is open in saying that she will never
take pills or strong cathartics again,

<<THE- trouble with that woman is that she just makes too hard work
of living"
a woman whose truly marvellous ability to find flaws IN the most alluring-
i hawless project, and obstacles in the most apparently unobstructed
path, nd to create difficulties and alarms and worries out of thin air at
any time, we had been discussing.
Don't you like the ladys Characterization?
Don't you think it is a very clever description of that large class of
people Whom we a III know who aref oreyer spelling not only other peo-
pies but also their own happiness by this insistence upon thinking up
dtsagreeable contingencies and possible difficulties at all times and under
A spring holiday is close at hand. You-a member of a family
whose happiness is lessened by n Of these hard living persons-suggest
that it would be a fine lark for the whole family to shut up the house and
thissc scheme except, of course, this hard liver. While everyone else is
enhusing she is silent, and inquiry soon brings out the fact that she
Aunt Maria said she might be In town 0 n that day and what would she
think if she came out and found nobody at home? She will stay and
herself for her whims, but the end usually is that the comfort and happi-
ness of the resto the company are the real sacrifice In vain you
argue that Aunt Maria lever visits you without sending some more def
mite word. The hard lived person hugs her obstacle to her bosom and
the result is, that rather than leave her home alone, the excursion is
given up. Needless to say Aunt Maria does not come.
Again this same overworked person comes home from a calling tour
quite down in the dumps. The So-and-Sos acrosst the street are going to
move and she is quite sure that some horrid people will get in there and
spoil the neighborhood. Needless to say the lev nefghbors turn out de-
hghtfu1 people. -
On another occasion you find her all worked up because she is SO
AFRAID Mrs, N. will misconstrue what she said about Mrs R. and make
to say Mrs. M. never thinks about the matter a second time.
If you go about it in a simple, natural, optimistic way living is quite
a n easy business.
But if you really are bent upon doing so. you can make mighty hard
work of living.

Truly it doesn't pay.
