WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


Antiques that we prize are rare.
Many people have come to desire them.
The ownership confers kind of dis
tinction upon the owner. 1t isn't
every one who can have one of the five
existing editions of certain book or
one of the few examples of certain
type of furniture.
Exclusiveness is at the bottom Of a
great many things we prize. This is
true not only of rare furniture and
antiques in general but also OF the
social club, the higher academic de-
grees. titles. etc. What would these
things be worth if any one could pro-
cure them? A piece Of glass may be
fully as brilliant as a diamond, at
least to the amateur in such matters.
Yet we pay fabulous sums for a dia-
mond because it is rare and costly.
There are not enough large perfect
diamonds to go around and 1t Is not
every one who can afford to pay the
price.
We honor the champion in golf, in
base ball, in tennis, in anything from
oratory to continuous dancing. II you
are State champion you are superior
to the county champion because Cnere
are fewer of your kind in existence, but
you are not as important as the ma
tional champion, who is less important
than the world champion. When a
person becomes a world champion he is
a celebrity. He is so exclusive as to
be in a class by himself.
The manufacturers Of modern furni-
ture and costly automobiles take ad-
vantage of the psychic element that
makes an antique valuable. Only a
small number of certain expensive
furniture designs are produced. After
making, say, 500 sets of dining room
suites, the pattern is destroyed or dis
carded. The buyer may feel assured
that not many if any of his associates
will have set exactly like his. In
automobiles this method is not so
practical so far as the entire car is
concerned, but it is approXimated by
changing the color and appointments
to give an exclusive appearance. !"
Moreover, there is tendency to
copy the expensive and exclusive
articles by cheap limitations. And of
course as soon as these cheap imita-
tions appear, the rich discard their old
for newer designs to keep we'll up in
the exclusive class.
We prize antiques as we prize any,

mantle of dignity He was born in
England. A few years ago he ran for
Parliament. His opponent charged that
he had never fought in anybody's war,
while he (the opponent) was once
soldier in His Majesty'S army.
Sir Charles appeared few Gays
later on the stump, and ut dramatic
moment raised aloft an honorable dis
charge from the United States Army.
He had fought in the Spanish-American
War. Coming to America as child he
sold papers. Upon his return to Eng
land he plunged into commercial life,
and today Sir Charles is the executive
head of the largest institution of its
kind in the United Kingdom and
member of Parliament. People do not
slap him on the back any more, though.
He would like to have them do it, but
wouldn't it look like the mischief?
Even an ordinary piece CT meat has
been knighted. 1t is said that one of
the English kings was so pleased with
loin roast that he drew his sword and
said, "I dub you Sir Loin." You can
buy sirloin at any butcher shop.
A high-sounding medical term is
worth more than an ordinary one. A
patient discharged one doctor because
he was told that he (the patient) had
a sore throat. Another physician was
called and diagnosed the trouble as
"syanche tonsilaris" The second prac-
titioner was retained. A movie theater
is called "the cathedral If motion pic

ing titles, imposing names and imposing

Rusty tried to get away by jumping

it did sting! Fright and pain made
him feel as miserable as ever Squirrel
did feel.
Once he thought he had found a
place of safety. 1t was an old crows
nest Rusty curled up in the nest and
was out of sight But it didn't take
the boys long to guess where he'd gone.
One of them started to climb the tree.
Rusty waited until he was almost to
the nest. Then he jumped out and
once more ran for his life. The mo-
ment he was out of that nest, the other
boy began shooting.
1t was great fun for the boys, but it
was very dreadful for Rusty. 1t al

are hunted. The worst of it was, Rusty

She Who Hesitates.
BY MIMI.

If he who hesitates is lost, she who
hesitates is often saved. The business
of hesitation is one which plays great
part in woman's acting. and if men are
going to understand the opposite sex,
they must be prepared for reluctance
and slow motion generally.
It's all right for man to deal straight
out from the shoulder. but that sort of
| thing wouldn't be graceful with a
woman whose shoulders are more for
ornament than use. Then, too, man
can settle down to brass tacks. but no
woman can regard such frankness as
anything but crudeness. She prefers
to hesitate in delicious dilly-dallying
sort of way. She can't help 1t, and
doesn't wish to. either.
| Women are the angels who fear to
| tread where men rush in. Their hesi-
tation is something Unborn and natural4
A woman is always cautious, no matter
how curious she may be, and then she
always feels certain amount of fear.
| Men are your pioneers and go-get-
! ters. When it comes to breaking up
new ground End telling old trees, they
can put it all over women. But If they
want comfort and neatness after the
raw work has been done, they have to
| Cdil III GllS WUIIldIl W pun IIIC al IloClO
touch and coZy feeling to things.
| No matter how determined a woman
may be. she keeps her strength con-
cealed, just as her muscles are encased
in certain amount of fatty tissue. If
she means mo" she will say perhaps" :"
and when she says perhaps" she means
yes"
The hesitancy of woman is an indi-
cation of her precdousness. She doesn't
keep her dates right on the minute, for
she thinks she's worth waiting for.
You don't hear her saying, "You bet"
to marriage proposal even after she's
been working for months to make her
man talk business. She thinks it's nicer
and more becoming to appear surprised,
to swear that it's all too sudden and
then demand time to think it over.
The glory of womanhood is not a
dayspring, but slow dawning with
q pinkiSh light making its way gradu-
ally through mass of mist. A man
hates all that sort of thing. He likes
| to have matters settled. Yet if woman
were to do as he thinks he wants her
to do, he wouldn't have any use for her
Her charm lies in her ability to be
gracefully reluctant.
Woman was born to hesitate-and
she'll dance the hesitation no matter
how many new steps may be invented.

cuiries directed to this paper provided .

The Odd Child.

Every teacher knows the odd child
the boy or girl who sits in the class
room going through motions and get
ting nothing done.
The teacher sends note home:
Your child is making no progress in
school Unless there is big improve
ment this month, he or she will have
to be put back"
Mother hurrieS to school.
What is the matter?"
well. / don't really know. The child
| is obedient enough. but dreamy. give
the class a direction and he is the last
one to take it. / ask him question
and he doesn't know I've called on him.
I dictate five words and find he has
written down two, and both of them
wrong. He doesn't pay attention. He
could do the work If he tries. But he
doesn't try. Please go over his lessons
with him at home"
But we do. Every night We struggle
with him. I don't know what is the
matter. He is bright enough other
ways, but lessons never appeal to him"
Then adjust the day to meet the
thing he can do. There are some les
sons he can get. Find which hour of
the school day is his best. Find what
lessons he does best. Shift his pro-
gram about until you find the way he
can manage best with it. Some children
can do arithmetic will after 10 o'clock
and cannot do it at all before that
time. Some can read well first thing
after reaching school and cannot read
well at all after having had arithmetic
lesson. Study the habits of this odd
child. Study his temperament. Then
adjust the program to him.
The teacher of the large class in the
grade school cannot do this. She must
work with the mass of usual children.
She has all she can do to carry them
through the terms work. There must
be some arrangement made for these
special children. A teacher at large
can earn her salary every year by help
ing children maintain themselves in
the grades. Her class is fluctuating
one, her program is what 1t needs to be
from hour to hour She should be a
highly qualified teacher and well paid.
She can handle the odd children if you
give her the equipment and the oppor-
tunity.
Sometimes the teacher ccl arrange
to carry the odd child along with the
class by giving him short, sharp les
son by himself, cutting down his school
room time and sending him home to do
VIC: in the open air or to some other
school or institution where he does
some work that is helpful-the 'Y'
gvm, the pool, he special physical cul-
ture class, the dancing class. the gar
den or the shop that some home or
neighbor offers.
Ccnlctimcs mothers can club together
ard each take an afternoon to teach
her speciality to such odd childrrn as
need differentiated programs. There
are many ways to help the odd child

THE NEW OPPORTUNITY

It is one of the characteristics oi
successful business person, that he
is able to see when situation has
changed, and act promptly on the
new conditions that have developed
If people can not. thus alter their
perspective, they never get very far.
The progressive person sees condi-
tions continually altering, and ne al
ters his policy and takes advantage
of new opportunities before they are
stale, and before everyone else
rushes in and crowds the field.
We have had for several years now
such an opportunity in the business
world. The wealth of the country
has largely increased, due to various
causes with which we are familiar,
among which improved machinery
and production methods are the
chief cause. Peoples wages have
gone up and they are able to spend
more money.
This has constituted vast oppor-
tunity for the sale CT products PIE
viously not accessible to the masses.
It has sold millions more automo-
biles than people thought could pos
sibly be sold few years ago. 1t has
placed all kinds Of comforts and lux
uries and labor saving appliances in
the homes.
The successful business person
sees this increased prosperity, and
he hastens to take advantage of it.
He sees that all these articles have
been pushed principally by adveltis-
ing. So whether he is selling some
speciality, or handling ordinary lines
of goods in a store, he reaches out
through advertising to get his share
of the new wealth.
And when he does that, if he gives
good service, he gets it. The coun-
try is full of big and little fortunes
made by those who were quick and
enough to take advan-
tage of this situation.

SUGGESTS HOT WEATHER
BATH AS COMFORT AIDS

This is the month that the wealth
er promises most discomfort to both
stout and slender women, and to as
sist them in attaining as much COM
fort as possible the Woman's Home
Companion has listed certain hot
weather aids.
Hot weather hats, shoes, face To-
tions-even hot weather baths-are
suggested by Hazel Rawson Cades in
her article entitled "The Higher 1t
Goes the Hotter You Feel"
eff the water you have is too
hard" says Miss Cades, soften it by
using prepared water softeners, bath
salts, oatmeal or bran. I find ordi-
nary sea salt delightful"
Shoes should be large enough to
permit the feet to expand in hot
weather, the writer suggests, point
ing out that patent leather, suede or
any other heating nOn-porous ma
terial is inadvisable.
The hot weather hat, she adds, ir-
respective of fashion, should be of
light weight porous material, such as
some of the loose woven straws
now being seen.
Among things to be avoided, Miss
Cades continues, are chains and
beads.
