You'd imagine Carmel would
have been nervous when she
walked on the set of Whistle

years. But when old timers such
as George Raft commended that
she hadn't changed an iota, Car
mel was really happy.
A beautiful face, says Carmel
is partly the result of being
completely relaxed at all times.
She always manages to get
eight hours sleep and never lies
awake thinking about things TO
do. She gets rid of any prob
lem that might be bothering her
before retiring so that she can
sleep Soundly.
Another method for relaxation,
she says, is to have a hobby. In
her case it is her home and chill.
dren.
She loves to shop for antiques
and furnishes her home with
them. She has fun entertaining
for her children and plans all
their parties.
Children shouldn't be kept in
the background, she believes, and
her Sonny, Is, and Mary, 4, arc
important members of their pa
ents' household. Knowing chill
dren are inquisitive, Carmel per-
mits them to greet the guests and
talk with them. She always treats
her children with the same cour-
tesy and respect she does an adulr
and feels sure that it will help
them avoid the awkward age.

THINK FOR YOURSELF

Do your own thinking; don't let the
other fellow think for you to drive you to
a conclusion that accords with his.
That advice is particularly worth
while because the United States probably
is subjected to greater amount of diverse
propaganda at present than during any
other time. Were you in a newspaper
office. you would be enlightened suf-
nciently to determine the play for the sup
port of the public of the object the writer
of any piece of propaganda wishes to at

oe Millions of dollars. are spent in stamps
in sending out >hteratnre' about this or

filled with Immediate release" articles
or with booklets that are elaborately pre-
pared.
If YOU read any of the articles and do
not make it point to form your own con-
cluSlon, which can be done only by think
ing for yourself, you will be convinced
that there is only one side to the question
discussed. and that is the side of the pro-
pagandist you have just finished reading.
However, i'll the next mail, you will
receive another article on the same sub
jeet. and that writer will put forth argu-
ments that apparently are just as sound
as those advanced BY the first writer.

'Oh, no!'

that she could never get over it.

Mrs. Frick this afternoon. I'll ask
her about him. Perhaps"
The profound instinct of her
nature was loyalty. She had a
quick and remarkably sound in
tuition in the reading of ci1arac-

forever cherished them: she saw
their weaknesses and could ex-
cuse them. And she had seen in
that man something strong and
fine. something which her heart
refused to discredit. She was
cruelty affronted by his letter.
