In the boarding house IN which lived
for two years previous to my marriage there
lived q girl who worked in . neiEhboring

good salary. Her working hours were the
fame as mine Our rooms were almost ident-
ical in size and in the furnishings provided
by the house. She complained continually
about the unpleasantness Of her room. And

with unstghtly calendars. unframed photo

quickly enough after a visit to hers. One
evening she was complaining bitterly about
the lot Of the girl who boards-particu-
lariy bemoaning the fact that she had
no place to entsrtain outside Of the over
crowded public parlor. With paper and pad
showed her in dollars and cents how easily
she could transform her room from the un-
inviting. tnt4dy bedroom into an attractive
living room. I showed her that my expendi-
ture had meant just q few sacrifices for
candy and for frills and furbelows. that
were amply repaid in the CHEEKY welcome
sung out to me in dainty. bright colored
cretonne curtains and pillows, and the
friendly book and CHEEKY picture. But my
missionary work was lost on her She said
she simply could not afford 1t. and added:
What's the use I'm only in in the evening,
anyway The next evening she came rush
