MILFORD. FRIDAY. FEB. "a, 1928

THE THING that is most lnnuen-
tial in inducing people to settle
down in their home environment,
is the appearance of hope and ac-
tivity. Young people hate commun1-
ties where there seems an appear
ance of stagnation. If there are
things doing, they feel they are get
ting somewhere, and they think that
their work and thought are leading
them to results. But if they see the
older people accepting conditions as
they are, and not trying to improve
things, then they become disguised
with the lack of activity and they
quit.
Clubs, organizations, activities,
movements for better business, are
wonderful in persuading young
folks to settle down near home.
They make a world of difference in
a town. When people get together
and decide that they want and are
going to have better business, or
better social or intellectual condi-
TOMS, then each one encourages |
his. neighbors and friends to think
that better things can be done.
So9
IN WORKING on any kind of a
proposition which involves infuen-
cling the public it takes a lot Of re-
petition to accomplish results. If
you announce a public entertain :
ment once, and then kept silent
about it, the chances are strong
that by the time the entertainment
is held, the public will have forgot
ten all about it. About all that
can be expected is that a certain
feeling of interest has been stirred
in the minds of the people, but
they have not yet been sufficiently {
so they will attend it. !
By the first announcement you I
build a foundation for your struct- :
ure of public interest, but the I
structure is not completed. The a
thing has to be followed up, until a
the subject is thoroughly impressed
On the public mind. n
1t is the same in advertising a a
business. If a business concern p
ries out advertising for a short q
ime, and then quits, it has built a ..
oundation of public interest, but it ii
las not built the structure that s;
leeds to go on that foundation. e.
The thing has to be kept up. 70
Many of the results are long de- m
erred. If a concern advertised pl
yell for few years, and then quit til
Or long time, it would obtain for

Money spent in advertising is in'

The Washington Times 15c Practical Pattern
Made of Substantial Craft Paper (Not Tissue)

A morning frock which is
also sufficiently smart to serve
for street wear or shopping is
featured in Pattern 1914.
Here, an attractively turned
collar, finished by a Windsor
tie, adds interest to the blouse,
while the skirt is stitched and
pleated on slanting lines. The
interesting skirt treatment de-
serves mention, as it is de-
signed to bring the side seams
around under each inverted
pleat.
Pattern 1914 would make up
equally we'll in washable crepe,
tub silk, pongee, rayon or sateen.
The cottons offer an equally
varied choice of linens, piques,
ginghams, either printed or
plain.

may carry out the color of the
frock or provide a gayly con-
trasting note.
May be obtained in sizes 16

in everything in life, there Is
valuable material and not so
valuable for you to choose, in the
line of reproduced music. Let
your child hear the best, and IL
possible tell him the names OF the
selections ne hears. In this first
stage of considering music you
are not thinking at all Of rearing
a creator of music, but a person
who will appreciate music, feel it,
and thereby will enter into the
moods of ecstasy and uplifted
inspiration which blessed the COM
poser when he worked.
Whether or not you feel that
your child has any tendencies
toward a musical career, 1t is
your obligation to give him this
foundation consisting of feeling
and love for music. The less in.
clined he seems to be toward
anything Of a musical nature, the

this desire for beautiful sounds

a dish which has been placed in a

cover with an inverted new

pot should rest in the water and
water should be changed from
time to time. Cared for in this

Most Beautiful Women
Of the Day

Few women realize how much
of grace and beauty depends on
intelligent care and erect carriage
OF the neck. Imagine the swan
which Milton describes, with arched
neck between her white wings
mantling proudly IL she huncned
her neck between her shoulders
or dropped it clumsily! Even that
humble fowl, the goose, gains poise
and dignity through holding its
long neck high and straight.
Take most particular care to
carry your neck straight until the
habit becomes second nature if
you would be counted among the
lovely and graceful of this world.
And see, also. your neck is in Il.
self beautiful, with firm muscles,
creamy coloring and satin skin
texture.
Various sports and exercises tend
to lift and strengthen neck mus
cIes. Swimming is among the
best. A daily swim this summer
will, assure you, help you attain
and retain graceful, slender lines
of neck and throat and firm skin
tissue.
