Preys Upon Her Children

pUT when her children are old enough to under
- stand, she preys upon their devotion with the
wonderful tact and perseverance of the perfectly
selfish and generally reaps the rich reward of being
adored with blind. unreasoning devotion by her
children. When, however, these children grow
into maturity they realize the graft they have been
victims of, and determine then and there to be
unseltlsl mothers and fathers in order to have
their chldrens lives different. If they persist in
this determination they live to turn aghast from the
sight of their children's seishness and lack of
appreciation
Therefore, it would seem that nobody but
philosopher OF hundred years experience has any
business to be born and experiment with human
hte unless he IS prepared to be most bitterly dis
appointed.
Is it the natural contrarness of human nature
that makes the child left to and governesses
adore the mother he seldom sees, while another
woman who takes in sewing in order give her son
his schooling is treated with ingratitude end
tempt?
Observation of the cases which come under our
daily notice would seem to point to sefshness as
remunerative virtue, instead of the vice copy
books used to suggest. 1t certainly is true if the
selfish man IS generous, hoping for gratitude; for
knows well the free handed philanthro-
pist the extent of the bitterness of real ingrat-
tude
In fact there is an allegorv which tells of how all
the Virtues gathered together for a symposium
on human nature and all were acquainted except
two. The two who had to be introduced to each
other were Benevoence and Gratitude.
Now, the modification of necessity endured by
the generous may all be avoided if one can manage
to be consistently selfish.

sona1ly run stories where the heroine sacr-
feed herself for the hero, and where the hero
gave up life of to go forth and prepare a
home in a bowling wilderness for the love whom his
family despsed. Nowadays you will occasionally
read a tragedy wherein the hero killed himself
for his love; but they don't give up their comfort
and their pleasure any more, because that sort
of story would make even debutante grin. We
live in an age of realism and we will have truthful

Selfish Life
Selfshness is an alternative sin. 1t generally
skips a generation. For example, a thoroughly
unselfsh mother brings up brood of children to
be selfish beasts, who prey upon her devotion until
she sinks, drained and exhausted and unappre-
cated, into her grave. They do not prey upon each
other, because selhshness is an orchid which does
not thrive upon itself. But they go forth into the
world, wanderers until they find unschsh char
acters of the opposite when they mate, i1lstnc
lively and unintelectually as flower pollen propa-
gates
If the selfish one happens to be a woman, from a
selfish daughter she develops into selfish WIFI and
mother. But here the curious part of the
narrative. She did not appreciate her mothers
unselhsh devotion. She did not know it
there She accepted it matter of and
rewarded her mother by fault finding and callous-
ness. Ingrattude is salient attribute of the per-
fecty selfish. She loved herself too ardent1y to be
able to love her mother. And selfshness caused her
to hasten to find man whose devotion would fill
the gap left in her life by her mothers loss.
