There are certain types ot neorle we
11 meot and all find undr-elrable. We
would like to avoid them, but. since we
cannot the next best thing to do In
to avoid their ec
centricities.
If we cannot like
them.. let ua not be
Ilka them.
Ther la the
woman who appro
priates all the
space ahe can In
public conveyances.
Two people could
occupy the space
she occupies In
trolley car or stage.
Tou swing upon
the strap In front
of her. and your
parcel fall upon
her lap and at her
feet. She looks
coldly into space, while you glance ap
peallngly at the small place which might
be made larger between her and her
neighbor.
If you are aggressive and ask her to
"please move along" she glares at you
and moves a few Inches. You might ss
well try to push the Pyramids along as
to make auch a woman budge an Inch
farther than she chooses. Looking at her
lace, you will find self written on every
feature oold, unloving, selfish eyes, stub
born, selfish nose and unsweet, selfish
mouth. Her soul has been choked and
kept out of sight by her poor, petty, self.
' This same small self has chiseled and
' fashioned her' face. Figuratively speak
ing, the woman Is standing in front of
herself and obstructing her own vision.
Then there Is the ready bluffer the
woman whose proposed achievements al
ways overwehlm the uninitiated. Won
derful things are about to happen always
to this woman, to judge by her talk. She
' 15 on the eve of sailing, her passage Is
engaged. Yet she never goes. When you
meet her soon afterward . and ask her
how it happens that she did not go abroad
she has a long story to tell you, but
ends always with new date fixed for
thf drlayed Journey, though possibly It
has taken an opposite direction.
The professional bluffer Is of the same
pattern, she U about ,to sing before the
nuocn-ln private audience or she Is on
the eve of signing a contract to go Into
grand opera, or she Is to start 6ut with
a company of her own In a few eeks,
or she has a book ready for the press
which all the publishers are fighting ever.
or she Is engaged to take an Important
powitlon or. the leading newspaper of the
! (ly-uiiti you meet her again. Then sh
lias a new repertoire of remarkable things
which arc about to happen.
It Is so much wiser to let our actions
Sjcaa ror themselves In this world than
hi ni'raia uicm witn much talk.
The ready bluffer waste In words the
vital forro she needs for the execution
of her plans. There Is a tremendous
force in silence -Oort did not talk about
the world. lie made It and let it speak;
for Itself. Always tfor the elements
show their greatest ' power there Is a
hush.
The woman who knows all about the
family history of your friend and who
carries the key to their skeleton closets
is familiar to all humanity. No matter
whom yon mentlon-a rtrangcr, as you
suppose, from another town, who is com
ing to visit you or whom you have visited
-she straightway sets forth on" a recital
of the doing of the grandparents or more
distant relatives of your friends. She
knew the aunt at school or was brides
maid at the uncles vcdillng, and re
counts what a scamp "he proved to be,
etc. . ,
If you seem embarrassed by her nar
rative she conciliates yoH by 'remarking
that every flock has a black sheep, and
that the wool of the white ones Is all
the fairer by the contrast! And she con
cludes with a brilliant and original refer-,
ence to the small size of the world, after
all.
It Is excellent to know some things We
do not tell.
If chance has given you a peep Into the
skeleton closet of your friend's irlend
there Is no need to carry the kep In your
hand ready for Instant use. There is no
lew against hiding other peoples se-crets.

"Say. this Is Bill Wolf." reported the
fchlclt one- "Say, I got him! Do you
know where Pinknam'a is?"
"Yes!" unexpectedly shrilled Mrs. Blye.
"Well, your husband's gonna be there
In half an hour and meet the gal!"
, "June Warner?" Bnapped Mrs. Blye
violently.
' "That's the name," said Billy Wolf. "I
Tieard him say It half a doxen times.
Honoiia was hastily preparing to go
out when a sudden thought rame to her,
and she called up Ned Warner. He had
Just arrived at the lonely apartments
which June and he had fitted up with
such care. .
"Well, Mr. Warner,", came the parrot
like voice of Honoris, ''your wife Is to
meet my husband n the offices of Ben
jamin Plnknam, in, the Bond Security
building. In half an 'hour."
The coast was quite clear when Mrs.
Vlllard arrived opposite the O'Keefe
house..
Sammy came out on the doorstep.
"Do you know .where Mrs. O'Keefe
livesT This lady says she has a young
lady friend stoppin' there, and"
is it Mrs. Vlllard?" asked Sammy,
and he exchanged a pleasant smile with
the lady.
"Tea, Indeed. Is Miss June at home?"
"No," he grinned, "but you come
right In."
, The coast was still clear when, a few
minutes later, Mrs. Vlllard and June and
' Marie and Bouncer and a huge buiulle of
clothes came out of the passageway be
tween ttje O'Keefe and McPherson houses
and climbed into the car.
In front of one of the tallest of those
mighty towers which commerce has
reared as monuments to its Imperious
Jiway Mrs. Vlllard led June through
portals of a majesty which would have
graced a cathedral in older days. June,
lost in the beauty of this entrance, did
not notice a peculiar circumstance. Mrs.
vuiard had dtsmlwMfd her car, sending

"Why, my dear," he: said, "this la ani

Walt Jubt a moment?' V And he glanced
apprehensively toward his private office,
where a small, impatient man, with his
gloved hands clasped on a cane, sat ner
vously. "I don't think I shall" need to wait."
Ami the woman glanced around the re
ception room. Her glance swept Just
above .lie head of Mrs. Vlllard, but it
swept downward as it came to June.

This is tbe veteran golfer's chant, and sometimes 'the) grinning

The Impatient little man leaned forward

at his desk, but no attention waw paid to

speaking terms with the first? W. R.
A gentleman always removes his hat
when he meets a woman he knows upon

women makes It permissible for a man
who Is escorting one to be rude to another.
It Is Improper.

v The. applo growers of -California, Ore

orchard teachers of this country. They
made the farmers' of the east realize .that
apples might, well be taken seriously
that they were' not a sort of garden

The flooj river valley apples have, at
tained an international, reputation.. This
Hoed river valley la one of the mot

imagine. The cool nights and the warm
sunshine of the days seem to contribute
exactly the-right conditions for apple
culture However, there are many other
districts that can produce Just as 'good
fruit' aa the Hood" river valley, provided
the same amount of genius Is brought
to beaf. ' , .
I admire 'the Hood river valley apples,
but. I admire,, the Hood river people more.
They have brought genius to bear In' th
business - of apple culture , and appl

In Kngland, I have paid a shilling for
an American apple and had it brought In
on a sliver platter with the original wrap

a little proud- of the . fact that people in
America occasionally do their work, so
superbly well. - ,
And, as the years go by, apple culture
will receive a degree ot attention that It
has never hd 1 before. Fruits, vegeta

Just as Important aa corn, wheat and
oats, and perhapa a little more so.
