in a pleasant home. She had always
worn good clothes and she didn't like
being uncomfortable. She got letters OF
introduction from the heads of her
Office at home and went to New York in
great excitement.
She got jobs, indeed, she got several.
through the letters. But she found that
they were just as dull as those she had
left behind at home. And 1t cost her
more to live. But she had definite
object. She wanted to get into the bond
business. At the present writing she
has an interesting job as stenographer
and she is having good time. She is
meeting some interesting people she
wanted to meet. But she's not nearly
so comfortable as she was at home. She
is not yet in the bond business. But I
think she will be, because her mind is
set on it.
She is of highly adventurous dis
position. She likes risk. She's good
looking and she knows that back home
they will always be glad to see her.
And she loves standing on her own feet
in the strange city so much that she
is willing to do without lot of things
in order to stay there.

demand in another city, If you are I'M
happy and restless at home. If you have
several hundred dollars to take with
you, and If you are over 20 years old,

can safely go to another city.
If you are easily frightened or II you
are weak-willed, stay at home.
