:: Placing The Blame ::

KIT TELLO, Laura. Is that you at
the phone? Good morning.
Yes, we're all well, thank
you. | called up to say that was
rather mean practical joke you play
ed on me. especially when you know
how fond your brother Paul is of
brown bread. must say that l
thought l could depend upon his own
sister to give me the recipe his moth
er used.
You say you did give it to me?
Impossible The bread baked
wasn't fit to eat. 1t was awfully an
noying, particularly as l made it all
myself while Thora was out Thurs
day, for | was so anxious to have it
just right for Paul He has been
talking about brown bread for
months. I wanted to show him that
even if he did come from family of
famous cooks there are others!
MY failure with the bread was a
dreadful disappointment to me. I've
been waiting till l got over being
angry about it before mentioning the
matter to you. | just wish to say
dear, that giving me a defective re-
cipe didn't appeal to my sense of
humor, although doubtless you
thought ii was funny. All you Gran
dalls are so absurdly fond of joking
"Of course, it's easy for you to in
sist now that you gave me the proper
ingredients and quantities. but if you
did. why wasn't the bread good?

ACHIEVE SUCCESS BY STAGES
Elevation to Leadership Is On Basis
Of Prestige, and Must Be
Maintained.

AS soon as a certain number Of liv-
ing beings are gathered together,
whether they be animals or men, they
place themselves instinctively under
the authority of chief.
AS enthusiasm becomes inflamed, 1t
happens most often that the then lead
er is he who started as one Of the led.
He has himself been hypnotized by
the idea whose apostle he has since
become. 1t has taken possession Of
him to such degree that everything
outside it vanishes, and every con-
trary opinion appears to him an error
or superstition. In time by aff1rma-
ton, repetition and contagion great
power Is given to his ideas, and he ac-
quires that mysterious force known as
prestige. Every successful man,
every idea that forces itself into recog-
milton, ceases ipso facto to be called
In question.
The proof that success is one Of the
principal stepping stones to prestige
Is that the disappearance Of one is al
most always followed by the disap-
pearance Of the other. The hero whom
the crowd acclaimed yesterday is in
suited today should lie be overtaken
by failure The reaction indeed will
be the stronger in proportion as the
prestige has been great.-LeBon, in
his book upon "The Crowd"

Happiness.

Those who have the most of happi-

thinking about and in doing their duty
happiness comes-because the heart

thought that touches at a thousand

ties Of the niverse.-Thackeray.
