GILLETTE'S BLUNDER If Chester Gillette, charged with pushing "Billy" Brown into an am. rondack lake to get rid of her, is not dead to all the best and finest in wom anly character, he must bv thi h realize that he threw away the love and life-long devotion of a girl who, in any event, was much too good for The; letters from the girl published durinir his trni ah a J,, feeling, a richness of character and a heart of pure devotion rare among women of any class. Factory girl though, she was, and unlettered, the Tw1aaof the besfc 1Iterary ality. That is, they are full of human feel ing, expressed with pathetic, direct sympathy. ' 'J1 am buUt crazy now'" she writes m iiC ui nor iasc letters. "I have ?nrt?v dSing g00d-bye t0 some places today. There are so many nooks, dear, and all nf fh , i.. a' I have lived here nearly all my life. list, I said good-bye to the old springhouse, with the great masses or crreen mnscs fimn i, i i.i-. cute little house in the orchard, and w ttll L LUt ndgnDorg that nave mended my dresses from a little -wo u4j, lu aave me tnrastiings I reallv deserved." She seemed to have a premonition of the end, a foreboding of disaster. Gillette's sensibilities were too blunt, however, to appreciate the deli cate refinement of the woman whose real character shines like light in this brief extract. She was a factory girl good enough to play with, to dis- Z ,V ' i,ornaps, it she gi-ew troublesome, but not good enough to becomehis wife. As in so many other cases he was not good enough for her He missed the greatest blessing tnat can nnme tn n mnn i 4.ui ,,Jz because he was not worthy of it He was blind and knew it not, when he had it within his grasp. It is a terrible lesson to all men, and rm' t0' f0r that matter- Social condition is no index to real charac ter. Indeed, it often obscures the best oiwu,na uie worst womanly and nianly spirit. "Billy" Brown worked in a factory. But her letters, written without art, are the very best proof of her superiority to all conditions.
