The Evening Chit Chat
70 publicly call attention to another.s DEFICIENCIES is objectionable.
By RUTH CAMERON

re publicly call attention to anothers DEFICIENCIES is objectionable.
or course, that's n news Everyone knows that.
To call attention o ones own dehcience is unnecessary and
very awkward.
That, I think. must be new So many people seem not to know it.
There is In otherwise wal-bred young girl among my acquaintances
who Is forever talking about how homely Ter o. is. Now the nose Is
not Grecian, neither is it anything so startling that people would think
about 1t II they were net 81 frequently reminded Of 1t.
Indeed, the nose itself Is not half sc bad as her habit o talklng
about It. 1t Is perpetua1ly, "What would you do If you a K
miner" or Il really think would be almost good looking If 1t weren not
for m y nose" Her friends are kept continually protesting n comfort
ing until they learn to steer carefuny, clear OF h subject OF noSes IN
particular and personal appearances n general
Aside from the fact that this habit Of running mes self down is
bad policy, because it concentrates other peoples attention to dehclences
they mi. otherwise not have thought much about, it is also bad taste
because it holds people up for compliments eassurances at
pistol point of common decency.
And people as a rule somehow cen to resent SUCH hoid-ups
The girl who is always referring openly to some deficiency IN her.
self probably thinks she deserves praise for frankness, but a a mauer
of fact, she deserves blame for INDUCING IN anKne at te Expense h
making other people feel awkward and uncomfortable.
she want people to know that she is not concefed and that she
fully realizes that she is decidedly plain O. overgrown. and awkward, OF
that her use is to- large or her skin is saIow, but since this opportu-
nifty to prove her W acknowledge and ack II conce Involves
discomfort of Others, she would do well to forego it,
To know ones deficiencies is desirable. ~4
To keep quiet about ones knowledge is equahy 10.

How impossible il is to read the
future! Who would have prophe-
sled January LIST, 1911, that by July
LIST, 1911, an income tax amendment
would have been submitted by
Republican President, Senate and
House, and ratified by majority of
States? Who would have predicted
that by that time an amendment
would have been submitted for the
election of United States Senators by
popular vote? who expected tariff
reduction so soon? And yet the
special session Democrats wanted
but could not compel is here and
brought by the "old guard"
Now Democracy has it's chance.
Let it improve It; let it meet the re-

First-Let It ratify the reciproci-

which brought the special session.
Second--Let It admit Arizona and
New Mexico.
Third-Let It submit a constitu-

Fourth-Let It reduce the tariff,
