WHY WE DO WHAT WE Do
BY DIR. MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

You go to a restaurant, and while
you are wondering what to order the
waiter places a fine dish of corned
beef and cabbage on the next table.
You make up your mind Immediately.
You want corned beef and cabbage un.
less you thoroughly dislike it. You
are in the grip of the twin laws of
suggestion and imitation.
If you stand on a busy street and
gaze toward the sky, there will soon
be a score Of people around you doing
the same thing. We are initiative
creatures. We want what others
have. We do what others are doing.
We initiate manners, conduct, dress
almost everything.
We do these things because we are
born with social impulse which
makes us want to be in the swim, to
take part in the life OF our fellows.
Take the case Of ordering the corned
beef and cabbage, for example. When
the dish appears, 1t stimulates your
senses. 1t is vivid, concrete. actual.
Your notion Of other good dishes Is
too abstract.
AS the sight of the corned beef and
cabbage gets your eye and the odOr OF
1t fills your nose and palate, so the
idea of it holds your attention. Now,
when any idea captures the focus OF
consciousness, it has a tendency to
express itself in action unless hindered
by some other idea or prejudice or
sentiment.
We initiate more readily IL the per-
son initiated has prestige. We grasp
as by intuition the assumption that
| IL this person, whom we regard as
| having good taste and sound judg-
ment, Is doing the thing. 1t must be

Habits That Mar Beauty.

There comes a time to every girl
when she realizes that if she wants
to retain her good looks she must
revise some of her thoughtlessly ac-
quired habits of living. The human
machine can stand considerable abuse
in youth but the fact that the i'll
effects of unhygienic habits are not
perceived at once should not be allow
ed to blind one to the Importance Of
correct habits. Late hours, and un-
wise choice of foods, insufficient eX-
ercise and fresh air. too lavish use
of cosmetics, incorrect posture, all
these things register themselves auto
matically on milady's face and figure
day after day until their cumulative
effect can no longer be overlooked.
Then is the time to take stock of
ones physical and mental self. Youth
fulness is lost by degrees scarcely per-
ceptible to oneself though quite evil
dent to others. One of the first signs
is an avoidance of exercise; one forms
the lazy habit of riding short dis
tances instead of walking and of
choosing Sedentary amusementS in
place of athletic ones. This habit
together with the common practice of
overeating. gradually spoils the beauty
of milady's figure.
Wrong habits of eating lead to in
digestion and blotchy compilations.
After the growing period is over the
body requires less food than it did be-
fore and If the diet is not scaled down
a little then, excess fat will accumu-
late.
The fine lines at the corners of the
eyes are usually the first facial
wrinkles to make their appearance.
When they arrive in the teens or
twenties they are premature and have
been caused by the neglect of some
health rule. 1t may be lack of suf-
ficient sleep each night, eyes rain or
the nervous habit of screwing up the

when she heard a knocking, and when
she opened the door in came small
black thing with a long TAIL 1t de-
manded to know what she was crying
about. At first she wouldn't say, but
finally she told her troubles.
"I'll tell you what I'll do" said the
little black thing. "Ill come to your
window every morning and take the
flax and bring it spun at night"
whats your pay?" she asked.
It looked at her out of the corner
of it's eyes, and said: ''I1l give you
three guesses every night to guess
my name, and If you haven't guessed
it before the month Is up, you shall
be mine.''
She thought that would be easy

black thing twirled its tail.
Well, the thing came every morning
and got the flax and, sure enough. it
brought it back every night all spun.

away it flew.
And so it was every night. after the
flax was spun, and each three guesses
she failed every one. She spent all
day thinking up the best three names
to ask, but they were never the right
ones.
Then the last day came but one, and
she tried Nicodemus. Ananias and
Methuselah-andt they were all wrong.
1t looked at her with eyes like Goals of
fire, and said: woman, there's only
tomorrow night and then you'll be
mine" and away it flew.
She felt terrified. Then the king
came, and he took the five skeins, and
said that since tomorrow was the last
day he'd have supper with her to-
night. So they sat down and were
eating, when the king said. laughing:
THE funniest thing happened to me
today. Out hunting 1 came across an
old chalk-pit in the woods, and heard
a humming sound. There was the
queerest little black thing, sitting at
a spinning wheel: and spinning won
derfully fast, and singing: 'Nimmy,

horribly.

"Well, is it Zebedee?"
mo, it isn't"' screamed the thing.
"One more guess!' and it shrieked
and tWirled it's tail in a way that
was never seen before.
The girl hesitated mischievously.
She wanted to get as much fun out
OF it as possible, now that her fear
was gone.
Take time, woman" said the thing
The next guess-and you're miner
Then she backed away a little and
looked at it. Then she laughed. and,
pointing her finger at it, said: MIN.

Well, when the black thing heard
her, it screamed something awful and
away it flew into the dark and she
never saw it any more.

Only a true complexion
soap is safe for your face
By WILMA BANKY

rs 1T logical to expect soap that
l. would be good for laundering or
household work to be safe for your
delicate skin? No, say experts -
when beauty is at stake, take care!
Soap and water is the beauty rule
of the day. A simple rule, based on
natures needs. But the soap you
use must be a complexion soap, a
soap that is kind to the skin, that
embodies the cosmetic oils it needs.
Any other would be too harsh.
Thus, largely on expert advice,
millions use Palmolive Soap; touch
their faces with no other. 1t is made
for one purpose only to protect

A trip to the counter where fur
trimming is sold in the department
store ought to be an inspiration to any
woman who makes her own clothes.
Some of the furs are surprisingly ex-
pensive, so expensive that to pay the
price demanded would prevent any
sort of economy in making clothes at
home. But there are various sorts of
dyed rabbit and goat furs that can
be had at reasonable prices. 1t is not
difficult to apply them yourself though
if YOU hesitate at this task you can
have this finishing work done for you
at some reliable little fur shop at a
lea sonable cost.
Some of the new Winter frock and
coat ensembles consist of a frock with
fur trimming on the collar and cuffs
and n coat cut so that the fur on the
frock extends below the coat sleeves
and above the top of the coat when

in this arrangement. since in milder
weather the fur-trimmed frock makes
an excellent street costume and the
attractive bit of fur is not laid aside
with the coat.
