PREJUDICE OVERCOME

SADIE KIEKINTVELD.

When the idea was given out of daily passing along our copies of the Monitor, the writer was at first puzzled to know where to dispose of hers. Then the thought came that this would be just the very best way of sending an occasional remembrance to distant friends, and far superior to the postal card plan; so a list was made out, and a bundle of wrappers addressed, that each copy might be sent promptly to the one whose need it would best meet. The plan worked beautifully, and the papers were usually received with interest and always with courtesy.

Then came a rather disconcerting experience. In a letter from an intimate friend mention was made of a former schoolmate, saying that she was in poor health. The Iatter's name was immediately added to the secondary circulation, but the wise counsel to let our friends know that the paper is coming and by whom it is sent, was entirely forgotten, the sender's address but no name being on the newspaper wrapper. One day came a very curt letter. Who was sending the paper, and what was her object in doing so? For a moment a hurt feeling and a sense of resentment threatened to take possession of the sender. Perhaps she had made a mistake, after all.
