And in the attainment of the e so neatness and trimness heroism again has to come to the fore, it is no easy matter after long hours of labor to labor more, take pains for personal cleanliness, sew and darn when eyes are heavy, back is aching. Heroines every one of them that make a good show. I know a girl in a fashionable candy shop that every other night washes and irons that she may be presentable the next day. Her moderate wage is the chief part of the family support, there is not enough money for enough blouses to last the week, and so the midnight laundrying Is done as a matter of course. But how pretty and sweet and fresh the girl does manage to look in her snowy white and well brushed black; much better dressed, she seems to me. than the woman of fuss and feathers What little mothers they are, a lot of them, simple affectionate, domestic creatures though so often characterized as vain, shallow, foolishly ambitious, thinking only of dress and dates." I know one girl that worked in one of the department stores which Tteep open evenings at Christmas time, who the night before Christmas did not leave the store until midnight, then after traveling an hour on the street cars to her home stayed up bours to trim a wonderful Christmas tree for the children of the family, the bunch of little ones the poor seem always to have with them.
