The Girl Who Works.
God bless the girl who works !
She is not too proud to earn her
own living , nor ashamed to be
caught at her daily task. She
smiles at you from behind the
desk , counter or printer's case.
There is a sweet memory of her
in everything she touches. She
is like a brave mountaineer , al
ready far up the precipice
climbing , struggling , rejoicing.
The sight is an insjjiration. It is
an honor to know th < s girl and be
worthy of her esteem. Lift your
hat to her , young man , ashe
passes by. She is a queen in the
realm of womanhood. She's a
princess among the toilers. Her
hands may be stained by dish
washing , sweeping , printers' inker
or factory greaso. But they are
honest hands. They stay mis
fortune from the home ; they sup
port the invalial loved one , may
be , they are moving , i otent
shields that protect many a fam
ily from the poor house. God
bless and protect the gril who
works. Terrell ( Texas ) Trans-
cript.
