Girls Who | Live In | The Clouds By Sophie Irene Loeb. Copyright, 1022 (New York Evening World) Bross Publishing Company.” Na small town not far from New York there is a girl who has been brought to earth after having lived tn the clouds entirely too long. Tt seems that her father and » Mother hard-working people. They haa skim ped and saved in order that Amanda should get a @ 00d education with all of tts advantages. They were very progressive peo- ple and had hud litle of higher . education in thelr own lines, and as usual wanted their daughter to have tt. She went through school and grad- ated, ut no small expenso to them, Because there were the other chil- dren. . But they hoped that after Amanda got through she could be in Position to ‘help che rest of the mily either by being u private teacher or taking up somo interest- ing womanly work. When Amanda wus going to school the had bullt a lot of alr castles from which it was hard to get her away; but her mother thought it was only « girlish fancy that slo ought to in- d@uige. So Amanda was permitted to @ream whilo her mother darned her ockings and mended her clothes. Shortly after tho graduation a party of young women were going to Burope us « sort of finishing touch tu their edycation. ‘Thy lady conductor of the enterprise appeuled to Amunda's Parents to let her come with the \ Party, setting forth hcw much x trip to Burope would broaden the view of the girl, and uid her in moulding her character, etc., etc. are Now it was a great burdship for , these good pep: to provide the * money for such a trip, but with great @iligence and sycrifive t to urrange it, and Am Europe. How this couple looked forward to her letters and jonged for her return one can better imagine than describe. Came the day when Amanda returned home with a trunk full of souvenirs fpand ahead full of notions—notions of . jes in Spain and Prince Charmings {) sand lovely cathedrals, and a vision of life as one long period of sightseeing And really, her folks were simpir country folks, and that is the way si talked about them to the frends met up the boat. They were provin- while was of the world's managed wda went to ve worldly. She had little to to her parents when slo returned home, and she confided to her triends “they would not understand.” Wurope had gone er heud rather than to her heart end made her very lofty indeed, in fuct, quite Nghtheaded. To muke a long story short, Aman- da had to take a job in the lags store to carn her board and keep. The father was a wise man. He realized that the more he gave Amanda in the way of sacrifice, the less Amanda apprectated it. And the only way to make her realize the value) of hard work and monvy was to have her go through it herself, which she fs now, doing. Doubtless it Is not too late to put Amanda in the way tho o should go. But this is only one tilustration of the many girls who live in the clouds and who are admired and hu- mored by fond parents until the girls are absolutely worthless. No matter how you love your child, make her realize that every you! woman must be taught to do som i to make her own way, whether the has to do so or not. It will al- ‘ways stand her in good stead.

Ho refused to con- sider the play us conversation materi- al, he retused to discuss the people who sat near them and did not seem inclined to talk shop outside of uftive hours. He had a peculiar way of humming when she was talking to him and proved such an indifferent escort that Jessie longed for Peter. Then, as if by magic, he suddenly opened his heart to her. He told her he was in love with a girl in this city, but doubted {f he could ever marry her.
