Spaniard, whose ancestors had at

country, receiving it as grant from
the Spanish king, when Spain owned
that beautiful part of America.

LISTEN, WORLD!
Being Understood
By ELSIE ROBINSON

I've just mopped up after Enid 5
tears. About once a month she comes
in and starts all the varnish on my
desk with the briny dampncss Of her
grief. It's always the same old yclp.
She ISN'T UNDERSTOOD"
Enid has never been understood.
Her father and mother understood all
the other five children but they left
her out. Ditto her sisters and her
| brothers. They never even TRIED
TO understand her. In fact, when she
tried to explain herself, they snecrcd
at her with that savage brutality
familiar to anyone who has had sisters
or brothers.
When she went to school, it was
the same thing. Her teacher didn't
understand her. Neither did her play
mates. Nor did graduation and en-
trance into the business world bring
relief. Her Boss didn't understand
her. And the girls in the office went
out of their way to be catty.
When she met Fred, she thought
that at last she had found someone
who would plumb the depths of her
lonely, suffering soul. And for a little
while, Frederick seemed to be crazy
over the job. Then he too became in
diffcrcnt-hideously, wickcdly indit-
fcrent. Now she has been married
seventeen years and is thirty-eight
years of age. And in all that time Not
One Single Person Has Ever Under
stood Her
Sound familiar, doesn't it, Pal:
You've met humans like that. Prob
ably you've been one yourself. Most
of US have. at some time in our lives.
Fact is, there's nothing we'd like bet
ter right now than TO have someone
devoting about % hours out of the
"a to understanding and sympathizing
with Us.
I've often wondered about that trait
in humans. We speak of it so glibly,
as though it were a reasonable, even
a beautiful request to make of our
fellow man. And yet there could hard
ly be anything more unreasonable or
silly than to expect that other people
should understand us.
Ir the first place, it's such a CON
CEITED demand. Why on earth
should we expect other people TO make
us the focus of their intention? It's
man sized job to understand another
person and it is the grossest selfish
ness to demand that others should
give us that much of their affection

/ and thought. There are times when
we have the right to expect that dc.
gree of devotion, but such times are
rare.
If the truth were known, it really
| isn't understanding we want at all.
It's the exquisite FLATTERY of con-
slant attention that we crave. We want
to hog tic the limeliGht. Only as
usual We try to cover that crave with
a ritzy alibi.
Not only is this desire conccitcd,
but it shows amazing stupidity on our
parts.
THE LAST THING ON EARTH
WE SHOULD DESIRE Is TO BE
UNDERSTOOD.
IF OUR FRIENDS REALLY UN.
DERSTOOD US FOR EVEN ONE
SECOND, THEY'D AVOID US
THEREAFTER AS THOUGH WE
HAD THE PLAGUE.
Our personalities are not a pleas
ing scramble inside. We are built
upon layers and layers of instincts
and desires which have come down TO
us in the process of our spiritual
and physical evolution, the existence
of which would amaze and tcrrify us,
il they were once revealed. Our most
casual acts spring from motives we
ourselves can't analyzc. There is
beauty in us. But there is also enough
cowardice, fear and brutality to stock
Il ZOO.
So take it from me. Pal, if you've
not understood. YOU'D BETTER
OFFER UP A HYMN OF THANKS
GIVING. The binder my friends arc
about my real nature the better I'll
be pleased

NEGOTIATIONS OF A WIFE

She that succecdcth in making a

anything ELSE in life; and she that

Go to. Neither fame nor glory nor
