WEALTH VS. HAPPINESS The streets are crowded, people pushing and jolting one another about in their impatient effort to gain a better view of the huge parade. Many have been standing in the same spot for hours,4tather than give up their place. The sun beats down unbearably hot on the pavement, and all are irritated and cross from weariness. Ah! now the parade looms in view, and the people all along the boulevard shout their relief. Just at this moment, a magnificent limousine glides smoothly up to the curb. The eyes of the crowd turn instinctively toward its gbaming coat of paint and beautiful nickel work dazzlingly bright in the rays of the sun. In it sits a chauffeur immaculately dressed in uniform, and on the back seat sits a beautiful rirl The girl gets out, nonohelantly dismesses the chauffeur, and with a disdainful toss of her head, joins a group of fashionably dressed young people who are standing apart from the rest of the crowd. They evidently have been expecting her, for to meet her. they all hasten The parade swings around the corner to the stirring strains of a military band, and the crowd's attention is momentarily diverted. One, however, in the crowd had eyes only for the fashionable group apart from the rest. She seemed to have suddenly lost inter- est in the parade. Mary was a very attractive girl with brown curly locks and very blue eyes. Just now her blue eyes were watching wistfully the new arrival and her companions. Yes, she admitted to herself, she actually hated that other girl. Hated her because she was so poised, so sure of herself, so obviously wealthy and free from cares. Her very clothes and appearance distinguished her as a person of high social rank. Mary was not usually a discontented girl. On the contrary, she was a very gay, optimistic young person. Ordinarily, she wouldn't have given the other girl's arrival a thought. But tired and irritated. The long hours in the sun had today, she was entirely dispelkd her accustomed gaiety. To Mary, who had lived her whole life in poverty, wealth and social position meant everything. Well, to be truthful, it couldn't be actually be called poverty, for she had never been cold or hungry, and she had never had to from lack of money. But she had never been free to sho liked without first considering the expense and suitable clothes to wear. At this particular time, disappointed because of unfortunate circumstances. was to be the most important activity of the entire really suffer come and go as whether she had she was terribly On Friday evening school year, the annual Junior WProm0. All the girls were buying beautiful dresses for the occasion, and she couldn't.

doctor's bill. Now she would have to wear her old faded blue one. She gazed wistfully at the wealthy girl in her stylish and extremely expensive clothes. How wonderful it must be to have such wonderful clothes, and to be able to go anywhere or do anything she wished without thought of expense. Probably the lucky girl had traveled all over the globe, Nice, Monte Carlo, and countless other interesting places which most people never can see. For the next few minutes her attention was turned to the parade which at this time was passing by on the streets, bright uniforms, gaily decked floats, and gay martial music. She watched it until it passed from sight around a bend in the street, and then she turned to go. The little group of young society folks who had attracted her attention throughout the parade were now making their way through the crowd toward the spot where two very flashy and up-to-date road- sters were parked. As she passed by them on the sidewalk, bits of their gay chatter came to her ears. They were planning a house party at a popular beach, and each was enthusiastically entering in- to the plans. What fun they were going to have! As Mary walked along toward home, she thou ht how hard her lot was because she wasn't wealthy, and couldn't go to house parties, and enter into society like those other girls. However, Mary was not accustomed to brooding long, and as soon as she arrived home into the gay company of her two brothers, she forgot all about it. But that night, as she was preparing for bed, her thoughts re- turned to the afternoon's episode. Nwhy must some girls have so much while others have so littlc?H she asked herself indignantly as sho climbed into bed. But she was very tired, and hardly had her head touched the pillow when she was asleep. That night Mary had a very strange but beautiful dream. It was about twelve o'cloek and she was walking alone in a sub- urb of the city. At first she didn't recognize her surroundings, and then suddenly she found herself walking along a high bluff of the ocean in the residential colony of society where the beautiful residences of the wealthy people stood. How beautiful they looked in the silver moonlirht, huge mansions set far back from the highway, with their beautiful terraces sloping to the ocean! All were aglow with light and the strains of dance music wafted on the night air, came to her ears. A party evidently was in progress. She stood there for e while listening to it, imagingng the people within. She must have stood there for quite a while, for suddenly the 8.
