By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

His letter Is absolutely devoid of wit--even that quality which has ap- pealed to most of his followers above every other quality; 1t is a ''knoc&out blow right between the eyes" to a nation which tried to show its ap- preciation of him by inviting him to these shores, where he has literally "raked in the shekels" from the ITO duction of his many plays.
 It just goes to show how little great art has to do with personality.
 MT. Shaw is such "a lord of wo 'ds' as oscar Wilde puts it, that he can never appease our anger at his letter by hiding behind the usual excuse of T did not mean to be insulting" should he suffer a relapse and real ize his tone" and manner" of ex- pression, which he probably won't.
 Nothing is so charming-nothing makes for popularity more than a courteous, gentle manner. and MT. Shaw isn't big enough, nor great enough to use a bludgeon in return for kindness--an intended comDli- ment-such as the American literary world tried to convey; in fact, nobody is great enough to do that.
 Exaggerated ego" is what fastens itself to many a man and woman, who has reached distinction in some line; not the great, understand l--out to the near great" for no man is counted great who has not courtesy of the heart, which spells courtesy of the mind, and gives expression to itself in greatful appreciation.
 "Egoitis" is 8 germ disease, 1t would seem; 1t fastens itself upon a man, and almost eats him up before he knows it; and it is next door to insanity, it would seem; in other words, exaggerated ego" has become quite prevalent among some distin- guished people of the day.
 The woman who all her life has been poor and struggled to get on top, and finally marries some rich prominent man--is one of the msny types suffering from "egoitis;" she forgets her old friends; gets "above you know she's quite a perfect fool" with hundreds of enemies in her wake, where she has one friend.
 singer rises above the fell hand of circumstances" somebody helps her to the top by providing money for her to complete her education; the next thing we hear is that she has forgotten her benefactors, and is running after somebody else whom she thinks is more important and more to her advantage.
 Recently the eccentric D'Ann1nxio, inflated with "egoitis." dashed .nadly into the surf at Lide, on the Adri- attic, clad in purple tights and iiding white steed with golden shoes.
 Signor Ibanez-the famous author of ''The Four Horsemen of the Apo calypso" let his ego run away with him when he toured this country, as we all know, and made himself quite ridiculous; both of Latin race. these-yet, this is not confined to those hectic temperaments alone--as MT. George Bernard Shaw clea 'ly shows in his very ungracious letter to a distinguished American.

KEEP MOUTH FREE
 FROM GERMS

Dentists and physicians every where report that men and women are grossly negligent about the cara of their teeth and mouths. People do not seem to realize" says a noted health expert, that the germs that thrive in their mouths are responsi- ble not only for the decay of their teeth, Pyorrhca. Sore Throat and similar maladies, but also may lead to many of the more serious dis cases"
 Experience seems to prove that the only sure and safe way to gnar6 against these dangerous germs is by the regular use of liquid mouth wash like Steroline. This famous antiseptic mouth wash cleanses the tiniest crevices of the teeth. combats all the germs in the teeth and mouth, and soothes sore and bleeding gums.
 People should not take chances with their health. Spray the nose and throat with Steroline, gargie it frequently, brush the teeth with it regularly and you are assured of protection against germs. Get a bot tie Of steroline from your druggist tOdQy.-Adv.

c. E. S., Minus Vii

N1 o often have I quoted what N some wag said about George Bernard Shaw and his fla grant wit" this excusing him for anything and every thing broad" and suggestive which he has ever said, that I rather hesitate to quote it again, but somehow l think the oc- casion warrants it.
 You remember how the wag de- clared that;
 Men have prated of vice and in cest from Sophocles to Shelley but none has ever dared to intersperse it with wit except c. B. S."
 Known the world over for his wit and keen sense of humor" MT. Shaw has completely fallen down as 1t were, by an utter lack of it in the most openly insulting letter which he has recently written about Amer cia.
 It seems that there has been q movement on foot among the literati of America to have the unctious MT Shaw pay us a visit, and MT. Os- wald Garrison Willard, editor of the Nation, adding his voice to that of many others who were inviting MT shaw to visit this country, wrote to the distinguished writer the follow Ing courteous note.
 My Dear Mir. Shaw:
 T understand a number of friends are writing to you and urging you to come to the United States. May l say how gratified we of the Ma tion should be should you come to us. Yours very sincerely,
 OSWALD GARRISON WILLARD.
 Editor MT. George Bernard Shaw,
 "10 Adelphia Terrace,
 'W, c. ?, London, England.
 MT Willard has received the fol- lowing answer from Mir. Shaw which certainly ought to put an end to any desire on the part of Americas nt- erary people or otherwise 10 meet MT. Shaw face to face"--Mr. Shaw of the charmingly witty Man and Super-man,' Mir. Shaw of the delight fully humorous Caesar and Cleopa . tra,' MT. Shaw of the daring Back to Methuselah" which Is to be pre- duced by the way, according to an- nouncement by the Theatre Guild Of New York which has produced so many marvellous plays. John Fer gerscnS' among the number.
 Here is MT. Shaw's letter: Dear MT. Willard:
 This conspiracy has been going on for years; but in vain is the net spread in sight of the bird. I have no intention either of going to prison with Debs or taking my wife to Texas where the Ku Klux Klan snatches white women out of hotel pI far | If l were dependent on martydom for reputation, which happily I am not, could go to Ireland. It is a less dangerous place; but then the voyage is shorter and much cheaper.
 You are right in your impression that number of persons are urging me to come to the United States. But

I.
 For sheer bad manners and abso- lute lack of appreciation we can just take our hats off to "G. s B." aftvr reading this letter and if anybody could have so little self-respect as to want to meet MT. Shaw and shake hands with him and talk heart to heart" with him after perusing the document and digesting its contents, I don't know who it would be. Which reminds me of a little incident l once read about when Lady Randolph Churchill invited MT. Shaw to lunch con, to which he wired answer: "Nev- CT accept invitations to luncheon. Don't you know my habits?"
 Lady Churchill wired back:
 Know nothing about your habits. hope they are better than your man ners.''
 An admirable it-for-tat repartee. was 1t not?r
 Perhaps Mr. Shaw prefers to ad- vertise himself by his insulted rather than his flowing friends"
 America has been very appreciative of George Bernard Shaw. His plays when they are on the boards are as generously patronized as those of any present-day writer. Every word he pens in hung upon with avidity by the literary public, and while we've always known that he is ec- centric. odd different-yet none of us has known until now that ne is thoroughly iIl-bred.
