Why Does the Working Girl
Fill the Dance Halls?
Many of our readers have asked for a picture of Maude Le
Pago with more of the girl in it than the face portraits we have
printed. Above is a photograph of the now famous working girl,
taken especially for the Times.
BY MAUDK U I'AGK.
Written for the Times by the Girl
Who Would Sell Her Soul fur
Sl.tMKi So That She Might Buy
W Play Day.
The day is done. We close the
door of the shop behind us, and
leave our unfinished task for the
morrow.
We are tired, but we are young,
and youth is vigorous and pleasure
loving. So wo quite disregard
fatigue and seek amusement.
The world looks on and whis
pers of our amusements and criti
cises. "Why does the working
girl fill the cheap dance halls
nightly?" it question*, believing it
has said something woudrously
wise.
Whirling to music and dancing
are expressions of youth. The
working girl cannot afford to at
tend the gorgeous charity balls.
She hears of them, longs for
them and imitates them in her
feeble way. She cannot smother
the longing, so she compromises.
She hears of the grand opera.
Her heart hungers for the lights,
the music, the glittering stage.
She opens her worn purse, selects
the only coin she dare devote to
vain luxury and enters the nickel
theater. This stands to her hun
gry heart as a substitute for the
grand opera.
YOUTH—whether It is Had in
rags or richer, whether it is half
starved or over-fed, whether it is
crushed or {tampered, cries out for
amusement.
This cry must be answered even
at a sacrifice. To compromise for
ever and ever is a sad and bitter
sacrifice.
The amusements of the mon
eyed people are inspiring, elevat
ing, and they leave their stamp.
The amusements of the under
paid are crushing, deadening, and
they also leave their stamp.
The work by which we live
marks us ag Its own. The ob
server knows us for what we are.
The entertainments in which we
indulge Influence our character,
our habit of speech, our outlook
on life, even our gait.
Every woman is naturally a
lover of art, and when I meet a
girl who is truly satisfied with
something less I know that our
■'system" has done its work with
a mighty flourish. It has killed
a part of her —the better part
—and left her ghost to be sneered
at by the madding mob.
Oh, whispering world! Criti
cise if you will, but where there
is youth there is going to be en
tertainment and amusement. And
those who cannot afford the
higher planes will sink to any
level in quest of joy.
The land is rich with splendor
and plenty. Why should Amer
ica's daughters content them
selves with shadows?
The wise world goes on and on
believing the amusements we ac
cept are the amusements we de
sire, and are the only ones we
are fitted for.
I 'yon So.
"This train Is an hour behind
time?" said the fretful passenger.
"Yes,' replied the conductor,
"but you ought not to mind that.
It's a heap pleasanter on tnis
train than It will be In tne town
you're going to."
A Wise Woman.
"Now for $2," announced the
stargazer, "I will furnish you
with a philter which will make
your husband love you to exclu
sion of all others."
"I don't think I'll Invest," de
cided the practical housewife.
"But if you have a philter which
will make him bring home some
of his salary on pay days, I'll al
low you a percentage on all sums
realized."
THE TACOMA TlM£3
This is all a mistake. The
workiiiß girl ha.s her dreams, her
ideals, hut the call of youth must '
be recognised, so she compromises
regardless of consequences.
Clogged Bowels a
Menace to Health
Constipation at Bottom of Most
Serious Illnesses—Avoided
by a Simple Kcmedy.
Trace the origin of the common
er ills of life and almost invaria
bly you will find that constipa
tion was tlie cause. It is not to
be expected that a mass of fer
mented food can remain in the
system beyond its time without
vitiating the blood and affecting
the nerves and muscles. It con
gests the entire body.
The results are colds, fevers,
piles, headaches and nervousness
with its accompanying indigestion
and sleeplessness. There is only
one thing to do^/bnd that Is to re
move the trouble; and when na
ture seems unable to do it, out
side aid is necessary. You will
find the best of all outside aids a
remedy that many thousands are
now using for this very purpose,
called Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
Many hundreds of letters are re
ceived by Dr. Caldwell telling of
the good results obtained, and
among the enthusiastic letters is
one from Docia Wood of Little
River Academy, North Carolina,
who suffered with constipation
and indigestion so badly that she
could not sleep well art night and
everything she ate distressed her.
She writes that after her mother
had given her Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin she "can now eat
anything."
It has untold advantages over
pills, salts and the various coarse
cathartics and purgatives, for
while these do but temporary
good, Syrup Pepsin cures perman
ently. The effect of its action is

and tlie l)oy who "talked" about

On the other hand you have no

| PARALYZED GIRL "ROUGHS IT" ALONE, I
WITH WHOLE OUTDOORS FOR A HOME
♦ . ■+
GLOUCESTER, Eng., Feb. 7.—
Although so badly paralyzed that
she can only crawl on her knees,
"the pluckiest young woman in
England" has just finished a
nine months' tour, traveling alone
over 300 miles in a little donkey
cart. Her only companion was
"Eve," the donkey.
She Is a woman of 27, of good
social standing, who asks that her
surname be not mentioned. "I
prefer to be known as 'Miss
Frances," she said.
She started her camping tour
last March from Wlthersfield
Green, Sussex. Her outfit, besides
the donkey and cart, consists of
rugs, a few pots and pans and a
small store of provisions.
Since the tour started Miss
Frances has slept outdoors every
night, making her solitary camp
in the woods. She has lived a
life more promltlve than a gypsy,
making her fires, cooking simple
meals, ad often for days at the
time having no other comrades
than the donkey and the birds.
Last spring she was feeble, dis
contented with her lot in the
world, and thought her days of
life were numbered. Now she is
the picture of health with' her
clear, tanned skin and sparkling
blue eyes, and expects to live
many years.
As she sat in the cart, wear
ing a thick, warm coat of ordi
nary sacking, with a sheep-skin
rug tucked around her, one
thought that few men have the
pluck to "rough It" as this fragile
paralyzed woman has done.
I have enjoyed myself so much
since I went on the road that I
have decided to spend the rest of
my life driving around In my
donkey cart, camping out, winter
and summer, day and night," she
said. \ .-.•■■•■
