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.
