8 CHARLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, FEBRUARY 3, 1903. AS IT SEEMS 10 ME BY A riUSOXEH OF HOPE. " It wemi to 'me that we should be more Cimpic ana UHiurni anu . (juiio honest with ourselves. I used to fair ly revel In the story of Cinderella. Every variation of it delighted my childish soul. Lut I don"t like It now It seems to me that a godmother wha could place a girl in a false position is a very untrustworthy and much to be feared old woman. False position are dangerous, always.

There was too much pretense about it all. When I was a child with my hair In curls and my skirts a long way . above my shoe tops. I knew two beau Uful young, ladles who lived on the -Their mother was a wiaow rnrnr and kept boarders. I think that U all that anybody could say bdoui ner She never said anything or did any thing or went anywhere. The two beautiful young ladies did every particle of the work, and did It well. They sang merry duets over the wash tubs and gossiped over tne iron in tabler Aiid the kitchen was as oalnty as an arcorn shell. No cinders and ashes for these daugmers 01 ion. Their cooking was exquisite. , Looking back. I can't think of no friends of the olden days who might have been more Justly proud of being Just what they were. But It oame to me by a sort of Intuition, as things bo oiten come to children, that these young ladles were ashamed of their work and of themselves as they really were. Children take in knowledge aa a sheep nibbles grass. It Is afterward that we chew the cud of reflection. And this Is a long time afterward. The young ladies whom I admired so much dressed with great "elegance, Their gowns were dreams of beauty. always In the extremist of latest fash Ion, and of the richest materials. know now why this fact could not es cape unpleasant comment In the neighborhood. Then my childish im aginations 'wove Wonderful storlfta around the two exquisitely gowned young ladies. There was a certain room In the boarding house that was a- kind of Blue Beard closet.. The ladles alone went Into It. Perhaps It was because I admired them so sincerely, because my Interest- was so genuine, or be cause nobody minded a girl in the first of her teens. Any way, there fame a day when I was not unwel come in the room. It was a sewing room. It was here that the young ladies, working in secret, made their lovely gowns, to a lime giri wnose one best winter dress was alwuys very Imply made, thl was a chamber of wonders. The soft, shlmmery silk and web-like laces and . mosiy velvets! How my soul loved them! But my mother was a very wise woman and she listened silently to all I had to ray. Not long ago. when the mother had grown very, very sweet and white and frail she asked me one day if 1 remembered what hurt been my heart's desire whn I was 11. But I could not remmber. and she jtold me. It was a blu velvet gown! Dear little mother, she had not forgotten! I never acquired the blue velvet gown, hut I like to think that my mother remembered. mere was sun a mysiery aonui my two beautiful young ladle. 1 no soon er ftll In love with one of their love ly costumes thin It disappeared!

The wardrobes were nlwa; empty! F.ven us a child I felt that the clothed were not the personal be longing "f the young Indies. They were nimle to he old, and were worn between whiles Now I em told t'.nt many rich wo men -east axtdo exquisite gown after a few wearing.' But In the raie of my young ladles there was the com mercial flavor. Besides there wjh something, apparent to even a child, that made theso clothes seem Incon gurous. The young lad lest dressed ele gantly for the opera, but they alwavn walked, foevn street csr fare need ed t be ;ivl. And the f.fati that ihey cuuld j.av for guve them, the ap T'ejrancc of being 'nut of plnr. For the public balls the most ex iiii.ip evening gowns' were iniije ready.

They were onert. rut the t'n-ry of the young Indies wrong. The tlolhes belonged to the girl. There were no np'iiid bllW. They h.-.d wr.rke I hard. fr what thev wrj. There was no fairy sodmother wav ing a magic wand. Still It wis wrong. It is tvt a auction .f legal rteht, hiit ef . etlffcs. In -a fine wnw It wis dis honest, because It was pretense. It seems to me that these young nmn had very little for their labor. They appeared to, be whitt they were Pot, they semed to posses what was not theirs. In the pursuit of happiness we are .free to go our own wy, and to each f us hapoiness when found has a different appearing. But sometimes a will o' the Winn looks like a utar and Its leading Is false. To the young la dles on the corner the world was a ort of fashion plate. They were .not making clothes as a means of living, but only that they might wear them a few times! Whether or not a man Is to he Judged by his coat, the conditions must be very exceptional when a wo man's clothes do not Indicate her character. If they make her seem what she is not, -then Is' she quite true? Bcsu 'a -elrl' works I no reaon that she should not be well drfswd. It Is often the reason that she Is well flreswd. But to be well dressed Is tq He suitably dresed. and the clothes that are suitable for my Mdy of leis ure, the possessor of servants and car riages, are out of place In the ward robe of the woman who has nothing that corresponds with them. The girl Who expects to marry a. man who couldn't be driven nor coaxed Into evening clothes Is a very foollxh young person if she sets her hart upon low necks anij trains and high heJ. There are pretty clothes for her and she hould have them, but they must fit. Into her. on simple, unpretentious life. Ol"ths should not express a state t.t mind so mu"h as a quality of char acter. My ladv of le"ire leaning bark In her bos at the .ra may nut be so hapoy as the trim little woman far back in ?he balcony. And there is no rore f r, jc in sackcloth and ashes than in Cinderella's soot and cjnders. Because we feel, out of tune Is no reason that we have the right to carry the trouble any farther. There la no virture In ugly clothes. . - It sewns to me that a good woman always dreads to feel herself conspic uous. But sometimes a woman who Is very- busy with Just one Idea misses knowing a great deal that would have' enriched her life. It seems to me that the young ladles on the corner naa no time for reading. There were no books about except fashion maga tinea. I wonder what they talked about to the sturdy, handsome young men who walked places with them Not jf. their work, for that was all done In secret. . Sometimes the little hands wers stained .or burned, but even . the board ys were, not to know (hat the young ladies cooked! Not of the 'sewing could they venture to speak, and not of the neighbors who rarely dropped . in. ; any more.. .; And when the neighbors don't drop - in, what, a pity It Is. wmat a pity! i One of these young men was stru? gllng to establish a tinner's business of his own, and It seems to me now that the charming costumes of his pretty sweetheart puzzled hlrn a good deal and frightened him not a little. For how should he know that the girl was really the most economical and thrifty little woman alive? Poor, foolish little woman! It was the story of Cinderella all written backward, for there came a lucky day when, because of a broken bell wire, the prince and he was a prince opened the wrong door, or. If we are going to be quite truthful, the" right door, and there tnistead of a beruffied silk-lined young woman he saw his sweetheart In a gingham gown and long white apron cooking dinner! After that the tin shop became very firmly established and there was a new home In the old city, and I am glad that the poor, foolish princess waked from her enchantment and became beautiful lady of labor. Indeed, I finished the true little story be cause it was too bad to leave both my beautiful young ladies In the false position that the wicked enchantment had brought them to. The small com edy bordered close upon tragedy. It seem to me that pretense of any sort Is Inexcusable. The woman who con descends to it pays a very poor com pliment to her real self. To pretend to be what we are not Is to acknowl edge ourselves dissatisfied with what we are. There Is no reason why a girl should wear the badge of her office on her sleeve. The working girl, God bless her! May be and often times Is, more refined and cultured and dainty than many a society woman But ahe Is a working girl. She has not large sums of money to be spent for clothes, she does not attend the functions that make such apparel necessary. When she wears unsuit able finery she is a dear little Jack dan In peacock feathers. - It seems to me that no woman can ever be too carefully or too daintily gowned. But the girl whose clothes need , to give long service wants to wear wnai is inconspicuous, ni win not perish with the using and what she can afford to buy. A little type writer girl working In last season's bedraggled finery Is certainly not one of the world's beauty spots. It seems to me that we need to be a god desl simpler than ws are. More ourselves and less of what we are silly enough to Imagine Is better than we are. But If we are to avoid pretense on the one) sldo we muHt Khun bluntnes on the other. It Is not the worst that Is In u that we want In give to the world. It seems to me that we are honest when we. make ourselves really 'be worth while, and that we ere dishonest when we try to make ourselves seem worth while. ANECDOTES!

The wile of seats and boxes for Th Heir to the Hoorah" will begin at Hawley's to-morrow morning, and the pl.-iy will be recn at the Academy vf Music Thursduy night. This meritorious emanation from the pt n of Paul Armstrong author of "'al(my Jane," ''The Superstition of Sue," and olhcr dramatic succeiws, Is generally concede! to be the best comedy, with a Western locale, of rccriit 'production.

If alt the' good 'stirip told in a year by and about the preacher of North Carolina could be collected and printed at one time they would Ml to overflowing a paper equal l else to the Christmas number of The Observer. And this writer would eell this eat to buy a copy of the publi cation. Coming in contact with all kinds of people, entering Into all thetr Joys and Borrows, touching . human life at aU its point, practically, they store up a fund of experience from which may be drawn anecdotes with out number. "" And if something ridiculous - hap pens to one of the rraternity. he doea not hesitate to tell the Joke upon him self. Once when a prominent Meth odist minister of the State was not so .well known aa he now l. he was preaching his first sermon at a coun try church. It was a noble effort; the delivery of It caused much brain and body swat. We may pardon the young brother for thinking that he had made an Impression. To bring It ell t- a head and (who knows)? to hear something n;ce about himself said to the Lord, he called on good Brother O.. to lead in prayer. Brother G ? petition, after going the usual round of tnankfulness for preservation of life, and for dlvera temporal and spiritual blessings, and after praying for t'ne sick, the suf fering, the sorrowing and afflicted, was: "And, oh good Lord, blesa our dear young brother, wto has so ear nestly dispensed with thy Gospel this day." One -of the most eloquent preachers on the Elizabeth CUy. district came home from a flve-inne' drive to a country church one Sunday afternoon to find that the cook had failed .to come and that the cow was yet to toe milked. It lacked out three-quarters of an hour of time tor evening ser vice; forty-five minu:es in which to milk a cow, eat supper. and gather up the last threads of his discourse. Is It a wonder that' he hied him to the cow atall with little . patience? There was not even time to change his Hunday broadcloth and linen. I He set himself to his work with the vim -of a man who is going to wade through a disagreeable task , In a hurry. But," alas! it was a still autumn evening and th files were bad. Swish! began the cow's tall the dominie's face received-a stinging r icw. . A profane silenc reigned, broken only by the sound of the milk which t reamed in, ilio ia...e.'t. obe dlent to his relntlc9 grasp, Another blow In the race. .Another and another, and the minister's pa tlence was exhausted , He grasped the end of the animal's tall firmly In one hand, entwining the "bush strongly about his clerical fingers, and resum ed his milking. The flies grew worse. The cow at tempted- to defend herself and found her chief weapon held fast. With a courage born of desneratlon she kick ed over the bucket of milk (Hooding the Hunday broadcloth and linen) and made for the open . B"t she reckoned without the , Jom inle. Ho still held that tall and his Irish was up. ' He clung to his hold and pulled back with all his might. They reached the door. That cow should not es cape If the minister could prevent, As she cleared the sill, rie planted his feet firmly against It. clinched his teeth and held back. Irresistible force were pulling In opposite direc tions. Something must grve way; It was the cows tail. It came off at the end (not tho one nearest the ground, either), and down went the parson. Out went the cow. What tho preaches said or thought no one has been so venturesome as to guess. They do say1 that he was late to his evening service and that he preached with a far-off look of pain In his eyes. Ktrango to say. tin the samo town there lived a Baptist preacher who Is the chief figure in another true story. ' He Was up on the latest things in theology, but was lacking In knowl edge of the ways of barnyard cattle.

In a few days the calf became ac: customed to life In this world, got Its legu adjusted and began to try thvm. it was early spring and the air was full of a magic touch of life. The calf caught the challenge of the spring and In Its exuberance of feeling began to scamper across the lot tossing Its head and frisking Its little tall. It was good to be alive. The preacher was standing by the window of his study looking out to wards the barnyard. He hnd never seen a playful calf. To his frlghten .'d mind its Joyous antics were strange and to bo feared. Heavens! It must be mad. No sane calf would act that way it has none of the calm dignity and sober equlll trlum of Jts mother, calmly chewing her cud In the fence corner nearby But, horrors! If the cnlf Is mad It Is dangerous. It will attack Its mother and poison her. It la even now making In her direction. As soon as this horrible thought penetrated his consciousness, he leap ed from the window, picked up a club and ran towards the lot. The calf saw him and pktyfully Hung Its head down and ran towards the gate through which he had entered. As It came toward him, the preacher squared himself and raised hi weap on. As the calf approached, he dealt It a frensled blow over the head It rolled over Instantly, gave him a last playful look and was still, u was dead, quite dead. .And all for no oth er sin than that It ttu celebrating its entrance Into this great new world by a little snortlvcness. But the preach er did not know. . There Is a certain preacher now liv ing near Charlotte who will always have a vivid recollection of a man whom we will call Smith, for conven ience aaks. It was the young pas tor first charge' and he wa a stranger In a strange land. Brother Smith, a member of the official board, met him at the train cod carried him and, his family to the house set apart for their use. No sooner hed they arrived than Brother, Hmlth'a wagon drove up. loaded down with house hold supplies. He spent tne greater part of the day informing- h's future pastor of the spiritual condition of the church at large, but saying little about his own state. The next day was Sunday and the preacher occupied hta pulpit for the first time. Tly church was full. Not a man did he know but Brother And a partner in our business selects them. i ; .. - ' ..- .

McMulian. a good friend of The Observer and of Orover Cleve land, tells of another preacher, this time a colored brother, who came to grief under conditions similar to the above. This very eloquent preacher had in his congregation on one occa sion an old mun who was distinguish ed not so much for h'.s piety as for his love for the cup that cheers. "He would not do much Id church work: one thing he would never dopray In public. This his pastor did not know. Before going to church on this Sab bath the old man had had Just enough of the offering of the Kdenton bars to mnke hltn feel warm-hearted and mellow as to his spirits. The par son's discourse agected him deeply. He punctuated It with such frequent nods, grunts, amens and other signs of approval, that the preacher thought he was making an Impression, and warmed to his task. His enthusias tic listener responded whole-heartedly and when the end was reached seem ed Just on the verge of giving vent to his pent-up emotion In characteris tic way. He waa half standing In his seat, his hands raised as In benedic tion, his whole countenance beaming. The preacher seised nls opportunity and called on the old man to pray, instantly his hands dropped as though paralysed. The beatific expression on his face gave way to ons of pain ed surprwe as he turned toward the pulpit and said In utter disdain: "There's where you played hell." S. B. U. ODD ITtKAKS OP THK riUNTEirS PEVIL, Poor little r-evllf How did you get your name? For generally the article thus known. Is an Inoffensive country boy. who Is wrestling with the typ1". and striving to make good sense, and straight EnslHh out of miserably bad copy. We find him with freckled face and puckered brow, smudging that face with Ink aa he knocks off a fly. now and then, saylnfg .under his breath, "dog-gone Ihe man that wrote this, he ought to go to night school, or have a fly a-rrawlln, where he can't knock him oft." Altogether the print er's Devil Is a comical fellow and grows, nto a useful typo In time, but the mistakes he makes, with the aid of the more modern linotype man, are Jur arnaxlnr, and 'some of them are funny Indeed. Think of a marriage notice reading thus:' "The bride nns pectlve Is a member of one of thr old est families in the State, a niece of the Hon. . 4he is a splendid young Boekawsy Beach Kallroad. The young man of splendid character, etc" We hare heard of a bride's being called a "lily of the valley" with eyes that sparkle like the dew on Hermon or the Itoee of Sharon, all bloom and sweetne'." But "A Itockaway Beach Railroad." Is a simile we haven't thought f la connection w ith .a bride that' Is original. The following advertisement seems to have struck the funny side of our iK'Vil. It should have read: "Wanted A young man' of Industrious habits, good manners and a- single eye to bust nous, none other need apply." When our Devil got through with it our as tonlahed readers saw this In display typo: "Wanted A young man of in digent habits, perllte, and only one eye for business. No two-eyed man need apply." The resutt of that ad. wns a gath ering of all tha one-eyed ellglblcs and insliglbles In that community, and the madedlctlona of that merchant were full of sulphur. Evidently that paper was closely read and the advertising department should have received quite boost. Apropos "of reading ads, the story is told or the lamented and betoved Henry Grady, that when he was publishing a paper at Rome, Ga In his early struggling days, he applied to the largest business house In the town for an ad., telling them "they should take at least a whole column." . The reply -was, "Oh, nobobdy reads your paper Harry." "They don't hey! We will see about that." , , Orady returned to his office and wrote off a display ad. reading some thing like this: , "Wanted: One thousand cats! Ap ply at Corner of Public Square." About sunrise on the second day af ter the wonderful ad. appeared the town begun to be alive with people. They cams afoot, on mules. In wagons and oxcarts, and they , brought cats galore. The scene around that store was lively and ludiclous, the entrance was Jammed with people, and nearly every man, woman and child had a cat or kitten. "Here, buy my cat." cries one. "And mine," called a dozen voices. "What's all this hubbub about?"' Questioned the proprietor, whose place was then being taken by storm. "I don't want any cats." "Yes yer do. Harry Grady's paper says so. Read that," and the display ad. was shown to him.' "Gracious alive! Harry Grady hasi 'played the mischief.' I don t want any 'cats. Take these things out for the "Lord's sake." ' Harry Grady was standing on the nigged edge of the crowd, laughing as he could laugh, and the discomfited merchant told him he believed "people did read his1 paper, and he would give him a good ad. "forjt year." There-i was a disgruntled crowd In Roma that day and more stray cats were ' evi dence there for some time tha.b ever before or since. The Devil who got this off did not miss the sense of the copy very far al though he did not stick to the text. - Annonncement-"Mr. and Mrs. Smart are very much obliged to their-' many friends for their good wishes "in this their wedding day. It Is th-ir purpos to have many returns. D.

It Is their pur pose to have many returns (we do verily) unless Cupid's court do ad journ- spite of sin and the Devil." We could multiply the freaks of our Devil tut await further developments, as he Is always alive and kicking, and Is ever his ow n original self. WM. lAURIK HIM ' Floral Manas, N. C, Jan. 21. 190$. .
