similar statistics with a sneaking suspicion
that superstitions may be right, after all.
They almost always work out so well, you
know.
Purely for amusement the photoplay
editor tabulated the leading women and men
of the two most popular straight" stars of

was made, because he represents a type of
exaggerated comedy that is unique and that
can get along with almost any good-looking
girl in the foil role. The pair of drawing
cards from which the selection of Opposite"

ford and Douglas Fairbanks.
We took no account of pictures in which
Mary appeared prior to her connection with

probability was that these brutes had very
charming manners in everyday life!
The courtesy which counts, which will
hold out in the face of every test, is
founded solidly on self.control, gentleness,
unselfshness and thought for others; and
this kind can always be depended on to
bring out not only the best in ourselves,
but also the best in those with whom we
are thrown.
And courtesy not only brings out the
best. but even sees the best. Have you
ever heard the adage, "If your friends are
blind of one eye look at them always in
profile? That is a real test of good
breeding, being conscious Of our neighbors'
shortcomings to be deliberately blind to
them and to endeavor to make them al
ways appear to the greatest advantage in
the eyes of others; but to do that we have
to forget ourselves and to have self.con-
troll, so as to make life easier for the rest
of the world.
