FIRST THINGS FIRST"
Marion BrownfeJd

Who hasn't noticed the advertisement
of a mother with a child Struggled in her
arms, while she reads to it?. It's an
example, the advertisement suggests, Of
putting first things first"
And who among US, amid the complex
ty of modern living, can be sure that she
does it? 1t may seem impossible to stop
and give little Fay the explanation for
which she asks if we are to get the
freshly ~laundered curtains up before
night. We'd like to-" we say. but
we're busy" or too tired" so she must
run away and play a while longer"
If this is our habitual mental attitude,
then are we not putting things like
draperies ahead of such important trea-
surers as a little child's confidence, atfec-
ton, and even character ?
Some %neighbors discussing a little
f~ive-year-old remarked, Yes, she needs
care-sweet little thing but her moth
er is always so tvery busy, how can she
give it to her?'
What does her mother have to dog"
inquired newcomer. "I've seen Mary
Betty playing around the neighborhood,
and she always looks we'll cared for and
very nicely dressed"

clothes!" said one n~eighbor.

ed and Numbered" explained another.

every day." continued the first. land
marceIs her own between visits to the
hair-dresser's Isn't she always dainty
in her appearance?"
''Um," said the new conner, I've no.
ticed she changes her costume several
times a day"
Yes, chorused the admirers of
Mary Betty's mother, and she makes a
lot of them herself. And then she is so
dainty about the table. You know she
embroiders all her luncheon sets, and she
changes them every time there is the
tiniest spot !"
Quite fastidious, isn't she?" W
ed the newcomer.
well, she's bringing Mary Betty up
to love beautiful things even if she
doesn't have much time to spend with
her. She works so hard!''
"Um." replied the newcomer thought
fully, remembering the ready little fibs
she'd heard Mary Betty tell that day.
1t is a question of relative values. isn't
it?-care and o-rnamentation of the out
side or of the inside-which shall come

The Washington times., 1927-06-09

Farrell undoubtedly Is what is
called "hot' right now. thanks to
his sensational victory, over a great
field in the Metropolitan open. He
has the golf, the temperament, the
nerve control and almost every
thing except the titles. I'll admit
that the latter are bit overdue.
But 1t seems silly to attempt
even to bunch a man like Jones
out of a championship. Ali he has
to do Is to play to the speed he
has been capable Of in other medal
tournaments Of the last two or
three years and most Of the entries
viii fold up like an empty pouch.
One excellent bit Is that Bobby
won't be more than three
strokes behind the winner and
another is that the latter must
average % strokes for the four
rounds.
Farrell can do it. But viii he?
He has lacked the necessary physi-
cal and nervous stamina in other
years but his health is improved
now because Artie McGovern, the
man who reclaimed George Ruth,
alias Herman, from the depths of
his own stomach, has worked on
and with the golfer during recent
months.
The bunch on Farrell in particu-
lar and an outsider in general is a
reasonably good one, IL only for the
fact that, in a competition in
which any one Of thirty or forty
men might win. all lunches are
good until after the tournament.
In this case, it is sounder than
usual in view Of Hagen's pre-
championship play; the recent i'll.
ness OF Mac Smith, the unimpres.
sive scoring Of the British in the

that Bobby Cruickshank seems to
