SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
BY Helen Rowland,

no TO, my Daughter. Where
VI fore shall a man torment q
woman with the cold and bitter
truth. when a little fib will cheer
her spirit and soiace her vanity?
For 10, there be seven graceful
ways to deceive a woman. and
every one of them is amateur
proof!
Behold. there is the way OF the
diplomat, who talketh in the abb
stract and wooeth every damsel in
vague hints, sweet implications
and subtle gestures, but leaveth
always a drawbridge over which to
retreat.
And there is the way Of the
telephone liar, who cheerfully
fnaketh a thousand promises while
he is in a woman's presence, but
retracteth all his words with
graceful excuses when he reach
eth the first telephone booth.
And there is the way OF the
platonic friend, who admireth a
damsel for her mental charms
praiseth her wit and doeth the
''bluff and hearty" but whose
chumminess is but smoke screen,
and whose heart-to-heart talks end
always in lip-to-lip silences.
And there is the way OF the
Tired Business Man, who straineth
not his imagination, but leaveth
all his alibis to his stenographer.
For with a few miles of wire be-
tween them and a brave woman
to defend him, he feareth NO
damsel's comeback"
And there is the way of the
caveman, whose motto is Tell
them nothing Who lieth boldly
and without scruple when 1t
suiteth his pleasure, saying "That
which she doth not know, Will
not worry ME!'
And there is the way Of the
woman.tamer,. who saith it" with
flowers and glances and kisses,
but never with words, and keep
eth a damsel always hoping-and
guessing.
And there is the way Of the
perfect Ananias, who lieth for the
. pure love of lying-and always
artistically. For he rejoiceth more
to tell a beautiful lie than to tell
the simple truth, even when the
latter would better serve his pur-
pose.
Verify, verify, there are but two
brands of liars-the plain and the
fancy. But, of the fancy liars,
there are hundred varieties, and
all of them are standardized.
Wherefore, then, oh my Daugh-
ter, need any man shatter a
woman's vanity by offering her
the plain, unseasoned truth?

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. Louis 3. Bisch-

by DR.. Louis E. Bisch
TT is a curious fact that the
! handicaps we realize are not
the ones that are likely to retard
our progress or interfere seriously
with our happiness to success.
This is because, in the first
place, we automatically try to
correct what our attention is
called to, since the whole ten
dency of both body and mind Is
toward health rather than illness.
And secondly, conscious handi-
caps so often become assets in
disguise because Of the psyche
logical principal of overcompensa-
ton.
If 1 am not mistaken it was
the eminent physician, William
Osler, who said that If an in
dividual discovered early in life
that he had some chronic disease
the probability was he would not
die of that particular disease. but
of something different. He would
know how to take care of him
self so as not to allow the disease
to gain headway while, on the
other hand, some disease Of which
he was unsuspecting and there
fore careless about might suddenly
overwhelm him.
Overcompensation means that
you not only counteract the eff
fects of a handicap or cure 1t,
but you go step further and
become unusually proficient in
the very thing you were first
deficient in,
We know, for instance, that
Theodore Roosevelt was a weak,
sickly boy. He soon. however,
realized this handicap. Accord
ingly he made it his business to
develop his health and physique,
and he accomplished this so well
that he finally became unusually
strong and robust. This was
overcompensation.
Do not become afraid OF your
handicaps, therefore, no matter
what they may be. Recognize
them, find out all you can about
them and fight them to a finish.
1t may not be easy to discover
Just what you can do about a
handicap. But rest assured that
something can be done. Even II,
by chance, the handicap cannot
be removed--a case of lameness
or paralysis, let us say---certainly
some substitute activity can he
found that will make up for your
drawback, perhaps even repay
you doubly well.
