presses, because this SUBJECT IS
so fascinating. Personality we
must have. We cannot do with
out it. Indeed, it is worth even
more than knowledge, wealth,
social position or power.
No greater mistake can be
made, however, than to assume
that we are born with person
ality, and, if we are not lucky
enough to have inherited it,
that we must, therefore, do
without it for the rest of our
lives. No, we are not born with
personality. We develop it
within ourSelveSs. Everyone
can have personality if he
really wants to. An attractive
personality Is inherently lurk-
ing in the makeup of every
man and woman. 1t is up to
him, as the saying goes, to
bring it out and to make the
most Of it.
For the development of the
right kind of personality we
must, first of all, study our
selves. carefully and unflinch-
ingly." We must note our de-
ficiencies and handicaps and
bad habits. We must realize
why we have failed in the past,
and what our mistakes have
been. In short, we must at
once learn to profit by expert
ence.
This is not an easy task.
Everybody is inclined to make
excuses for himself. Where
self-analysis is concerned, the
pill is usually coated with sugar
in order to make it more
palatable. We are inclined to
to admit certain faults but in.
variably we tend to make ex-
cuses for their existence. If.
on the other hand, you can
really conduct a fearless, heart
to-heart talk with yourself, you
will at once establish a solid
foundation and beginning for
the creation of personality.
Be sure always to observe
your speech. your manner, your
bearing, your clothes-in other
words, your general appearance.
For it is by means Of these
that personality reveals itself
to others.

Thanksgiving
Night Salad

TO MAKE: Buy some Sc
lected, choice cranberries of
good size. Then cut each cram
berry in four slices at right
angles to the stem. Next, cut
some crisp stalks of celery into
quarter-inch pieces. For this
particular recipe there should
be a cup of cranberries to a
cup of celery. In other words
equal quantities of each. Then
mix four tablespoons of olive
oil, two tablespoons of vinegar,
l2-teaspoor of salt, A-teaspoon
of paprika and 12-teaspeon of
sugar. Mix the cranberries and
celery together we'll. Then pour
over the dressing and serve in

plate of crisp watercress and
lettuce leaves.

have been bending every effort
to make them smart as well as
practical, and their results
really win applause this year.
Initiating Leather
Not only are the new shu-
glovs" trim and we'll fitted
about the ankles, but they are
made of a new processed rub
ber that initiates shoe leather
so closely you can scarcely tell
the difference. They are en-
tirely nodded, with no stitch
ing about them, but seams are
cleverly suggested, to make
them look like shoes. The zip
per that closes them up the
front is so we'll concealed that
it looks like the seam of a
shoe. There's an alligator
grain, jl.5t like an alligator
shoe, a kid that looks like
leather, and trimmings of lizard
grain, or other feathers, used
just as trimming on a shoe.
Heels fit snugly, too, and you
can choose your type heel to
suit your shoes. And as final
inducement, the rubber smell
has been removed, and there
is the faintest bit of fragrance,
made right into the rubber.
They are net lined for cool
ness in this climate, though
you may get them wool lined
if you're going further north.
Just Like Pumps
At the top, of today's sketch,
are the "shugloVes" mentioned,

heels of a fancy grain. The
tops may turn up. for rainy
days, extending the protection,
and giving a perfectly smooth
line. The heels are Cuban, to
fit higher heels, and this shoe,
or the same style in alligator
grain, is priced $3.50. Then in
the center, following the vogue
for pumps, Is an opera pump
in kid grain, with imitation
lizard trimming. This is a slen-
der Cuban heel, too, to fit and
look smart. This type takes
the place of older and uglier
rubbers, and with all it's chic, is
only $3.50. Below is the heel
less emergency slip-on, which
comes neatly done up in its
rubber pouch, and may be car
ried in your handbag. 1t has

The high neckline continues
in favor, and suggestions come
from all sides as to how you
can put one on the dress you
already have. A nuns yoke
with little soft collar Is effec-

Dear Mrs. Fairfax:
In school became acquainted
with a girl I like. but I was
graduated soon and never got
to know her really well. There
is no way for me to get into
school activities, now that I
have been graduated. I under
stand that it's the girls place
to speak to a boy first. so un-
less she speaks to me I don't
dare even to say hello" She
really isn't the snubby kind, so
I can't understand why she
speaks sometimes, and again,
she doesn't notice me. for I
have various reasons to know
that she was interested in me
before 1 even noticed her.
PAUL.
For goodness sake, Paul, don't
stand shivering on the brink of
what might be very agreeable
friendship. You have been to
school together. and what could
be better introduction than
that? Next time you see this
girl. just take matters in your
own hand, stop and have
friendly chat. invite her to 80
to a movie, or, to have an ice
cream soda, O.: something like
that.
And don't lose sight of that
heartening proverb for the shy:
Faint heart never won fair

HOOVER SALBTED
ON ANNIVERSARY
President Receives congrat-
ulationS From Cabinet and
Personal Friends.

President Hoover today received
numerous reminders. mostly in the
form OF congratulations and well wishes
from personal friends, that today was
the 4th of March and the third an
nive-sary of his Inauguration as Presi-
dent. But to him, today was just an
other work day. He went about his
usual routine, and apparently saw no
occasion to plan any observation or
celebration of the event.
Mr.. Hoover was at his desk in his
Office, as usual, before $50 O'Clock. He
also lost no time in becoming absorbed
in business. He graciously acknowl-
edged the personal fluctuations from his
associates and those friends who called.
but that was all
Besides these personal congratulations,

some from political leaders in various
parts of the country, all friendly and
optimistic
Probably the most marked reminder
OF the anniversary day was the weather.
1t was just such a dismal, rainy day
three years ago that Mr.. Hoover was
inaugurated.
Among those who extended their con-
BIaCuIaLlonS To-Day were the members OF
the Presidents cabinet when they pre-
sented themselves to attnd the bi-weekly
cabinet meeting. Also in this group was
Vice President Curtis, who, too. re-
ceived a soaking three years ago as ne
rode behind the President in the in
augural procession. Mr.. Hoover took
occasion on this anniversary day to sign
the commission appointing Justice Ben
jamin Nathan Cardozo to the U. S.
Supreme Court, and 70 sign joint Con-
greSSional resolutions authorizing the
Secretary Of Agriculture to aid IN the
establishment of agricultural credit cor
porations by issuing credit certificates
to individuals and corporations, princi-
pally on live stock loans.
Mrs Hoover was not on hand. She
left Washington with a party OF friends
a fortnight ago for a cruise in Florida
waters. 1t is understood that the Presi-
dent received telegram from her, COM
menting upon the occasion.
