CHARITY IT'S OWN REWARD.
Work for Results Which Can Never be
Obtained

One of the hardest and most discouT-
aging lessons to learn for those who love
their fellow men and desire to help them
Is the realization that thanks must not he
expected or gratitude looked for. In fact.
III many cases adverse criticism will bt
encountered, and often direct coudemna-
ton from the world at large. while the
objects themselves of the phlanthrope
effort certainly do not repay one by their
appreciation of the efforts made in their
behalf. One of the first principles of
humanitarian endeavor is tu learn to
work for the works sake. and not for
what it results in, which IS often disap-
pointing and depressing. \ woman who
has set a-gOing by her own personal en-
deayors more good work than any ndi-

your motives misconstrued, that is in

A Good Play.


Is the universal verdict accorded by ali
who have seen Thelma. which is an
nounced for presentation at the Monu-
mental Theatre, next Wednesday night.
In the great flood of dramatic food
rendered the jaded public few plays
meet with that hearty support sought
for so eagerly by those who exploit them
Not so with Thelma. for it has been
success from its initial performance. The
reason of this can readily be traced to
the fact that it is a most charming story
that has only been enhanced by its stag
ing. No one of Marie Corelli's books has
been more widely read, or afforded a
greater modicum of satisfaction to the
fiction loving public. 1t is dramatic, in
tense and coherent. 1t tells of love in
trigue and scheming villainy, but there
is vein of the humorous as well per-
meating it with telling effect. Thelma is
play to be remembered once seen.
