Teach Child
TOBeGOOd
Loser
Urge Him to Play
Harder Next Time
In Order to Win
By Aneelo Pafri.

We have to teach children TO be
good losers. They do not come by
that easily. 1t is not in human
nature to like to be beaten, and
children are human nature at its
fullest, richest state.
1t won't do to have a child cry
and throw his bat on the ground,
shout he won't play, he is cheated
it was no fair and the like, He
must learn to accept the decision
of the umpire, to know that the
best man won and take it with as
cheerful a smile as he can manage.
If It is good form to shake hands
with his conqueror, he must make
that gesture in good grace.
would not tell him that he
must accept defeat inWardly with
good grace. Not at all. He wants
to win when he plays and he should
try to do so with all his might and
main. When he does his best and
fails, he is to make no Sign-he
must take it gracefully-but in
wardly he is to ask himself why
he failed and what he can do to
make him the winner next time.
When he takes defeat as just one
failure that must be wiped out by
greater effort and finer skill next
time he is on the way to power,
and that is the attitude that good
sportsmanship instils. The defeat
ist attitude, the spirit that says,
what of it? Who cares? 1t makes
no difference whether I win or lose
so long as I play fairly" is not good
craftsmanship and it does not make
for fine character.
A defeat ought to make a loser
fight again and harder. 1t ought
to send him to the experts to dis
cover what is wrong with his play.
1t should make him determine that
he will work for the next chance
and do his best to be in better shape,
In stronger spirit, in good form for
the game, to win if he possibly can.
Defeat taken in that spirit is tonic
to the soul and body.
I have no sympathy with the
notion that one does not play to
win, that one plays for the sake
of the play. I don't believe that
Everybody plays hard to win and
feels badly when he loses in this
struggle for life's prizes. and chill
dren get their training for this
struggle in their play life. their
games, tournaments and matches
They have to learn to play hard
and we'll to win, and after doing
their best, to accept the decision
with outward grace and the in-
ward resolution to fight again and
win.
The prizes of the game belong tc
the winner. I am not on the side
OF those who think there should
be no prizes. That is contrary tc
any plan of life yet seen on this
earth. Children ought to be giver
the awards of the game when they
have been fairly won-laurels ano
medals. and brass bands if they
belong to the occasion.
The winner keeps the marbles he
wins, the winning team gets the
pennant, the star performer the
medal. The victor must be crowned
but the loser, to be good loser
must be inwardly resolving thai
next time is his time If he gives
in, accepting defeat as his lot, he
isn't a good loser, but a sick one
Keep him to the healthy side

broken heart, about the home that
she is wrecking, about the chill
dren who are being shamed by their
father, about the money that is
needed for shoes and clothes and
groceries at home that is being
spent upon buying her gew-gaws.
And she doesn't care. She has
neither heart nor conscience. There
is nothing to appeal to in her. All
she wants is the pleasure of the
moment and she does not care who
pays the price for her good times.
There is nothing that a wife can
do about philandering husband
except either to divorce him, or be
a sport about his affairs.

jeweler design two large gold pins
which look almost like bouquets
with the attached charms taking the
place of the flowers We've pic
tured the pins on this page so that
YOU may see just how lovely they
are-and maybe get few ideas OF
your own.
Another charm bracelet transfor-
nation seen about town appears IN
the form of two straight gold bar
pins from which the charms are sus-
pended in horizontal lines. Or, some
of the girls are pinnlng their brace-
lets to the lapels of suits by means OF
little Jump ring pins on either end.
The bracelets swing from these pins
in a semi-circle. and are very ef-
fective. Also in the category OF
ideas that make sense is the one
thought up by the lady who had
number of seemingly useless old
fashioned heart shaped locketS ana
other trinkets from another era. A
little investigation proved that these
gadgets could be put on jump rings
and used as extremely smart upper
pulls. The idea has gone over so
well among those who know, that
many women are using st. Chris
topher medals, old earrings and other
ornaments in this same amusing
fashion. They look we'll on the front
of a dress and are even rather
amusing at the side placket OF a
skirt, Just for the fun of it.
For something pretty special, you
can have your wristwatch done over
in the form of lapel pin. Our IA
vorite to date is square diamond
watch which has been done on
tiny diamond bar pin and which
couldn't look snapper. Needless to
say. if the novelty wears off the
watch can always 60 back on the
wrist with little or no trouble. Any
way, you can think up lots of clever
ideas-and the jewelers. are delighted
to work them out for you.
Before we forget it, Mrs. Roosevelt

And some folks are too polite to

AS matter of fact, fellas who
park their hats and coats on the

one of the most convenient articles

You will find these tables large

Add dash of brightness to the
bathroom with a new shower cur
tain. These are regular size and
come in different patterns and colors
to fit in with your chosen decor.
Also, they are mildewproof and
water repellent, which is a helpful
feature. Speaking of shower cur
tains, there is another type which is
expected to reach town any time
now, and which we think will be very
'sWank." These are made of
plastic material that will not crack,
peel, stain or mildew. They are also
waterproof and will hang as straight
and smooth as your new dinner

be able to secure these in 13 differ

Colored cleansing tissues to match
the bathroom decorative scheme are
now available in a large selection OF
shades, including orchid, peach. yel-

There is gelatin on the market
made from vegetable sources that is

1t is also useful in preparing nour-
ishing salads with vegetables as we'll

prepared very quickly, due to the
fact it will solidify in about 80

AS first step toward such under
standing. We think you should re-
member that no matter how eco
nomiC conditions change, the fun
damental physical and psychologi-
cal characteristics of men and Wom-
en- won't change-at least, not this
century.
Man, by his nature, is the aggres-
sor, the fighter, the guardian and
protector of the family. Woman is
mans inspiration, the prize for
which he fights, the creator and
conserver of the home.
Thus the characteristics and ca
pabilities of the two sexes supple
ment each other; together, they
make perfect team. But there isn't
much equality" in this setup. Ma
lures idea wasn't equality; it was
cooperation. And the closer you
stick to Natures idea in your boy
girl relationships, the more sue
cessful and happy they are to be-
And right there is the best answer
"Just why should a fellow pay a
girls way on a date?" He should
do it to maintain that vitally
important attitude of masculine
leadership in romantic affairs.
Granted that it's a financial strain.
and that it seems unfair and illogi-
cal from dollars -and-centS point
Of view. Nevertheless. We think the
psychological factors are important
enough to justify the sacrifice.
As for the girls. it's our opinion
that they make a serious mistake if
thev let their desire for expensive
good times lead them into habitual
Dutch treat dating. A little of it
does no harm. but masculine self
respect is almost sure to suffer if it
becomes a regular thing. Exactly
the same thing is true of girl-asks-
bov parties, when these parties in
volve the expenditure of consider
able cash. When we warn you
against spelling" boys by too many
invitations, that's one of the things
we have in mind.
When fellow and girl are going
steady. or engaged, some sharing
of dating expenses is both logical
and harmless, provided their funda-
mental attitudes toward each other
are right. The same thing is even
more true after they are married
But you can still never afford to
forget that it's always dangerous
for a fellow to shift the financial
burden to a girls shoulders.
Frankly, We think that this whole
situation is mostly the fault of the
girls. Jane starts to work, earns a
good salary and soon acquires ex-
pensive tastes in clothes and enter
tainment Along comes a boy and
they start dating. But the boy can't
afford to spend lot and Jane isn't
satisfied with the simple dating fare
he is able to offer.
The boy senses this attitude, and
either sets her down as a gold
digger, or feels the resentment that
Eric F.. expressed in a recent letter.
Or perhaps Jane lets her desire for
costly good times overcome her bet
ter judgment and starts spending
her own money for their dating eX-
penses The boy may permit it, but
either he resents her and feels in
ferior because of the situation, or
else he grows accustomed to it and
becomes a. gold-digger on his own
account. And Jane loses either Wav!
The answer? It's rather obvious

Dear Mrs. Post: Mother thinks
when boy who has driven me home
walks up to the door with me that
I should say good night and go
inside the house Immediately before
he turns to go back to his car I
think that looks rude and feel that
as long as he walks with me to the
front door, should at least wait to
go inside until he drives away in
the car Which of us is right?
AnsWer-Your mother! She is
right in this, absolutely. Standing
at the door watching him get into
his car is longing looking" of the
same variety as standing out at the
curb watching for him to drive up.
Nor is it proper to stand at the door
of your house saying a dragged out
good night,
Dear Mrs. Post: II one sends
regrets Immediately when invited to
a party, does that cancel ones in
debtedness to that hostess, or does
her invitation, regardless, create an

Answer-Her invitation creates the
obligation-if you regard it as such.
Or to put it more accurately, her
invitation cancels her obligation (if
there was one to you).
