LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

But it's all so different in a
dream world. There you can
be just what you want to be
without the slightest difficulty.
You can act any role. And al
ways you'll be beautiful and
clever and fascinating. and
men will die for love Of you. =.
and women will envy you.
and the audience will go wild
with delight when you appear.
Yes, it's very delightfully."-
ing in a dream. And the best
Of it is-you can live in that
dream world while your body
works behind some tireSome
counter or sits brooding over
the cluttered breakfast table
forget the shabbineSS and
drudgery and stupidity Of real
life.
We Can't Do It
How wonderful it would be
if one could always live in a
dream! But there's the rub.
Most of us can't. A few of us
do. Babies do. And insane
people do. and have quite a
delightful time, usually. But
normal people can't live in
dreams. They must come back
into real life. They must face
things as they are, and do
things as they are done, in real
life.
And if you've been living in
a dream, this is frightfully diff.
ficult and discouraging. For the
more you live in dreams, the
less you want to tackle reality,
and the more you resent real
ity. Why should you spend
hours, or days, or years, trying
to do things in real life when
you can do them in the twink
ling of an eye, without the
slightest effort, in your dream
world? Why should you endure
criticism from disagreeable peo-
pie in real life, when you can
hide from all disturbances in
your glamorous, flattering
dream?
Why is she always discour-
aged disguised with life?
Why do things always go
wrong? That's why. She's
living in a dream-and her
spirit fights against leaving
that dream and facing reality.
Is that why things go wrong
with YOU, too?
