PEACEFUL MEDIOCRITY

"John and Florence wed in simple ceremony"..."Anne Lindbergh wins affection of all by democratic sympathy"..."Hoovers pass quiet week-end with guests at Virginia camp"..."Prime Minister MacDonald and daughter dressed in height of simplicity"..."Jimmie Walker has forty suits".

"Youth Wife-slayer sleeps quietly"..."Bachelor Heir dies in bathtub"..."Smith girls are sorry for Elis"...Tipsy rooster leads the way to boss's still".

It is nothing new to point out the high price of fame and the high cost of being or doing anything the least bit out of the beaten path. For a long while, persons in one breath have pitied the great and the queer, and in the next have asked for more and more details.

There seems to be no death for unrestrained publicity. We can only rejoice in our simplicity and be glad that we are plain. The day that we attain fame and fortune is to be feared and dreaded. May we forever be humble folk who can call our lives our own.
