WILLING WORKERS.

Society women, stately dowagers and bobbed-
haired debutantes ran the big Hotel Btmore in
New York for one day last week-aud turned the
profits Of the day TO charity.
Girls whose most serious effort in life up to that
day had been the selection 81 the proper hats acted
Mattresses.
Women who had forgotten the word kitchen since
their husbands grew rich. found that they could
really cook
The young married women who never noticed the
OF the operator OF elevator what they
called the lifts" for that day.
They enjoyed it, so the New York papers wrote
and even liked the sensation Of going to bed really
tired
Mistaken as they often are. the great metropol-
itan dailes said that these women worked" for
day.
The things that they did, the service they per-
formed, work for those regularly employed.
For them It a diversion a new form Of fxer-
else, pleasure because it contributed things
they interested in, which was a fund for un-
fortuntes
The habits and traditions of the circle in which
they do list acting as mattresses or cook
ing in kitchens work Of distinction. They rather
eespise this form of mental No women in that
circle ever gets notch higher by being known
the best cook the most pleasant waitress Larger
diamonds a type of entertainment shows her
much farther up the ladder
Had society, in its development, taken different
basis of values wherein service was the first test
these women who rule by power Of money or
Of birth. would have been most carefully trained
to domestic duties and the social leader among
women would be the who could cook the dain-
TEST Of foods
1t so happened that tradition took the different
slant wherein premium placed upon dIeness
and the ability to employ others do what is called
worl1-whch is largely the reason that it is work.
Work becomes toll when it is distasteful and
compulsory. It is work all when it is done
with enthusiasm and with a purpose
It loses its drudgery when it is done with whole
heart
The world needs service on farms, in hotels in
factories and in stores. The solution of securing
people to do it with the same enthusiasm and will
lngness with which these social leaders ran the
hotel for day is to get different view on life.
y man who regards his work as a job always has
job. If he looks at it a vocation and gets a
thrill from of accomplishment he will
duplicate the emotions of these women who tried
it as experiment
Transplanted to a desert island, the real social
leader among women would not be the one with
diamonds but she who could prepare food or per
haps gather it,
Some day perhaps. women anu men will change
their views of life drastcally as to crown those
who serve because they perfer to do it, rather THAI
those who labor because they can escape it,
