the United States in the interest of her
work. Mise Paddock has recently been
in Fort Worth and Dallas, and El Paso,

her talks on the condition of women ia
China is a privilege, since she has op

of entering the government schools

Our Workaday Spirit
By Cynthia Grey.
Multitudes of women look upon work
as an unavoidable drudgery—a dis
i agreeable necessity for providing a
J means of livelihood. Sometimes they
say, “Oh, what I could do if I had
money enough to be idle and take life
as easily as Mrs. Blank does.’’ They
fret about the difference in the life of
the rich Mrs. Blank and their own, nev
er realizing in their blindness that Mrs.
Blank really works just as hard as they
do —although in a differnt way.
Many Mrs. Blanks work from morn
ing until midnight (n the effort to get
all pleasure possible out of the dav.
I They go to their beds weary —not of
I well-doing, but because they’re dis
satisfied; their day of selfish labor has
i left them jaded and unrecompensed—
! they know not why.
i The woman who works, if she will but
I look. upon her vocation in an enthus
iastic, whole hearted way, may be sure
that at the close of her day. while she
is probably more tired physically tliao

An Editorial for Women.
If she only wills it, her work is an
elevating, educative process—the results
of which could come in no other pos
sible way. The spur of necessity com
pels her, when she looks at things right
ly, to develop the best that is in her.
Stamina, nobility and womanliness arc -
brought to maturity in her nature by
the necessity of labor.
But—she cannot make a real suc
cess in life when she wastes time in
envy of Mrs. Blank, and in grumbling
all the while because she must do this I
drudgery or that. Grumbling is a con- |
fession of weakness, and is demoraliz
ing, hence none of us can afford to
form a habit of doing things in a half- '
hearted, grudging manner.
We should go ahead in the spirit of |
conquerors, and so get the lesson and f
power out of the fight that comes only '
to the conqueror. We must take pride
in doing our work well —we must keep ;
our standards up and our ideals high
to earn our own self-respect—for that
means to us contentment and happiness
far beyond the dreams of the grumbler.
