The Compliment Discretion

When is a. compliment not a com pliment? When it has been discred- ited by one of those people who seem to enjoy pricking the bubble of ones pleasure in praise.
 Molly came home glowing the oth- those most precious of all compIi- m nents-thc praise of a child.
 Bob and I had the loveliest time together, and what do you suppose he said when I went?" she related, starry-eyed. He said, I wish you'd come to this house and stay all the time, Aunt Molly Wasn't that just sweet Of him ?''
 The Authorman's wife laughed " don't think it was particularly sweet she said. He thinks he'd never have to amuse himself if he could get all his aunts and uncles to live there.'
 The Stars Stopped Shining.
 The stars in Mollys eyes went out. Il trust the Authorman's wife felt re paid.
 Another time I heard a girl who has a deep and humble admiratioN for an older woman telling with pa thetic delight that the older woman had asked her if she and her mother would care to rent a house across the street from them, which was about to become vacant. The girl was evidently very proud to think that the older woman seemed to want to have her in her neighbor hood.

Of Course He Didn't Really Like to
 Dance With Her.

or Course He Didn't Really Like to Dance With Her. A woman who is very sensitive about her dancing was telling with pride that a certain man who is re- ported to be a very fine dancer had danced with her three times in one evening.
 The compliment discreditor-this time a relative near enough to have the relatives privilege of disagree able frankness-brought to her at tontion the fact that the excellent dancer is also an astute politician, and that, as her husband has con- siderab ble political influence she might attribute the compliment to that.
 Pleasant thought!
 Of course, the people who constant ly go about repeating compliments paid to themselves, perhaps fishing for more by pretending not to be- licve them, perhaps just fatuously repeating them without even a pre- tence of disbelief. often deserve to have the bubble of their soif-conceit priclled.
 But when anyone is so frankly de- lighted with a compliment that he just has to tell you about it--as in the case of Molly-it's not parti- cularly gracious act to find some way o discredit it. is it?

Now let Harrison Help Arkansas
Feed Herself.
Below is list of Arkansas products
