Conceit.

Conceit is something we deprecate
very much In others, but regard as
justifiable pride in ourselves.
Conceit is that quality in others which
impels them to talk to us about
their own attachments even while
we are trying to interrupt them In
order to tell a few nice things
about ourselves.
Conceit is in its full flower when we
begin to believe all the compliments
paid us.
So long. however, as we unassuming
ly deprecate the compliments, 9th
ers pronounce us properly modest
Once we agree we are classed as
conceited.
The conceited ass, however, Is one
who pays himself compliments and
