Excerpt from The Smith College Monthly, Vol. 27: October, 1919 No, I'm not, Myra denied. I'm so human it hurts. Being charitable wasn't even good. I just couldn't bear for others to suffer; it made me feel bad. I'm so happy now, I feel like I'd like to stretch out my arms and hug the world. Just think! I'll have electric lights and a kitchen sink and a gas stove to cook on. And pretty furniture and nice clothes! And people will be going and coming all the time! And lights more shin ing than the stars! And a movie sometimes! Oh, Jane, and as she breathed the words, her face might have been the model for a portrait Of Rapture.
