1T isn't the fact that Smith is such

MISS Smith, according to a New Yol<

one who wants to give a fictitious

There's always some nice boys
around who want to dance with US or
skate around couple of times. OF
course, you don't need any official in
PRODUCTION these days. and the boys
know it. So they come over and in
little while they're telling US where
they work and their telephone number
and how we look like their sisters,
and all that. It's all right. too, be-
cause you get used to that way of
getting acquainted, and it's much bet
ter than some funny guys, who try to
hand you line that they're in the
movies or doing fiction writing.

the Open Window.

The cold bath In the morning is q
social fetch that makes two clear
divisions Of mankind-the thoroughly
virtuous who do not shrink from the
full rigors and the Laodiceans who
play with the hot water tap. AS Gus
tom it may be peculiarly English, but
one hears less of a variation Of 1t
that has respectable authority, says
the Manchester Guardian.
Benjamin Franklin, while represent
Ing the American colonies in London,
wrote in one Of his informing letters
to a French correspondent that the
shock Of cold water hath always ap-
peared to me as too violent. and have
found 1t much more agreeable to my
constitution to battle in another ele-
ment-I mean cold air. With this
view rise early almost every morning
and sit in my chamber, without any
clothes on whatever, half an hour or
an hour, according to the season. either
reading or writing. The practice is not
in the least painful. but, on the con-
trary. agreeable. and If 1 return to
bed afterward, before | dress myself,
as 1t sometimes happens, l make
supplement to my nights rest of one
or two hours of the most pleasing sleep
that can be imagined"
Franklin was sixty-two at the time.
He had still to live twenty-five Of the
most active years Of his extraordinary
career, so that in his case cold-air
baths seem to have done no harm.
Franklin was before his time in his
belief in fresh air. and he wrote some
savage things about the "aerophobia
that at present distresses weak minds
and makes them choose to be stified
and poisoned rather than leave open
the window Of a bedchamber or put
down the glass of a coach"

Purpo&S,

Ambition is more than wish; 1t Is
desire intensified into determined pur-
pose. All that Is needed for the &C
complishment of our ambitions is de-
sire so strong that we will sacrifice
whatever may stand in the way of our
success. The law Of compensation
thing we must give up another. How
many people have you known who
complain Of failure through bad luck,
when your own knowledge of them
tells you that their downfall came
through lack Of really trying? They
were not willing to forego pleasures
or extravagances which interfered
with their success.
