plaud the selfish woman. In fact, l will
say even more. / will say that I think
the harm done by the selfish woman,
great as it is, is not so great as that
done by the unseltish one''
The bachelor only gasped, and his
friend went on.
Zone of my friends is a thoroughly
unselfish woman. Her idea of dividing
an orange is to give the orange and
keep the peel for herself. Well, in the
house where she lives arc five of the
most selfish people in this town-her
husband and her four children. And
they are selfish simply and solely for
the reason that she always thinks of
them before herself, so that they have
grown to have an exaggerated idea of
their own Importance. If her husband
has toothache she may be dying ill
herself, but she will get up and walk
around with him. She forgives him ev-
erything because she understands him
so well and sympathizes with his weak
nesses. Result. he feels he can do
about as he pleases, and he does. II
some day that little woman were to
assert herself believe the family
would drop dead. If they didn't do
that they would certainly consider
themselves the most injured people in
the world. Now isn't she doing an
enormous amount of harm? The great
est deeds in this world have been done
by men for utterly selfish women.
1.-THE generous woman, on the other
hand. has hardly ever provoked
great deed. The more she has given
the less she has received from the be-
ginning of the world to this day.
''Why not. then. make rule for wo-
men," put in the bachelor-"be unself-
ish to your own sex and be selfish to
the men?"
Because that wouldn't be always
fair. There are some men who are so
big and strong in their natures that
they never could be selfish under any
circumstances. They are the ones who
make allowances for womans weak
nesses, who give continually, almost
mechanically. because they are tie

cabman standing outside Colchester
railway station to take her into the
town.
The sum being agreed upon, the dame
returned into the station and soon re-
appeared with two parrots in cages,
which she handed up to the cabnan.
Again she journeyed to the platform
and brought out two cats. A third
trip she made. bringing back daintilv
dressed fox terrier, and a fourth ex-
pedition was interrupted by cabby ex-
claiming:
