Share Time With Children

little time away. However, if such
episodes are repeated often enough,
it cuts off that close contact and
sharing" that creates sympathetic
bonds.
Perhaps 1t would have been some
what of a trial to Mary Smith to
read aloud to her daughter the jul
venile stories that hold little in
terest for her (although how anyone
can fail to love the children's books
of today is mystery beyond mel.
But she lost an opportunity there.
And if she had allowed her son to
accompany her once in while,
spying out the first birds of spring,
the bits of promising green, and be-
ing together in the big outdoors,
she would have welded another link
in the chain of confidence.
Children remember when we for
get. They need their memories and
they need the glow Of sharing those
memories.

TO MY SURPRISE

A medical colleague writes that
recently he began taking an optimal
ration OF natural vitamin A as sug-
gested in this column, and ITO my
surprise a patch of leukoplakia on
my lip has nearly disappeared In
three or four weeks" This proves,
my colleague kindly adds, that a
busy practitioner must read this
column regularly In order to keep
abreast Of recent advances.
A Canadian banker reports that he
decided to take natural vitamin A
in the hope of building up resist
ance to what call frequent head
colds" British Fortunately, I call it,
building up resistance" when there
is no such thing. And something un-
British, as I have tried to indicate
here many many times, calling it
"cold"-but let that pass now and
we'll listen to the bankers story.
When he had taken the capsules
(four daily, 100000 internationAl
units of natural vitamin A-not syn
thetic carotene) he says much to
my surprise they cured my night
blindness. I can now drive quite
comfortably at night and laugh at
glaring headlights, whereas before
taking the capsules night driving was
a nightmare for me-"
New England reader says it used
to be torture to him to have to take
the car out after dark, for he was
unable to see the road ahead and
had to creep along at snail's pace
and sometimes come to dead stop
when headlights Of opposing traffic
approached. Then one evening
when be had to take the car out he
discovered ito my surprise that I
could see and drive at night as well
as the next fellow. Curiosity made
me try it the following night, and
it was the same. Since then I have
not minded night driving at all. I

for the change, when I ran across

Clarifying
Yourself
By Alicia Hart


MA ScEVAc G6tWM bsAleCN
They have something, the actress
es of the legimate theater. Some
thing which few women in other
walks of life, including other phases
of the entertainment field, seem to
have. It's something magnetic which
draws thousands from all parts OF
the country toward them annual
Iy-Something which often makes
bad play great box office attract
ion.
What is this something which
stage stars have? as case in. point,
what lis it that Gertrude Lawrence
has?
Not beauty as it is popularity con-
ceived. At least not the fiawlesS,
lanquid, "glamor girl" kind OF
beauty.
The very slender, very reddish
blonde, very British Miss Lawrence
is good to look at, but not even a
press agent would say she is the
Hollywood magazine-cover type.
But she is vital person. On the
stage or of, she radiates. vitality.
There's an alivenesS about her voice,
her walk, the way she carries her
self, the way she sits.
DAILY NAP
rs THE SECRET
ITO what does Miss Lawrence at
tribute her unsual, if not actually
amazing. vitality? To a short nap
sometime during the day.
Sometimes sleep before the
matiness, sometimes after. Some
times before lunch, sometimes just
before dinner. Sometimes for an
hour. Sometimes for only ten or
fifteen minutes. But I always get
undressed and, whether have half
an hour or ten minutes, I close my
eyes, relax completely and stop
worrying"
What about her lightness, that
almost elfin touch Miss Lawrence
has? why does she, although per-
fectly poised, always appear to perch
rather than sit on chair? Why
do her feet never seem to doag even
when she is tired? Others with just
as much natural vitality do seem
to become slowed down at the. end
of day. Miss Lawrence, star of the
current Broadway hit, "Skylark," ex-
plains it this way:
when I was much younger I
made up my mind that never
would stand heavily on my feet, that
wouldn't let the upper half of my
body sag against the lower half. I
trained myself to stand tall or, If
you like, to stand young.
Gertrude Lawrence also thinks
that disorder APPS vitality and robs
one of the\ light, though poised
touch. She's a foremost exponent
of the meat and tidy" school Of
thought.
PLANS HER DAILY
ROUTINE CAREFULLY
For example, she always carries
an extra handkerchief and a spare
pair of clean gloves. How can any
woman be at her best if she feels
apolagetic about any Of her Access
series or the state of her hair or
nails?" Miss Lawrence asks.
"Little,A nagging, left-undone de-
tails sap ones energy, too" con-
tinues one Of the most perfectly
groomed women in the theater.
"DuM though 1t sounds, I think every
woman ought to have a plan for
week-in and week-out living. A
plan which allows time to keep her
wardrobe in order, to pick up clothes
at night so that her bedroom isn't
cluttered and confusing in the
morning, time to keep her hair, fig
ure and skin at their attractive
best.
Naturally" Gertrude Lawrence
concludes, such a schedule ought
to allow for time to read, pursue
ones pet interest or hobby and, in
general, to become a more interest
ing and interested person as the
years 60 on"
