No One Could
Be Bothered

These "rhinestones in the
rough" as they have been
called. may have been actually
diamonds. But no one had time
to stop long enough to polish
them. 1t was so much easier
to hire the considerate, man
nerly specimen in the first place.
There is a third type of in
conSiderate individual, met more
often in fiction. and on the
stage, than in real life. He Is
the lovable genius, whose high
brow is so full of great thoughts
that he stumbles over all the
conventions. If his talents are
great enough, some woman will
be found to mother and marry
him and keep him from upset
ting chairs and dropping cups
OF hot tea, as he usually is
pictured on the stage. But
the inconsiderate genius is too
rare to become a type.
The more usual class OF IN
considerates neglect to consider
other peoples feelings at the ex'
pense of their own. They are
great folk for alibis. They have
on tap endless excuses for their
disregard of others. They are
90 fluent in acquitting them
selves of their behavior that one
is tempted to wonder whether
It wouldn't have been easier
to do the decent thing in the
first place.

There Might Be
Something Wrong

Now, don't misunderstood me
1 don't advise that you pay no
attention to your baby when 1t
cries, There might be some
thing really wrong with him. So
when he begins to cry, look him
over, see whether he is hot or
cold, whether he is wet or I'M
comfortable. It won't take you
long to find out when he Is CRY.
ing whether he has some real
grievance, or whether he wants
on to take him up in your arms.
Just remember, if you spoil him
this way, he will take every ad-
vantage of you. Each ne ne
Wakens, even in the middle OF
the night, he will demand this
attention.
Be sure to teach your child
regularly in his sleeping habits.
I have known many parents
who would keep the baby up
when he should be in bed, just
because there were visitors IN
the house and they wanted to
show hin off. Or perhaps the
father has been away all day,
has gotten home from work
late, and he wants to have a
play with the child. Remem-
Der, routineS should never be
interfered with.

Dismiss Them
With Word

Extensively inconsiderate peo-
pie can be dismissed with a
word. They are Public Nuisance
No. 1; the world drops them;
they are negligible.
The more usual class of in
considerates are that way be-
cause they're selfish. They neg
Iect to do the decent thing be-
cause they dislike to put them
selves out. Following the World
War Ito which we attribute most
Of our ills) there was a definite
movement on the part of GER
tain people in authority-mod'
ernistic school teachers-not to
teach children manners. AS if
the poor youngsters of the post
war generation hadn't enough
handicaps as it were.
Ruffianly behavior was con-
doned as developing personality
or some such foolIshness as
mot depriving them of the
power of choice" Naturally the
power of choice" led these
youngsters to behave as hood
lums and Savages. It was great
fun, as long as it lasted. But
it didn't last into Job getting.
No one wanted them after a few
weeks-they Just didn't fit.

ONE of the surest and
" quickest ways of losing
your sweetheart is to be
inconsiderate. AS a recipe,
it's absolutely reliable. 1t
is also warranted to lose the
affection of husbands, wives,
friends, relatives and more
often than not, jobs.
Who has time for the blund-
erer, who goes through life

Who is thoughtless, discourte-

MRS. SCOTT IN
CUP GOLF FINAL
BY LILLIAN RIXEY

Mrs. Arnold McNitt, diminu-
tive brunette from Congressional,
was scheduled to engage red
headed Mrs. Jack Scott. unat-
tached, in the finals today at
Manor Club for the Post Cup.
This year marks the last time the
tourney will be run as a match
play handicap event, for next
year, in order to speed up things,
the tournament will be held on
one day only.
Neither Mrs. McNitt, who is
handicapped at 18. nor Mrs. Scott,
handicapped at 7, were given a
chance early in the tourney to
last until the final round. But
yesterday, in two upset matches,
Mrs. McNitt defeated Mrs. Wal
per, who had to give her II
strokes, 4 and 3, and Mrs. Scott
eliminated the favorite. Mrs. Betty
Meckley, 2 and /, with a four
stroke advantage.
Mrs. Scott has a real battle be-
fore her today in her encounter
with Mrs. McNitt, to whom she
must give 10 strokes, for Mrs. Nc
Nitt'S performance in the tourna-
ment has been making her high
handicap look like something she
acquired at random.
To arrive at the finals, Mrs. Nc
Nit has shot the tricky wooded
nine in three different matches at
43, 43 and AZ. PSychologically, the
effect of these first nine scores on
hel low-handicap opponents has
been drastic, for each one has
realized that in the nine holes to
go, where most of the allowance
strokes come, she had less than a
prayer. For Mrs. McNitt the
wooded nine seems to be easier.
She rarely gets into trouble and
profits by the shorter yardage.
Mrs. Scott drives a ball down
the fairway as far as the best OF
the women golfers of the District
but is apt to be a little ragged ap
preaching the green's.
