Concerning Very Old Saying Which Declares That
Many Sensible People Go on Doing Same Old Things

generally blind is the folly of follow !
ing impulses rather than reason in
word or act; no experience seems great
enough to impress it effectually upon
our minds; we suffer, we realize our
mistakes; we make resolutions but the
very next experience finds US just as
foolish and just as unprepared as the
last one.
We have way of taking each in
dividual instance as though it were
solitary episode in no way related to
the past or the future; we seem to
think we live in disconnected spots,
though in reality life is a chain of
interlaced links, each act inexorably
bearing it's own consequences.
DO what we will we can't slough
off our past, as a snake does it's skin,
and whether we learn from them or
not our experiences must affect our
characters and our lives SO is it not
the height of folly not to take up
these parallel strands and look at them
with the critical eye required for
genuine comparison, SO as to extract
from them the utmost of advantage?

TN George Elliots novel, Middle
II march," she refers somewhere to
q "the strands of experience lying
side by side in our lives and never
compared"-a thought which is we'll
worth considering bit for it explains
to a certain extent our ability to pass
through one experience after another
without any apparent gain whatso-
ever.
"There is an old saying which de-
c1ares that experience teaches every
one except a fool" yet we, who are
proud of our good sense, just keep on
doing the same old silly things day
after day, making the same mistakes,
bearing the same resulting pain, sim
ply because we do not compare the
strands of experience which lie side
by side in our lives.
Naturally, not two incidents occur
is why we fail to realize the similarity
but fundamentally there are few vari-
ants.
1t is said that there are only about
10 or II story plots; even fewer origi
nal ideals; only 40 jokes (39 of which
can't be told to LADIES', yet the in
genuity of the author or the clever
ness of the joke-teller, so DISCUSSES
the paueity of material that we don't
recognize our old acquaintances in
their new dresses.
And exactly in this way does life
take our old experiences an dturn them
at a new angle throws another coll
ored light upon them, twists the
strands into fresh knot, and we stop
aghast at their strangeness instead of
standing still for a quiet study which
would enable us to compare and con-
trast and then to recognize.
Can't you recall very definitely the
pain you suffered through your es-
arrangement from that old friend of
yours, brought about through the Bit
terest sort of letter written in a burst
of anger? Perhaps she had written
half poking fun at you about some
thing which maybe you had made her
the confidant, Had she said the things
to you, face to face, her smile and her
charm and her grace would have made
the fun-poking go off stunningly, but
in cold, gray type, well, that was an
