The surest way to kill the insatiable demon of publicity is to give it all it wants and more--to attend receptions, have pictures taken, and appear on the stage until the demand, disgusted with such easy prey, turns to more elusive subjects such as the reticent Mr. Coolidge or the secretive government of Rumania. With her contract in vaudeville finished, as well as her connections with movies, beauty clays, and other such gold mines, Miss Elder may retire, as safe from the headlines as the pilot...

"The only thing they talk about is athletics!" He strove to counteract this influence in his own family by the reading of good literature every evening after dinner--not without success; and he later prepared several volumes of graded selections of the best literature, to provide other parents' children with material for the cultivation of a taste for good reading; for, "good reading," he said...
