GOTTEN" PAST. In reality that
past is not forgotten, cannot be
forgotten. It lives on, and its
shadowy hand molds your present.
YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND,
OR BE HONEST ABOUT THE
SMALLEST ACT UNLESS YOU
UNDERSTAND THE TREMEN-
DOUS BACKGROUND OF THAT
ACT.
You have always thought that
it was easy to know yourself.
You are sure you know yourself.
Other people misunderstood YOU,
but you always understand your
self. But there isn't one chance
in a million that you do. You
are constantly lying to yourself,
failing yourself, double.crossing
yourself. Some of your fanciest
deeds have despicable roots. Some
of your worst plumbers spring
from lovely motives. You hate
yourself sometimes when you
should be proud Of yourself. Aud
you hang wreaths on yourself
sometimes when you should hand
yourself a swift kick.
YOU RE THE TRICKIEST
CROSSWORD PUZZLE ON
EARTH, MY FRIEND, AND
EVEN THE WISEST MEN DO
NOT KNOW HOW TO FILL IN
YOUR BLANKS.
So how can you be honest with
yourself in the. face of such ignor-
ance? You can't. But you can
be humble. The humber the
better.
AND YOU CAN BE TOLER-
ANT WITH THE OTHER Eel.
Low. FOR IF YOU KNOW so
LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF,
HOW DARE YOU JUDGE HIS
ACTS?

Go to. There be an hundred
reasons why men continue to
WOO women: ard the greatest of
these is HABIT.
For, alas, even as some men
have only one after-dinner story,
and others only one collar button,
many men have only one line OF
chatter for women. And kissing
a damseI is to them but second
nature and a matter of form.
And some men make love be-
cause they fancy themselves
Great Lovers. and seek to practice
their skill. For every woman is
to them but another conquest and
another sentimental experiment;
and NO damsel escapeth them!
And other men make love be.
cause they are filled with secret
conviction that every damsel
ExPECTETH it. And to dis
appoint a woman would be a
breach of etiquette. Therefore 90
they kiss every damsel out of
pure courtesy.
Behold. many men make love
to a woman because they suspect
in their hearts, that if they do
NOT WOO her. some other man
WILL. And no man can endure
that any other man should beat
him at his own game.
And more men make love he
cause it Is easier to kiss a woman
and tell her how wonderful she
is. than TO explain TO her whv
they do not especially care to
kiss her.
