Here was that wife Stella Loras now she was; and here was their daughter Janet. She was seventeen, and she had been graduated rie from a high school in Wisconsin last week, and had accompanied her mother yesterday to Chicago to lie beside her mother today when Stella, the first wife, sat at the trial of Myrtle, the second wife.

With me the people who come first are always those to whom I have any obligation whatsoever. Anything that is done for me is constantly on my mind and I am on the lookout to repay. But look about you and you will observe the most inconceivable indifference on the part of most otherwise decent people to what they owe to others. Indeed the code seems to be to cultivate those from whom some advantage may be forthcoming and neglect those to whom we are indebted. The answer to it all is to put yourself out for nobody; it doesnt pay. The above lament was received by an international writer of note, who answers as follows . It must have been an unusually unfortunate chain of experiences that gave this woman such an unhappy slant on human nature.

Frequently a kindness makes its mark but time passes before occasion presents itself to show appreciation, or to reciprocate. After all, if we think enough of people to put ourselves out for them, as our reader says, there must be a certain amount of faith. If we do things for others only because we want to do them and find a certain satisfaction in it, we have nothing to lose.
