannot be always
proved. But 1t would be easy to prove
that conscience should have something
to say about where to invest our mon
ey. Nor is the smart investor respon-
sible for the wickedness of the great
corporation which he cannot prevent.
Nor is the honest small investor ex-
cused from all thought about his In
vested dollars morals.
In a life-plan of the highest order
the purpose that an investment is to
serve surely has its place, to serve and
not to injure mankind. 1t is possible
to choose. Certainly 1t is possible to
judge the characters of the men who
are managing the great corporation.
1t Is not a generally accepted truth
among young men that they could bet
ter manage their savings themselves,
as a rule. But surely the discipline of
planning, the sense of responsibility
and the strength of mind which make
the growing man come with personal
care of his surplus. Plan to found your
own business. Fortune Is not a slot
machine run by corporation directors.
If you yourself are both the corpora
ton and the investor you can certainly
manage the morals of the concern.
There is no place where conscience
can play a larger part than in the in
vestment a young man makes. Yet 1t
is to be feared that security and profit
are the most general motives. But for
