Glorying Yourself
 RH Alicia Harf
NEA Service Staff Writer
By Alicia Hart

1NEtA oCktlCC StdA YTltCE
 You've been tired for more than a month-in fact, even since the week you finally got down to business with Christmas shopping. You dread the very thought of doing anything about your social obligations. You wish you could take midwinter cruise or a vacation of some sort, but you know very well that you can't.
 What, then, is to be done?
 After all, the idea of going on this way - being tired and un- interested in everything and wanting to sleep all the time - doesn't promise to be much fun. You want to feel better and there fore look better.
 Takes Will Power
 We'll, as step number one in the right direction, how about putting yourself on a more or less Spar tan schedule for two months? Getting up early whether you want to or not and taking show CT before breakfast? Try hot shower, then a cold rinse. If a cold rinse makes you utterly mis- erable for an hour after instead of glowingly warm and energetic, take just lukewarm shower without the cold rinse.
 Figure out a way to get some exercise three days a week. If you cannot locate a place to play your favorite game or improve your technique in your favorite sport, then find a spot in your house where you can skip rope for ten minutes three times a week. Or go walking, trotting a block, then walking block, trotting another and so on. The important thing is to decide just how you are going to get exer- else and on which days, then to stick to your schedule i II spite of rain or snow or a headache or anything short of cyclone.
 Cultivate Hobby
 In addition set, aside two hours a week for your hobby or what ever you call the thing you're most interested in. Sunday a lan- guage or practice on the piano, or do needlepoint. It doesn't mat ter what you do just so long as you do something you like and do it for two hours every week.
 Sounds like too much trouble? Well, try this plan and see. what happens. The chances are 100 to

do when I really try; and then, after planning every dimension to hairs breadth, thought to him. self, oh, but this won't do, after all. It's too perfectly regular. There must be something to make it really lovable and cozy. I'll just stick restful nook in here where no one will expect it = place where people can relax and be really at home {. <. That's your funny little face, darling"
 Janet found the bench just in- side the entrance where she and Lance had so often sat together after one of their hikes along the woodland trails of the park. From the bench, through a screen of naples, oaks, elms, and tulip trees, you looked down slope toward the great bridge whose concrete arches spanned the ravine below. Although it was early September, the naples were tinged with crim- son and gold, and woodbine trailed scarlet creepers up the gray, vault ing arches of the bridge.
 Across the ravine, clinging to the hillside at the edge of the wood, was the house Lance was building for them, its white brick gleaming through a screen of foli- age.
 It was an adorable house. Janet had helped Lance plan it. The upstairs sitting room, with the glassed-in loggia looking out over the ravine, had been Lance's idea; the many -windowed dining room built almost in the tops of the tall trees which upthrust from the hill- side below, had been Janet's. The living room had a deep wood fire place that would take five-foot logs; and there was to be a broad curving stairway with a hand wrought iron railing which Lance had got from a dismantled man. sion in South Carolina.
 By the first of the year the house would be ready, unless = Janet's breath caught. Could that be what Lance had wanted to see her about? Had something gone wrong with the plans for the house? Perhaps MT. Benton had known about it, and had told Gym at lunch that day. For Cynthia knew something.
 A squirrel peered at Janet from behind the trunk of an oak, scurried down, and advanced cautiously, stopping from time to time to stand up and inspect her, his tiny paws ludicrously clasped across his middle, his mouth ob- viously watering. Finally, reas- sured, he scrambled up to her feet, his paws outstretched. He rooted there momentarily, and then looked up at her, chattering bitter re- breaches.
 Sorry. fella," Janet laughed. But I haven't any nuts for you. I'm not a tree"
 "No wonder he takes you for a tree. You look like part of an autumn wood - russett and brown and gold"
 Janet had been so absorbed in the squirrel that she had not noticed Lance's approach until he spoke.
 Now, in spite of the lightness of his words, she stood up hastily, startling the squirrel into a tree top, thinking, her eyes on Lance's face. Something is wrong. Some things terribly wrong with Lance.
 Aloud she said lightly, Lance, darling, I thought you were never

to. And you can't win anyway, be- cause she knows her technique bet ter than you do. The best thing is to be yourself as hard as you can, and at least amount to 8 contrast.
 Instinct, if you aren't the "I1l show HER a thing or two" type, will make you want to shrink in a corner. But no matter how good cover looks, you can't afford to run for it. Stay with her, and manage to look as unconcerned as you don't feel.
 Instinct will make you want to show him a thing or two, but if you don't watch it, you'll make yourself look pretty silly, tapping up the attention of man you ordinar- fly dodge.
 Instinct will make you want to show HER who this man belongs to, anyway, but this is not the time for such poSseSsive treatment.
 Instinct will make you accuse him of falling for her when the two of you are at last on the way home. But you'll lose by it even though you win the momentary comfort of hearing him say, "Oh, that big blonde? Don't be a little nitwit. She isn't half as pretty as you are"
 You can have him to yourself on the way home-if you don't let in- stinct drag her back into the pie ture. Better adopt the silent motto: "See no rival. Hear no rival. And speak no rivals name."

knowing what they want or how to go about getting it. Then, too, if they have set their hearts on one thing, and 1t fails to materialize, they lose all incentive to try an- other road. This is understand able in older people, but in youth it is a bad sign. Fixed ideas are the most admirable things in the world, but they can also be wea- pons for our undoing.
 If your son or daughter seems to be crushed by a disappoint- ment, the greatest favor you can do him or her, is to help them to try another road. It is our old friend substitution" again. Or maybe just a case of "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again."
 Now for the baking powder in our recipe, the ingredient that all the preachers for ages have been telling us. Service and unselfish- ness.
 Practice UnSelfiShneSS
 If this could be left out of life until the more sober years, no great harm would result, prob- ably. But the trouble is that, like any other habit, it has to be prac- ticed, like music lessons, until 1t becomes second nature. No one can be utterly unselfish. We know that. But the habit of helpfulness is like plant that will bear pre- cious blooms if watered and sun ned or die if neglected. Too often it is allowed to die.
 Young men and women in the first flush and confidence of life are likely to be too busy with their own affairs to help other people. They are pretty heart less sometimes, without meaning it. Careless, bit jealous, per- haps; their eyes turned in on their own affairs. They cannot learn to be kind and accommodating, or concerned with the troubles of others unless they are directed.

CHAPTER HI

Janet called, Hello! Hello, LanceH
 Lance's voice said, Listen, dar- ling, I've got to talk to you But not here," he added hastily. Not with the others around. Come as quickly as you can, will you?"
 At sound of something strained and insistent in his tone, Janet felt her own throat tighten so pain fully that she knew her effort to seem casual must have failed mis- erably.
 She saw Barney Meningitis keen blue eyes flick Cynthia's in- tent face, turn to the frozen mask that was her own, and back again. Then with 8 provocative word he drew the attention of the other two so that, for the moment, she stood virtually alone with Lance.
 Where, Lancer" she breathed quickly.
 How about the park? The usual bench, near the entrance from the boulevard"
 "Swell!" Janet cried as lightly as she could, T can make it in ten minutes Afraid the story's out for the moment" she flung toward Barney as she caught down coat and beret from her closet. "I'll have to fly"
 Barney Mcknight unwound his long legs and stood up.
 T have inside information that it's not good flying weather" he said. "'How about my driving you wherever you're going? Won't cost you cent"
 "Than's a lot, but mo-" Janet called back over her shoulder. "It's only flutter. I'm practically there."
 Before the mirror over the but terfly table in the hall Janet stopped to straighten her beret and survey herself. For even the most casual encounter with Lance one must be point device. Lance really noticed the little details that make the difference between per- feet grooming and that thrown together look.
 As matter of fact, without be- ing beautiful, or even convention ally pretty, Janet was one of those rarely fortunate women so trimly designed that they manage to look well groomed even in a March gale.
 It was due partly, no doubt, to

coming. Don't they know at the office that man who's going to be married in week needs a little time for preliminaries?"
 "A lot Hallowel and Benton care when I'm going to be mar ried," Lance said with concentrat- ed bitterness. "A lot they care whether I ever get married or not .. {. I can't bear to tell you this, Jan. I'm afraid it's going to wreck everything = for the present, I mean of course .,. They told me, just this morning, that after the first I'm taking a 25 per cent sal- ary cut"
 Janet sat down slowly. An oak leaf f1uttered down into her lap; and she picked it up and ex- amined it in great detail before she said, speaking very carefully, "But Lance-why, they like your work so muchl MT. Hallowell told me so himself only last month at that dinner he gave for us."
 "Oh, that" Lance said duly. "It isn't that. And it isn't just me. It's a general cut. Necessary re- tlenchment is the slogan. Hard times. We are sure you gentle men would all rather go along with us for awhile than make it necessary for us to dispense en- tirely with some of you .. That kind of blurb."
 He was sitting with his elbows on his knees, his face between his cupped palms, his eyes staring miserably off across the ravine.
 Even while Janet's heart ached with pity for him, she smiled to herself-a little secret, triumphant smile. For she knew something that Lance had never guessed If only he wouldn't make it too hard for her ..
 Later she was to recall that fear with bitter amusement.
