WhyGrow

feel sorry for people who are not
sensitive to the moods of nature,
to the excitement of change, to the
wonder of the potentialities OF
every day human experience!
Yet, as I write, I feel somewhat
guilty because we never know how
viewpoint Is affected by experience
or how we might react in any given
set of circumstances. All know Is
that many persons do not get the
kick out of life which do!
1t amazes and saddens me that SO
many women spend their days in
futile regrets, in stewing about nom
essentials, in holding grievances, or
in being bored, when one good SUM-
set, with the mind and spirit in tune
with nature, would act as tonic.
When a person is dead to the lift
ofsa beautiful red gold sun as it
sinks behind blue hills, to the odor
of burning bonfires in the fall. to the
fragrance of suddenly showered
earth after a hot spell, to the mys-
terry and charm of falling snow, to
the spell of tropical palm tree in
the moonlight, to the moods of the
sea, to the aroma OF a rose in the
| blistering sun-to all of the moods
and variety of nature, feel sorry
for him!
All of these things, which are
taken for granted by many, add
color and charm to everyday life
Not only that, they provide food for
the spirit. I can remember when I
was a young girl the times I took
my family home and then hurried
off to the hill to watch the sun sink
into it's bed of blue and rose and
gold and purple. I did not go alone
because my family was unsympa-
thetic to me but because some in
stinct within me called for solitude
and communion with nature.
I believe. that all people need
times of solitude, even very small
children. However, in the rush of
everyday living, too often we fail to
tap this source of strength and hap
piness, which lies all about us. The
sunset is just as majestic over
shack as it is over a palace. the sea
just as beautiful from flsherman's
boat as from yacht, and roses
smell just as sweet and maybe
more so, oy the side of the road as
when they are in formal garden!
1t seems to me that women, who
are the natural creators of charm
and mood, who should provide
refuge from the ruggedness and
reality of living, would do we'll to
stock their spiritual larders with
appreciation of natures unending
beauty, to remember the healing
qualities of hot cup Of tea on a
cold day, or a long cold drink on
hot day; to understand that the
balm of calm spirit, regardless of
hectic small daily irritations, is
much more priceless than physical
beauty!
In other words. let's not allow life
to become humdrum. I have a little
bag of balsam which I sniff on very
hot days. It immediately transports
me to the mounains of New Hamp
shire. All of the potentialities OF
vivid living depend on you, on your
ina gination. your outlook. on your
awareness of the beauty of living.

With Hatbox in Hand
By Betty Miles

The number of girls who hope
some day to see their endearing
young charms on the cover of a
magazine, or to grace a runway in
chic splendor, is not a modest one
For tnnumerable reasons, the num-
Der of girls who actually 60 to work
with the models inevitable hatbox
tucked under one arm is small. But
whether girl has professional as
pirations or simply absorbs an occa-
stonai glamour hint from a profess
sional beauty she's apt to find the
goings-on in modelling school as
intriguing as the workings of oscar
Of the Waldorf to a gourmet.
Modelling schools screen their
prospective students, and since they
are designed primarily to train stu
dents to be professional models,
weed out girls or women who simply
could not make the grade. It's not
uncommon, however, for school to
feature a self-improvement course
as corollary to the professional
course.
Regarding tipping Of students, the
Instructor at one recently opened
school puts 1t this way. I'VE don't
try to change the girls. We try to
find them" In other words, girl
may be classified as the housewife
type. the hostess type, the high
fashion type, or fall into any one of
a dozen categories The important
thing is that no attempt is made to
make fresh-faced Mary Jones into
lirnpid-eyes siren. The school con-
cef1trates on developing that fresh
faced beauty typical of Mary Jones.
Strangely enough, one Of the most
important things model has to
learn is-how to smile. And the ex-
perts are agreed that this is one of
the hardest things to teach. A gen.
uine. sparkling smile Is demanded
on a runway nervous. pinched
grimace is deadly. This is tied in
with a quality described as mental
poise." It's invaluable to a model,
and not unhandy for the average
woman.
OF course, q prospective model
whites her figure with exercise and
learns how to walk-the method she
learned at mothers knee may not
be the best. In the manner of
ballerina, she learns to use her
hands with grace. concentrating on

Paint for Concrete
Won't Crack or Peel,
Is Moisture-Proof
By HiIson Munsey

Concrete floors always are prob
lem when it comes to painting. All
concrete contains alikali and the
ordinary paint is not proof against
its effects. Paint frequently remains
soft and usually peels off. I
To prevent this, it is necessary to
use an alkali-proof material. There
is one on the market with a chlori-
mated rubber base. 1t is moisture
proof and resists chemical action.
Another danger which paint on
concrete has to overcome is the type
of cleaners used on the floor. These
also contain alkali, and the floor
paint must be able to resist this con-
slant test. This material can be
used either" for interior or exterior
work 1t is addressing and gaso-
line proof which makes it very
useful material for garage floors.
When applied, it dries quickly 1t
takes only day before it will stand
the wear and tear of heavy traffic
and is tack-free in one to three
hours. The longer it is allowed to
dry, the harder it becomes. When
brushed omit flows freely and forms
a continuous film having exceptional
hiding qualities. A gallon will cover
about four hundred square feet in
ore coat or half that surface with
two coats. 1t comes in six different
colors in addition to black and
white.
: Another preparation that can be
used on concrete floor is dye,
rather than a paint. 1t also can be
used either on interior concrete or
outside. 1t is moisture and alkali-
proof and it will dust-proof cement
floors, in addition to dyeing them
This material is not surface coat
ing. 1t penetrates the cement and
works it's way into the surface to
become an actual part of the cement,
itself. 1t. binds the cement par
ticles together to make them a COM
pact whole that is wear resisting
and which guarantees a dustless sur

it is easily mopped and cleaned.

When the interior partitions
which divide house into rooms
and halls are being built, it is es-
sential that they be erected accord

the same care as the frame of the
house.
The United States Department
of Commerce recommends that all
interior partitions be erected on a
sole, laid over the rough floor, and
that the studs or upright partition
frame members be spaced 16 inches
apart on centers.
Skimping on partition work may
