ID it evor occur to jou that a
certain amount of conceit
might bo n vnlunblo asset? An
n I'liln fittit liAfis-M tratilti ntitl
prldo derided nnd scorned. Wo all dls
llko tho conceited girl with her airs
and giaccs. And yet (hero aro many
persons walking tho globo who would
bo far bettor off for u little honest
conceit. Overmuch modesty In quite
as big a bane us over-much vanity, but
a modcrato amount of both make an
excellent combination.
Tho girl who is without a trace of
pride or vanity Is rather a hopeless
creature. Sometimes sho may pos
sess nn inuato senso of neatness,
which is ull that makes her pay any
attentlou to her appenranco nt all. Hut
such n one never makes tho slightest
attempt to improve her looks, because
sho considers herself boond tho pule.
You would bo surprised to know how
many such girls there arc. They are
not in tho majority, to be suic, bo
lauso tho avoiago feminine Mature
Is born with her own share of vanity.
Hut. nevertheless, theio nro all too
ninny who nro out of conceit villi
themselves nnd tho world. In most
enscs they would bo vastly improved
in cveiy way 'if they could learn to
think nioro of themselves.
A bit of vanity Is tcally Insplrlns. It
teaches ono to try to look ono s best
at all times. Tho girl who approves
even mildly of her own appearance is
earful not to allow herself to urn
down, but keeps herself up to a cer
tain maik which sho has set for her
self. If sho looks in tho glass one
morning nnd fluds her skin looking
lifeless sho sets to work rcpalrinx it
at once. Tho girl with a ccitaln
amount of conceit Is careful to uuy
only Iho clothes which mnko her ap
pear nt her best. Consequently,
though sho may not bo n pretty girl nt
all, yet sho always looks well.
Tho overmodest girl, cut tho con
trary, never takes the pains to study
Iter own good points. She makcn no
endeavor to enter tho lists for beauty,
but lets herself go, buying tho rlothca
that aro nt hand, without ascertaining
whether they bring out tho best or tho
worst In their nppcniancc.
Even u girl who Is Impossibly plain
In face and flguro need not nnd should
not bo without n spark of vanity. He
caiiBO if sho has enough conceit she
will mnko herself nttracllvo In oilier
ways besides In her npearance. Ono
sees many, ninny lustanccH where n
girl without a vestlgo of beauty has
far grcutor popularity with men and
women than her sister, who is lovely
to look upon.
Thero is no doubt of It nt all Hint a
llttlo vanity ducn moic to bring out a
girl's best than all tho modest) In tho
world. This docs not mean Hint wn
should let ourselves grow puffed nnd
silly with conceit, After nil, owr
weening conceit Is certainly a sign of
Infeilur intelligence, for no ono with
common senso would ever allow them
selves to become foolishly vain.
There ato always scores of others

more attractive moro gifted and moro

.She and her husband had been given

Tho amount was not very large, and

fascinating in its plalnncHS.
To begin with, tho room was a queer
old-fashloncd shape and had u small
open flroplaco of red bricks, with a
low broad mantlo over It. Tho tnblo
and chairs, in fact, every slnglo piece
of furnlturo was of the kind known ns

kitchen cupboard had bcou bought uud

dimming sideboard for tho silver, and
as the upper doors wcio latticed gluss.
tho pretty china wus not hidden. On
cither sldo of tho fireplace was a
small scat, originally Intended to bo
used ns a folding Iron table but tho
voung mistress of tho houso had srou
their possibilities, aud with tho help
of a little paint and a cushion or two
hud transformed thorn into cozy stats

toffee could bo xerved.
' Tho room was given color and char

odd be i' mugs with curious designs
and mottoes Insciibcd stood on the
mantel before u row of t anion blue
china plates, and the electric fixtures
in the walls had quaint blue and white
checked shades
It was simple and as inexpensively
