UP to a certain point then, vanity is vir.
tue; beyond that point is becomes vice
In the case of the girl in the car 1t had de-
generated INTO vice, and had in fact, become
passion She thirsted after admiration as a
man does for strong drink, and she was willing
to go to any lengths to obtain it.
She was totally unconscious of the fact that
her behavior was ill-bred, or that her loud con-
versatlor was annoying to her fellow-passengers
She did not realize that instead OF admrinc her
they were looking upon her with contempt
She intoxicated with her own undcniable
good looks, that she thought everybody else must
either also be intoxicated with them or must be-
come so at once She looked upon herself az the
centre of attraction, and would have considered
n suggestion that other people did not think so
as the height of obsurdity.

mon that she had lost all conception OF
fitting her dress to the occasion She was dc
ternned to her prettiest clothes all the
time, no matter how out of place they might be-
and was now going to work attired as if for
matinee.
Her vanity, instead of being useful to her, had
become real detriment, for she did not under
stand that it was much part of the privacy
OF her own room as her powder puff, her box of
cold cream, or any other accessory of her toilet.
