LIVED UP TO HER MOTTO

Indianapolis Woman Had Made a Rule and Intended to Let Nothing Stand In the Way. ■ She Is one of Indianapolis' most successful business women —naturally, too, one of its best-natured ones. And her three small nephews Idealize her quite as much as do her business associates. One afternoon she had promised them a party out in.the country and a wiener and marshmallow toast by the fireplace of their old country home. But for two days It rained and on 'that afternoon it was raining, too. The three youngsters piled into her office, their faces all full of disappointment. But she smiled at them. “Get your waterproofs,” she commanded. “Why, are we going?" they asked In amazement. “Why, of* course,” she mimicked their tone. "My car can get over worse roads than that.” They rushed away after their coats and the woman next her began to protest against her making this trip. “It’s something that Isn’t necessary,” she began. “But It is something that is necessary,” the other interrupted. “It’s the recreation I’d planned and my recreation is as necessary as my work. It keeps up my morale. You know that a rain like this couldn’t keep me away from my work—neither will I let It keep me away from my play.- That’s the motto I’ve adopted for life, and it’s a very efficient one, too.” —Indianapolis News. \
