HOW IT FEELS.
TO BE JOBLESS

EtTNHAT rich phrase 'out Of
i work is open to MANY inter-
pretations," says Malcolm Logan
in Harper's In the minds Of
those who mtake their work Sc
riously 1t evOkes the picture Of a
shabby failure shivering on a park
bench; the completely cynical re :
gard 1t as the equivalent Of out
Of the frying pan into the fire;
but the revolte, the man who
does not fit into the patte9n of
modern life, sees in it as clearly
as in the words out Of prison the
glittering idea of liberty.
How sweet are those first few
moments of freedom! In a sweep.
ing vision / see the worlds broal
meadows, it's long adventurous
roads, its seas, It's cloudy noun
tains. / become conscious of the
immortal loveliness which dead
men have somehow wrung from
life for me. The high dreams o.
earlier years are remembered and
/ vow that / shall follow them
again. Godlike 1 stride out of the
office where my late fellow-work-
ers still bend over their desks;
and l am sorry for them that
their eyes cannot be opened, thar
they cannot know the drunken
ecstasy of liberty.
There always comes. to me in
these moments the illusion that I
have made a s'Narp clean break
with the past. The docile worker
has died that a rebel might be
born. And the rebel shall do all
the things the docile men dreamed
Of doing; see strange cities, read
books, make love to girls, listen
to music, talk to people and find
some understanding of them.
feel all new, strong, courageous.
Unfortunately that first mood
passes. l begin to realize that
this can be only an interlude.
Eventually my neck must be
thrust voluntarily under the yoke.
While l am working the rigid
economic laws are forgotten, as
we forget the laws of gravity
while we obey them. When
am out of work, however, they
are instantly perceptible. l am
faced with the brutal fact that l
must work or starve. That Is a
SOLDERING reflection; it blunts the
fine edge Of joy. Thus at the
oulSSl SlduOW OI WOFk
falls across my path to make
freedom little unquiet.
Until my money gets dan
gerously low the days and nights
pass in a glamorOus procession.
There comes a time, however,
when the necessity of finding
work becomes acute. And this
task of hunting it is the most
distasteful of any toll. Work, like
love, avoids those who seek it too
ardently. Unlversas suspicion cen
ters upon the man who is unwiss
enough to let people see he needs
a position.
''Fortunatly, / usually get a
position before the belief that /
am merely shiftless overcomes me.
This is the croWning joy of un-
employment. Safety Is welcome
then; little moment of rest

HOW TO LIST
GIFTS
Mrs. Cornelius BeeckmanI
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ In keeping with a "Baby's

NEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
~ In keeping with a "Baby's
Record" what is the correct
manner in listing the names of
donors of gifts?
Should one list the immediate
relatives first, or every name,
regardless of relation, alphabet
cally?
Would you not consider a gift
as a congratulation?
In my book, three pages are
devoted to congratulations"
while only one is given to
gifts A. G. M.
THERE is no definite rule for
i this, and you may do it in
the manner most convenient to
yourself. / think that the easiest
way to list presents of any kind,
birth, wedding and so forth. Is
to list them according to date.
Why don't you try this way? /
should think that it would be
especially difficult to list them
alphabetically, and in the end
there would not be much point
of this arrangement.
Yes. a gift is one way of ex-
pressing congratulations. But
letters and telegrams would 5e
listed under congratulations"
according to the divisions in
your book. You could also in
cIude visiting cards at your
house by friends in way of ex'
pressing congratulation.
Please add my congratulations
spiritually, If not in the book!
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Will you please advise me
which of the forms quoted be-
low is correct, and why?
Mr.. Brown, meet Miss
Miss Jones, meet Mr..
Brown"
(2D | have always thought that
the man should be presented to
the lady. for example:
Miss Jones, may l present
Mr. Brown" X.
NEITHER of these forms is
IN correct! 1t is very bad form
to say meet" anybody. lady or
gentleman. Always avoid this
expression-as you would the
plague.
(2) This form of introduction
is correct. and always in good
form. You are correct in think
ing that the gentleman should
be presented to the lady.
Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to
answer questions on etiquette sub
mitted by readers.)
