HI. and estimates furnished for eltner cent Ban on convention of Working Girls' clu "Are they trying to equal in the w of men and women for equal work? « the answer is: Many of the clubs are formed entirely of girls and young women who do what is called unskilled labor, who are “lettered and untanght and for whom there must be an awakening, which comes more or less slowly, The very foundations of character must be developed that have not been touched by home influence or even in the shop or factory. Bough na- tures have to be softened and every ef- fort made to awaken thought. This has been done in a. social as well as an edu- cational way, and to brighten Weary hours has not been the least and small- est purpose of the clubs. Many have learned how to have healthy, good times, whose ideas were greatly astray. Dancing is a pleasure which is often indulged in, and in which girls lose their shyness and ditlldenco. Five cent suppers have been a success in one club, where the girls came di- rcctly to the cluhroom from their work and enjoyed together the baked beans, fish balls, brutal and butter, tea and co- coa. The receipts nearly always covered the expenses, and after the merry meal the pretty china presented to tho club by interested friends was washed by willing hands and arranged in the closet ready for the next occasion. The yomg man is also being consid- ered, for it must be recognized that young man and young women enjoy each other" 5 company as a law of na- ture. The society girl has a coming out time who 11 she is formally presented to society and introduced to the young men whom her parents and guhrdians con- sider desirable for her to meet. But there is no coming out for the working girl. She has to meet and make her own friends and not always under happiest auspices. A young girl who went to our club was asked why sho so oftcn went out after a little while spcnt in the 'clubroom. ”Oh, you are very nice Miss A., and I like to meet you of thc club, but I shall never get a mush in the world if I don't look round. ” Yet she was a good, hour-st girl, who simply had no place of inciting young nn-u snvo on the strut. Shc could doubthzss protect herself and parry any insult for better than a sensitive, unsophisticated girl, who had always been cared for and gunrdrd. illn- prospe‘rous club has had Several dancing parties to which young inc-11 wcrc invitcd. A girl is pretty sure to bring tho uicr-st young man sho knows to intmdlicc to her cnn1pm1ions and to those whosc opinion she has grown to value and desire. In this way acquaintances are; formal llllllu!‘ whole- soum and natural surroundings.

He spent most of his time lookingout of the window and barking at cats. Now this story will show you how sadly he was misjudged and what a really intel- ligent, bright doggie he is. His mistress was married and wont to live in another house on the same street about five blocks away. She took llijou with her, of course. But the dog still liked his old home and rl-gulnrly every morning after breakfast he went back there to make a visit, always returning to; his new home before dinner. One day his mistress was sick and wished to send a message to her mother. How could she send it? There was no one in the house but herself. Suddenly she thought of Ilijou's daily visits to his old home. Why might he not be her messenger? Sc she wrotea note, pinned it to his harness and started him off. lunhout half an hour here came the little letter carrier trotting down the street with another note pinned to his harness. lie begged to be let iutc the house. and when his mistress unplaned the note—which was a reply to the one she sent—and petted him he expressed his do light in every way he could.

The shades of night were getting in their work, and the peace of a righteous community was filtering through the atmosphere Brown and Jones were on- joying their last cigars and conversing on stocks. There is nothing frivolous or flighty about Brown or Jones. Suddenly there came a swish of feminine skirts, a sknrry of a bicycle. and through the darkened air a shrill wail faltcred. "0h, won't you please help me?" Then a bicycle at full tilt sped across the street crossing, and Brown and Jones stared at each other aghast. “Go-obi" half cried the voice of the disappearing rider. “What in thunder does she want help . about?" gasped Jones. ”She wasn t tipping over!" cried Brown. “Her wheel was all right!" “No one was pursuing”-——- “Help!” floated back to the crossing. With one wild gush of alarm two cigars were flung to destruction, and two repu- table citizens wont sprinting down Lake avenue. Never since their college days have Jones and Brown made a running record like the one credited to that night’s performance, with a movable god for an object. One block, 2 blocks, 234, and the fleeing wheel with its sob- bing rider came into view. With an extraordinary spurt, Brown and Jones caught up, grabbed the ban- dlo bars and stopped the wild progress of the modern Flying Dutchman. “What” -- begun Jones. “How”— gasped Brown, who was stout and um pleasantly conscious of something ridic- ulous in the whole proceeding. “Oh!" quivercd tho feminine rider, who was not young and not fair. “Oh, how can I cvcr th-thank you!
