It is wisely suggested by someone that the man who thinks only of himself and is forgetful of his obligations to, others doe? not count for much either in this world or the next. A purely selfish man who wants everything and gives nothing, lives i& the suburbs of a purgatory and will not have to far when he dies. To recognize your rights and ignore your duties is to pursue a policy that angels deglore. and which makes devils rejoice. The man who seeks for this world’s goods exclusively, whose chief possession is a bank account, will find himself out of place in heaven, a stranger in a strange land. Almost everything a woman does or says or wearsis magnified, observes an exchange, by someone, into an indication of character. She wears a certain style of shoe or wears it in a certain way and someone discovers that she is vain and a spendthrift. She wears her gloves out in the thumb and someone else discovers that she is cruel or something else. She has a fondness for lace? and she is dubbed old fashioned; she indulges in study and is called masculine. The poor thing can wear nothing without having someone consider her doing so portentous. Her rings are no exception to the rule. The professional finder of character in trifles can can give reasons of a woman’s disposition and history from a sight of her jewel tray. '• f. 7 e .
