TELL THESE
AT DINNER

An art critic, who had been ex'
patiating upon art to a number Of
friends, speaking of the virtues
of this painting and the faults OF
that one, finally came to picture
in the gallery, and said: NOW,
you see in this picture that the
artist has not learned his trade
it lacks technique and understand
ing. His trees seem to have no
form; they do not stand up; the
grass has no roots. His clouds
look like bits Of paper stuck on
the canvas.
"And here, you see, he has re-
sorted to a trick to catch the pub
lie eye, and has attempted to
paint a fly.
Now would not object to the
fly had he been able to draw bet
ter and make 1t look like q fly.
This fly looks like a lump of mud.
and has none Of the character Of
a fly" At this juncture the fly,
having tired of the critics cackle,
took wing and flew away.

cover the heart throbs behind a
stilted and condescending manner.
Make sure that you are not
condescending rather than "gra-
cious" as you call it, Reach out
with honest friendliness to one
person in your office. Be simple
and natural. Take a little inter-
est in--the office boy for instance.

Women in business need not
be Queenly dispensers Of their
smiles and words nor yet vamps
in order to make friends of the
folks with whom they work.
Stevenson said wisely and sanely,
"To have a friend you must first
be one" Give out true friendla-
ness to the folks in your office

they talked, and 1t was after two
in the morning when he finally
said goodnight.
AS part of his new program Of
forgetfulness, the next day, being
Sunday, he went to see Lucy, and
took dinner with her and Wilbur.
The prospect had not been spe-
cially pleasing, but he had forced
himself to make the effort, and
on arrival was glad he had come,
for Lucy's pleasure was genuine
and heartening. He had not seen
her for weeks, and it troubled
him to feel they were drifting
apart. BY their eager, affection
ate greeting of one another, each
understood that a reconciliation
had been effected. Philip re-
sponded instantly to her contrite
kiss and the plea for forgiveness
in her eyes, but he was aware that
somehow Lucy had grown away
from him. She was hardly the
same person as the goiden-haired,
romping child he had loved to
swing high above his head. She
was Mrs. Lansing" Her name
had come to have social signifi-
canoe. What Mrs. Lansing did,
where Mrs. Lansing went, whom
Mrs. Lansing entertained, was of
interest to readers of the society
columns in the newspapers. Ear
ly in the year Philip had come
upon a large picture of her in a
Sunday edition, bearing the le-
gend: Mrs. Wilbur Lansing,
whose beauty and charming per.
sonality have ever made her
much in demand this season.

RED CROSS MET TEST
IN JAPAN FUND DRIVE
Spirit of Service Demonstrated
in Readiness for Nation
wide Activity.

When President Coolidge by procla
nation designated the American Red
Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief of the Japan
csc earthquake sufferers should flow,
the Presidents desire came as an or
der to the Red Cross hmm ediately
the entire machinery of the organiza-
ton was put in motion and within "a
hours the fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
in behalf of humanity. Within a
month 1t had collected upwards of
$10,250 900 in contributions, landed
ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re-
lief requiem ents-all without a sim
gle dollar Of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge, in expressing
his thanks to the people, said: when
the news OF the tragedy in Japan first
reached us, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to a proclamation, asked the
country for 100000 to meet the /
great insurgency. The answer to this !
appeal was prompt and generous; in |
less than two weeks a sum far in ex-
cess of the original goal was given"
The work of the Red Cross for
Japan is expected to influence a very
large enrolment of new recruits dur
ing the Roll Call, which starts Armis-
lice Day.
