Why Isn't This Democracy?

simply that I find moro pleasure in these and they in me. Now why should I resent it when these people here at the hotel feel the same?
 But they do act as if they felt so superior" objected her friend. What She Called Our Best People"
 And some of them are,' retorted the woman. Some of them are the product of half a dozen generations of people who have all had every cultural and educational advantage all their lives. Sometimes, of course, such families have gone to seed, but where they haven't they are what I call our best people. Why should T be blind to their superiority in breeding and education, any more than I am blind to my superiority to people who haven't had any advan- taGes. I am only one generation re- moved from very plain people. That is nothing to be ashamed of, and as far as morality goes they were just as good as these people. But as far as the superstructure of breeding and education goes they weren't as good. look upon myself as one of the half dozen generations which shall some day produce people like them if I and my descendants keep our standards and our ideals true. And In the meantime am perfectly happy with my own kind. Now why isn't that der1iocracy?'
 Though she looked stubbornfy un- convinced her critical friend could not make any objection to that.
 And as for me. didn't want to.

A woman whom I know stopped last summer at a hotel where most of the other guests were from the oldest and best families in the state.
 These people were very gracious to her when they met her casually, but did not include her in their little plans of one sort and another.
 Didn't 1t make you mad the way they kept you at arms length?' this woman was asked by a friend one day. As ie they were really any better than you"
 She Thought Some People Better
 Thau She
 "Tt doesn't make me mad at all, ~ said the woman. Tt is perfectly right and natural. And as for being better than I, they are in some ways"
 'I always thought you were very democratic" sad hcr friend in dis approval, That doesn't sound that way"
 And thus pricked to 1t, the woman spoke out with some emphass.
 Her Rule Worked Both Ways.
 q am a democrat" she said, "I believe in equality Of opportunity. l believe in a land where there are no fixed castes and where honor can be given to whom honor is due, even if he or she is of hum ble birth. But l don't believe that I'm as good as any body or that everybody is as good as I, if by good you mean well educat- ed. refined, well bred, worth know ing. I prefer on the whole to asso- ciate with people who have had the sort of advantages l have, who speak my language. who are of my own sort. It is not that I object or look down upon those who have had less.

 "I believe Harry's liking for you was the t1uest feeling for all its treachery to Dscky and to mo that he ever experienced in his life,' she had said. And I'm sure that it was his realization that you had nothing but indifference if not actual dislike for him that actuated his joining forces with Grace Draper"

 Another sentence from that con- versation came back to me with sick ening clearness.

HE CRISIS" TODAY
 AT FOX'S THEATER

pne of the biggest pictures ever
 duced, "The Crisis" will be the
 snre of the big holiday show at
 Is today. tThe Crisis was fa-
 IS as 8 book long before 1t was
 into pictures and it won great
 he for its author Winston Church. n, for 1t gave him the credit of hav- ing written America's greater Amer jean story. "The Crisis is twelve reel drama of the Civil war, and be- sides the patriotic and spectacular eIe- ments, there Is a powerful story of some of the big historical chara cters of tho day. Among these is Abra- ham Lincoln. and so perfect is Sam Cranes interpretation of the charac- ter, that critics throughout the coun- try have acclaimed the picture as the drama with a human Lincoln" The story opens before the election of Lincoln to the presidency, and presents a most graphic picture of political sentiment in those ante bellum days, Stephen Brice, a young Boston lawyer, comes to St. Louis, one of the centers of the slave traffic. Passing down the main street short ly after his arrival. he came upon a scene that was entirely new to him, and which struck horror to his pur- itanical heart. For there before him was an auction block upon which a beautiful quadroon girl was being sold at auction, with her aged weep ing mother beside her. Determined to save her from eternal separation from her mother, Brice spends his last dollar in purchasing the girl, and when she is his, he immediately sets her free. His most spirited opponent in the bidding was Clarence ColfaX, the accepted lover of Virginia Car vel whom Brice secretly adored Vir- ginia herself had witnessed the scene, and became highly indignant with what she considered tho Yankee in science of young Brice. Shortly af- ter came the war, and our charac- ters find themselves lined up on op- posite sides, Brice with the North and Colfax for the South. Miss Gar vel, true to her training, pitted her self with the South, too But, as we are finding out from present exper- fence, war Is powerful in the art of changing circumstances, and before 1 long we see Colfax about to be exc cuted as a spy. And Brice, out of l love for Virginia takes himself to Washington, and demands a personal ; interview with Abraham Lincoln for l the purpose of securing a pardon for his enemy. There are many other incidental threads to the story, which are woven in with master skill. The 1 battle scenes, which were taken on the actual fields upon which the orig inal battles occurred, are nothing short of perfection. There will be a continuous show today, a special 1 performance of "The Crisis" being arranged for five o'clock this after 1 noon.

A Terrible Temptation.
BY E1gTH CAAfERoa

We fell to/ talking ono day about the pieces of advice that had made the most difference in our lives.
 In the group was a successful aud well poised man of about forty~dve. "I was pretty sore tho day I got the piece of advice that's meant the most to me-" he said, when the rest of us had finished. "L was just starting out on my first big job selling on the road. There was an older man that l looked up to a lot and I asked him for advice. And he gave it to me-
 He stopped for qnict, amused laugh.
 ''Hc said, 'Tounrster you'l go q long way if you can resist one tempta. ton.
 He Thought It was Something Ora
 matic.
 "What is it?" I said, all eagerness I thought it was something big and dramatic.
 'The temptation of talking about yourself, youngster," he said.
 "Of course I felt flat. But, by George, reading a hundred books on how to succeed couldn't have done mo any more good than the shock of that. The way he slung it at me made an impression. It didn't go in one ear and out the other--it kept coming back-~and when I needed it."
 can well believe that man when
New Britain herald., 1918-01-21

he says that single piece of advice made it's impress on his character \ Man Who Makes People Talk
 About Themselves.
 That speech was one of the longest ever heard him make. For he 1s a man of few words, one of those marvellous, sympathetic listeners (moro common among women than men) who make people talk about themselves. He listens, smiles (not tho eXasperating superior smile) draws you on, and occasionally con- tributes a pungcnt and worthwhile word.
 When 'J's' Fill the Air. /
 But when the talk takes the highly personal turn that it occasionally does even among well bred people. when ITS" fill the air, and big sound ing names are lugged in to give lus- ire to those who speak them, and when anecdotes in which 'I" always comes in whenever other folks arc doing the wrong thing and set them right, are handed back and forth and people interrupt each other in the excitement, he never once loses his head and joins the orgy.
 You'll go a long way if you cal resist the temptation to talk abouY yourself"
 l guess there arc about ninety per cent of us who could borrow tha1 advice. Don't you? And I'm surd he will be willing to lend it.
