No, you simply cannot dais them

manners! I found that out long ago
and every littlew hile fresh proof
stimulates my faith in humanity.
Humanity does not abide with any
one class. It creeps in with the rich
and it dines with the poor. It is the
dispenser of goodwill and good cheer.
I had been all fussed up by an
uninterested saleswoman who gave
me nothing but grunts in answer to
my questions about where a certain
article could be found.
: Peevishly I rushed into a little nook
in one of the large department stores
where there are little tables, a menu
card and young girl waitresses. Find
ing an unoccupied table, I sat down
and ordered lunch.
"Have you a check?" the little girl
a3ked.
I "Why, nol Is this one of those
pay-as-you-enter places? How can I
tell how much my check will be untill
I decide on my lunch. Well, never
mind I I will get my check and order
later"
"Let me get your check," was her
sweet reply. "It is no trouble at all
and if you leave your table you might
lose it"

Has Life
Passed You By?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Suppose you found yourself ship
wrecked on a desert island would you
sit still and fold your hands, ex
pecting rain water to drop on your
parched tongue and luscious tropical
fruits to come tumbling into your lap?
Would you refuse to accept aid from
a handsome young giant, who came
striding into your view and decline
to have anything to do with him
because you hadn't been properly
introduced?
How absurd all that sounds!
Well, suppose you find yourself
marooned in a tiny country village
or lost in the great big desert of
life in a city are you going to
whimper because you don't know
people and complain because your
salary won't buy you the things you
want and make yourself miserable
over the conditions in your boarding
house, or are you going to do some-

Soliloquy of Modern Eve
Give us the woman who errs and sees it; who
messes up things in general and comes out
with a smile, just a wee bit wiser She is
one worth while : : : : : :
Br ADELAIDE KENNERLY.
When I hear a woman admit that
she was wrong, the blame I might
have felt for her vanishes like the
morning mist. "I was wrong"
seems like the sun itself shining
through a murky cloud and the
cloud disappears altogether.
It isn't easy, at first, to say you
are wrong it sounds so much big
ger to be right--but, after all, it is
the small, narrow, mean persons
that admit only their virtues.
There is character back of "I
was wrong." There is egotism
back of "I was right."
Have you ever been angry with
a woman and then have her sweetly
tell you she is sorry that she is
wrong? Why, it makes all the dif
ference in the world I It turns dis
like to friendship; it dissolves every
bit of peevishness and, if you don't
watch, you will be throwing your
arms around her neck and telling
her that she wasn't wrong; in fact
you will believe that perhaps she
was partly right after all.
But, oh I the woman who thinks
she is always right 1 The woman
who Relieves that her opinions are
the only correct ones The woman
who brags that she never admits be
ing wrong, whemisses no oppor
tunity to boast of be'i.g right, with
I told you so, is the most impossi
ble creature, so far as love goes,
that we ever meet.
Admittirr that you are wrong
shows in open mind. It is proof
enough that you are developing and
learning. It is a mirror through
which the public can see a clean
soul.
The woman who thinks she is a!
ways right i: always wrong, because
of the principle from which she
draws l.er conclusions. She is not
seeking knowledge or light; she is
vain, with no foundation for her
vanity; she is dishonest, first with
herself and naturally with every
body else; she is the woman who
must be whipped to be taught.
Give me the woman who does
wrong and admits it; who errs and
sees it; wHb messes up things in
general (occasionally) and ccmes
out of it with a smile, just a wee bit
wiser; who throws false pride to the
wind when honor is at stake; who
values her self-respect more than
the impression she is making.
In such a person there is true
womanhood, honesty and charac
ter; there is a friendship worth, cul
tivating and a trust worth while.

elaborate attitude of wanting to prove
how very conventional and well be
haved we are. Let me illustrate
Hilda is 26. She lives in a tinv
apartment far out in Harlem. Her
home is clean and neat and her moth
er and young brother are very lovable
people. Poverty has not taken charm
from them. Hilda has worked so
hard keeping the home together, sun

Hilda has not gotten bitter. She has
throw awav her chance of haoDiness
ahe has seen that man through busi
ness dealings, she is in an office full
of men who know him.
Here is a chance which it is oer-
fectly legitimate for a woman of ma
ture judgment to take. And then
there is the third drawback the third 1
stumbling which Hilda may not be
able to crass to happiness.
The little home far out in Harlem
is cheap. The manager of Marshall
& Co. is prosperous looking, even if
ungainly. The poor little home, the
shabby mother what will he think of
them?
Only cowardice keeps most of us
from happiness. Hilda may be afraid
to sacrifice her romantic dreams,
afraid to be friends with a man she
has not lived next door to for years,
atraid to show her own honest, clean
poverty. And if she is she misses
love.
This is another of the ways in which
we, who complain that life is passing
us by, ourselves pass by our chances
for happiness. But there are still oth
ers. And to dare to take our happi
ness we must know an the ways in
which we fail to seize it.
