REAL ROMANCEs OF THE BUSINESS VIC

pretty suburb of a big Northern
city. She had two small dsugh-
tiers, far more attractive even than
the wonderful collection of dolls
she had had in her childhood; a
collection which she still kept neat
ly ranged in the attic and brought
out on occasion to exhibit to her
friends.
Then trouble began to come to
the young woman. Her mother
died, and few years later, her
father failed in business and lost
all his money. Then her husband
was injured in an automobile acci-
dent and, after many months of
helplessness, died.
So, within FIVE years after her
marriage, young Mrs. Cross had
to face the world penniless and
alone.
She was not prepared to take
care of herself. As a child, she
had loved dolls far more than
books, and since her marriage she
had loved her babies far more than
any interests outside her home.
So when she was left to care for
herself and babies Mrs. Cross
found herself singularly unpre-
pared for the necessity. Through
out her husbands illness she had
been too pre-occupied to think
much of the future. His small
savings had gradually disappeared
under stress of specialists fees and
nurses wages. Even if she had
not been pre-occupied she could
not have saved money at that time.
But when it was all over she found
herself in possession of two charm
ing babies, an attractive house,
fully paid for, its furnishings, her
collection of dolls, and nothing
more.
Unused as she was to shifting
for herself, Mrs. Cross had in her
he making of a successful busi-
less woman. For she had the first
7equisite for success in business
to succeed.
First, she rented her house, and
inally she sold it at a good price.
She took "a small apartment in
which she'could do all the work,
