Remember the shirt sales
man with the eyepatch? 1t all
started a few years ago when a
New England shirt manufac-
turer launched an ad campaign
designed to attract sophisticated
New Workers.. He chose as his
model a mustachioed chap
whose chief distinction was his
eyepatch. The ad created some
thing Of a sensation in adver-
tising circles and led, as these
things do, to a flood of imita-
tions.
And now the eyepatch man,
or perhaps it's just the people
who employ him, are doing
their own bit of initiating

it Is up to us to enrich them.
The farmer who was greeted
by an admiring clergyman
with, "Mr. Jones, you and
God have created a beautiful
garden here" replied: "You
should have seen it when God
was handling it aloneI"
It's Just as difficult to
budget time as it is money
and just about as necessary.
Every morning I write down
everything I hope to accom-
plish, and then budget my
time.
Perseverance
I have found that per-
severance and tenacity go
along with organization to
hurdle the setbacks and diff
culties that have a nasty
habit Of creeping into every
body's life at consistent in
tervals.
Most things that are WORTH
while doing involve crises,
delays. discouragement. or
anxieties. During these jolly
involvements, the only an
swer is to grind your teeth
and step on the effort pedal.
Thanks to some cosmic secret
which I haven't been let in
on, a break usually comes Just
at the point of total hope
lessness. Suddenly, things
which have seemed over
whelmingly difficult an hour
earlier become easy to handle.
The hills f1atten when you
come to them.
Evening star., 1960-08-07

It's an excellent idea never
to inf1ict your anxieties or
nerves on your family or your
friends, except in q real hair
down session. They probably
not only have enough trouble
OF their own, but your going
around like a prophet Of
doom isn't going to help any.
Bursts Of temperament, of
course, will get you nowhere
and they scatter any con-
structive assistance that
might come your way like a
shot from a howitzer.
Thinking effectively is ex-
tremely important in order to
determine what really mat
tiers. You can train yourself
to do this; to weigh, to ap-
praise. and to reach intelli-
gent and unprejudiced con-
clusions.
No Dignity
Going along with the mob
has no dignity and less
charm. Emotions and feel
ings we shall have with us
always, but the best decisions
are those based on evidence
and brainwork.
Then, Of course, the twin
kle that rides herd on all our
behavior is humor.
But humor must be kind.
The devastating wit may be
the life of the party but he
has no charm If he uses his
talent as a form Of acute
Sadism.
All these things self
discipline, organization, per-
severance. objective think
ing, and humor-come to-
gether to help you reach the
serenity and grace that
charm brings with it.
But overriding all of them
is the ancient and honorable
admonition: Know thyself.
knowledge of yourself leads
to bringing out that better
part of yourself which is
there. It's often lurking in
the shadows Of that unpleas-
ant self, which is also there,
and it's pretty silly to deny
it.
But there's a law in physics
which says that heat gained
is equal to heat lost. If you
develop the better part of
yourself the worst part is
bound to lose in direct pro-
portion to the energy you
eXpend in developing the best
part.
When your own natural
charm gets buried under
those layers we mentioned
earlier, it hasn't got a chance
in the world of breathing
properly. Getting rid of the
layers, blocks, hurdles, or
whatever you want to call
them isn't an easy job.

THAI CERTAIN SOMETHING
For Charm, Be Yourself

be charming, but you do need
to be well groomed and attrac-
tive.
In some rare cases, charm
can shine through a shaggy
exterior. But it's a long gam
BILE. and I wouldn't recon-

Never Petty
Enid Haupt, the attractive
editor of Seventeen magazine,
is an enormously capable
woman who never lets an ex-
ecutive desk overpower her
femininity. She says:
A charming person is never
petty or petulant-rather one
who is genuinely interested in
people and activities. Charm
gives an automatic radiance
that magnetizes and, to my
way Of thinking, is the true
essence Of beauty. Instead of
fading with the passage of
time, the charm of a person.
ality grows with the years.
One could even call charm a
self-developed talent, for it
reflects individuality, intel
ligence, and warmth Of spirit.
Almost anyone can achieve
charm-its ingredients are
really only self discipline and
thoughtfulness.
I go along with this en-

since the days of Augustus
Caesar, and everybody from
the vicar to a psychiatrist
tells you you've got to be
that. But very few Of them
are able to explain just how
to go about accomplishing it.
You, as a person, already
have charm. You may not be
aware of it. It's your own,
very special charm, and no
one else can duplicate it ex-
actly. It's personal, as a
dream is personal. It's not
an imitation of somebody
else's charm, and it's strictly
nontransferable.
You can get at it by releas-
ing yourself-from the ten
tacles Of prejudice, fear, bias,
uniustified guilt, self-pity,
self-centeredness, and a dozen
other nuisances. g..
There are a few basic pre-
cepts that ought to be help
full in tackling this seemingly
simple job Of being yourself.
I believe, for instance, that
all human beings are born
endowed with some good quail
tiles. You might have to strain
to find them on occasion. but
they are there and it's worth
the trouble to seek them out.
I think that the Golden
Rule is the most overlooked
tranquilizer in the world to-
day, and that Saint Francis
Of Assist was with it all the
way when he prayed, Grant
that I seek not so much to be
understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love-"
The Best Part
In total. charm is the best
part of yourself complement
ing every word and action
with a kind of humanity. In
part, there are many individ-
ual things that contribute to
it: Your mind. your appear
ance, your feelings. and-for
the lack of a clearer term
your spirit.
There is nothing weak or
Intellectual in understanding
the other persons point of
view or at least listening to it
with something other than
patronizing patience.

Charm might be described
as enlightened self-interest,
a development of ones best
self. Some of us come by it
naturally, but most of us have
to come by it the hard way.
In the simplest possible

is an unmotivated interest
in others.
