Reputation and Character
BT t'YNTHIA t'RKY.
Character la what you know you ar* Reputation Is what others
think you are. '■
Tha girl who go** out Into th* world to earn bar living will soon
er or later tome to tbe point where ih* will distinguish between th*
meaning of char* and reputation. At this point ut* Independ
ent wsg* earner it likely to feel that bo matter what her reputation
may be ah- Is good aad pur* If her character la good, and that she,
herself, kaowa bow good she la and It Is nobody else's business.
The girl ha* many prdata la favor of her argument. It 1* no on*
•lee • business abst ah* doe*. It U bar own busts*** Bh* il rs
aponalbl* to no one She says this sad It la almost pitifully true A
gtrl Is responsible to no one on earth except to herself No one, sot
even mother, ■ a be responsible for the girl after ah* leave* th* boms
roof. •
lie, ante of this responsibility to herself and becaut* of tali lack
of responsibility to others, the girl who spends many years la th*
worh-s-dsy world, will find out th* .slue of * good reputation. Th*
girt who by a hundred and one Indiscretions throws away her repu
tation la stripped of the ii"" turn which a good reputation always
affordi her. And It ii th* little things, absolutely harmless la tfcem
s*He* thai by degree* eat up th* good rssutstlo*. which li to Bay

wise and discreet. Protect your reputation* for five years and at th*
end of that time you will understand the value of your armor Be a*

or "silly." It I* verT **»y tat you to be good when everyone believe*
