<<D ONT get too near your

low" wrote a semi-facetious,
semi-philosophical person a few
years ago.
There's a world of truth in
that.
Probably each of you has one
or two pet aversions." Maybe
in some cases you don't like
some one because he isn't friend
ly to you. Maybe in some cases
you just can't be friendly. Some
how the thing grows and in
creases without your being able
to account for it and pretty soon
instead Of just being Indifferent
or not particularly chummy, you
are actually inimical to someone
against whom you haven't one
definite complaint to make save:
"Well--he doesn't like me.
Why should 1 care for him?"
Recently a woman told me with
a certain wistful wonder in her
voice that for a year or so she
had heartily disliked a man for
whom her whole world seemed
to have the highest regard.
He was always so upstage to
me. He seemed to think me
about as important as worm,"
she said. Every time 1 met him
felt belittled by his manner. He
seemed so pleasant to everyone
else and SO frozen when it came
to me. And the more my friends
seemed to like him, the more re-
sentful l felt at his failing to
show me whatever it was in his
nature that charmed them so.
"And then the most absurd lit
tie incident occurred. 1t doesn't
seem possible now that such
tiny thing could have meant so
much. But / was racing around

chat with him while I waited.
II smiled. He smiled. We
chatted. We didn't seem to be
disliking each other at all. And
then / realized that all the dis
like was a mutually shared and
mutually fostered illusion.
HE couldn't be friendly to me
because he didn't think l liked
him. 1 couldn't be friendly to
him because I didn't think he
liked me. And there we were
bristling like two strange tom
cats on an alley fence.
"All 1t needed was one friendly
word from either of us to
straighten things out"
That Is probably true of nine
tenths Of the animosities which
folks foster in silly, sensitive,
imaginative pride.
All it needs is a friendly word
from "either of you" to straighten
1t out.

Just as if she. Winifrsd Scott.

She had been I'm. the habit Of
calling up Donald Muir when.
ever she pleased. She wished
she could have snubbed the up
ish operator who had sent for
Richard. She wished that Rich
ard himself had snubbed the girl
and had told her that Miss Scott
was not to be reprimanded by
anyone.
Besides all this she, Winifred,
had put herself In q false posi-
ton by offering to explain to
Rankin how she had happened
to be going into the Biltmore
with Muir last night. She hated
herself for offering any explana-
ton. She had a right to do as
she pleased. She was no snob,
but Richard might just as well
understand that she WAS not used
to receiving reproofs and making
explanations.
She walked to the front window
and gazed out over the river
sparkling in the morning sum
shine. She remembered how the
water out there had shone in the
silver moonlight as she and Rich
ard had sat and talked by this
same window only two nights
ago. She recalled his pale face,
his musical voice as he had
spoken of the poor men eating
the crumbs that fell from the
masters tables identifying him

Hot tears sprang to her eyes.
She was ashamed Of her anger.
The kind Of thing that she had
resented was what Richard Ran
kin must endure day In and day
out as he worked downtown-the
hireling Of men less well born
and less refined than he.
And it was all because he was
not rich!
Yet all he wanted money for
was to help other poor people.
That was his only aspiration.
Ah-he was noble! She had
forgotten for few hours how

THE RHYMING
OPTIMIST
BY Aline Michaehs-

VXTHBN I hear friends chat
" ting brightly, making COM
w ments keen and sprightly,
how I wish could be master OF
the art! For it surely would be
charming not to feel these qualms
alarming that attack me when on
any theme / start. Oh, how
fine If I could journey far and
wide to hear: if on politics or
peaches I could make enthralling
speeches, then my life would grow
still brighter, year by year. After
many vain conjectures I once
took a course of lectures that folks
claimed would teach conversing
and all that; but in spite of my
endeavor am about as clever as
an airy chat. Oh, the merry jest
and sally must be an important
ally to the man who wants to make
a host of friends; and, while others
hopes are blighted, he is sure to
be invited to the very choicest
places for week ends. People come
in trans and lorries just to listen
to his stories, and he seems to have
a never-ending store; he has talks
for each occasion. tales Egyptian
and Eurasian, and the mob Is al
ways asking MIN for more. But a
talker once alarmed me, when I
pressed him he informed me that
such glory has to come in just one
way; if you want your hearers
waiting, keen to hear what you're
narrating, you must always have
a lot of things to say.

ADMIRAL CHESTER EXPLAINS
Iic Declares That His Concessions Will Increase Oil Supply and shorten Distance to Near East.

Distance to Near East.
 Washington. May 4.-The Chester concession in Turkey will not only
 result in increased supplies of oil but will shorten commercial lines from America to the Far East by 5000 miles, Rear Admiral Colby M. Ches- ter, retired. whose syndicate is to de- velop the territory, declared in an ad- dress last night before members of the National Press club.
 He spoke of the confidence the Turks have in America. believing that it is the one country that has no political axe to grind and desires no slice of Turkish territory" Declaring counter claims of other countries have no legal basis. he said that during the lcng negotiations leading up to the final favorable vote of the Angora assembly, he had been assured by of hcials of the British government that if his claims to the concession were sourd under the law they not only would not oppose 1t, but would sup port it. Opposition encountered by British sources. he added, was from interests. atlg
 The French claims, Admiral Ches- ter contended, also were without legal basis if for no other reason that their dating from 1914 had been abrogated by war between France and Turkey.
 Admiral Chester said one million dollars would be sought by popular to begin the financing of development.
