Nix on Pedestals! j.!

OUR OWN FOLLY AND UN-
FAIRNESS.
We are very proud Of our
selves because we put people on
pedestalS and indulge in roman
tic ideals, but there is really
little beauty or sense in such an
attitude. We don't erect pedeS-
tails because we're wise and
noble-we erect them because
we're lazy and cowardly. 1t
isn't hard to invent romantic
ideals. 1t is a most pleasant
form of fantasy in which all
adolescents indulge and through
which they find escape from
unpleasant reality. It is very
hard and painful to face reality
and accept life as it is and peo-
pie as they are.
So, to escape such difficulty
we make pedeStalS-AND PUT
OUR BEST BELOVEDS IN
THE DOGHOUSE IF THEY
WON'T STAY ON EN-.
We have no more right to
park people on pedeStalS than
we have to cram them into
Straitjackets. And they do not
wrong us, nor prove their own
unworthiness, if they refuse to
stay parked or crammed. People
have a right to be themselves.
That is their supreme right and
their first duty. And we have
no right to interfere with sucn
expression in order to crafty
our own Sentimentality or boSsi-
ness. 1T IS BETTER TO BE
A FIFTH RATE, HONEST EX-
PRESTON OF YOUR OWN
SELF THAN A FIRST RATE

All our lives we've cherished
that picture, priding ourselves
on its perfection. Then along
comes a new friend, or a new

Then gradually we realize that

So we feel ourselves cheated

This Is Your ''Weak Moment
TNaIS is the dangerous season,

brakes or step on the gas. Her

Something inside her breaks
loose, sets her pulse and her

is full Of, "weak moments!"
In the spring a woman does
more foolish things than in all

It is so easy for her to mis-

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS

MANY things were changed
NA by the war. it is true, but
there are some things which
cannot be changed, even by an
event, an experience. as cata-
clysmic as a world war. One Of
them is human nature, and we
who like to travel over the
world watching nature in its
various aspects, should thank
the benign Providence which
has ordained that human ma
ture remain the same through
out generation after generation.
The HungarianS suffered dur
ing the war. They found them
selves, at the arIniStice, facing
new conditions and new emer-
gencies. Their territory had
been whitfield away. there were
new neighbors, new interna-
tional complications. There
was an almost new life to which
they had to adjust themselves.

The club in all grips is always
held in the fingers and not in
the palms. The left hand should
always have the finger tips hid
den as in the above pictures,
and the right hand should always
show the finger nail joints. Never
hold tightly-only beginners do
