THE WOMAN WHO TRIED TO BE GOOD by EDNA FERNER
An unknown narrator relates the story of a woman who lived alone in their town who dressed richly and acted differently, often attracting the attention of single men. False suspicions and dislike grew in her wake, and sensing this, the woman changed her ways, bought a house on a nice street and began attending church- but the community didn't change their attitudes or try to get to know her. Its a good morality tale, in that you shouldn't judge anyone by what others think and say, and think and find out for yourself. You may be surprised.
