She could hardly believe that
he was not angry with her still.

A laugh can be the gayest,
cheeriest thing on earth. or 1t
can be a knife that wounds for
a whole lifetime. 1t all depends
upon WHEN you laugh.
There is slang phrase which l
feel indicates the difference in the
import of laugh, especially in
connection with children. 1t In
the question::
Are you laughing WITH me or
AT me-"
Laugh WITH a child all you
can. His whole life will be made
up largely of contacts with people
who think life Is deadly serious.
and to whom very few things are
funny. So we need to guide chill
dren into easy laughter, but
KIND laughter.
We are prone to laugh at chill
dren's ludicrous efforts to do things
which are automatic with us.
We need to hesitate a moment
and get the viewpoint OF little
child. In the first place. the
task he is attempting is impor.
tant to him out OF all proportion

individuals.

A woman might be exquisite for
instance, despite very imperfect
features. IL she gave out a general
impression of charm. And this eff
feet of charm is largely of the
spirit. In fact, it is quite safe to
saw that a beautiful spirit Is in
itself, beauty.
To be interesting and charming
you must be absorbed in the
world outside yourself, rather than
self.centered. A woman with en-
thusiasm FOR her fellow-beings and
love of life may find herself num-
bered among the beauties-the col
orful.. charming personalities-de-
spite dowdy clothes or an ILL
shaped nose.
Let us consider today a very
concrete feature of beauty: the
neck. Even this physical feature
cannot be considered apart from
the rest of the body-the general

The glands of the neck are
delicate and might be injured, by
mistaken massage, so I do not
advise massage of the throat and
neck except by an expert. But
this I do advise: good, thorough,
gentle scrub of the neck night
and morning, penetrating well into
the roots of the hair and back
of the ears with a clean Turkish
wash-cloth and warm soap suds.
Necks with grimy shadows are
far too often seen and are ex.
tremely noticeable.
Follow the scrub with a cold
rinse, then rub with a lump of ice
through a bit of clean, white linen.
If your neck needs fattening, fore.
go the ice rub and pat in, instead,

physical perfection is boring.
