Self-Complacency Few of us can resist the temp- tation to express an opinion. When our opinion is asked and when We have a feeling that it is to be looked upon as more or less authoritative, it is impossible to refrain. Even to have some one say to us, “Well, what will the Weather be tomorrow?” causes a certain glow of pride though we may be perfectly well aware that . we know nothing about it and "would have to admit that all of our Weather predictions in the past have been wrong. To have some one say, “What is the best play in New Yorki” is a question always sure of receiving a pro- found decision, and when some Esau actually asks how we think motor is running, the cup of human happiness threatens to run 9761’ and he is told, solemnly and in detail, although what keeps a :watch running —- someone else’s watch—may always to us seem one of the world's greatest myo teries. But pride too often brings about a fall and'theicxpent not infrequently gets into trouble, or “least is put to a temporary inc gottenienoe because (if the‘exer- *3 of his great knowledge in a hearse...amr°z 1°" at" ome.

O O U Speaking of exposure it reminds us of the notice that appeared in a Texas paper. when a colored church an- nounced baptismal services that were to take place in a certain river there on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. At the conclusion of the .announce- ment the parson wrote. “I hope no- body brings cameras." 0 O O . It's hard to satisfy some people. Here we go to the trouble of getting a new suit—of a. style and cut. and color that is radically different from anything we have worn since we first adopted long pants—and right away the ruby razzberry is given to us. e e e Our friends had said “Gee, I'll be gland when that horrible old suit of. yours is completely worn out" and of course the only thing we could say, was, "“‘ell, we wear it out every day."

The purchaser paid down 100,- 000 francs and agreed to pay the remainder in two installments. He died before doing this and the executors of his estate refused to pay the balance. The art dealer has now brought suit for $500,000, not against the estate of his former customer, but against Sir Joseph Duveen of Du- voeu Brothers, charging that this gentleman, who is considered an expert on' works of art, told one of the executors of the estate in question that the statue was neither genuine nor antique, or, to put it very bluntly, that it was a fake. It is also charged that. Sir Joseph told several other per- sons the same thing. Sir Joseph is reported to have said that the art world had reach- ed a lamentable state if an expert is to be haled to court every time he gives his honest professional: Opinion. The art dealer, discuss- ing his suit for slander against the art expert, says that it is vin- dication he wants rather than the half million dollars. He adds that he will give the money to the Metropolitan Museum of Art if he gets it.
