| |WhyGrow
Old?
By J0sebhine Lovman

If women wish to live Adventur-
ously they should enlarge their
horizons. One Of the best ways to
do this is to participate In new ac-
tivities and particularly those which
you dread.
For instance, many women have
holy horror Of standing to talk be-
fore a group. This group may be
made up of women the speaker has
known all OF her life, and she
would no doubt talk fast and furi-
ously with any one of them, yet
she becomes panic stricken at the
thought of talking to them as
group. The very idea dries her
mouth and makes her legs feel as
weak as mush.
II you should decide to discipline
yourself In this matter you would
not expect spectacular rewards,
would you? That is where you are
wrong You may never become a
noted speaker or even a pleasing
one, but you will gain a measure
OF self-esteem and self confidence
which will be reflected in many ways
In your personality.
You simply cannot live a more
interesting life or build a vibrant
personality by covering away from
every new opportunity for devel-
opment and sidestepping every new
activity. One must meet new peo-
pile, new situations, new challenges.
Any one can learn to speak be-
for group without timidity. 1t is
just a question Of practice. I take
that only as an example because
it is so universally something the
average woman breads The same
thing goes for all kinds of things,
even sports.
II you decide to begin building
yourself up by accepting and con-
quering your fear the next chance
you have to speak before a group
OF women remember these things.
Be sure Of your subject and have
1t well prepared. Lack of prepara-
ton leads to nervousness until you
are adept enough to be impromptu.
Take several very deep breaths be-
fore you stand to speak. Have a
few notes to give you confidence.
Be carefully groomed. Very impor-
tant-do not rush to the meeting.
Get ready in plenty of time. Haste
can throw" any but the most vet
eran speaker.
Concentrate on the persons you
are talking to and their reactions.
You may select one at whom you
look little more than the others
Think of her as a friend to whom
you are speaking This will help
throw your speech into an informal,
natural key.
If you have tho worry habit and
fear many things, l will be glad to
help you II you Win send . Scent

Recently I was invited to share
the wartime dish which has be-
come so popular in the family that
1t is made every week, in quantities
large enough to serve more than one
meal. 1t is called Hopping John"
and is of Southern origin. 1t is
combination of black eyed peas,
which are really form Of beans
and which are also known as cow
peas, and rice cooked with a bit of
ham hook and in this particular
family with an onion. Other types
of beans could be used. A piece of
bacon or salt pork could replace the
ham hook. My thrifty friend, Peggy
Campbell. buys hook when she can
get it, cuts off few slices for use
at one meal and reserves the re-
mainder for Hopping John"
Four Of us had two helpings the
other night from the recipe print
ed below, and there still remained
enough for one round at another
meal. BY combining the rice with
the peas you can save some of your
points which the latter demand.
Now for another supper speciality
chosen by another family. 1t is
called Cheese Puff" I use dish
very much like it and call it Sun
day Night Cheese" because 1t so
often answers the question when
guests suddenly arrive for supper
on that night. 1t can be prepared
SO quickly that it will be useful to
the business housekeeper.

Mother Shows Unusual Skill
In Handling Four Year Old

teously thanked them for their help.
The points OF interest to mothers
In this story are the commendable
manner in which Jerry's mother
considered her little son. She was
indeed kind and full Of knowledge
OF small people, as was revealed by
the respect she showed the informa-
ton her boy brought her, her pa
tience in answering her sons uues-
tions correctly and at satisfying
length, her wisdom In rewarding
him for his interest in his baby
sister and for the effort he spent to
help her.
The scene reveals another sienifi-
cant point-a victory for Jerrv's
mother. Notice the way her little
boy referred always to his infant
sister as "our baby"
This mother has protected her
older child from the painful giving
IN to jealousy, a mentally unhyeienic
habit that, becoming a vicious char
acter trait, can remain to torment
It's owner all the days OF his life.
