Smile Gives
Power Amid
Difficulties
Look to Intelligence
and Ignore Causes
for Complaint.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

NEAR CHILDREN: When you md
~ yourself in difficulties call on
your intelligence for help. Don't begin
to cry. Don't complain. Above all,
don't blame anybody. Take a long
breath, gather your self-control, wait
until your mind comes under your will
and then get at the job.
There is a familiar story that illus
trates just what mean. A little boy
whose legs were not very long was
out for a walk with his father. BY
and by father forgot he was walking
with q little boy and strobe along like
giant. The little boy struggled to
keep up and soon his father noticed
that he was In distress. He shortened
his stride and slowed his pace and
said apologetically: WAS I walking
too fast, son?"
mo. daddy, but I was" the boy
replied.
That was tactful, cheerful express
sion. A child who can keep control
of himself and speak with that merry
understanding of his troubles will be
able to climb up and over or around
any dificult place. If you have not
that happy gift just begin to cultivate
1t. You can train yourself to it If
you make up your mind to try.
Sometimes a lesson Is too long or
too difhcult for you. What are you
going to do? Cry? Get into a state
of peevishness and slam things, and
sputter and complain about the teach
er and the work and your hard luck
in general? What good will that be?
You give yourself q bad time and you
start people thinking that you are
pretty much of weakling. They are
likely to shrug their shoulders and say:
You baby! Whining about lesson.
Not much Of q sport" People have
little respect for a steady complainer.
You must expect to meet with diff
culties. It will rain on a holiday.
The new suit will not fit. You will get
the wrong questions on examination
day. You will be asked to do things
you cannot do. You will get splinter
under your nail or a mote in your eye
on the morning of the big game. Well.
how are you going to behave under
the circumstances? Like baby or
like young person of trained in
telligence?
The way people face trouble Is a
sure indication Of their power Those
who lie down under it, those who
wiring their hands and weep, those
who complain to high heaven that
they are not getting square deal are
counted out. They don't belong to the
thoroughbred class. They are the
weaklings who have to be carried
along by the power of others. Who
wants to be in that class?
Now the next time you get into q
tight place think about this. Keep
still. Don't speak. Wait and pray
for control. As soon as you have q
hold on yourself smile. A smile Is q
good start. Then think of the other
people and make your trouble rest as
lightly as possible on their shoulders.
Get to work to straighten things out
as soon as you can. When you learn
to do this you are well on the road
to maturity and power even If you
are only IL years old.
Very cordially yours,
ANGELO PATRI.

Oil Manicure
Application Advised
at End Instead of
at Beginning.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

ON manicures are becoming more
and more popular. During the
Summer the sun extracts every Bit
of natural oil, makes the cuticle as
well as the nail dry, easily cracked
and broken. During the Winter the
winds and exposure to the elements
have much the same effect. A very
fine salon in the Middle West reports
that more than half the manicures
are oil manicures.
It is comparatively easy to give
ones self a manicure at home on
occasion. but take it from one Of
the leading manicure salons in the
country, the usual routine is all
wrong. The application Of oils and
creams should come at the end of a
manicure and not at the beginning.
Rather revolutionary. isn't it? But,
unless the oil is applied at the end
the nail polish may not adhere or
wear well.
To hold the polish the nail must
be absolutely dry. free from soap or
any greasy substances. When oil Is
used during the manicure it is seldom
removed entirely, even though no trace
Of it remains evident to the eye or
touch So if you have come to grief
with your nail polish applications, if
the polish peels or shows wear within
a few hours or q day or two after
your manicure it may be that your
routine, or at least the oil part OF 1t,
is topsy turvy.
The particular manicure salon that
originated the oil at the end Of the
manicure routine finds the method
more effective because the oil then
has a chance to seep in under the
cuticle to nourish and lubricate the
new nail growth instead of being
largely wiped away with remover or
with soap and water. At the same
time it does not interfere with the
polish.
If you want to experiment to con-
vince yourself. why not do one hand
with the oil first and the other with
the oil afterward and watch the last
ing qualities of the nail polish on
both. For myself, I've become so ac-
customed to the oil manicures that
I would not be without them. Not
only does the cuticle remain smooth
for q longer period. but I find that
it is less and less necessary to have
them cut. Between manicures I make
it habit to push the cuticle back
with a towel each time the hands
are washed. It's one of those little
habits so easy to form and it does
serve well.

I have not followed the family
custom as closely as I should, per-

we duplicate grandmother's supper

Oysters are with us once again, and
personally I am always more than
glad to see them. They offer such
infinite variety in their methods OF
preparation, and may be added to the
daily meals in many tempting forms
thus they prove a real boon to the
housekeeper who is always on the
lookout for something new and
special for the family dinner.

THERE is no reason why husband

cannot be avoided by the use of a

peaceful and happy home Is not a
matter OF ones feelings. It's solely a
matter Of determination.
And as for husbands and wives who
lack congeniality that Is bound to be

Market Tips
BY LUCE EBERLY.

HATING reminiscently the other
day. a young man remarked, II
do wish my wife would go to market
/ am sure If she did that she could
plan the meals more easilyl What
to have for dinner would not al
ways be such perpetual problem.
i remember when I was a boy
used TO go to market with my
mother, and an especial treat it wasl
She would come away with the big
basket laden with good things, and
more orders to follow-three days
supplies all purchased at one time.
Tagging at her heels, as she pro-
gressed from stall to. stall, I could
hear her murmur, while she waited
to be served, Now. let's see, nice, nice
vegetable soup would be good for
Monday > Then, to the STALL
keeper. "A good soup bunch, please,
and an extra handful of peas-one
green and one red pepper, yes, thank
you, that is enough
HEN at the butcher stall she
would purchase a nice, large
soupbone, with lots of marrow in it,
and a little lean meat to give added
strength to the soup. And was it
swell when We had it for dinnerl
Here also. she would buy beef liver
to bake with fried onions, and some
knackwurst to go with sauerkraut for
Tuesdays big meal. Frequently pun
gent Philadelphia scrappIe was her
choice at just about this time of the
year.
WHEN We got to the fruit stand
she always left big order If
apples were coming in fine she would
order half a case and after
school I'd know if I went in the
pantry I'd be sure to get a nice red
checked juicy apple! Bananas are al
ways appealing to kids-and for some
reason they seemed to be bigger and
better at the market would roll
my eyes in delight when mother
said Two dozen. please She took
advantage of fruits that could be
turned into pots and jars of jam and

ate my wife has the recipe

and crisp from the market. Mashed
turnips. buttered carrots, string beans

me to eat the allotment that is needed

twice as much 4. . and if my tummy
