A Change of Air

by Katharine Fullerton Gerould

Anyone can make a will by which his possessions are divided after his death but Cordelia Wheaton was ahead of the game for she willed away her fortune, leaving herself just enough to live comfortably on, in middle life. Mrs. Gerould takes this amusing cue and shows what happened next to those upon whom fortune had suddenly smiled, perhaps a bit awry.
