esy. If we are kind and for
bearing, people want to treat
us the same way. Contrariwises
if we lack this sterling trait,
we are apt to bring the worst
out of people instead of the
best.
A prominent educator made
the statement recently that the
world stands less in need OF
learned men and women than
it does of gentlemen and ladies.
What he had in mind was
courtesy-a true appreciation Of
the rights of others, as we'll as
of our own duty toward them.
Have you ever observed how
a courtesy that is extended to
YOU puts you at once in a
happy mood? Especially is this
true when it comes from an
unexpected source. You regis

against overcrowding in the
street cars. But the company
official greets you with cour-
tesy; and whether you are
right or wrong, whether you
have gained your point or not
you go away feeling satisfied
Emerson has said: Life is
not so short but that there Is
always time enough for cour'
tesy." Yes, and it smooths the
path of life that often Is SO
thorny and difficult.
After all. we must try as
much as possible to harmonic
with the people we meet, and
with those with whom we must
needs be in daily relationship.
We may not always like them;
their manner and idiosyncra'
sizes of character may often
annoy us. Being courteous to
them, however, quiets them
down as we'll as ourselves, and
at the end of the day we don't

The Washington times., 1933-05-17

Practice courtesy, for it pays
big dividends. Indeed, it is a
personality asset that not only
brings success; it places you also
in the class of the elite where
culture and refinement reign.
A few are courteous by nature,
most people must develop the
habit. When once it is acquired,
however, courtesy becomes Sec
ond nature.
There are different kinds Of
courtesy. That which is forced,
only trumped up for the occasion,
is the spurious kind. 1t is readi-
ly recognized because it is stilted
and artificial. 1t is a kind OF
counterfeit politeness which de-
ceiveS no one.
The courtesy which charms,
on the other hand, bears all the
earmarks of genuinenesS. 1t is
natural, unaffected, spontaneous.
1t seems to belong to the per-
son who displays it as much as
does his complexion or the color
Of his hair.
Such a person is courteous
under all circumstances and
with everybody. He makes no
distinction as to race, social po-
sition, or whether the individual
he has dealings with is ditch
digger or a college president.
In short, the truly courteous
person simply cannot help be-
ing courteous.
The advantages Of courtesy
are practically without limit.
An adversary is at once dis
armed when met with politeness
and consideration. 1t wins in
business dealings. 1t makes
others want to please the one
who is courteous.
Courtesy also engenders court

The Beauty

Every woman who IS chasing
the beauty rainbow-and plenty
of them find the pot of gold
needs two different creams for
the well-being of her complex
ion, a light cold cream to use
as a cleanser and to allay sur
face irritations like ohapped
skin or sunburn, and a heavy
emollient to apply at night in
defense of youthful appearance.
A thin cream offers no resist

it comes to ironing out facial

to tell whether Mulrooney was

"No, you'd both get together

"I'd rather wind everything up

The eyes of the detective be

Mulrooney sighed. "All right,

"Not a thing in the world"
"I've been IN this detective
business so long that it becomes
natural for me to know when
a man is lying" Mulrooney
stated in relaxed voice. "You
don't fool me, Cavanaugh. You
are a gambler and you've been

There was no quick and easy
answer to the detectives homely
wisdom. A new thought flashed
upon Cavanaugh.

There were no tears in Janets eyes now. Tragic eyes they were, looking out of such a young face The tears had come and were gone. Janet, staring straight ahead, told herself that she should hate Rolf but she could not do that. She could only wonder how she was to live through the days to come. It was all over now. of course. Everything! She knew definitely that Rolf no longer car- ed. What feeling he might have had for her--and he had cared once-was gone.

 "Its almost spring." the letter ran, and I'm thinking of hats and frocks and places to go--a new wardrobe all the way from shiny shoes to shiny hat. but while my spirit Is willing. my budget is weak.

"The other night when told you l didn't ever want to zee you again I didn't mean 1t. was sorry afterwards. l didn't mean the other things I said then but ] mean them now! It's funny to think I've known you all this time and yet never really understood you. I-I didn't know you were just q fortune hunter"
 Whirling, half-blinded by tears. she turned and almost ran down the street. At the intersection she hailed a taxi, gave the address and sank back gratefully into the sheltering darkness of the cab. The sobs would stay back no longer and Janet let them come.
 Hours later, sitting in her own room, Janet heard knock at the door. She did not answer. It might have been Josie or Mrs Snyder or someone else to say there was q nessage or A telephone call. Janet sat quite still. curIed up in the one big comfortable chair, until who- ever had knocked went away.
 She looked small, almost child ish, with the pink bathrobe wrap ped about her. her hair pushed back in careless array. The light from the table lamp across the room was subdued. Japet sat In the shadows and tried to tell herself as she had for the past hour that she should be glad things had happened as they had. Even though 1t hurt so much 1t was better to know that Rolf was undcpendablc and fickle. She would have had to find 1t out some time. He had for gotten all the promises he had made or else had never meant them. Since Rolf was like that 1t was better to know. Oh, yes. much better!

 if your child were is big as you are. would you whip him, or shake him, or order him about like c little slave?
 Perhaps 90, if you were very brave, and were willing at times to have the tables turned on you. when dealing with our children. 1t
 might be . very good thing, in- deed.
 Why is 1t that boys and girls who have attained their physical growth are usually exempted from such treatment? Surely 1t isn't
 from any fear of hurting their dig nity or humiliating them, because
 little children are more easily hu- initiated as a rule than their older kin. I think 1t is because we shrink from imposing physical violence upon A grown body. Some way 1t seems more of dissertation to at- tack Gods image full grown than when ft fs developing. This and perhaps feeling that size is not to be trifed with.
 Early Spanklngs Are Easy And yet 1t Is no argument. Be- cause the older children become,
 with their clearer consciousness of right and wrong, less tendency to impulse, and c greater power to exert will, the fafrer is physical punishment. Tn the main believe there is
 more deserved" punishment among older children than among younger ones. yet the truth is not only the reverse, but thousand times 50. The punishment of small children is the commonest thing on earth. If we had dollar in the treasury for every quick slap or shake the children get in . day we would surpass all the riches of India.
 Rabid supporters of corporal punishment contend that children,
 being too young to reason with, know only one type of correction. Also they say that smarting skin

The mind is the acute NACttm VI ail pHybiChl puHiDHHtGhss Questions for Parents I dig up these questions for . purpose; will parents ask them. selves these things: If Johnny were older would 1 correct him In another way than by using the hairbrush?

 If he were older?"
 I am not a champion of the arr

 into a debate every time children outlaw themselves. Neither must
 we threaten, for threatening is ig-

 believe there are times when cor poral punishment is not bad thing. With some children, of course. 1t Is fatal. with others per-

 that believe 1t has its place under certain circumstances.
