Contrariety.
Why do the things we want most tarry latest ? Why does one’s bread always fall butterside down ? Why does the storm always snap the most beautiful oak ? Why does the baby always act worse when you have company ? Why does it always rain on inaugural,, anniversary, and picnic days? Why are those who scoff at things; generally so often superstitious ? Why is one’s name always found in the last corner of a pocket handkerchief? Why does an accidental exchange of umbrellas always result for the worst ?
