brown-eyed maid knitting most dill
gently on a scarf for some Sammy

several friends. Her suit of Java

under the left arm with a big metal

in a quaint bow in front.
A handsome woman who holds high

with tails and toned in with a far

cross bands of sable on the crown.

oPPORTUNiTIEs UNFOLDING -
GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE
DEMANDS

On making a business call at the
American Woodmen Offices this week
we noted the faces Of three of Dem
ver's young men and ladies' who have
recently been given employment there.
One OF these is young man who is
working his way through the Denver
High School.
We wonder II the good people of
Denver realize the full Significance OF
the presence in our midst OF these
handsome. systematically conducted
business offices. To this young man.
for instance, the benefit that he de-
rives is not SO much in the salary he
shall receive, but in the wonderful in
spiration It should give him and the
higher ideals he should attain in at
tempting life's battle. He is given q
concrete illustration of some of the
real responsibilities held out to a col
ored man who will properly prepare
himself.
The wonderful work done by this
organization should be such an in
spiration to all Denverites. that the
camp here should number 1000 in
stead of 100. 1t would be an excellent
idea for our aspiring young men and
women of Denver to at least pay a
visit to these Offices for the sake OF
the inspiration 1t would give them for
greater effort.
