UNABLE TO SEE OURSELVES.

Yourself said the philosopher. 1T
Is fact that If people could be dupli.
Gated and could meet themselves in
the street very few would recognize
themselves. We look at ourselves
many times during the 365 days of the
year. We say our eyes are blue-or
brown, or whatever other color they
may be-our hair black. our chin
peaked, our forehead high. We know
every lineament OF our face from con-
slant study and attention, yet when we
turn away from the mirror we cannot
conjure up a picture Of ourselves.
We know just bow our friends. and
even acquaintances, look. In fancy. we
can see them sitting so or standing SO.
and their varying expressions under
different circumstances is clear TO us
even though we may not have seen
them for years; but when It comes to
ourselves, we cannot fill in even the
outlines OF the picture. We may laugh.
we may cry, we may frown, but we do
not know how we look while we are
doing 1t. Photographs do not help us.
We have never seen ourselves in the
flesh. Mirrors and pictures are poor
aids when we sit down and try to see
ourselves with the minds eve.
That is why people are so deeply
interested in anybody who is said to
resemble them. Just say to a man:
i know somebody who is the dead
image OF YOU and he will never rest
TIL he sees that person. Then II the
likeness is really true. he will own
that up to that time he had no eoncep-
