pe arance aranco are concerned it is to reserve them tor for the th 0 people who know you well and not to flaunt them on the highways and byways for tile the benefit of thomas richard or heliy who

prING acquaintances tho the pleasing tit task sic q of dropping summer slimmer acquaintances now falls to most sociable women A boo klent a lower offered worle shown has anew a now stitch in rancy

tunny funny tho chances oro are site sho meets tho the undesirable when cheis with some man to thoin she has told her talo of woo or else with a woman who knows tho the world better than thai sho she does docs and either due 0 of 0 thae will give hor courage she looks at the creature for sho has gotten to call her that and stares vacantly as do does I 1 es a a french doll then she turns to hierl

cheerfully missed and that is as telegraph operators A small amill district messenger boy who had a largo large heart and who was less busy than I 1 am ami told mo me that there were sonic some I 1 good ones among them and this lias has given me a little bit of courage as ai to their future but it is pretty hard to bo be treated as a woman Is by the young lady who manages the key whose chite a hi to frock Is macu mac lati ulato and whose blue beads are ar 0 things of beauty and who is so loft lofty y that you flinch before tier her Sh she chasse has sent ut a telegram tor for me signed with tile the namo of the person to whom it was directed and for three days a very busy man did not know who in the world it came from she has been out when I 1 wanted to send a telegram which by the by I 1 thought was vas against the rules of the company and in another form and another frock she has taken a dollarton dol dollar larto to let mo me know three hours before tho the steamer arrives when that very steamer had been in for six hours and it was her business to know it T lis truo true the iho company returned mo me sixty cents of the money but I 1 missed meeting a friend and missed arranging some important bust business ess and yet there are people deop 0 o who approve or of women as telegraph U operators it may sound alitalo alitt lo ill III natured in me to say this about any woman who has to earn her own living HINTS rolt fort WORKING but I 1 think thero there aro are somo some things a woman must remember when sho she goos goes out into tile the workaday work a day world she must leave her bor personal affairs Charli charlies cs letters and tier her fine frocks at homo home she must remember that in not doing her best as far as her work is concerned she is not only cheating her employer and the general public but sho she is lowering her own character I 1 she must have patience and be cheerful both perhaps are a little difficult at some times but a pleasant manner and a willingness to wilt wait a little will mean success in the future you know silo sha really to bo be working at all tho the good lord did not build her with any attention of earning her own living it was distinctly slated to adim adam that ho he was to do all tho the work but I 1 guess from adam down there have been men who havo have shirked what they ought to do when I 1 think of that blue beaded telegraph operator I 1 pet got into a sort of white heat it if sho were a man I 1 would have made a complaint against her but I 1 dont like to do it because ashes a woman androls and so is BAD BAB |
