The Evening Chit-C Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

AAsHEN a certain kind of white grapes were served 1T our breakfast
~ table the othsr day and som n refused them, another memper
w OF the family looked It him h establishment
why don't you eat them ;" he querfed- why, nose are In pe5t
kind Of grapes there are"
Do yu know, / think that remark a. typical OF a wrong attitude
yey many OF NJ hold toward other things besides grapes
What he meant was II CONSIDER those grapes the best grapes
there are or
Those n the grapes / LIKE best"
The mistaken attitude toward life Is this-we forget % realize now
very much personal equation there Is In our judgments dehnluons
We attempt to make our standards the standards OF every one
We try to fOsst u best and" worst upon other people as their
"best' and worst" and can't understand 1t when they refnse 10 accept
our point OF view
A learned English Judge recently promulgated his idea of the four
teen commonest mistakes In life. Three of them-J believe i have quot
ed these before, but / think they are worth innumerable quotngs-
we're:
ITO try to measure the enjoyment Of Others by our own
ITO expect uniformity Of opinion In this world"
ITO endeavor to mold the opinions of everybody alike.
Evidently he had met many people who left out the II consider
There are people who say there Is 10 such thing a absolute good
and bad. Goodness" and badness they say are nuctuating quaint
ties depending entirely upon environment, bringing up, habit, point o.
view, etc. What is bad in one person may be good in another person
and what is good in n may be merely natural In another.
/ can't quite see it a Is strongly as that 1t seem to m . that there
are some few things which are always bad and some which are always
But / do think that In all definition. In all Judgment there is a ire
nendous personal equation, and that those who attempt to speak OF
think without reckoning with it ar making one OF the most foolish Of
all the fourteen-beggfng the judges parson, seems ito me fourteen hun
dred times fourteen would be nearer the reckoning-comnon mistakes
In life.
When you have learned to SAL and think and feel II consider these
the best grapes" Instead OF These are the best grapes" then you have
learned one OF the big lessons of life.

NE evening daddy "a in a fix. He could not think Of an story to
tell TO Jack and Evelyn. try as hard as HI would unl he happened
to think Of two fables or short stories.
whats a fable. daddy" asked inquishive Jack when daddy told
them that he would tell them W short fables instead Of a story
it tells something which is rus without telling 1t directly. Here Is on old
fable.
Once upon a time a dog found a nice piece o meat He was very hungry
In Ae find made him happy. But be did nt wish to at the meat whert
he found it, sc b. decided ocarryt to hsh home
"On the way thu dog had to pass over q bridge The bridge val nothing
but a narrowb board laid across the stream. 1t was a clear bright day. and the
sun shone on HI water. Az the dog walked along with the meal tin his mouth
he looked down into the water inc say what looked like another dog carrying
a piece Of meat bigger than hfso He was n greedy dog and wanted both
pieces Of meat So he opened hs mouth o snatch the other dogs meat mi
lost his W In the water Of course 1t a nothing but a shadow which hs
had seen
"Tha other story is about a quarrel which arose once between the III and
the north wind. Each said that he was the stronger. and the dispute which
arose. between them was hard and bitter The SUI shone as strongly az he
could. and the wind blew his best While they were arguing they saw a ray
eIr coming along a road He wore a heavy coat and the SUI said:
"T see a way to settle on dispute. Let as each try ITO see which OF .
AN make the traveler remove his coat The u which succeeds shall be con-
sbaered the stronger You try first,
$50 the north Wind blew as hard a , ever he could Tut hts cold. Icy blasts
only made the travle wrap the coat tighter and tighter about himself and
hug himself and walk faster III order to keep warm After trying a long time
"Then the u took his turn. H. shone down upon the traveller. at frst
gently and then more and more strongly, until at last thu traveller found hns
self 50 warmi In his greatcoaf that he had to sake it off to keep cool and had to
look for heller In the shade Of a tree. 1890
"Then the north wind had Ito admit that the sD was stronger than he ~
And the lesson the story teaches Is that it Is ct always the loud, clustering
fellow who Is the stronger" ~

Discomfort is the want Of self re-
