But underneath that shell
Edwin Is still a sensitive. unat.
tractive little hoy. For long
spaces of time he can forget
that. His belief in the brilliant,
naughty Edwin has grown to such
proportions that he rarely remem-
bers that other Edwin. But when
he is alone or discouraged, or
when he is confronted by the
charm and courage and intelli-
gence of more vital people, that
other Edwin rises like a shivery,
gray ghost and mocks him.
That's why Edwin is a con-
ceited young squirt. Psychologists
call that shell which Edwin has
grown a DEFENSE" We see
many such defenses.
The roaring rudeness Of the
bully Is often a defense which he
has raised that you may not
suspect his true cowardice.
The careless. brittle chatter of
some seemingly hard woman is
often a defense which covers a
broken heart.
The malicious bitterness of an
other woman is a blind over a
hungry. lonely spirit which has
been denied the love and romance
which her life so sorely needed.
The elaborate propriety of a
certain worthy covers an inner
meanness that would make
respectable sewer blush.
The bigoted zeal OF a reformer

Edwin gets that way for a
pathetic reason which few people
suspect. They see the super,
cilious. surface mannerisms. the
rudeness and conceit. But there's
something under that surface
which few realize.
Edwin was a homely, sickly
little boy. He had inherited a
frail physique and his mothers
coddling intensified his tenden-
cies toward weakness. She would
not let her darling play with
rough, common little boys. If he
grew weary she fused over him.
If he became frightened she
soothed him and rebuked all those
who had disturbed him. If he
was peevish, the whole house
was upset.
Yet in spite of all this care,
Edwin found life cruel. He soon
realized that other boys were
stronger and drawer than he,
more resourceful, more attrac-
tive. No amount of maternal
solicitude could save him from
their jeers and singing ridicule.
They called him a "sissy"-a
''tattletale'-a coward"
Edwin hated those other little
boys. He hated the little girls
who preferred those other boys
In a queer furtive way he hated

PARIS UNVEILS STATUE
TO SARAH BERNHARDT
Speakers Praise Actress as Unfor-
gettable, "Queen of Attitude,
Princess of Gesture"

Nv Cable to The Star and New York World
PARIS, June 12.-Paris today
reverently unveiled a monument to
Sarah Bernhard as a lasting testi-
mony to the universal affection and
admiration in which the world held
the great actress. The academician,
Jean Richepin, said in a speech at the
Inauguration, Every one realized
while she was yet living that her
glory would make her figure
legendary
The monument, erected in Place
MaleSherbes, is the work of Francois
Sicard, and represents the Divine
Sarah in the role of Phedre, which
she played with such contained emo
ton and delicacy that those who saw
her in this tragedy retain ineffaceable
memories Of it.
The actress, draped in flowing
robes, is reclining on her elbow. The
whole is executed in marble.
The president of the municipal
council, tracing Bernhardt's career,
spoke of an enthusiasm bordering on
delirium which she inspired all over
the globe He declared she was a
historic figure even during her life
time.
The minister of fine arts said that
to see her live was even more as
founding than to see her act. Queen
of attitude, princess of gesture, he
described her.

INVADER IS LEADING
IN Upton CUP RACE
Yachts Leave San Pedro on
2,225-MiIe Contest to
End at Honolulu.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated fNTeSb.
SAN PEDRO, Calf, June 12.-
Showing into first place few minutes
after the start here today of the 2,225-
mile yacht race to Honolulu, Don
Lees 136-foot schooner, Invader, was
steadily lengthening her lead as the
six cOntenders for the Sir Thomas
Upton Cup dipped below the horizon.
She was a half mile ahead Of the
yawl Poinzettia, dark horse in the
biennial yachting classic, while John
Barrymore's Mariner, which won the
Tahiti race last year and had been
picked as the favorite in the present
race, was q close third.
The yawl Mollilu was tagging be-
hind the Invader and the PoinZettia,
choosing a course because 1t led close
to the Palos Nerdes Hills. where the
wind was stronger and less surface
current was encountered.
The San Diego entry, Teva, was
splitting tacks with the Mariner and
holding her own. The 40-foot schoon-
er. Jubillo, smallest craft in the fleet,
which got over the line even with the
Invader. dropped ground rapidly to
the beat Of the turning mark at Point
Fermin, and then hauled on the star
board tack with the intention of pass
ing to the eastward of Catalina Is
land, instead of beating up to the
westward in the wake of the rest.
When last seen she was making good
time across the channel, escorted by
a flock of sailing craft loaded with
friends, who were cheering the little
craft on.
A dozen yachts followed the racing
craft until shortly before darkness
fell, when the entire fleet had passed
Catalina Island and entered the stiff
coastal northwest wind, which will
carry them about 500 miles to sea
until they pick up the northeast
trades.
