Where Your Dollar Buys More z POPP eS WHY Boasting Is Comparatively Un- wn in Japan “To boast,” said my Japanese friend, “is, according to our point of view, one of the cardinal sins. We so de test boasting that we go to the other extreme, deprecating anything or any- bedy connected with ourselves. when some one says to me, brother has amassed a great fortu he must be a man of great ability will reply: ‘He is not so very able. Perhaps he is only lucky.’ As a mat ter of fact, it happens that my broth- er is a man of exceptional ability. But I must not say so; it is not good form for me to praise his qualities. “In speaking of our wives and chil- dren we do the same. We say, ‘my peor wife,’ or ‘my insignificant wife,’ although our wives may fulfill our idea of everything a woman should be. “Also the reverse of this proposition is true. We sometimes signify our dis approval or dislike of some one by speaking of him in terms of wo high praise. “Among ourselves and these things. we follow. But I fear that this prac- tiee sometimes “causes foreigners to misunderstand us. Being themselves accustomed to speak literuily, the are inclined to take us so, Also, they are not likely to realize that we are most critical of those for whom we have profound regard. Why should we waste our time or our critical con- sideration upon persons who mean nothing to us or whom we dislike? “Yet, after all,” he continued, with a little twinkle in his eye, “human na- ture is much the same the world over.

Tom brought his bride to the little of the first ships from England. the first everyone said Tom's marriage | would be @ fatlure.

Instead of helping Jean's cas this only sewed to antagonize them | the more, for everyone hates to be proved in the wrong. No one ever called twice, an unspoken agreement among the town tadies to slight Jean as much as possible, Tom was a member of the country club, so he took his bride to several of the Saturday night dances, where she was rather popular with the men. | Naturally she was a splendid dancer. She was pretty, too, and men found her the best of company. She would have been just as friendly and amus- ing with the women, but they never gave her a chance. At first she thought she could get along very nicely with- out the approval of the women, but she scon found that the married men no longer asked her for dances, and even some of the younger ones began to show the influence of mothers and | sisters. Of course it made Tom very unhappy, for this was his “home town,” and he intended to spend a good many | years there. He spoke of it to Jean just once, for when he saw the hurt look In her eyes he realized that after all it was hardest on her. In the end Jean found that she real- ly didn’t care whether they approved of her or not, for deep In her heart she | knew them for what they were. This | is how It came about: It was a fearfully hot night in Au- gust, almost too hot to dance anyhow, when she and Tom arrived at club rather late. Jean walked the dressing room, ed with women. There was nothing strange in that, for it was usually a favorite resort between dan But there was something strange in the way they were standing around whis- pering. Something In the atmosphere suggested panic. As Jean entered she heard a whisper. “She's been sick for a week and no one has been near her but the doctor, and he can’t even get a nurse to take the case. My dear, she’s got— The speaker saw Jean and turned her back quickly, so the last word was lost. Jean walked into the room and saw a girl sitting in a huge chair. Her pretty face was ghastly and she was talking hysterically to the wome near her. “I rede out from town with her the day she was taken tll,” she was saying. into “My God marked,” | Her voice rose in a trembling cres cendo and broke. Jean stared at her, a look of horror slowly dawning tn her eyes. She turned and walked quietly from the room and stood for a moment on the veranda, contemptat- ing a search for Tom. She decided against it because she knew he would try to prevent what she intended to do. if I get it my face will be She hurried home and changed She packed a bag and, leaving a note on the table for Tom, she stole out a side door and across the field to the doctor's. She found him preparing to go out and his face was white and “Il am golng out on an Important | case,” he said, “so if you're not ter- ribly ill 1 can't stop now.” | Jean explained her errand and over- | came the doctor's resistance, He ex- pected the crisis that night and he was greatly in néed of help, even as inex- perienced as Jean's would be.
