BY ELSIE PIERCE.

COME ONE said recently, about q
prominent Hollywood star: "She
Is beloved by every one. She is
gracious to all-big and small, alike
Her deeds Of kindness are legion, but
you would never hear about them from
her"
I regret that I. never got close
enough to the commentator to ask
why the but" That one little word
makes me wonder whether 1t meant
to denote praise or censure. So many
people do things for others and then
do so much talking about their deeds
that onlookers can't help wondering
whether they are motivated by the
very desire to boast.
True kindness Is rendered quietly,
unostentatiously. 1t may be mani
tested in q hundred different ways,
from financial aid involving staggering
figures, to Boy Scout daily deed Of
helping an old woman across the street.
I firmly believe that the little courte-
sizes We render every day are written
in the stars. What if the world doesn't
know? The self-respect. the deep
down contented feeling inside of us
IS payment enough.
Furthermore, with that grand and
glorious feeling" comes an emotional
reaction that affects the functioning
Of certain glands, of our circulatory
system. In q sense 1t Is q beauty
tonic. It makes the eyes shine, the
entire face and in fact the entire per-
son radiate happiness and cheer and
sunshine.
Beauty has been called "that bloom
on woman" Young women in love
have that "bloom"-that indefinable
something you cannot put your finger
on, but Invariably it invites the COM
pliment "how we'll you look" Acts of
kindness have much the same effect.
Find time for them and find time, too,
to be kind to yourself!

careful. I've told you a hundred
times. II I've told you once, not to
look around the room when YOU are

like a human being is beyond me.
Move your plate. Sit over there until
I get this mess wiped up. This makes
the third cloth in four days. If you

for having it done, you'd look what
you were doing. Never in all my

Bang! The slam shook the pictures
on the wall and ratified the dishes in
the cupboard. John Henry WAS stamp
ing OH to his room, outraged, choked,
ready to snort, rip and tear.
Now what's the use, Mary? The
boy didn't mean to spill his milk"
That's right. Take his part. You
know yourself that he never sits down
to meal without doing something of
the sore before he finishes. I've some-
thing else to do beside do up table,

Father went upstairs to the picture
Of misery. Mother finished clearing

HE won't. The table-covers are

There's q lot of truth in that. The

Dorothy Dix Says
Frequently Homes Are Broken
By o.Called "Good" Women.

Every one Of US know cases In which
wives 20 ill-treat their husbands that
1t Is q continual marvel to US that the
husbands stand it another day.
We know men whose wives take q
fiendish delight in torturing them. We
know men who dread to come home
at night because they know that when
they open the door they will be met
by . torrent Of abuse and naxning.
vituperations and quarreling. Jealousy
and suspicion. That 80 many men
endure this torture year after year Is
proof that heroes still survive among
US.
Certainly before We pass Judgment
on . divorce We should know what
the wife has done to drive her hus-
band away from her to some other
woman, who gave him tenderness and
understanding and unselfishness in
place OF the brutality that she had
inflicted on him.
nEAR MISS DIX: work In a large
office with many men, Among
them Is married man with whom
am very friendly. Once or twice Q
week he asks me to stop for a cock
tail with him after work, which US
ually results in our spending the en-.
tire evening together. He has a very
charming wife and he loves her, al
though am sure he more than likes
me. top. On those evenings he calls
his wife and offers an excuse for not
coming home the fact that he has to
take some customers out. Sometimes
I feel guilty about the time and money
he spends on me, as his salary isn't
large. Do you think that any harm
can come Of this friendship, and am
I doing wrong in letting him buy me
cocktails and take me out to night
clubs? I like being with him very
much. PUZZLED
Answer-There is a very simple way
for you to tell whether you are doing
wrong or not. Put yourself In the
wife's place. How would you like for
your husband to be taking a pretty
girl out for cocktails and spending
the evening with her, instead of COM
ing home for dinner?
How would you like for your hls.
band to lie to you about what he was
doing? How would you like to 90
without a new coat that you needed
and have to wear last seasons hat
because your husband was spending
the money on some girl instead Of
you? How would you like for Your
husband to be taking some girl out
to night club when he wouldn't even
take you to the movies? Ask yourself
these questions and you will have the
answer.
You know that in encouragin this
man to fall in love with you, you are
wrecking the foundations Of a home;
you are breaking up a marriage that
but for you might survive And that
will be a crime on your soul as long
as you live.
And when you let yourself fall In
love with him, you are simply hunt
ing for trouble. For you have either
to steal this man away from his wife
and break her heart. or break your
own heart by giving him up. There
is no happiness or satisfaction In any
Of them.
So nip this affair In the bud. Don't
60 out with him another time. Keep
your love for some single man who
can offer you honorable marriage that
you can go into without any regret
Of having taken your happiness at the
price OF sister woman's.

by too rapid an increase in wages
and too rapid a shortening of hours
in many key industries-thus un-
balancing purchasing power in rela-
ton to prices.
The second cause, superimposed
on the first, Sloan continued, sis the
fact that there has been developing
a growing lack of confidence and
fear as to the attitude of government
toward business, as well as to eco
