should
TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF YAMT|ES?

Did it ever occur to you that GER
tain amount of conceit might be a
valuable asset? As a rule, one hears
vanity and pride derided and scorned
We all dislike the conceited girl with
her airs and graces. And yet there
are many persons walking the globe
who would be far better off for q
little honest conceit OEermuch mod
esty lis quite as big q bane as over
much vanity, but a moderate amount
of both make an excellent combina-
ton.
The girl who is without trace of
pride or vanity is rather a hopeless
creature Sometimes she may possess
an innate sense of neatness, which
is all that makes her pay any atten-
ton to her appearance at all. But
such a one never makes the slightest
attempt to improve her looks, because
she considers herself beyond the pale.
You would be surprised to know
how many such girls there are They
are not in the majority, to be sure,
because the average feminine creature
is born with her own share Of vanity.
But, nevertheless, there are all too
many who are out of conceit With
themselves and the world. In most
cases they would be vastly improved
in every way il they could learn tn
think more Of themselves.
Vanity Inspires.
A bit of vanity is really inspiring.
1t teaches one to try to look ones best
at all times. The girl who approves
even mildly of her own appearance
is careful not to allow herself TO rGn
down, but keeps herself up to a GER
tain mark which she has set for her
self. If she looks in the glass one
morning and finds her skin LICKING
sallow or her hair looking lifeless
she sets to work repairing it at cnce,
The girl with a certain amount Of con
ceit Is careful to buy only the clothes
which make her appear at her best
Consequently, though she may not be
a pretty girl at ALL yet she always
looks well.
The overmodist girl, on the contrary,
never takes pains to study her own
good points. She makes no endeayo1
to enter the lists for beauty, but lets
herself 60, buying the clothes that are
at hand, without ascertaining whether
they bring out the best or the worst
in their appearance. |
Even a girl who is impossibly plain
in face and figure need not and should
not be without a spark of vanity. Be
cause il she has enough conceit she
will make herself attractive in othel
ways besides in her appearance. One
sees many, many instances where {
girl without a vestige of beauty has fal
greater popularity with men and wo

Brings Out Ones Best.
There is no doubt of it at all that a
little vanity does more to bring out a
girls best than all the modesty In the
world. This does not mean that we
should let ourselves grow puffed and
silly with conceit After all, overween-
ing conceit is certainly sign Of in
ferior intelligence, for no one with
common sense would ever allow them
selves to become foolishly vain.
There are always scores of others
far more intelligent, more beautiful.
more attractive, more gifted and more
fascinating than we are, If we search
ed with impartial eyes. To be the
most accomplished and wonderful wo-
man in the world Is quite impossible,
except in ones own mind, for at least
a hundred other contestants would
claim the same title So, no matter
how pretty or attractive a girl may
be, she would be silly idiot to be-
come inflated over her charms. In
fact, no one with any real claims to
intelligence ever does become over
conceited.
Nevertheless, every girl should In
still some grains of vanity in her sys
tenn. Without it she will lose her
looks and her charms. But that little
spark of conceit will keep her up to
the mark, will keep alive her interest
in herself and others and will make
her far more attractive in every way.
Vanity in the proper proportions will
work wonders in the weaker sex, and

1t was suggested that the package
had been sent as a joke by some per-

no such thought, however, for a uni

At present the mail between Laurel
and Washington is collected once
! day. Letters not collected on the frst
collection must wait twenty-four hours.
The cars between Laurel and Wash
ington are on an hourly schedule. Res
idents between Washington and Laurel
are therefore given opportunity to mail
their letters every hour by simply
dropping the letters into the mail box
attached to the Laurel car. On the ar
rival of the car in washington the
mail will be taken from the box at 18th
and G streets and thence to the nearest
street.
II believe that this new system will
prove to be a great Improvement on
our present method of handling the
mail in the suburban territory" said
Mr.. Chance yesterday. I'VE have de-
veloped the delivery OF the mail in
suburban territory by automobiles. and
now I will undertake to improve the
to the other. 1t is, of course. just as
important that mail should be collected
as promptly as possible as 1t Is that 1t
should be delivered with the utmost
dispatch. By this new service the peo-
pie in the suburban territory are given
collection service as good and as
prompt as the people In Washington.
Indeed. since they have collection
service every hour they are even more
fortunate than the city people, for in
some parts of every city collections
are made at greater intervals than an
hour. 1t is the constant effort of the
Post Office Department to improve
postal service. and I shall watch the
development of this new collection sys-
tenn with the greatest interest"
The first car to be equipped with the
new mail boxes will leave 18th and G
streets tomorrow morning at 8:15
o'clock. arriving at Laurel about 7:45
o'clock. so that the residents in that
section of the suburbs of Washington
can mail their letters in time to have
them reach Washington shortly after 9
o'clock. The mail box is not the ordi-
nary street-corner box, but is a novel
device, especially adapted to its pres
ent purpose. 1t is an open box. having
no lid. so that 1t is possible for let
ter to be dropped in the box as the car
passes by.
