Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1913-02-23

Virginia Delaware should grow up tall,
dignified. beautiful, composed, self
restraining. kindly. gracious; these be
Ing qualities which In her training
were accepted as properly pertaining
and belonging to all aristocrats We
have already seen that, put to the test,
in the midst OF our best aristocrats-
those who frequent the most highly
gilded and glazed hotels in New York
she was accepted unhesltatingly as
OF the charmed circle, even BY the
head walters. Had you yourself seen
her upon the Chicago streets, passing
to her daily occupation, you also in
all likelihood would have commented
upon her as a rich young woman, and
one Of birth, breeding and beauty. We
have spoken somewhat regarding the
futility OF notices and maxims in the
case of an ambitious man AS much
might be said regarding their lack Of
applicability to the needs of an amhi-
tious woman. Virginia Delaware
would have made her own maxims,
had she needed any: and had she been
obliged to choose q coat OF arms, she
surely would have selected the Chris.

The best aid in any ambition lies in
the intensity of that ambition We all
are what we really desire TO be, each

will pay the price for it. In her gentle,
ness with her associates. in her dig
nifty and composure with her employ
er, in her conduct upon the street and
in the crowded car. in all situations
and conditions arising in her own life
Virginia Delaware diligently played
the part of lady as best she eOmpre
hended that; because she had the in
tense ambition TO be a lady. she con
tinually was in training. Moreover
she had that selfrestraint which has
been owned by every woman who ever
reached any high place in history She
kept herself in hand, and she aeld her
self not cheap. Likewise. after. the
fashion of all successful politicians
she cast aside acquaintance who
might be pleasant but who probably
would be of little use, and pinned. her
faith to those who promised to be OF
future value. Such a woman as that
can not be stopped-unless she shall

II there was calumny. Virginia Dare
needed II not. She accosted all gra
ciously and with dignity, as a lady
should. And all this time her great
personal beauty increased to such a

TO the verge of rage. To be beautiful
and aristocratic both assuredly is to
invite hatredl II is almost as bad as
to be rich. Mise Delaware allowed
hatred TO run its course unnoted. She
needed no maxims over her desk, re-
quired no ancestral coat of arms. She
was an aristocrat. and meant to be
accepted as such. In all likelihood
though simple folk may not read a
woman's mind-she saw further into
the future than did John Rawn him
self.
There remained, then, as against the
ambition Of Virginia Delaware. the one
pitfall of love, and even this she cas-
fly avoided. Beautiful as she unques-
tiOnably was. admired as she certainly
was, if there had been fire in this
girls heart for any man. she kept IT
either extinguished or we'll banked for
a later time. She had gently declined
the heart and hand of every male
clerk in the Office. She had chosen
her own ways, and was not to be d.
