Greatest Fortunes Have Been Made in Re-

It's hard to be content with what APP
pears to be our humble lot, We yearn
to paddle in the pond that's just a lit
tie way beyond, we're like the little
mule that goes with hay suspended
DER his nose. forgetting that the the
fairest peach is always just beyond our
reach. We point to one whose life
appears to be replete with joys and
cheers and sigh that If our lot was such
we'd never moan or grumble much. And
yet we know that he in turn for greater
happiness doth yearn and where's the
mortal with the ease, the wealth and
joys that quite appease? And should
the blessed Fates bestow upon some
mortal here below a dazzling wealth OF
gems and gold he'd weep to learn that
once of old some other had had some
what more. And so it seems to go. Be
fore we search for joy. it's tough, we
know we'll never get enough.

is wrong, especially If the girl has
been living at home all the time be-
fore the announcement" The ladies
of the Woman's Guild exchanged
glances. mo respectable girl does
such things. They don't do it," con-
tinued Mrs. Pearse with toss Of
her head.
THE girl has undoubtedly put her
self in questionable position and
therefore needs the help of all the
solid matrons of the town." said the
doctors wife. after a silence.
IF you mean that you think we
ought to treat this girl as if her con-
duct was perfectly proper, and invite
her to our homes and make her a mem
Der of our clubs and all that just be-
cause Clyde Jaynes brings her to our
town to live. l for one am opposed to
it from the start" snapped Mrs.
Pearse.
THE fact that she married Clyde
Jaynes is -lot the point in question.
| She is a woman under a cloud, and
believe we should try and make her
/ path as easy as possible. Women are
noted for being uncharitable to their
sisters and l mean to do all l can to
prove the charge false" replied Mrs.

Il think women who do even ques
tionable things should be made to suf-
fer for it. If girls think there will be
no notice taken of their conduct; that
they can do what they please and hold
up their heads the same as ever,

ed Nell Morton. This girl is coming

that we may not approve of the way
she married seems to me to have moth

"You notice the date of the mar
riage was not made public" was the
sneering rejoihder.
Didn't you invite Clyde Jaynes tc
the party you gave last month";" ask
ed Nell.
Yes, the marriage was not ever

at the eye of her needle with hei

Nell Morton reached for the needle.
This marriage is the best thing

Sc me years. Whatever the wife has
DONE 1t is certain that she is as good
as he is" Nell looked at her friend
in surprise. It was not like Olive tc

wered.
"If we are going to constitute our
selves judges to mete out punishment
to wrong doors, let us be consistent
