TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS

Moral That Writer Has Drawn Not Without Some Points of Worthiness.

Miss Venus Is a lovely gilt} not one time has she. muttered; against her pple, Illumined life not one word has she uttered. Just think, she’s been her arms for many dusty ages, and yet she never drops the brine or rants in hopeless rages. She has to stand a bunch of guff from art bugs down to draymen, and yet she never once comes back and grills the heathen layman. When some lowbrow of brutal mien starts merrily to panning and says her face is worse than wood and that her hair needs canning or that he has a waitress friend who jerks a coffee jigger could give her many, many leagues and beat her out on Agger, she never even looks at him, that rank untutored sinner, but holds her tongue and pedestal; O, Venus Is a winner. She’s on the Job both day and night, she hears man knock or flatter and women not of classic mold get madder than a hatter. She suffers long and quietly with calm and placid manner; in cold no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, no hands to fan her. She is a lesson in herself —a fruit for daily picking. Just spare the world your trouble tales and scratch the useless kicking.—G. S., in Chicago Tribune.
