BY HELEN ROWLAND

A DrlII1anC sense OF num0f In
a woman is just about as attractive
to the average man as a mustache,
The conceit of man was born
when the second cave-woman ap-
peared on earth and began pulling
the first cave-woman'S hair.
A woman always wants mans
approval of her new spring hat;
but a man values another mans
appreciation of his sartorial effects
above that of any woman. He
wants an authentic OK.
There are moments in every
mans life when the ability to see
the amusing side of a serious
thing will prevent him from max
ing a fool of himself.
The best way to carry your
liquor" at a party, says a philoso-
pher, is to leave it in the glass.
Women are no longer weaklingS
but many wife wishes that her
husband would regard her as a
"weakling'' when it comes to get
ting up in the dark to answer the
telephone.
A sense of humor (plus a couple
of stiff "bracers') has carried
many a faltering bridegroom safely
down "the last mile" Of his bache"
lorhood.
No care-free bachelor envies
king, remarks a cynic-becauSe
no king can ever be care-free
bachelor.
Life has become such a "popu-
larity contest" that the average
girl would rather be rushed by the
stag-line than elected to the Hall
of Fame.
Many a clever fortune.hunter
has begun by telling a girls for
tune-and ended by marrying it.

TNHE wisdom in Of the oldest of proverbs can be
found in a report from London on the coronation.
Many members Of the nobility will not be able to
afford coronets of gold and jewels costing about 81 $50
Instead they are putting in their orders with imita
ton jewel manufacturers who promise coronets of gilt
inset with false gems correctly modelled with best
quality caps gold bullion tassels and real ermine''
The price will be $50 for duke and $50 for duchess

are more receptive to disaster
in March than in any other
season.
March is certainly the pariah
among the months, and most
appropriately is he named after
the god of war, for no character
could more truly suggest bolster
GUS unrest. We take his follieS
far too seriously and condemn
him when we should only laugh
at him.
SAME WINDS
II our hats fly off when March
winds blow too suddenly upon
them, if we step on a frozen pud-
die only to find ourselves up to
our ankles in ice water, we must
realize that March Is making q
clumsy attempt to be amusing.

for he is a born practical joker
who likes to get rise out Of hats
and skirts.
If we swear instead Of laughing,
it is the fault of January and
February, who have frazzled our
nerves; breezy, happy.go-lucky
March is not really irritating us.
March has a sense Of humor as
well as a sense Of beauty.
The same wind that blows off
our hats sets the tree tops curtsy-
ing and balancing to corners,
dancing a minuet. It is March
who dips the willow wands in sun
set light and turns them into deli
cate gold. The little brook sings
a lullaby under its crystal fret
ting.
March brings assurance that
the back of winter is broken, even
if the stubborn monster is not
quite dead. We know that April
is coming up the hill, for March
is really the icy, wind-swept cor
ridor that leads to lovely spring.

ANOTHER NAIL

Representative j. Parnell
Thomas Of New Jersey has sharp
eyes and a subtle tongue. In the
Army Day parade there was fife
and drum corps in which marched
a couple of men dressed in Scot
fish kits and carrying bagpipes.
During the debate on the floor
over the resolution to continue the
investigation of un-American &C
tivities, Mr.. Thomas asked a mem
Der if he had seen the kits. He
was told no and he said they were
there all right and if the resolu-
ton went through the House
should really investigate them
too.
It meant a laugh for the House
and another nail in the coffin for
the resolution which was finally

Fuller's observation:
"Flattery sits in the parlOr when plain-dealing
is kicked out of doors"
Praise is not all poison. Like wine, used wisely,
it is stimulant to laggard wits. Cotton well de-
scribed the benefits Of praise:
Applause is the SPUR Of noble minds, but the
end and aim of WEAK ones" - ,.-.
And there is some truth in this cynical OBJ
sarvation Of John Ruskin:
THE greatest efforts of the race have always
been traceable to the love of praise-and its
greatest catastrophes to the love Of pleasure"
Praise is habit-forming drug when it becomes
pleasure that you cannot do without.
But there is no doubt that praise is a sweet

to take praise sparingly, we offer Lord Chester
