"There kouh Viola!" the little Bleu ogrupher whispered excitedly to her visitor. ub Bhn watched a girl hurry liig to the elevator "Every fond pa rent with preconceived ideas uh to the way to bring up a family ought to nit ? t Vlolrt '? fath. r' * "Viola lw rather stylishly fixed up for a business Svoumn on Monday af ternoou, Isn't she? Well, she's got a right to be, for she's her papa's secre tary, and hIic h go log to be married and 1b moBt sumptuously eutertalned almost dally! Yes, I'll tell you about her. "You know Mr. Gray, her father, ha* been tulklng to me about hie daughter ever Since I came to work for this firm. He nays I ought to feel proud of my plnice? my work In the world, and ra forth. Then he'd always end up by declaring that Viola wasn't-, to be a parasite and that she was a Child after IiIh own heart. She be lieved In woman's work and equality, and all that, and when she'd finished college she was going to do something worth while! "Finally Viola graduated. I forget how many years over and above the first lour It took licr to get through, but her father called them poBt-gradu at e years, and no one else cared. "When Viola failed to find a pub lisher for her novel, which It took her a year to write, and when she didn't take to social settlement work or woman's movements, papa got nerv ous for her to get Into something, but none of the ordinary pursuits. It seemed, appealed to little Viola! "Finally I told him that I thought she'd make a good stenographer. I as sured him (hat it took brains and ed ucation and capacity to compete with most of uh, and it was such a fruitful field? so few In it! Well, he took it all In ? never suspected for a moment i that there was sarcasm in my sugges tion. So Viola took the training! "Mr. Gray was in the clouds during those months. He devoted four-fifths of his time to telling me what new fa cilities for high-grade office work Viola was going to bring when she arrived ? for he would have her for his pri vate secretary. They planned thing* t at home, he said. "Well, I got alarmed and began real- i ~1y to work to earn my salary, for I didn't dare let Viola come into the of- ; flee and prove more satisfactory than j I ! "Hefore Viola arrived to go to work, not only 1, but the whole office force knew just how clever Viola was. We'd ; all seen Viola when she had come to call on papa, and Jimmy, the office boy. who hadn't realized who she was, discovered that ho resembled nothing else bo much aa just plain atmos phere! She sailed past us all into . his Inner office ? and then, a little later she sailed right out again without! glancing afbund. "So when Mr. Gray came in late j ono morning with Viola and intro duced her to us all before ushering her into nis private office we were prepared for the chilly reception we got from her. We lost none of our curiosity to see what happened. "Sho relieved me of all her father'^ work, and I was rather glad, for he'd been getting to be a nuisance ? keeping me there hours over one letter talking about Viola. ,, "Well, one night Jimmy called me over and let me see a letter he was sealing. It was sort of kid finished all over, from nearly every word hav ing been erased, and It' was rather a mussy affair for us to send out? but It had Viola's Initials and her fa ther's signature at the foot. "One morning Mr. Gray came down alone to the.ofllce and he called me l0; for dictation. He had a pile of letterB a foot high, and we just were burled In work. There were letters a weok old ? Important ones. Then 1 could see the connection between Mr. Gray't Increasing crow's feet and the light malls he had been getting out. Viola wasn't \ip to the work. * "Things got worse and worse. Mr. Gray got to calling me in for dictation oftenen, and finally ho confided to me ! that Viola hadn't found her vocation yet. Hut sho was engaged to a nice j ; young man, and he thought marriage would round her out- and complete her life. ! "Then last week I found ,blm all | humped up at his desk I swered his bell. I asked him what' ! was the matter, and he couldn't con- j | ceal It any more, 'It's Viola,' he said, j 'She says she lovos her work and she J isn't going to let marriage separate ; her from it. She's made the young [ man promise that he'll let her stay and help me. Sho knows what I think of women's work In the world and she refuses to disappoint me! All I can ?ay only makes her think that I'm try ing to sacrifice myself for her? and ?he's going to stay! "So Viola still cornea down to the office. She has enttrely giren up her i letters, but she talks over things wtth papa and draws her salary." Fox-Terrtar Mothar* Duck. Mr. Wood row, head keeper at Nun*- ; i ham Park.
