 The first girl was talented. clever. bright capable and pretty.
 There was no reason why she shouldn't succeed, yet compared to the vivid girl who worked beside her she was colorless, cold. unattractive, and nobody would look at her a second time in her dismal togs and homely get-up.
 But for Kate, with "a pink rose in her hat, and pink rose in her manner' -there she stood for the eternal femin- ine-the charm of June garden.
 As a veteran newspaper man said to me, when I was telling him the story the other day:

 When they put their wares on the market one of them sold absolutely none of her writings. while the other soid every story that she carried to the editors-triumphant, happy.
 Finally the one who wasn't getting on met friend here in the big city and laid bare her troubles concerning a literary career in New York.

 H woman to friend of mine the oener day in a crowd of spend -the- oayers." You've always seemed to be aole to do anything you want to do es- pseiaily IS this true in the matter of managing your husband, and yet you never wait on him; never pet him or spoil him; I've heard him say he never mas any buttons on his clothes, and yet ne's your slave.'
 My dear, there is nothing at all mar ious aoout the way I manage Jack" @ the other woman laughingiy said.
 our trouble has always been that YOU oo not consider things that you do; they are not premeditated and all mine are ne iact that man happen< co be your nuspand doesn't make him different rom any other man. When 1 want Jack to do anything for me, I first put aside the kimono, the negligee that ne so abhors; l put on my best clothes;

Thomas A. Edison is not the only
man with a vision who has recently
spoken in cheerful prophecy concern
ing labor in America. Mr.. Edison has
been called a conservative. Other nell
Of more radical view are not less con-
fident of advance, and Labor day this
year acquires a high significance as an
occasion for confident, constructive,
rallying cries. What the coming year
may bring forth as to the vexed mat
ter of industrial democracy no one
may now surely foretell, but even the
most reticent or r%eactionary of OBJ
servers have seemed ready to believe
that extraordinary changes may occur.
Instances of broadly conceived expert
ments are already giving occasion for
speculation.
But aside from the vital and far
reaching question of organization or
cooperation, the answer to which are
not without presumption to be pre-
dicted, the outstanding fact of the
hour is the worlds growing recogni-
ton of labor's relationship to all that
is implied by the significant word Re-
construction. REIMBURSEMENT might be
a word of equal significance. 1t has
been said again and again in varying
that labor must reconstruct the
world, and in that reconstruction, be
cause the United States must play so
important a part, American labor u
assume immense responsibilities.
