France has an annual goodness show
at which the French academy awards
prizes to the persons who have presented
remarkable examples of self sacrifice
and devotion to other people. sometimes,
in fact. to people whom it would have
been better not to help at all. but who
ought to have been left to take the con-
sequence of their own misdoing. How
ever, the academy does not inquire into
that very closely The prize winners
are almost without exception women,
and the odd part about it is that the
men do not appear to be at all Jealous
Of them and never strive to win the
prizes themselves They seem quite
willing that the female sex should mo-
nopolize all the goodness there is. Funny
isn't it? :,
