YOUR RONT” What impression do you make on other people— larly when you are introduced to strangers? And what is your attitude or “front” in trying to get something you -want? Here’s.a tip along that line, from Clemenceau. He pauses in a speech and says: =slightly.” Judging from the arguments he starts, “slightly” is right. But powerfully effective on an audience is Clemenceau confidential admission that he feels a trifle timid. In this age of “rush-’em-off-their-feet” aggressiveness, timidity and Shyness are rare qualities As in Clemenceau’s case, they appeal as a craving jor af- fection, for attention, for respect. While shyness is rare among the bulk of people, it is be- coming quite the fashion among the shrewd and cunning, to affect an air of modesty and meekness. Once the speaker forcefully thumped his fist on the table and declared, “I tell you so-and-so and I know what I’m talking about.” : The same speaker now says, in effect: “My great reputa- tion for wisdom probably is an over-estimate of my humble self. But, from all I can Jearn after patient and thorough investigation, it seems to me,” ete., etc. The psychology of this is that it appeals to reason—and to the hearer’s vanity, by deluding him into the belief that he is asked to pass judgment. “T will tell you that Iam rather timid The “know-it-all” attitude, backed by “rush-’em-off-their feet’ tactics, breeds resentment and even disdain. Salesmen, first to sense a change in popular psychol- ogy, are shifting from aggressiveness to an oily, cunning “approach” to what they’re after. In courting # woman, a man makes faster progress by gentleness, smooth tact and the shrinking that attracts sym- pathy. As his share, and that no one seems to understand and sympa- thize with him. The English are notoriously succe because they handle situations with velvet gloves and soft words, more effective than bluster, threats and force. You cannot get sympathy by waving an ax. But you can get it by’ pointing mournfully to the ax and admitting that you dread to-use it. Lincoln said something about molasses tatching more flies than vinegar.

I seribbled a line of acceptance. 1 felt, as I descended into the lounge that evening, a premonition that life for the next few hours was going to be very interesting indeed. At eight o'clock, precisely Mrs. De Mendoza came into the lounge. She was wearing a white lace even- ing dress, with an ermine wrap ‘|which hung loosely around -her, dis- closing the pearls undernéath. Her entrance made a mild sensation. Mr. Stanfield, who was seated in his ac- customed corner, drinking his cock- tail, watched our meeting and de- parture into the/restaurant with ob- vious surprise, “The little mah was there again who stares at me so much—Mr. Stan- field, I think you called him?” she remarked as we took our places, | I nodded. a “I dare say he was'surprised to see us together,” I said. “I asked him who you were, on the night of my arrival here.” “Why?” “For the’ same reason that a great many other people ask the sam. question,” I replied.

I turned the conversation to the subject of the necklace. The pearla were collected for her, she told me, by her husband, some in India, some in the Malay states, some in Paris, some in Rio.
