The conversation staggers. 1t may
limp for a moment longer. But, with
the expert knocking of your kind, you
settle its struggles to the peace of
tnanition. You observe-oh! the fine
hatefulness of your way of doing it,
that the lecture course brings a few
notorleties to town, so you have SEEN
some at a distance. Then the girl
shrinks from your sarcastic insinuation
that she has been trying to show off.

You do not knock clothes. You knock
the brains that might impart interest

preston that a good converse tionalist
is TRYING TO PUT ON so you proceed
to put her Off by a knock. And the
whole secret of your attack is the
vicious envy that tries to kill what 1t
desires to possess and cannot.
