with some housewives that they are
creatures with but one inspiration.
They have one well-planned dinner.
which they serve with slight varia-

such menu that remained the gala
dinner for years in one household
consisted of a first course of raw
oysters (when they were in season).
a rich tomato soup with croutons.
roast chicken or turkey. salad with
roquefort cheese dressing. followed
by a berry pie.
The first time the housewife in
lqucstion served this dinner her hus-
gbnnd complimented her on the well-
fplanned menu and on the cooking
lot the various dishes included.
Guests likewise praised the dinner.
That was fifteen years ago. and it. is
still her gala dinner.

Everybody was making Hannah a.

before.
But Morris and Hannah had not
been friends for years. The quarrel

young Blaustoin could get married.
And meanwhile there was Mr. Ober-

Obermann. the foreman. a man of
bad reputation. If he took a grudge
against a girl the best thing she
could do was to get her pay and
leave. But if he took a liking to
one. the best thing she could do was
to skip out of th; office and send
for the money. Obermutn was a
persistent blmkguard.

And Hannah had been greatly
worried. Oberrnann had shown
signs of taking a liking to the
pretty. frail. delicate. darlc~haired
girl. and Hannah had been trying
to look as homely and inconspicuous
-as possible. Jobs were not too
plentiful in those times. and she had "
never been able to save a. penny.
And Blaustein was out of work.

Obermann had passed his arm

but things were coming to a crisis.
“Gee. if that guy got fresh with
me. I'd slap his face for him.” said
Hannah‘s chum. Bessie Myers.
Hannah said nothing. Many of
the girls secretly admired Ober-
mann. who was a great hulk of a
man. and‘handsome in a coarse way.
He was reputed to be free with his
money. Hannah suspected that
Bessie wouldn‘t have been so free
with her slaps as she pretended.
Obermann passed around the fac-
tory several times during the course
of the afternoon, but he took no
notice of Hannah, much to her re-
lief. However, do the whistle blow.
and the girls made a' rush for their
hats. he came up to Hannah.
“1 want you to stay and see a new
girl." he said. "I‘m going to put her
under you for instruction.“
Hannah. suspecting nothing. went
to Obermann's office a few minutes
later. They were alone there. The
roaring of the machines had stopped.

N THE dark days when every-
1 thing in which you are inter-
ested seems to go wrong. and
you are disposed to become dis-
heartened. hold fast to your cour-
age and look around you.
Make an impartial survey of
the apparent suceess of your
friends and so far as you are able.
compare it with your own. Let
your Judgment be. fair. Cast out
whatever envy there may be
rankling in your breast and look
the truth in the face.
Be not uhpmed to admit your
own delinquencies. nor reluctant
to give credit where it is deserv—
ing to those with whom you are
making comparisons. Study cause
and effect. talents and tempera-
ments. stability and changeable-
ness. then summon up your evi-
dence on both sides and make de-
ductions accordingly.
You may be astounded to find
in the» final analysis that you are
quite as fortunate as those upon
whom you have habitually looked
with envious eyes; that they. too,
have their drear days and are
given to bemoaning their lot just
as you are.
Their path is no smoother than
yours. Their burdens of care are
no lighter. but they have a way
