DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE CONSULTATIONS OF VANITY.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

herself as the most important figure
in the universe.
Generally speaking, the greater a
mar Is the simpler and less pretentious
he is, and the more he has achieved
the more modest he Is about what he
has done, and so it Is a safe thing In
Judging people to let your admira-
ton of them be In inverse ratio to their
admiration of themselves.
This naive vanity OF those who have
nothing to be vain about is at first
glance very humorous. We are in
clined to laugh at the dingy old hen
who goes strutting about like a
gorgeous peacock, imagining that she
is the cynosure Of all eyes. We feel
like guffawing over the figure Of fun
that the pretentious little green grocer
makes when he poses as a Napoleon
of finance, on a bank account that
wouldn't be pocket money to the mar
next door, who doesn't consider him
self more han IN ordinarily successful
business man.
But instead of r%idiculing the se%lf-con-
ceited we should envy them because a
me~ciful Providence has given them a
self esteem that incases them with an
armor plate against which all the sings
and arrows Of outrageous fortune strike
in vain.
Nothing can really hurt them because
lIlt VANITY pIoNV6 " oAhNO ~ ~
sweeter than my success could be.
Does the woman who esteems herself
a Lillian Russell drift into old maiden
hood? She believes that 1t is because
men dared not come within the range
of her Circe-like spen. DO the near
artist and near-writer and near-actor
fail of public recognition? They are
firmly convinced that a powerful cabal
OF envious rivals are sc afraid of their
superior talent that they prevented
publishers and managers from ever Civ
ing them a show. Is the conceited man
a bankrupt? He knows exactly where
to lay the blame. 1t is because Wal
street and the government conspired
to ruin him.
, Self-conceit is also the one recipe
for a happy life. For vanity is the
mantle that covers every defect, II
Won admire yourself enough 1t matters
nothing what the balance of the world
thinks Of you. II you think you have
the mot wonderful children in the
world they are, to all incentive pur-
poses. infant phenomena. II you are
one OF those whose possessions are in
vested with a sneCial halo because they
telong to YOU, then you have that with
In you which makes you a darling OF
the gods. because you always have the
best Of everything.
Therefore let us deal gently with the
~self-conceited. II nature has given them
vanity to keep them from seeing them
selves as others see them, why should
we be cruel enough to awaken them
from their dream OF bliss?
