THERE is a curious and very
1 much mistaken idea that by
talking of our grievances and our
troubles, we decrease their pow
er over us to make us miserable.
Instead, by dwelling on them we
reinforce their power. We not
only do this, but we scatter the
seeds of their discomfort, as we
unburden our hearts, and a whole
new crop of disturbing thoughts
enters into the minds of those who
bear with us during our outpour-
ing of words.
Making Misery.
II the person to whom we speak
Is near and dear to us, our
troubles weigh on them almost as
their own. We are unWittingly
the cause to them of an added
weight of discordant thoughts,
and perhaps they -rfay be trying
to get the better of their own
bothers.
Sympathy Versus Help.
We have only to consider the
effect on ourselves of listening to
others talk of their worries, mis-
fortunes, and hard luck, to real
ize the depressing power OF such
conversation. It is seldom we can
do anything to help them. In fact
persons who talk of their troubles
seldom do it to get helpful sug-
gestions. They are bespeaking
sympathy and often are disturbed,
hurt or annoyed, when they get
advice, even though it be. excel

record-breaklng journey from Europe,
Penelope was not so tired that she
wished to retire early. She Joined In
the general conversation, and Stephen
noticed that she seemed inclined to be
arglmentative. but her arguments In
dictated no cogent thought; frequently
she employed the patois of the under
world; her language was racy and
ldlomatic. He noticed that her laugh
was sudden, loud-rhe laugh of vul-
garian. She was nervous: her hands
tWined and intertwined continuously,
she moved about the room great deal,
