rounding the small valley were
secluded caves where corn was
stored, meat hung to dry and all
the treasures that made life enjoy
able were tucked away. In case OF
enemy attack the occupants of the
village fled to the caves, where food
and water was stored for just such
emergencies, and access was so pre-
cariouS that a few we'll directed
boulders rolled down the side of the
cliff could easily nip OF" the enemy
one by one.
Here generations flouriShed. They
wove sandals of the hemp fiber that
grew around them. They twisted
feathers and fur strips into the
same hemp and wove them into
blankets. They made baskets so
tightly woven that they would hold
water, and they could make a mush
of corn meal and water by placing
red hot stones in the basket of
water. They took good care of their
babies, made cradles of wood,
padded them with soft cedar bark
and wrapped the child in a feather
robe. Soft ribbons of cedar bark
made a cushion for its head and a
"dydee" equally well.
Though this may seem a very
poor existence to most of us, the
fact remains that within a few
hundred wards of their own tiny
house was the wherewithal of life
time. Though they spent their life
time merely to exist. and worked
hard at it, their understanding of
pleasure and beauty was strong
enough to make them select home
sites with seclusion and the best
available view, and to decorate in
some way each article of handcraft
they created.

II her Fairy Godmother should
ask a girl baby what gift she should
drop into her cradle, the wise child
would say: Give me tact, for If
I have that I will have the magic
word that will open all the doors
I wish to enter; that will bring me
hosts Of friends; that will get me a
husband and enable me to keep
him, and solve for me all the prob
lens which make women grow old
before their time" And the pre-
cocious infant would be right in
her choice, for the greatest gift
that any woman can have is the
knack Of always saying and doing
the thing that soothes us and makes
us feel pleased with ourselves 1t
IS an attraction greater than beauty,
because any woman looks good to
us who makes us look good to our
selves. 1t is more potent than wit,
because we never weary Of the
tongue that jollieS and never stings.
1t is intelligence raised to the nth
degree, because the woman who pos
sesses it never lets us find out how
much smarter she is than we are.
So great is the power of tact and
so rich its emoluments. it is a
strange thing that women who
spend 50 much time and thought
in trying to make themselves
glamorous do not make more effort
to cultivate 1t. But, curiously
enough, they overlook what Is their
best bet in the whole category of
feminine allure. They still pin their
faith to cosmetics and clothes, but
it would pay them 30 much better
to take more pains with the words
that come out of their mouths than
they do in making up their lips,
and give more thought to stream
lining their conversation than they
do to their figures.
Now, Of course, in its higher
brackets tact is just as much a
talent that is capriciously bestowed
upon a lucky few by Nature as is
a singing voice, or the ability to
act or dance or play golf. or do
anything else superlatively well.
There are men and women born
with sixth sense that enables them
to divine intuitively what will Of
fend or hurt, or please others, and
that gives them the skill to walk
on eggs among the prejudices and
vanities and habits Of their fellow
creatures without cracking a single
shell.
But even If the Good Lord did not
see fit to create us supermen with
an approach that none can resist,
we need not despair, for tact is
