Sef-COnciOusness
By Mrs. Frank Learned.

1 -
A serious barrier to success or popu-
larity in social life in consciousness.
Morbid anxiety as to what others are
thinking, nervous fears as to ones ap
pearance, should be overcome. Free
dom from thought Of self, which is u.s.
ually so perfectly charming in the nat.
ural manner of a child, may be pos.
session through life, if we could cease
to think how we are looking and what
is the opinion of others about us.
The probability is that we are not be.
ing regarded always by others as very
absorbing objects. Egotism and self
love are at the root of all seIf.con.
sciousness. To be self-centered is very
narrow. There is lite lhope of fine cul.
ture for a person who is self.absorbed.
If one is more anxious to give pleas.
ure than to get it, if thoughts are di,
rected more toward others than toward
self, there is a possibility of becoming
agreeable and companionable. Diff.
dence, morbid shyness, awkward man.
nerisms are really the result of the
constant thought of self.
By contributing to the pleasure Of
others, wherever we may be, we may
extract much sweetness for ourselves in
the passing moments. 1t may be by
talking to some one who seems shy and
neglected and needs to be relieved of
the baleful effect of self. consciousness,
or it may be by listening with atten-
tion'to some one who wants to talk.
But here is another point. No one
should insist on monopolizing the con
versation. That is very wearisome
form of intense egotism.
There is another form of self-con-
ness which afflicts those who are so in,
dependent in their individuality as to
be in danger of rudeness; those who are
too vehement in voice and gesture,
brusque and abrupt in manner. They
forget that the world is never convinced
that any one is superior who assumes a
loud, aggressive, uncivil manner. Wilful
self-consciousnes of that sort is more
to be pitied than diffident, anxious
shyness, and is sure to make more un-
favorable impression.
Consciousness Of ones dress is bad
form. Not only the vanity which thinks
of display or ostentation should be
avoided, but the carelessness which dis
regards the little niceties of toilet and
then causes a guilty self.cOnsciousness
which breads detection.
A woman of refinement is exquisitely
neat I'M her personal appearance. She
guards against the least untidiness in
dress. She cannot be too fastidious
about her daily bath, the care Of her
hair, teeth and finger nails. Each de-
tail of neatness is attended to scrupu-
lously every day. Neglect of these
things is a fault not to be condoned.
A habit to be cultivated is to be
carefully and neatly dressed and to
think no more about it after leaving
ones ROOM This will give freedom
from fussy self-cOnsciousness For in
stance, it is bad manners TO go out in
the street before putting on ones
gloves or to adjust a veil in a public
conveyance, or to give nervous pats
and touches to hair, or to give heed to
the many small details which should
be attended to in the privacy of one s
room and are not allowable elsewhere.

Before the morning sun had dawned,
our daddies used to rise,
And town filled up with country folk
with wonder in their eyes;
In faded uniforms the bands, by old
drum majors led,
Marching shuffling by, afire with love
for country and her dead.
The dustclouds swirled, the sun blazed
down, a torture were the stiff
starched clothes.
The ladies formed human flag, and
all the voices brave arose,
In tune or Out-but fsrvently-they
gave, "My Country, Tis Of
Thee"
" "star-spangled Banner" made them
thrill - "Marching Through
Georgia" held them still
They worked back in the days of
yore,
When daddy honored July 4.

The big alarm clock whizzed at dawn
when you and were boys,
We started out to celebrate with glee
and zest and noise;
It didn' t matter what it meant-that
Independence junk
Was simply cause for crackers big
for sizzlers and for punk.
TOrpedoes on the curbstone then, and
"giants" in the street,
Great rockets whizzing through the air,
and "mines" beneath our feet;
Racket and bang from morn till night
we loved the notes.-the isis
sy's" fright
Poor Johnny Jones had lost an eye, and
Lucy Smith was like to die;
The lucky chaps lived one year moro
Until another July 4.
Today we have Noiseless Fourth--it
comes in quiet state,
We don't burn off our fingers now, or
tempt cripple's fate;
The great crowds flock to park and
shore-and Freedom means "Be
Free";
While Natures boys sane attribute pay
to Life and Liberty.
We don't turn din and bedlam loose
beneath midsummer's sky,
And change "Pursuit of Happiness" "
into a chance to die.
Peace rules the day and flowers at
night when cities mark the sky
ith light.

sHEEHAN ENGLISH OPERA co.
Add to the Popularity of II Trova-
tore by Brilliant Production.

Joseph E. Sheehan, America s great
est tenor and idol of every music
lover in the country is coming to the
Rhode Opera House next Friday night
with his all star company for one per-
Torrance of Verdi s I'll Trovatore. z
Joseph Sheehan is universally
acknowledged the greatest of all
American tenors and his company for
the past three years has been pro-
claimed the foremost opera company in
America but this year he has by far
outdone himself and surrounded him
self with the greatest cast of stars
ever heard in English opera. In Sc
Letting I'll Trovatoreo for the per-
Torrance in this city he is giving US
the greatest and the most popular opera
of modern times, apG in so doing has
struck responsive chord in public
favor.
To those who have heard I'll Tro-
vatore, = the opportunity of hearing
the great tenor solo "di Q,iella Pirao
sung by the greatest Of American ten
ors, of hearing the stirring Anvil
Chorus by a company of selected
voices, of hearing the world renown-
led Miserrere0 in the Tower Scene
and a score of other famous numbers
will be welcome treat To those
who have never heard this great opera
it will prove a most happy surprise.
No better proof of the hold I'll Tro-
vatore' has on the public can be Civ
en- than the fact that those who have
heard it once never lose an opportunity
of doing so again and again. Add to
this the fact that probably never be-
fore has it been sung in English by
such famous organization of stars
and nothing remains to be said advdw
