based on the brutal concentra-

fish accumulation. Women would
work for distribution. There is

THE BAD GOOD PEOPLE

Perhaps it is right for an ex-
emplary female person to re-
mind her happy, light-hearted
little sister that she has toe
much powder on her nose, OF
that she shouldn't wear pumps
in an office and expose he1
ankles, or that if she smiles q
good morning to a married man
on the street she is compromis-
ing herself and will be Judged
a Delilah. Perhaps it is WON.
anly duty to judge her sisters
in this way and do all she car
with a sanctimonious, long face
to keep them in the straight anc
narrow path, but whenever | see
one doing it / always think of q
little story Margaret Delano
wrote about the badness of good
people and the goodness of bad
people. These self-righteous ED
err sisters never see that the
frivolous, worldly girls they aim
to set right may have solved
more of the mystery of life than
they, may have kinder hearts
and more sincere virtues under
the paint Of the cheek and the
low-cut blouse. g
These sisters keepers" are
all miniature reformers in their
way and their way is to believe
they are right always, and who
ever doesn't agree with them is
wrong. They always would like
to add, well make you see
things our way just to save your
SOUL"
| say, let the little sister alone
she will come out all sight,
Just as soon if left to learn life
for herself as she will under the
thumb of the sisterly keeper.
For the bad will always have
good spots and the good people
bad spots, and the bad ones with
the good spots usually make
more likable and kindlier people
than the good ones with the bad
spots.
The women have known who
felt they must be their sisters

unsvmpathetic and obstinate ia
