Quito a number of sensiblo girls (sayl • • an American weekly) liavo glory boxes, . and •whether nn individual girl means to liavo a husband, a career, or both, slio ■ 'gradually accumulates an asset of very . 'real importance, ■■ ■_ Ono such girl gives tho experiences of several. Sho expended a little money on a good serviceable chest that w<as neither polished, or brass nailed, or elaborately hinged, or anything elso but a well made, rospcetable, long, low box which made au admirable settco in lior bed-sitting room. There is an aromatic scent about most . ot our timbers that makes them siieeially suitable for chest making. Tho purchase of this particular chest induced four or . fivo other girls to buy similar ones. Somo of them hold embvro trousseaus, whilo . others aro gradually accumulating tho house and table linen, the curtains, cushion slips and bed spreads that can mako . the-poorest rooms homelike. A little good, china is added from timo to time, and ono or two of tho more ambitions girls ' even buy themselves a little silver from time to'ttme, and it is wonderful how , steadily the little store grows. No matter what tho future has for a girl, a few good personal possessions add materially not only to her comfort, but., to tho sense of her importance in tho eyes of such necessary people as mothers-in-law and landladies.
