Il miss T. LIS so much now I'm out of
college," said Smith girl. mo one out
in the wide, wide world has a habit of
coming in gnatter-of-fact way to tell
me that Mary So-and-So thinks l do my
hair especially well, and then demanding
a compliment in return. 1t may seem
queer to non-Smith people unused to our
direct method of procedure, but we con-
slider compliment the personal property
of the person it concerns, and so wouldn t
think of keeping it to ourselves. When
you are discouraged or tired it does help
to hear sometbng nice about yourself,
even If it's merely that someone admres
your nose or likes the way you do your
hair. I'm thinking of founding national
society To further the exchange of Il. l.. S
and abolish the present method of con-
serving compliments for the day of one $
funeral
