Disturbance
At Injecting
OfClub
President Should
Tell Offenders
OF RudeneSS
BY Emily Post

The president Of a well-knoWn
girls club evidently is having her
hands full with few of the younger
members. who are showing rather
typical symptoms of boy crazy
fever" Her letter tells me:
Continual snatches of conversa-
tions such as Tom and ! went to
the movies last night and 'Oooh,
George-or Tom or Dick or Harry
have become the password of a
small group of girls who come to
our meetings. They sit apart from
the time they arrive until the meet
ing actually begins. and have so
many shuSh-shushed and giggling
conversations, all too evidently on
the subject of boys, that all the other
girls are becoming resentful
LAS president, it is my unhappy
duty to see that no one is made to
feel an outsider, and I know many
of the girls who come by themselves
and whose interest in coming is not
to gossip, are staying away in per-
ceptibly increasing numbers. Can
you suggest how I might put a stop
TO the behavior of these otherS?"
At your next meeting you might
ask this particular group of girls to
stay after the meeting. and then
tell them politely. but firmly. that
they probably have no idea they are
rude, but that they are, and that
giggling and whispering secrets" is
the behavior of children of kinder
garten age: furthermore. that it is
not helping the prestige OF the club.
In talking to them don't seem to be
shocked, whatever you do but make
them feel that the other members
cannot help thinking their CONVEX
sation is not only childish but cheap.
Dear Mrs. Post: 7 am a Young
business woman and expect to take
a course of health and beauty treat
ments at a acknowledgement beauty
salon which has a branch in this
city. I would like to know to whom
and when tips are supposed TO be
given. The course will last over
month.
AnsWer-Since the instructors of
these classes are usually college
graduateS-some OF them, in fact,
having their masters degrees-you
can easily see that it wouldn't Go at
all to offer any Of them tips How
ever. if at the end of the course you
really want very much to show your
appreciation to a particular one of
these instructors it will be entirely
proper TO give a grateful patient
presenter, for that matter. you
could give a remembrance to each.

The Good Inheritance
By Norman Cousins. C
drd-McCdnn.

~ A'O' btufk SOActftos SOWe
ard-McCann.
Presenting parallel between the
struggle for freedom by the Athenian
city-state more than 1000 years ago
and the present world conflict, Mr..
Cousins, editor of the Saturday
Review of Literature, has written
this book creditably but hastily.
Following the pattern he used
in "A Treasury Of Democracy" the
author has divided his volume into
two parts, one purely historical and
the other contemporary, with refer
ences to the past.
Either because Mr.. Cousins is
more Of = generalist than an out
standing classical scholar, or be-
cause the book was written too hur-
riedly to allow careful planning, it
contains q number of errors and is
gathered together much too loosely.
For example, he misconstrues the
reason for the trial of the defective
generals at Aegospotami; he omits
all mention of one of the greatest
democrats Of all history, Demos
themes; his discussion of Aristotles
Politics" is concerned only with
the minor arguments against Plato's
Republic; and he quotes Alexan-
der Hamilton's citation of the
Achaean League, which was an
olgarchical union directed against
democracy, without comment. His
material has very little consecu-
tiveness in its presentation, thus con.
trasting unfavorably with Irwin Ed
mans recent "Fountainheads of
Freedom" which deals with an in
finitely larger subject more success
fully.
Still, any work expressing real
ization Of modern mans inheritance
from the Greeks Is important and
timely. The fall of Athens, the
city's plague, the fateful expedition
to Syracuse, the panoramic ma
chinations Of Alcibiades, the an
archy and civil unrest within the
state. and the ultimate abandon
ment Of republican principles, all
are warnings. The building Of
Athens under such statesmen as
solon, Themistocles, Cleisthenes and
Pericles Il an example worthy Of
being followed.

AIonq These Streets
By Struthers Burt.

SCTtUftCI OOIGO.
From the edges of the Panaman-
ian jungles to the thickly -carpeted
rooms of downtown Philadelphia is
a long jump for any novel. But
Struthers Burt does it In his latest
work, and with zip. Here Is a
certain seller, which none should
miss. for it is both subtle study
Of the well-to-do and an engaging
romance.
Felix Macalister, of the Philadel-
phia Macalisters, is the refreshing
young man of the family who makes
the break for a different sort OF
life than that which tradition de-
cree. He became a professor OF
anthropology in a little Southern
college, instead of the usual we'll
dressed broker or third vice presi-
dent. But the curse OF wealth IN
the form of an uncle's will drags him
back to the city of brotherly love.
where he finally has to face life.
And what a life, especially when 1t
becomes the center Of three womens
interest. Each of the three is differ
ent in every way from the others.
Dea, the embittered New York
dancer, wishes for a suburban exist
ance. Harriet, the wealthy dabbler
in art, thinks she is a red. And
Mavis, the non-P Philadelphia artist,
loves her adopted city. BY them
Felix is forced out Of his introverted
shell to learn that there Is more TO
life than academic study OF man
kind.
He also discovers that the money
which has fallen to him can create
rot, that although 1t can sometimes
buy happiness, it can never prevent
unhappiness. But Felix meets each
problem as it comforts him. and from
them all creates his own philosophy
of life.
The book is a sympathetic satire,
sympathetic because even when Mr..
Burt is attacking the imaginary
Philadelphian, he is defending him
in the same breath. And it is this
spirit of almost paternal forgiveness
for the crimes of his story-child that
gives the book its charm.

With the coming of spring one
feels the urge to tidy the home and
grounds, brighten the somberness
with new paint and make the many
little repairs that may save a large
bill later. Women, too, are handy
at these things and, since man
power in the home is becoming
scarcer and taxes higher. it be-
comes increasingly necessary to get
a few tools and learn to use them
skillfully.
