We wanted to see how they

shop owners eager to lay In the
fast dwindling stocks Of women's
silk hosiery. There was even . COP

Maybe It was the fluorescent

that made him look blue and more
aged, but also 1t must have been
the hurry burly Of his business. >.
Understand, we're no different
than any other concern. What you
see here Is typical. The whole in

got enough silk for another month
on hand. and after that" He
ahr,,r1ed his shoulders
Somebody came up and said
there was "pandemonium" outside
and they had better close the
doors. Lefcort nodded.
Like the rest of the reputable
concerns, we're selling what we've
got at the regular prices. Some few
people are doubling up.
III women could only wear
stockings with cotton tops and
feet. the supply Of silk would last
twice as long. But no, they want
them al silk. This whole situation
will adjust itself when women
realize that there will be no more
silk available and that they viii
have to use synthetic materials, OF

to do so. Aside from our invest

dence makes It obvious that she
has been brought up. literally. on
compliments.
Parents who praise indiscrim-
inately. telling the child wonder

effort, do 1t for one or two rea-
sons: either to flatter him and 20
win his affections, or to give him .

can't help developing conceit.
All children want the approval
Of parents and friends. The young
child. indeed. even makes AZ open

Watch me" and "Lookit." But
there are other ways Of proving
that one Is Fundamentally inter-
ested in q child than by extrAva-
giant praise. Sometimes all the en-
couragement he needs Is q mere
nod or smile.
Where there are several chill
dren in a family, the dangers from
overpraise are automatically re-
duced. unless the parent happens
to go In for favoritism. Brothers
and sisters compete with each
other more or less. They are able
to measure their abilities. their
successes and failures against their
brothers, and so can have q fair
idea Of where they stand as indi-
vidualS.
Where q younger. or duller child
Is concerned, this may have an
adverse effect. resulting In q feel
ing Of marked inferiority. To off,
set this danger parents must make
it possible for him to compete

favorable comparisons.
