BY ANN Isle.


There was once a widow who had three
daughters. The mother does not count in
this story so having politely mentioned
her first OF all. ~e may dismiss her and
consider the daughters
At the moment when our attention is
directed to them first, Ella. the eldest,
is % and looks 1t, quite IN disaccord with
a modern woman's way Of managing her
years. 80 that at least five of them shall
not be in evidence. The twins, Molly and
Polly. are 90. look sixteen, and have the
worldly wisdom OF a very worldly 80.
The family income couldn't by any eff
fort be stretched TO buy three girls pretty
clothes and take them into society. So
Molly and Polly worked out their con-
clusion SO wisely that the widow was
all enthusiasm. and poor Ella acquiesced
perforee. The idea was this;
Ella. who couldn't conceivably be a
social success. since she had neither face
and figure. nor manner and charm to
compass IT, should prepare herself for a
seeretarial position and so down into the
business world where she should surely
make money and might also make hit
with some men who liked the idea OF a
wife with ability better than ability to
love his wife.
Clause two Of the plan said that Molly
and Polly. with the concentrated family
income and whatever largess Ella chose
to distribute. should go about hunting
for Prince CharInings.
Said Molly: "of course. II We marry
well wen take care OF you, Cinderella,
and II we don't youll be able to take
care OF yourself"
And US. too maybe" giggled Polly.
At the end Of the year Ella was earn
ing S25 a week. and Molly had married
herself off to youth whose father had
left him $4,000 year. At the end Of two
years Ella had an increase Of $40 a week
in her salary. Molly had twins and Polly
had a husband. So everybody was more
or less happy.
BY the time Ella was 30 she commanded
a salary OF 5000 a year and the respect
