No weed that grows, 1t matters not how hum- ble or despised, that hasn't some place in the scheme of things for something. The same is true of every man, woman and child on the face of the globe. Each may do something to make a living. Money isn't anything except value that represents something we want, any way"
 That's true" Mrs. Moneyless agreed. Dollars aren't worth anything but what we can buy with them"

Mrs. Pride told me the other day that once upon time 25 cents represented to her Messenger Boy, getting a note to her beloved Jack, but now since she has married Jack that same amount represents to her a bunch of Asparagus or two heads of Lettuce for Salad for lunch or dinner. Once $5 represented to this same girl a pair of satin slippers, while now 1t rep pesents bargain sewing table, or dozen new linen napkins. For myself, $10 once represented the price of an Irish Lace Collar, or a beautiful parasol but since I've started to work it stands for-7well, say three days work at least. and three days work means that much more toward a house andf lot I'm buying out in the suburbs"
