And is that what I anl--natural? Natu- ral--with all these suppressed impulses You and I, my dear self, consider that rather far-fetched-don't we-
 Am ever natural? When I laugh? Perhaps; it is most of the times such a huge joke-life-fate-all! Being non committal is so foreign to my every inn pulse; it was an experiment at first hut it surely was good discipline. Wha, was I any way?
 Just a chatterbox; with the conversa-

 But I've walked up since then; I've been through the mill; and I began tc OK pertinent; and in my experimenting learned a great deal, mainly to be DO litic and tactful; did you happen tc know that this attitude teaches one a tremendous amount of unselflshness? Ii teaches the art of drawing out and studying other people, and leaving your self unstudied; it teaches the accomplish ment of conforming the circles in your own nature to the square corners in the makeup of others; you learn not to be pedantic in talking, you learn to be cpl grammatic; of course, you make youl cpigram suit the didactic statement ot your listener, and you get reputation for wit and for having keen apprecia-
 ton of humor-a rare quality in women

Always Answer to Dreams.

For every possible dream you will
always find someone who knows the
answer. Superstition seems ground
ed into our composite natures. But if
the subject should take hold of you
ahd II some omen should worry you
there is simple way to shed your
distress and turn all bad luck into
good luck.
This system is recommended by the
best of authorities and has never been
known to fail. To turn everything TO
your advantage and enjoy the fullness
or the earth there is just one thing to
do. It is quite simple. but it will of
set any evil influence that mas been
working against you.
This bit of knowledge comes down
from the ancients. Here it is:
Wear "a piece OF coral around your
neck and you can't go wrong.
