THE RHYMING
'OPTIMIST

IVY HEN the hours are
" heaped UP, full measure,
" with their portion of play
and work; with the joys that are
ours to treasure, with the duties
we would not shirk; when the
days are as fleet in going as a
leaf on the Yhirling wind, when
times ripples are swiftly flowing,
distant friends are not brought to
mind. For the snares of the
world enchain US. we are caught
in its far-flung net and, however,
the thought may pain us, there
are days when we do--forRet.
We. forget In the fret and furry,
in the haste of our passing mood,
the old smile that could Danish
worry and the handclasp that
understood. But as soon as a
lull comes creeping through the
maze OF the busy hours, then the
love that has just been sleeping
wakes. again like the fragrant
flowers. 1t may be when the twi.
lights falling and the shadows
are marching on, it may be when
the robins calling to his mate
in the flush Of dawn. But, what
ever the time or reason, it is al
ways a brighter day when we
dream for a little season OF the
friend who is far away.

my girls, why don't YOU
have a hobby? No matter.
AA where you are employed
or what your business. 1t will
give your whole life new interest
and charm If you win take up
some happy idea and pursue it
with passion as a hobby.
Here. for example. are two
twenty-ye ar-oid girls, roOmmates,
, one employed In i store ana the
other in an office. One Of them
makes .dolls.,a and the other doiliss
as q side line. Three evenings
per week they stay in their room
and work happily at their side
line
The dollnaker buys the mere
forms and dresses them in beau.
tiful garments made of differents
colored crepe paper. For the holt
day trade one store paid her $50
for dolls which cost her less than
IS to create.
Her speciality is the doll Fam
ily," consisting Of father. mother,
brother, sister and baby, all
clothed in a manner which APP
peals to little girls and brings
a ready sale.
The doilie maker is not far be-
hind her roommate in the matter
of amateur art craft. While her
side line has also sold well she
has specialized recently in MAX
ing artistic doilies to present as
gifts.
Are you spending all your long
evenings chasing about the city
in pursuit OF amusement? This
in time will tend to cheaper your
character and to sadden you.
Get hobby. Take uo some little
affair into which you can throw
your whole heart. Do not think
first Of sales and of adding to
your income. Let that follow as
an incident.
First put your finest dream
your love, into some side line of
art or handicraft. Let it be some
thing that win reflect your per.
sonality. It will then be differ
ent from anything else in the
world, and will most instantly at
tract attention.
Just for the novelty of 1t the
two girls mentioned above call
themselves "The Doll and Dolly
Co.." and they have recently had

tionery, giving the name and per-

There are hundreds of simple
