Everybody likes to be praised Yet
tan tradition that, there is something
very dangerous about praise, that it
puffs up unduly and softens and
weakens the moral fiber Of the re-
cipient. Praise to the face is open
disgrace" Is an old proverb on which
many of us have been unfortunate
enough to be reared, with consequent
loss of self-assurance.
1t is really flattery. not praise, that
so to have confused the two that
honest praise comes with stin awk-
wardness from Anglo-Saxon lips If at
all. For honest praise, recognition
of sincere effort and real achievement
Is the best oil there is to lubricate
sening friction instantaneously. Real
praise. given with intelligence and
sincerity. does no harm. It does more
good than we can measure. 1t Is
really the payment Of q debt of ap-
probation. q debt that we owe to
CT ave it for our own efforts.
II women would think more Of their
duty and privilege in giving. praise
where justly due, to their own
bands, children. servants, friends and
enemies, to teachers, doctors, minis
ters. butchers. bakers and CANDLE
stick makers, it would make life
much smoother. We certainly fnd
fault very readily with all these folk,
and the point about finding praise In
stead of fault is its subjective effect
upon ourselves as much , as upon
those whom we praise. Like Shake
speare's mercy, 1t is twice blessed,
blessing him that gives. and him that
takes.
; To learn to praise justly is not in
itself a difficult task. and one who
has learned 1t has made herself q
truly valuable critic, constructive and
inspiring to those around her hope-
fui and cheerful for herself.

planking your FISH, turn on both
burners under the oven and lay the
plank in the bottom Of the broiling

lift It onto the bottom of the oven to
brown delicately. basting frequently
with butter and lemon Juice. When
done serve from the plank. or slide
