THE OvERW0RKED WOMAN.
A Well Meaning Friend Who
Causes Much Trouble.
rom the London Chronicle.


Some persons will get ON your nerves
terribly, though you have a guilty con-
science for such feelings. Chief among
them is the man or woman who forces
kindness upon you.
Never do we cry Save us from our
friends" more fervently than when a
friend is doing us a favor that we do
not want. Kindness under such condi-
tons is often more exasperating than
neglect.
These ofiicious benefactors are all too
common. Their goodness to others is
their long suit, and they play it inces-
sanity, no matter how they bore
Do not get in the habit of being a
benefactor unless you are sure help is
wanted. Otherwise you lay yourself open
to snubs and are sure to feel the world
unappreciative.
You may be just dying to so in and
help your neighbOr who seems so hard
worked, but do not offer such help unless
you are sure it will not be resented
Perhaps the woman Is working hard
to drown some grief, or her doctor max
have prescribed housework, or she is
supremacy sensitive and would prefer be-

ing overworked to having her friends
know how burdened she is.
These officiOusly kind women stir UP a
lot Of trouble as we'll as irritation. Many
a good soul who feels she is doing q
kindness would be Mortified to know that
the object of that kindness feels herself
victim.
Have you never seen q man looking
like q martyr because his wife ruffles his
hair or smoothes his forehead under the
impression that she is helping his bad
headache?
And the dread that trails around those
kind matrons who insist upon clearing
up their husbands desks or brushing
their silk hats.
Who has not auaked before the Of
fc!ously kind neighbor who is always
lust running in to help you bit NO
spot in the house is sacred from her
prying kindness. You live in constant
dread Of the shabbiness and makeshifts
she will unearth.
There are many ways in which the
well-wisher may offend unknowingly.
Here are few Of them:
BY insisting upon packing a friend
trunk, or by pressing upon her the sery-
ice of your maid for such services. Few
women care to reveal the secrets Of their
wardrobes even to friendly eye
BY forcing a poorer friend into obliga-
tons which she does not feel she can ac-
cept Kindness to the poor and proud
must never be pressed with indiscre-
ton.
BY running upstairs in a friend S
house unbidden. You think to give her
a pleasant surprise, but there are few
friendships that can stand the strain
of such officious intimacy.
BY being oyer-watchful of the invalid
friend. There is no kindness that is more
resented than the coddling that GER
tain type of woman gives to every one
who she thinks is not strong.
BY pushing unduly the girl you like
into popularity. Not only is such kind
ness embarrassing to the girl, but it
gives her the idea that you think she has
not charm enough to hold her own un-
assisted.
BY being too assiduous in attentions.
Most of us like a breathing space even
in kindnesses. To have some one con-
stantly on the watch to see we are not
neglected is almost more irritating than
to be left to shift for oneself.
Never to know what favor is to be
thrust upon us next is a persistent kind
of kindness that is as exasperating as
1t is officious.
