DAVID CITY GD2L MAID AT CORONATION BALL By MELLIFICIA-Oct. 4. No, you simply cannot dais them that Is their hearts, or spirits or J 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.

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- wing aDout it allf Before I go further let me exnlain that I take it for granted that I am talking to boys and girls and men and women who have a little bit of sane, common sense; I am asking decency of my readers a shrinking irom anyming ugly ana cheap and common. And with this in view I am going to suggest that rigid, hard ana tast, cold-blooded convention ality isn't important when you are starving and thirsting for love and happiness. But decency and self-control and calm judgment are and always will be of prime importance.

Hilda is alert and agreeable 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. - m wisaom 01 your parents, tor you ougnt to take advantage of all the experience and knowledge offered you, You have not enough standards of comparison to be able to do even Into the friendly help she erives the new customer of her firm, there creeps a note of the interest natural between man and -woman.

Silly dreamer is Hilda if she does that I Untrained, ignorant woman for all her years of work is Hilda if she cannot see back of the rough surface to the real man. But if Hilda does not see the real man and is afraid to make friends be cause she has not been conventionally introduced, again her own lack of !inl"".e C?.m.p?jOIJship-y ta.kln n Ue and insight is making her 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 Porting her mother and giving her brother a chance at a decent educa tion that she has had nothing of youth, notning 01 joy ana coior noming in fact but work since her fifteenth birthday. tleven years of drudgery. Eleven years of legitimate longing for a liome of her own and tor some one to love her and help her bear her bur den. 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. Hooter Say$ Be Patriotic Pay your food blllt promptly. Order one day or carry your food homo.
