CHAPTER LXXIlI.
Margaret Continues to Worry Over
Joan's Friends.

In spite OF her amusement Mar
garet was a bit anxious because OF
the sort of people Joan seemed TO
select for her friends. There was
the episode with the married man. II
was true Joan had come out of that
with flying colors, but might not the
next man be more clever, sense
Joan's youngness, and yet see she
was different from many girls her
age?
You see, Joan" Margaret sa!d az
y result OF long reflection. married
men have no intention to be any
thing but true to their wives. But
they, all men, are like children and
want to be amused Then because
girls know they are married and
should be at home under their own
vine or fig tree, or should have their
wives with them, they have to make
IL long and elaborate explanation
about their wives not understanding
them-how lonely they are---and
how the particular young. girl 10
whom they have been talking is the
one girl inf all the world for them.
But II wifey comes along Just as
likely as not they won't even see the
girl. They will certainly try to avoid
speaking TO her and when they meet
again will boldly deny having seen
her."
But. Mumsie. the married men
are So Interesting"
II grant you that They have had
more practice than the boys. and
practice makes perfect you know.
There's one thing l personally dis
like in married men who run after
other women. They respect no one
neither the woman they have mar
ried. the woman they run after. nor
themselves"
why, Mumsie. how awful"
at Is true. Your married man

him. didn't hep They are all alike,

realize 1t. No. they probably think
they are having a hard time.
Recall your own schoolduys, that
early schooling when the world was
young. and can't you distinctly re-
member that you thought your tasks
very heavy, and you longed TO grow
up so you could do as you pleased.
No doubt we played from morning
TO night. you and I, but our play
was Interrupted from time to time
by some little household duty such
az sweeping off the back porch or
setting the table. on. Il was an
awful cross to bear. Sometimes. too,
we were forced to come In to dinner
and leave the game. and often bed
time came before we'd caught all
the lightning bugs.
Those things seem laughable now,
but to the childish mind they were
real troubles. Life Is real. life Is
earnest" is true all down the line,
as much so to the little girl OF eight
as to the big girl of rs or 2S.
Happiness" troubles" these are
relative terms, anyway. Things
which cause them may be iuconse-
quential. yet strike the child with
tremendous force, missing the adult
altogether. In other words. II n
child remained a child forever, his
life would be filled with real
troubles TO him, just as much as II
would after he was full grown.
When a child, school hours
seemed so long, and recess so short,
and Saturday just never would come.

OPPORTUNITY AND WEALTH

The general business OF the United, States, In
Guiding merchandising, manufacturing. finance
transportation and mining Is under the major
direction OF men who have either attained their
primacy In some OF the various enterprises or
are now surely climbing to the top.
In other words the business structure is al
most altogether dominated by men. some OF
them decidedly young and nearly all OF them
erstwhile strangers In such company. who have
attained their success by the application OF tho
age-old virtues--indusry and thrift.
Look around the business world and what
do you perceive first OF anG Leaders who have
risen from small beginnings to aftluence by
their own ability and thrift. And these men
