WORK AND EQUALITY

"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."

PIGS AND FIGURES.
Porkers From the Standpoint of All
Around Mathematics.'
The educated 'pig of the old time
shh whow. which gravely read figures
on a blackboard, was only a typo of n
class. |Ils modern prototype is quite
his equal in devotion to the exact sei
ence. Hy both instinct and fate lie Is
a mathematical aiiiinal. Subjectively
and objectively lie is greijjt on figures;
They are dealt out to him. and he
-deals in them htTTTKelf. " lie desire** his
square meals t ? ? he regulated daily by
the rule of three. In addition, he deals
with his owner's indebtedness, lie is
able i ( > reduce a mortgage to fractions
with n'martiug rapidity, hi measuring
the available contents ol a i?ail of slop
he is ;'t lightning calculator. '
As a multiplier the pig has no' equal,
ew.nnting o.ti six to the liller and two
litters in die \ ear. At tliis rate, bar
ring accidents. the sow's progeny will
.amount to u.oe than l.ouo In four

ra\ of tigures? his gains every day on
pasture. Tils gains .every day on grain. I
his gains to the pound of grain, his
! gains on pasture plus a daily ration,
his gains on vegetables and roots?
these anil a hundred other tabulations
surround liliii. I'roflt or loss, so far as
the pig is concerned, is almost purely
a matter of feeds and .feeding, and
these are iii their turn matters of al
