full dose of praise and f1attery.
or course, you have met this lady,
or rather some of her type-the self
depreciators.
They go about telling their friends
how homely and how stupid and how
undressing and unlikable they them
selves are, simply in order to extract
complimentary contradictions.
And the pity of it is they usually get
them.
Self-depreciation always poses as
modesty.
I suppose it may be that sometimes,
but nine times out often it is simply
a sign of a virulent case of vanity-a
shameless fishing for compliments The
bait is modesty and humility, but I'M
derneath the bait the hook of reIent-
less vanity for f1attery almost always
turks.
'Oh, dear, 1 wish I were as pretty
as Alicei" signs the self-depreciator.
She knows just as well as you do
that she is as pretty, and prettier, but
she wants you to tell her so, and she
thinks that is the easiest way to make
you.
duty is if you are friends of hers?
Not to tell her so.
If you dislike the habit of self-de-
probation as much as 1 do-and I'm
cure her of it, and the best way is to
refuse to rise to her bait.
Say, Eyes, it would be nice to be as
pretty as Alice" and then change the
subject
She will open her eyes pretty wide
for a moment, but if she is much of
girl she will probably begin to think
bit.
!. If You know her we'll enough, you
might assist the thinking process 1t
may hurt at the time, but it will surely
help in the end.
And, by the way, while you are as
sisting with the mote, don't forget to
look for the beam.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

why, if 1 were any good at that
sort of thing, I'd love to make the pre-
sentation speech for you," insisted the
lady, but you know how stupid 1 am
that way. Get Marion Ellis"
She is the cleverest speechmaker,
the wittiest talker in the club.
She knows it.
We all know it.
And yet whenever we ask her to
make a speech or do anything of that
sort, she always sets up wall similar
to the above.
And then we fall all over ourselves
to tell her how witty she is, and to
recall past successes, and to boot the
idea that anyone else could possibly
do it one-tenth as well as she.
After we have kept up this program
for some time she weakens and finally
yields.
Why shouldn't she? She has gotten
what she wanted-a large and power

CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Marble Statue on Johnson's Island,
SanduslSy Bay, Is Dedicated.

Sandusky, o.. June s.-A monument to
the memory of confederate officers and
soldiers buried on JohnSOn's Island
Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie, was dedica-
ted today The movement to erect the
statue originated with the Robert Pat
ten chapter of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, of Cincinnati. o.
The chapter purchased the cemetery in
1908 when it was found that the spot
around which SO many historic mem
cries clustered, was being neglected
and practically abandoned It's only
visitors were the veterans of a Grand
Army post who every Decoration day
held memorial services for their for
mer foes.
The statue rests on a pedestal con-
structed of South Carolina marble,
upon which is engraved in large letters.
Erected by the Robert Patton Chapter,

COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME
Tales That Are Told.

Il was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me"
says n. Y. woman. You just couldn't
convince me its use was connected with
the heart and stomach trouble 1 suffer
ed from most of the time.
MY trouble finally got so bad I had
to live on milk and toast almost en-
tirely for three or four years. Still l
loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it
could do such damage.
What 1 needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
Il had read much about Postum, but
never thought it would fit my case I'M
til one day 1 decided to quit coffee and
give it a trial and make sure about it.
So I got a package and carefully fol-
lowed the directions.
'Soon 1 began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di-
gestants and it was not long before I
was really new woman physically.
Now L am healthy and sound. can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and I know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment L
needed through this delicious Postum.
MY wonder is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with it and build themselves up
as have done, with Postum
Easy to prove by 10 days trial of
Postum. in place of coffee. The re-
ward is big.
There's a Reason
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.

in New York to provide luxurious
quarters regardless of cost for those
who can aHord to pay for the best,

and magnifcence. Occupying an en-
tire block in the very heart OF the
residential district, 1t took precedence
over all the other apartment hotels OF
the metropolis as the biggest and
most splendidly appointed hostelry of
it's kind in the world. 1t was, indeed,
a small city in itself. 1t raj not nee
essary for its fortunate tenants to
leave it unless they were so minded
