Why, then, should the domestic woman not be
as happy in her work and bring the same philos-
ophy to bear on 1t that the business woman does
to hers? Simply because the domestic woman
lives shut up in such little space that she has
lost her perspective. She has become unable to
see the true value OF life and to Judge things at
their proper worth She's gone loco. as they say

And that this is true is proven by the fact that

days, never could quite take Robert Louis

The little girl was born on the last day OF
leap year and her birthday only once every
four years. Stevenson agreed with her that this
was hard luck; every little girl was entitled to
have birthday and nice party with many gifts
every year. And the little girl agreed with
Stevenson. SO the author changed birthdays;
he took the little girls birthday and in exchange
gave her his. the sixteenth OF october, as re-

circles was not expected when they
came to Broadway to tinkle their
