w ones under foot, we know
that Autumn Is really here, the ~ ost
wonderful time in all the year. The
listlessness Of Summer has gone, and
energy flows through us with such a
rush, that we feel we must be up and
doing, although every hour we spend
indoors, even to make things beauti-
full for the winter Is begrudged. Yet

and at once suggests the Autumn set
ting. So many windows and an open
e-place, with even one in the dining
room.
To me a dining room fire Is always
a bit of luxury. Something that starts
the day with cheer and brightness
which holds all day, and helps dissi-
pate whatever fogs may arise later.
With mission wood work. nothing
seems to blend so well as the Autumn
colors-crinsons, browns. and gold,
with as little furniture as lis needed
to be comfortable, and a studied sim
plicity, which to the uninitiated, al
most look bare.

love the word "poise.'' To me It
il one of those words which sound
like the quality they express-like
''pesce." for instance; or serenity
or foreclosures" And love the
quality the word stands for. To my
mind it is a quality which the young
people Of this country need to cult
vate more than almost any.
The other day. at the request Of q
little friend Of mine, went with her
to cali on some people whom she adj
mtres but stands in awe of. She is q
very bright little girl. but nervous and
self conscious. Before we made the
call we had been discussing a new
telligent appreciation OF 1t. The same
book came up for discussion at her
friends home and what was my sur
prise to hear her say that she did not
like 1t. and make q childish comment
upon it which was exactly opposite to
what she had previously said.
Afterwards asked her what had
made her change her mind SO sudden
ly. II didn't change my mind at all, .
che answered; that was just because
was nervouB. She asked ME- about
it Unexpectedly and said the first
thing that came into my head. I didn't
mean to say that and I was ashamed
afterwards. But that's the way do
when I'm nervous. 1 say the first
thing that comes into my head and
I'm often surprised at the things I
hear myself saying"
Now, poise was what that girl need
ed. With q little better balance, q
proper hold on herself, and q more
thorough control OF her faculties she
could have made q good impression.
Al 1t was, I am afraid she made q
poor one, for she showed her lack of
poise not only by saying things she
didn't mean. but by talking too fast
and too much. by laughing too loudly.
and by moving restlessly about in her
chair and playing continually with a
chain she wore instead OF sitting at
ease and letting her hands rest quietly
on the broad chair arms as her gra-
cious and well poised hostess did.
think q great many young people
and older people, too-fatls to do
themselves Justice at critical times
because OF this nervous lack OF pOise.
They say things they don't mean and
fail to say the intel Il ert things they
marks and commit breaches OF eti-
quette: and all simply because they
lose hold Of themsclS es and scarcely
know what they are Dc ING.
Learn to get hold Of yourself. Il il
necessary foundation for social sue
cess. When you see that you are
losing yourself, stop, take q long
breath and force yourself to regain
your pofse. Pause. If necessary, be-
fore speaking till you can collect your
thoughts and know just what you
want to say. Speak slowly but get tho
right words. Don't fidget, don't laugh
or. speak loudly. and don't be afraid !;
nobody is going to eat you. Remem-
Der that underneath. these people of
whom you are SO much afraid are
nothing but just folks.
II you know the simple rules Of eti-
quette (and IL you don't you should
, get a book tomorrow and study them)
and II you cultivate the habit Of poise,
you will soon cease to do yourself in
justice when you most desire to appear
at your best.
