EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

Did you ever know such bright girl
as Eleanor?'' said the lady who always
knows somehow, as she smiled ana
nodded to a young girl who was pass
ing down the street.
"Bright!" shifted the authorman's
wife. well, that's the stick. 1 never
heard her say an interesting thing"
Yes, they were talking about the
same girl. There was no mistake about
that. Where was the mistake then?
Nowhere. There wasn't any. These
two people were simply unconsciously
illustrating the psychological fact that
our friends in our presence are what We
help to make them as well as what they
are themselves.
Only the exceptional human being is
fixed personality, appearing the same
to everyone whom he meets. Most or
US are variables, the product OF our
own personality times the personality
OF the person we are with
Surely you have noticed this phenon-
enon in yourself, even if you haven't
exactly classified it.
You have a friend who is vivacious
and full of fun, always seeing the
amusing in everything. always ready
to laugh at any attempt at wit. In this
girls company all the vivacity in you
GENES to the surface. You laugh at
things which would never occur to you
as amusing under other circumstances
and you are so witty that you are ac-
tually surprised at yourself
The next day you are in the company
of a. minded person whose
outlook on life is as heavy and serious
as your other friends is light. Today
there is not sparkle of wit in your
conversation. Nothing amuses you and
you talk bromidioms and convention
alities as naturally as you talked witt
cisms the day before.
Now could anything be more unlike
than these two personalities who have
i'll y %<~I
Is it strange that these two friends
probably have a totally different idea
OF you?
An even more subtle influence of a
friends personality which 1 have
noticed is that we write a very different
letter to different people.
Recently had occasion to write half
dozen notes to different people on
much the same subject. To some I
wrote easily and chattily; for others I
could only produce a stiff and formal
er'istle. Nor was the difference merely
caused by the varying length of our
acquafntanceShips One of the notes
which struggled over the longest was
a woman had known all nv life. And
one of the easiest to write was to n
comparatively new friend. 1t was sim
ply the influence of their congeniaI or
uncongenial personalities reaching me
through space and making it difficult or
easy to chat with them
And yet more than that,-I found
myself writing to one girl in the same
eXtraVagant' half sincere vein in which
she would have written to me; and to
another with the ultra frankness which
is her distinctive characteristic.

erect of other personalities on ours.

SAYS UNCLE CAV

Most of us are entirely too proficient
in the useless art of making enemies.
There are times, it is true, when en-
| enIies are useful. To array against
ones self a strong but unpopular per-
sonality is occasionally good policy, in
that it raises up more powerful friends
elsewhere. But he who goes about care
lessly alternating this one and that is
like him that casts his fortune to the
winds-his portion is want and the
hollow murmur of regret.
There is no real success without a
loyal following. The man has yet 20
live who has won place or fame with
out supporters. Success is what you
are plus what you make others believe
you are. without the elements of ad-
vertising and confidence. there is no
success. Which is another way of say
ing that a man succeeds according as
he makes friends and commands their
trust.
1t is a saying worthy of belief yet
subject to common misinterpretation,
that one may rise by the enemies he
makes. This is true, as we have re-
marked, only when such enemies raise
up stronger friends. He who makes
enemies of all kinds and conditions of
men defeats himself at the beginning of
his campaign. He is a general without
an army, a king without kingdom, an
outcast, a pariah, a thing of pity. You
can afford to enlist antagonists only
when your cause is just and the blame
lies with Kim who would destroy you.
TIC make such enemies is, in the last
analysis, to make friends.
Reckless offense to the feelings of
others is sheer insanity. Friends are
so many supporters of your schemes.
so many good advertisers of your
merits, so many hands ready to your
hour of need. To ALLEVIATE possible
friends is to waste your stock in trade.
This is true whatever your business or
employment. He who cannot boast
many friends is poor indeed.-(Copy-
right. 1912. by the Mcclure Newspaper
Syndicate.)

1t is perfectly astonishing how much
