Wants Less Criticism

Dear Cynthia--It seems to me we
hear over-much these days about term
we call goodness" or IL quality we find
missing In our people of today. Any
thing which Is not conventional we call
bad. Everything we cannct regulate we
call degenerate or hopeless. We rave
about our modern girl We slam and
ridicule our modern boy. We think the
world is going crazy because a few
people keep their heads over their
as II humanity could fail!
Our girls and boys land am one of
them) need net so much to be found
fault with. but understood and helped
And 1t is not SO much the older folks
whom we need to show us, but rather
young people. like ourselves, who viii
stand up and show us the way: who
will show us that we are going on where
every ono else sees only retreat.
This present life is Il phase--a sort
OF evolution. There Is a brooding un-
rest which Is a rumbling prelude to
action. Surely there are young people
whose minds are not wholly occupied
with mere existence, Surely there are
young people preparing to carry ON new
and better works than we have had
and be tolerant. to understand one an
other. TO feel we are all united In the
common cause Of humanity We know
there are few wholly bad people--only
those who do not yet understand the
meaning OF life. They are. learning
our way
II we feel this, there will be less con-
Germ about 'lappers, less about he-yamps
less about paint and powder, less about
smoking and less about the virtues OF
the nations.
Tell me. are there any of Cynthia's
readers who will believe with me?

until they were nearing their destinat ton
that he spoke.
"Carol, will you let me take you home

be glad II looked out for you.'
lie knew instantly that he had said
the wrong thing, for Carol turned on
him angrily.
"How absurd you are, Tom; any one
would think that needed guardian "
Carol, you know how much care
for you and Nick. Hsimply presumed
on our long friendship when said
that"
Carols blue eyes were glittering. 1t
was plain to see that she felt his atti-

"Did Nick ask you to look out for

Tom flushed.
"Ccrtainly not. Nick did not mention

Carol, you asked me to take you home
last night, and l thought perhaps you
needed me. ] want you to know that
YOU can call on me If you do, that's

Instantly Carol was contrite. Tom
was just n blundering old dear. 1t
wasn't fair to blame him.
She leaned forward and put her hand
on his for moment.
Thank you. Tom. and forgive me
for being cross. I'm excited tonight;
Won see it's my first public appearance.

But she carefully avoided answering
his question as TO whether or not she
would 90 home with him after the per-
formance. Tom noticed that, and 1t
troubled him. He wondered, too. if
Carols excitement were due as much to
the play as it was to Jervis Britton. She
was in a reckless mood, too, and Nick
was away.
Suddenly Tom was furious with Nick.

Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
Sparkling Eyes

Sparkling Eyes
Her eyes sparkled with mischief"
writes the novelist. He's trying to read
character for you. He's describing an
outward, physical sign to designate an
inward mental condition. Or perhaps
he says, Her eyes sparkled with in.
terest. or maybe II was enthusiasm
with which he made raem sparkle.
lie has the answer to the sparkling
eye: lie speaks n truth from the ar
tistic standpoint, and Is but q shade off
IN scientific accuracy.
The point is this. Sparkling eyes do
not necessarily denote any particular
one OF the things he mentions, but they
40 denote that activity, rapidity and
directness of mental process which we
call high intelligence, and which makes
possible such things 0s mischief, keen
interest and enthusiasm.
Think 1t over. You never in your
life met n dull-witred person with a
sparkling eye. You may have run
across the uneducated persons, unlearned
persons, with that peculiar brightness
Of eye, that is so hard to describe in
any other terms than" '"spnrkling. But
in every case. withou, exception, the
normal. bright" eye denotes keen
mind.
OF course. drugs will sometimes make
the eyes shine. SO will insanity. But
even the drug bright eye has dullness
TO its sheen. and there is willness in
the insane eye. You cant mistake either
of them for the normally bright eye for
an instant.
