Hath opened not the door.
A poor seamstress who works hard
and whose daughter is in department
store said to me the other day: Il
promised to give my girl birthday
present. That day rolls around soon.
Now what do you suppose she wants
me to give her? You never in the
world could guess, so I'll tell you.
have been limiting to her that my poor
purse might allow her o nice, suitable
pair Of everyday shoes, that she could
go to work In and look decent instead
OF shabby, as. she does now. She
turned fepm me with dissatisfied look
and asked quickly: Mother won't you

such foolish request. and we poor
as church nicer soundly upbraided
her. coming out and telling her that
her mind must be affected. She must
imagine she was living in an air castle
of gold! Nothing l said daunted her
nor changed her longing in the least.
She became so downcast II worried me
night and day. Finally / saw my way
out OF the difficulty which my kind
heart had brought about. will give
my girl the money-three dollars
which will be her gift from me. She
will have perfect right to spend It as
she pleases. | will not bother my head
any more about it, I concluded"
The purse was empty when the
three dollars was left beside the alarm
clock on her table. For days after
never was a word spoken between
mother and daughter. after their hours
of toll, as to what was done with the
amount. The girl still wore shabby
shoes and shabbier dress. Her
cheeks were little paler, showing un-
mistakably that she had remained up
long past midnight. She was up at the
first streak OF dawn, long before others
were astir, and out Of the house,
threading her way on a mission Of
heart interest to her. She did not
mind the task of art nor the heavy
parcel she carried, which she put safe
| ly in her room. She had better ap-
petite than ever before, and 1t was
easy to see that a new ambition lent
buoyancy to the workers steps.
Circumstances were against her
when her mother upbraided the young
toiler for idling money and her time
away with paint boxes, which she had
at once bought and studied over In
doors and out.
Art became her calling. Her talent
was one of success, gift. She had
free rein to mold her future talents
despite her early hardships of being
kept back in tolls beaten track. Proud
was that poor mother that her girl had
made her own way in the world to for
tunes top round.
