Eccentricity Means Vanity More
often Than Genius.
1t would be interesting 10 know how
many people experience within them
selves a struggle not to be what is
ralled "odd." An eccentric young ac-
auaintance who reveled in gowns and
hats of bizarre patterns, never by any
chance got anything like anybody
Rises. She got up in the middle of
the night. saddled her pony and took
long, lonely rides. She dissected mice
and all sorts of available animals, re-
6oicing in the shrieks of the 'other
girls" for the sake of shocking whom
she doubtless INDUCED her whims. She
carried little snakes around in her
pockets. Finally she became engaged
10 a man whom she had known only
two days, and was married TO him
within week. IT is not strange that
nfter living with her husband less than
year they were divorced. Then, with
h broken heart, which had its use as
m antidote for "oddity," she retired
with her caprices 10 an upper room
in her fathers house, and the outside
world heard little more from her.
1t is quite worth while for parents TO
consider, when they find "oddity" crop
ping out in a child, whether his little
foibles are not cherished by him as
much through n desire 10 make him
self conspicuous, 10 "show on" as from
n spontaneous and irresistible impulse.
Odditv is a thousand times oftener

md all the common sense in the fam
ily may well be brought 70 bear upon
its destruction.
One OF the chief accomplishments to
be taught the young is what the clever
author of the "Petr.e Estate" calls
.The art of living with Others" The
odd person is apt 10 miss this alto
gether. and thus be shut out from those
sweet, common blessings which should
bloom daily In every peaceful and we'll
ordered household. IL may be COM
plained that conventionality, if too
strictly insisted upon, warps and de-
grades our civilization. This is un-
doubtedly true, but, on the other hand,
"A certain amount of conformity to rou-
tine, and 10 what IS known as good
manners" must be exacted from each
individual, or the happiness Of large
numbers will be impaired. Conformity

cradle degree of uniformity as well.
There are none so good to live with
