CHE was dreadfully discour-
~ aged-this friend OF mine
a few weeks ago.
The boss was going away.
He had a better offer from
somewhere, and he was leaving.
And the office had run so
smoothly and well under his d.
rection, and he'd been so mar
velously fair to everybody-and
what would they do when he
was gone?
,There'd been other bosses"
you see, who had been neither
fair nor able to make things
run smoothly. And she didn't
suppose it was possible not 10
get another such person back
again-and wasn't 1t heartbreak'
ing?
And l didn't see her for three
or four months and then one
day she met me with. a wide
smile.
Its all right" she told me
before could say anything,
"Of course we were sorry to
lose Mr.. Blank for he was
wonderful person and splendid to
work for. But Mr.. Dash-the
new boss, you know--js every
thing that Mr.. Blank was, and
then some!
Hes just as pleasant and just
as fair. He's more than willing
to leave all details to us just SO
we turn out good work.
oh" she laughed, didn't
waste a lot of worry on Mr..
Blanks leaving-and 1t was all
for the best all around"
OF course she did-and don't
we all? Most things that happen
10. us happen for the best. And
it's only the silly. eternal fight
we always are putting up against
Destiny that makes us worry and
unhappy.
