Manners
of the

ITS VERY natural for gardeners, no
doubt, to want to show you their
gardens. And it's very natural, too,
that they should want to tell you
how the garden looked when there
were other flowers in bloom.
But as person without a garden,
am getting pretty tired Of being told
every single time look at a garden
that 1 really should have seen it last
week.
After all, can't 60 running around
looking at all my friends gardens
every week, just SO that I will hit the
right week. And even if I did. III
wager that they would start telling me
that it was nothing now, but next week
I'd see big difference.
would much prefer 1t if a gardener
would not suggest that look at the
garden if I happen to come along
during one of those weeks when every
thing is wilted and all the flowers are
dead. Couldn't he just leave the gar
den out on that visit? And couldn't he
just ask me to take a look at it when
he thought it looked nice himself?
I can't see why not Last week was
last week, but I'm here this week. Why
not show me what you have, instead
OF what you haven't? JEAN.

Active Mind
AGreat Aid
To Beauty
Ones Thoughts Are
Expressed at Once
In Face and Eyes.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

A HEALTHY, clear thinking, ener-
getic mind is not only the nucleus
OF beauty but is the nucleus of
radiant happy life!
Had I space to quote famous au-
thorities I could convince you that
destructive thoughts, or an undis-
ciplined mind can rob a woman of
her health and destroy her happiness.
AS you think, your face and eyes
express your thoughts. Catch a
glimpse Of yourself in a mirror as
you converse with q friend. Notice
how your eyes sparkle and your lips
turn upward when you speak gayly
See how quickly froWn appears and
your eyes dim when you talk of
sorrow or feel sad Your lips narrow
and your eyes partly closed when you
give vent TO anger or gossip malicious
ly. Would you have believed it?
Do you know that every unworthy
thought registers on your face?
Haven't you seen women whose coun-
tenances reveal their habitual thoughts
of malice, selflshness, jealousy? OF
course you have. Over indulgence of
miserable traits have robbed them of
their beauty and happiness.
Sick minds, registered on faces.
ward of all human sympathy and
love.
So don't be neurotic. Keep your
mind active, free. and in order.
1t is the receiving and sending
instrument of your entire body. Let
1t receive wholesome. pleasant mes
sages. Let 1t send wholesome, pleasant
dictations You know the old adage
that Beauty comes from within
we'll it does. from within your mind
II you have been in the habit of
brooding, Of becoming easily hurt ut
peoples thoughtless words or actions,
strive to overcome those tendencies.
Ignore hurts and disbursements.
Realize that brooding-or Worrying
is an insidious form of illness which
can destroy . lot you can hold dear.
Don't be a woman consumed with
self-pity. Don't be q girl consumed
with self-pity. Every person has a
tough time in life. Every person has
problems and hurdles to leap. No
life is without sorrow nor is any life
without joy Take life as it comes.
Keep yourself healthy and let your
mind create beauty!

Parents Can
Replace
Children Must Have
Companionships of
Others Their Age.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN do not grow up nor
mally, into well-rounded per-
sonalities, unless they have friends of
their own age, and their own choosing.
No grown-up person can take the
place of this playmate, and none
should try. Children live in a child's
world where everything is new and
strange and mysterious. Each days
happenings are great events, flrsts,
for the child experiencing them. Hopes
and fears spring out Of anticipation,
and these must be shared. not with a
sophisticated, wise adult, but with the
eager, expectant. imaginative child.
Much Of the exciting happenings OF
= childs life are an old tale to the
edult. He has forgotten all about the
thrill, the newness, the eager anticipa-
tion he felt in his childhood and youth.
He forgets that there was q time when
a new wheel. prize contest, new
girl on the block were world shaking
events in his life. To call such things
trif1es and silly notions and sheer
waste, is to announce oneself as hope
lessly adult hopelessly beyond the
stage Of chummineSs with childhood
or youth.
Pretending is no good. Soon the
yawn breaks through; the eye wan
ders; the mind slips off to graver con-
Germs, and the stodginess of the adult
is betrayed in all its drabness. The
polite, or the dominated child strives
to conceal his discovery and the weari-
ness Of spirit it brings him. But the
trial Is failure. 1t must be. Age
cannot play with childhood and youth.
Why try?
1t is the privilege Of age to under
stand and to guide children. To do
that one grows up, leaving childhood
and childish things behind Children
need the support Of maturity, its out
look, its seasoned strength. They ex-
pect certain reserves in grown people
and are uncomfortable when they are
missing in the adults manner and be-
havior. Sons and daughters hate to
see their parents trying to be young.
They sense something out Of nature
and try to get away from it as quickly
as possible. BE your age" has mean
ing below its lightness and fathers
and mothers do we'll to heed it.
Sometimes this attempt to chum
with children is an effort to hold on
to the child a little longer. 1t always
fails in the end The child escapes
II it is clever enough, or strong enough.
Occasionally one yields to the pos
Sessive person and is lost, but that is
seldom. Most young people are en-
dowed with enough Self-interest to
evade the clutching spirit, but in any
case, it is unwise to subject the child
to such struggle
Whenever parent says, proudly,
1--WE are inseparable," I am heart
sorry for the child. the prisoner of
another's selflove. MY daughter
wouldn't 60 to camp. She has never
been away from me single hour since
she was born" MY son is my lover.
(He was 10) We are everything to
each other" A father says, I'm my
boys best playmate. I play with them
whenever get the chance so as to
make it unnecessary for them to 20
with those roughnecks" Imagine a
big healthy father saying that! But
one did, and wondered why his boys
lacked play spirit

Let Husband Think He Is Boss
If You Want a Happy Home.

They would be bored to death if they
actually had to decide whether Mary
should join the Current Events Club
be papered in pink or blue. And moth
ing could induce them to risk their
lives in department stores and
specially shops picking out Sally's
and Janey's clothes But, all the
same, they want Mary and Sally
and Janey to ask their permission
to buy new dress and what sort of
wallpaper to put in a room. After
the wife has made the gesture of
recognizing her husband as her lord
and master she can do as she pleases
and all is well.
Men like their wives to treat them
as sort of beneficent providence, the
source from which all blessings flow
The real reason there is continual
conflict in most families over the
money question is not because hus-
bands are stingy, but because they
like to dole the money out piece by

WHEN man complains about
how extravagant his wife is and
how much her hat and dress cost, it
doesn't mean that he begrudges her
a single garment or the price thereof
On the contrary, it is merely his way
Of boasting to the world how pros
porous he is and how lucky she was
to get husband who could doll her
up. If you will observe you will note
that the best-dreSSed women among
your acquaintance are always those
who keep their glad rags hanging
out in public, so to speak, and who
are always calling attention. in hus-
of iewelry, or a pretty frock, or an
expensive coat that he has given them.
Nor is all of this SO silly as it sounds.
The average man gets virtually moth
ing out OF his labor after he has
supported his family but his board
and clothes, and it is pretty discour-
aging to him to spend his life toiling
for one that takes all that he can
give and makes no sign of appreciation
in return. Hence the wife who makes
a fuss over all that her husband does
for her is just giving him run for
his money. It is no wonder men
like it, and that they like to be jollied
and looked up to and generally treated
like human beings, even if they are
husbands. DOROTHY DIX,
