CULTIVATE THE
 PRAISE" HABIT

It is so easy to blame people. And it's just wonderful how easy it is to find fault. Faults in "other people are fearfully obvious. They simply stare at us. When an old sailor was told that Columbus discovered Amer ica, he said, That's nothin: I don't see how he could have missed it!''
 That's like discovering other peo- ple's faults. we just can't see how anyone could miss them. It is alto gether dierept when it comes to find ing virtues, however. Virtues are such coy little things. They hide away. Look for them under the faults and encourage them. Woo them to the surface with ind1y praise and you'll be surprised how they flourish. Nowadays, people who study children think it is WiSeSt to ignore faults as far as possible, and praise the virtues. however small they may be, to the fullest. It is wonderful how they respond to praise, and how they will try to live up to what, you expect of them.
 There are a lot of people in this world who take things .tooEn1ch for granted, particularly after they mar r--. In fact, people who take thinks for granted ought not to marry. .-r1ree s a great praise killer. When you were. >engaged,zyou would have thought it the strangest thing in the world if the only man had not r:t-ch ever your knitting, sewing, cro- chefting, CT the cake you make just for him, wouldn't you?
