ITS no use. sighed the industrious
girl as she looked up from a stocking
she was trying to darn. None of my
theories work for more than week"
What's wrong now?" inquired the
one stunning member Of the crowd.
Have You turned the other cheek
once too often. or what?"
"Oh, dear me. nc" replied the in-
dustrious girl. "You know gave that
up long ago. But told you. didn't I.
that my brother is married2 Well,
you know I've always believed in
woman in womans sphere and all
that sort Of thing, and Il doesn't work
at all
He married a girl just out Of
school-nice pretty girl, fresh and
\ charming and all that Could cook
some. and play, too. Well. sometimes
he can't get home when he says he
will. and then she goes about looking
like a small sized thunder cloud and
tries to stir up things generally, /
don't believe il is the fault Of any
thing except that she never was down
town herself and so doesn't know
what things are Liable to turn up"
The Industrious one gave her needle

rest to see If they agreed with her.
Well, my dear" drawled the fam
lily peacemaker, "yoy4 see how good II
is for you to have had this expert
ence. Now, II your brother had mar
ried girl like one Of US. for instance
girls who for a good while have
been supporting ourselves mere or
less--he probably would feel that he
had acquired chum, and a good
one, too. but he'd miss the freshness
that the other girl has
Il don't know single girl who has
worked downtown who isn't more con-
siderate Of the man she marries than

town Of course we lose lot of the
gloss and all that, but we get some
thing which has higher value, hon
estly believe
Now, take me for instance Here
H rye been working for ten years or So
and last year met young girl from
the south. don't believe she ever did
thing for herself in her life. at least
not In the way of making money; but
she was sweet and gentle, like all
southerners. and could make perfect
~ delicious gowns and could play q
littIe, aud everybody liked her
+ All the men she met thought she
was fetching, and she was. thought
so. too, but felt like battered old
war horse beside her | looked at
everything 50 differently
Things that bothered her nearly to
death / didn't even notice, and man
just a mere man-didn't mean any
thing more to me than q girl would.
You understand that when you are
with them all day you get sort OF
used to them
This was added In rather apologet.

that the stunning girl, though she.
too, sees men every day, still takes a
somewhat violent interest III them, at
least in certain ones, and no dis
paraging remarks ar's allowed
"But to come back to the original
remark Of yours, went on the peace
maker. Il think you are nearly right.
Not that I want to puff you up, you
know, but / don't believe a girl ap-
preciates a home and all it means un-
til she has been away from It. Ever
since Mother Eve puttered around the
garden and found the tree, girls have
wanted to putter too, and you can't
putter when you work downtown. Be

"As for me and my house" declared
the peacemaker, firmly. we would
