GIRL SERVING BEEF AND
EXPRESSES SOME DOUBT

For Miss Helen Gould to disguise
herself as a waitress or a saleslady
for two weeks in order to learn what
real happiness is appeals to the work
ing girl as poor advice.

REV. Elmer V. Huffner, of the First
Christian Church, Grand Junction,
Col. who asserted in a sermon that
= ..oid maids should take to the woods
has supplemented his statement with
he remark that "if Miss Gould wants

yant, or clerk in a store, or work as
Va chambermaid, so long rs she earus

-rd Trade with Miss Gould"
Miss Gould may not be happy, but
ia take a nance of trading places
with her. said the waitress as she
laid down a plate of on the
marble-topped table.
e.Being married doesn't necessarily
mean being happy" she continued,
mot by a good ways. It's oftentimes
lust the other way. Lots of young
folks thai are thinking of getting
married are just flirting with unhap-
piness."

showed his glass over for another
glass of water,
sq"Oh, I don't think money guaran-
tees happiness, either, o know.
This life is mostly what we make it,
and that's all there is to it," said the
waitress.
How About salesladyshipe
AS for Miss Gould's acceptance of
the genial proffer of Rev. Mr.. Huffner
to engage herself as a saleslady, the
same doubt exists that she would
obtain real happiness there.
Miss Gould's place is right where
she is" said Miss Mary Doom, an en-
ployee of Bamberger's department
store.

other capacity than that of a great

to do more good and therefore to OBJ
tain more happiness than most mar
ried people, and certainly her life
shines out as one of greater peace and
unselfishness than those of her mar

sI Don't Believe in Old Maids, but"
II don't believe in old maids, but L
do believe that if a girl doesn't find
her right life partner, it is far better
that she remain single"
Miss Doom discredits the statement
that Miss Gould cannot be sure her
wealth would not attract suitors and
that az love match is impossible. "She
Is living the life that appeals most to
her, and the one that brings to her
the most happiness" a Miss Doom.
{GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, July IS.
/-Undaunted by the comment of Miss
Helen Gould upon his recent sermon
In which he asserted old maids
should be ISOLATED on a barren island
as a waste product, Rev. Elmer V.
Huffner, of the First Christian
Church. today insisted that old maids
are a detriment and a menace to So
ciety and advised Miss Gould to seek
a mate %incognito in the b~ackwoods.
'sMiss Gould Is a Noble Woman"
Miss Goud is a noble woman he
said. but her nobility would be
greatly enhanced were she married.

Gould what she should or should not

for humanity than any other bach

still do unlimited good. No woman
has done her duty to the world until
she has borne children.
Miss Gould is in a peculiar posi-
ton because Of her riches. She can
not be sure she is being wooed for
love alone, The only way to solve
this problem is for Miss Gould to ac-
cept a position in the backwoods
~fncognito. Here she might find the
right one, a righteous, Industrious
man who would love her for her true
self and o for wealth. Her riches
have handicapped her in the real
/ enjoyment of life, and I daresay she
is not as happy in her private car
with her maids as is my servant
girl.
eff Miss Gould wants two weeks
Of real enjoyment, two weeks of real
happiness, let her disguise herself as

living and lives on less than $40 Il
