Nature has a way of
 Reasserting Herself

N1OT so very strange after all is IN the case of the Atlanta woman, who palmed off orphaned babies as her own It was nature asserting it. self
 In simpler times it was tantamount to disgrace for a married woman to have no children Such woman was pointed at with more or less scorn by her child-bearing sisters Sarah and Anna prayed for children and the mother of Samuel achieved motherhood by dedicating her child to the service of Jehovah.
 The female is instinctively moth- CT She is that long before she thinks of sweethearts A two-year-old girl plays with dolls and calls them her babies. Males are incidents in femi- nine life, motherhood is in the blood of woman

TO THE SELF-CONSCIOUS
BY H. AddingtOn Bruce


~ ECENT discussion of self-consciousness
* has brought to me a number of inter-
esting letters from readers detailing
their personal experiences as former victims
of this malady of diffidence, awkwardness,
and embarrassment. Describing also the
manner of their cure, they offer some help
full hints to those afflicted as they used to be,
One and all they emphasize the Importance
Of courageous effort as remedial factor.
The selc-cOnsciouS, they insist, will be self
conscious long they supinely lament
their self-consciousness and try to avoid sit
uations provoking it,
There should be, on the contrary, a de-
liberate and frequent testing Of ones powers
of sef-control. AS New Jersey correspond
ent, Mr.. R. C. D.. writes:
1.-THE hard taskmaster of experience has
taught me that a person thus afflicted should
seek out occasions for self-conquest in this
respect. The only way to conquer self-con-
seriousness is to go manfully right straight
against it, to take the bull by the horns with
both hands solidly.
II myself have had to suffer terribly on &C
count Of self-consciousness. When at col
lege l would tremble from head to feet when
ever obliged to appear before the class.
"But I made up my mind to conquer. I
purposely took part in an elocutio-. contest,
only to make fool of myself. Which ex-
cellently served my purpose
ITO make a long story short, I do not now
know what it is to be bashful or self-con-
scious. The struggle against my former
tormentor has made me stronger"
Other conquerors of self-consciousness
testify to the help to be obtained from self
suggestion. Here for example, is the way
Miss M. N, of Oh cago, cured herself of self
consciousness:
From about the age of fifteen I suffered
mental agony when in company. A few
years ago I went to work for prominent
man. Every time l was called into his office
to take dictation l vas unhappy and uneasy
and could hardly answer questions intelli-
gently.
cat last 7 got mad about it. I reasoned
to myself that 1 was just as bright as a good
many people and a good deal brighter than
some, and that there was no sense in my not
receiving credit and advancement for my
work just for this one reason.
''I also reasoned that if people could find
fault with me and things to laugh at, I
could find great many things wrong with
them and things to laugh at. And I made il
point to pick out companions who had a
lot of nerve, and unconsciously acquired some
of it,
What is public opinion, anyway, if one
acts always so that his conscience is absolute
ly clear and gives to every one courteous
and square deal? You can then look every
body in the face with a steady eye and feel
that you are not an INFERIOR
To be sure, there are some pc pie so alb
normally self-conscious that they require
medical aid-the aid of trained medical
psychologist-to obtain emancipation. But
it is safe to say, is within the reach
of the great majority if they will but strive
as these correspondents did, to gain greater
courage and a better opinion of themselves
and their capabilities
