R. wauld indignantly deny that she had a drop of conceit in her. She would assure you that she knows the unpopularity of the con- ceited girl, and she'd rather die than have people think her vain. She'd say: “Why, I don’t talk over much about myself. 1T certainly don't call “people’s attention to. all my charms and virtues. T don’'t spend the entire day admiring myself in the mirror, No one can say I'm con 1t's ridiculous.” . Neverthelees, a. great many people are saying that little B. thinks she’s Just about the grandest specimen of appealing feminity that ever lived. How do they get this way-—none of her friends “are psycho-analysts or mind-readers, vet they've all doped | her out—just by listening to her. First you must be told what she looks like—she is tall, slim, blonde, graceful. self-possessed and emart. Rather catty and shrewd. she has a quick wit. She is cool and sophisti- cated. Listen to her then, talking about Marcella: ‘‘Yes, she's nice enough. but. my dear, much too short to bé really smart. Oh, do you think so?” Oh, 1 don't think short people ever iook really smart And she doesn't. She thinks tall. slim people have the monopoly on style. Very well, she takes Adellne up for discussi “Adeline’s_pretty in A dark way. But somehow dark beauty fsn't’ so effective. Dark, hair doesn’'t show up a= well as blonde.

She talks the same way about those unfortunates whose bitter lot it is to be sweet and shy rather than so- phisticated and daring like her charming self. She has no use for any type of clothes save that which she wears best. All other raiment is disposed of with the remark: “Pretty. yes, but the sort of girl who wears froc! like those must always be dowdy.” B. isn't unusual.

For._a long time the wonder of men ‘has heén excited by the fact that small coral {alands are generally atolls—that is, rocky rings, with a large circular lake in the center, like a huge dough- nut. There. was no obvious reason why this -should ‘be 8o, until Darwin suggested an explanation which is a triumph of geological imagination. The South Seas, where these atolls chiefly occur, is, as {s well known, volcanic. Darwin suggested that old voloanoes gradually disintegrated and sank into the sea and that corals built their colonies around the mountains, creeping up in order to stay in the shallow water that they like, as the volcanoes sank. When the crest was reached the corals could bulld no far- ther, and the crater formed the hollow lake in the center. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday’s Questions. 1.
