UNCLE RAYS CORNER

There are trees in India which
millions of persons think are holy.
They are known as bo trees or holy
figs.
Bo trees have been planted near
temples all over India. The Hindus
think they are holy because of a
legend. The legend says that the
great god Vishnu was born under
one of them.
Bo trees have large branches and
grow to extreme age. The So-called
figs" which they produce are about
the size of grapes. They can be
eaten, but are not popular as fruit.
Perhaps even more than the
Hindus, the Buddhists think of the
DO tree as holy. They say that the
Buddha, founder of their religion,
learned the secret of life while in
Its shade.
The Buddha was born in India
about $500 years ago. His name
was Gotama (alSo spelled Gautama)
and he was not called the Buddha
until later in his life.
The name "Buddha" means EN-
nghtened One" or "One Who
Knows" We are told that it was
not given to Gotama until after
he sat under bo tree, and thought
of the answer to what had puzzled
him.

eovery of the Buddha in few words,

business it's generally the men who
have the jobs to hand out - so why
bother with women?'
To answer this let me cite an in
stance to prove that girl friends can
be more helpful to girls good time,
in paving the way for her popularity
with boys, than the girl whose letter
l have quoted seems to think. The
example have in mind illustrates the
typical point of view of boys.
This past winter a girl named
Sally, from quite far away, came to
stay a few days with New Yorker
named Muriel who took her to an i'm
portant - meaning very formal -
dance. To girls from other cities,
where every boy does his best to give
girl friend house guest good time,
this may seem to insure a happy end
ing to the story But that is not the
way the story goes in New York. un-
less girl is as arrestingly attractive
as Vivien Leigh and dances like
Zorina.
New York is in some ways a critical
and not overly friendly city. Sally was
not a second Vivien, nor a Zorina.
She was at first sight a nice-looking,
well-behaved, well-dressed girl - the
counterpart of most of the others
there. The fact that Muriel at once
introduced several boys to her might
Evening star., 1941-05-18

of her friends, were above question.
Should schoolgirls - even girls in
college - do things which the public
considers imprudent, criticism would
fall not on themselves, but on their
parents.
If, for example, young schoolgirl
were seen having dinner alone in
restaurant with boy, or going to
city theater with boy alone in the
evening, above all if her manners were
too free and easy. gossips would loudly
condemn her father and mother for
not looking after her.
There is very nice distinction be-
tween what can be defined as the
spontaneous manners of high-spirited
youth and the free and easy behavior
that is inimical to taste. No one ex-
poets, or wants, young girl to be con-
strained or in any way kept from be-
ing her completely natural self. And it
is true. moreover. that a girl of excep-
tional fascination can seemingly follow
almost any impulses that come into
her head, and get away with it" with
a flourish of drums.
Evening star., 1941-05-18

under some circumstances have been
notice to wary stays to keep away,
since unknown girls are likely to prove
permanent partners.
AS already said. there was no COM
pelling come-hither in Sallys person
ality. In short, she was just the sort
of perfectly nice girl" that a boy
would often be terrified to ask to
dance. for fear no one would cut in,
SO that he would be left the whole
evening with her alone. In this case,
however, Sally had had a good build
up given to her by not only Muriel,
but also by Jane and Lucy and Betty,
who were from the same school. Con-
sequently Freddie Fearful, instead of
shying away, gladly asked her to
dance. He felt that if no one cut in he

IT MAY be because the qualities of
her personality make her so likable
that nobody wants to change her -
or chain her, or force her into pat
tern! But the point not to be forgot
ten is that she holds the thoroughly
established good opinion of girls and
boys both! Her credit build-up by the
children on her block and her class
mates in school, would suffer nothing
from what she might seem to do -
because she has been proved incapable
of doing anything underhanded. or
unfair, or demeaning.
In other words, it is not that reck-
less or eccentric behavior is admired.
1t is merely that this tried and trusted
girl is given credit for not living up -
or rather down - to what appear
ances might sometimes lead one to
believe.
The greatest mistake girl can
make is that of believing that per-
sonality which attracts boys wherever
she goes is evidence of glamour, and
that this in turn is the ultimate proof
of complete success. 1t is not meant
by this to belittle "charm" by which

even more important If later on she
embarks upon business career where
good relations with fellow women
workers are important for her success.
Something Locking
IT IS usually safe to say that there
is something radically lacking in the
character of girl whom the majority
of other girls dislike. If it is true that
you, who wrote me the second letter,
do like boys and don't like girls, at
least don't boast of it! You may as

hearts of her hearers, but of resent
