The Girl Who Wanted the Earth

(Copyright, 1917, by The Bell Syndicate, Ine.)

Even When Constance was -a small girl in plg-tafls and short skirts, I used to hear her playmates say of her: "Oh, the trouble with her is she । wants the earth!" ; An she grew older, the phrase continued. It wasn’t that she was particularly selfish, or at least selfish in a petty way, but she simply wanted, and tried to-demand the impossible. She was never disposed to make any physical, or mental effort to get it She deemed It sufficient for her to say she wanted certain things—and then expected them to be handed to her on a silver platter. Generally her ever-in-dulgent parents tried to humor her,' and almost broke their necks in their efforts to satisfy her neverending whims. I remember once when she was HI in the winter—not a serious illness, either —she took it into her head she would like some fresh strawberries. She got them, too, although they cost her father a dollar and a half a box and no end Of trouble. Always she wanted more than other girls, seemingly accepting It as part of her natural prerogative that she should have it, and that she was justified in asking It, just because It pleased some passing fancy. The trouble was that she was not being taught to look at life in the right perspective, that she was being allowed to grow Into womanhood without any sense at all of the proper proportion of things, and of their relation to her, and what was more important, her relation to them. She just viewed life as a procession of things to be wanted—and promptly delivered to her, without any effort on her part. Ofcourse; it was very pleasant for her, this hot-house view of life, and very unfair, too, for her father was not a rkh mau, and if ever it was necessary for her to make her own living sho would be very unfitted for the hard blows of the world. For life is not simply a succession of pleasure, and good, and pleasant, and nice things—and we can never make it so, no matter how hard we may try to paint it In those attractive colors. Every day doesn’t *nd in a beautiful sunset—nor every day begin with a gorgeous burst of color peeping over the hills. Finally Constance was married. Sha was hardly nineteen, and no more suited to enter the duties of a wife than the average school girl of sixteen. But she thought herself very much in love, and so her parenta, as usual, gave their consent, and ran up a lot of bills to give her the sumptuous wedding on which »he had set her heart. She and her

(Wife of the Famous Evangelist)

young husband, who was even morn in love with her. If that were possible, went to live tn a cosily furnished bungalow, and life apparently was to continue in another series of pleasures asked, and delivered for Constance. But fortunately for her, her husband was a man, who had fought his own way up from the position of printer's devil to the city editor’s desk of the town's leading paper, and he knew what it was to battle for what was coming to him, sometimes with his back to the wall. He began to see the defect—• weakness, rather than a fault in Constance, and, because he loved her with all the depths of a strong, clean man, he cast about for a way to make her see a new vision of life. First, he Interested her In the newsboys, and' the carriers, who gathered at the alley doors of the press room every afternoon for their papers, and by arousing her interest in them, inspired her with the idea of organizing a Newsboys’ Club. He figured if Constance could once be interested tn doing things for other people instead of always asking other people to do things for her, he could gradually bring a new angle into her life. He watched the experiment curiously—the experiment of which his girl wife had absolutely no idea. A few months later he suggested to her it would be a wonderful thing for the Woman’s Club of the city, of which she was a member, to establish a recreation Summer camp, where the poor children of the city could be taken during the hot months of the year. Constance worked on the project as she had never worked on anything in her life. The next plan of the kind came not from him but from her. She suggested a public Thanksglving dinner, where all of the»hungry ones of the city could be fed, and following it, a Community Christmas Tree. On Christmas Eve the young husband, wise beyond his years, drew his wife into his arms, and told her the truth of what he had done during the last twelve months, and why he had done it. She was silent for so long that he Mt » sudden fear, but when she lifted her face, all radiant with misty happiness, to bls, he knew that his fear had been groundless. "Oh, I am so glad, Phil,” she whispered. “I wondered why I was so much happier than I had ever been before in my life. And now I know! ” “But I still want the earth!” she said a few minutes later. "I want it—that others may enjoy it, and get out of it asenuch as I do!” (M)
