Hazel had no prejudices, but she shared Minnie's apathy with re- gard to self-improvement. They had no yearning to Digitized by Google 148 THE WORK-A-DAY GIRL join any kind of a ''class." They craved pleasure* and opportunity to exercise their feminine wiles to charm a mate. They would dearly have loved a hay- ride or a sleigh-ride, a candy-pull or a men's hat-trim- ming contest with its shrieks of superior feminine glee. They could have giggled coyly through " kiss- ing games," or played merri...ly at tableaux or charades; have bobbed for apples at Hallowe'en, or stalked in sheet and pillowcase, mystifying their best friends by comic devices.
