WO How Any One Can Be Charming BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Recently I heard charm described as merosity of judgment coupled with indness. The definition seemed so true I am passing it along for your con- | MOTHER IS THE MOST CHARMING PERSON IN THE WORLD TO A CHILD. sideration. The dictionary gives fas- cination as a synonym for charm, and further states charm to be a power of alluring or delighting. These are de- scriptive without being helpful in at- taining charm. The_definition I am giving is suggestive of ways by which charm can be acquired. The person who has generosity of Judgment is never severe or consorious. | She realizes that there may be extenu- ating circumstances even when evidence indicates that some one has been most unwise and perhaps has acted very strangely. These circumstances have to be reckoned with. They may alter the whole aspect of an affair. Without knowing what these circumstances are, N0 one is in position to judge another's actions harshly Yet this is being done eontinuously If you find a person who is generous BEDTIME STORIE Getting Acquainted. To strangers always be polite; You'll find it wise as well as right. —Jerry Muskrat. ©On the bank of the Smiling Pool sat | Peter Rabbit perfectly still. On one end | of an old log, which was half in and | half out of water, sat Jerry Muskrat. | He, too, was perfectly still. Both were *I THINK YOU MUST BE A STRANGER HERE AT THE SMIL- | ING POOL.” watching the: approach of a beautiful white stranger. With slow, stately steps the stranger was drawing near. At times he stood perfectly still for so long that Peter Rabbit nearly lost patience. Twice his long neck shot forward and his Jong yeilow bill seized something in the water. Once it was a half-grown frog; once it was a minnow. The white atranger was fishing. At last the stranger was near enough. NS - PAG 1in judgments toward others, you may be sure he or she will be equally kind in | summing up your own actions, and you | are drawn toward whoever it is. You are charmed. By doing the same thing you too can become charming. Generous is defined as liberal, bounti- | ful, open-hearted, magnanimous. Put | any one of these words before judgment | and it infuses leniency into what is a rather severe word. No one would | shrink from an open-hearted judgment, a liberal judgment, etc. Neither does one withdraw from a personality that uses such kindly judgments, Instead others are drawn to individuals of this caliber. They have a power to lure or to fascinate.” Such a power lies within the reach of all who will temper their | judgments with xindly generosity. | There is a fine reactionary effect| | upon persons who use a kindly gen- erosity of judgments. They cannot| | exercise ~ kindness without becoming | kindly, tolerant and sweet. A mother uses " generosity of judgment coupled with kindness in the treatment of a | child. To him, she is the most wonder- ful and charming person in the world An over-indulgent mother looses in- fluence over him because she does not exercise judgment. A child respects good fudgment, not harsh. but kindly judgment, the true sort that is defined as the power to) decide correctly. When a correct judg- ment is tempered with kindness and benevolence, it is a rather appealing thing. It has a winning aspect and appeal. It lends charm. (Copyright, 1930.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Ecstasy. Some people sometimes become ec- static. That is, they become absorbed in idéals that project themselves into the ultimate ends of the future. Ecstasy is a mental condition during which the individual stands out of time | and space. A world of fancy obscures his world of reality. You may get into a state of ecstacy | by merely pronouncing some common word again and again. After a while | it loses meaning, because its very pro- | nunciation distracts attention from its | concrete application. You are then in a world of fancy. The mental state is akin to intoxication. i ‘The whirling dervishes become ec- | | static by merely gyrating around on | | their heels. Any monotonous oecupa- | tion will bring it on. The wonder of | | Niagara is its power to induce hastily | | the ecstacy of empathy—that is, the | | identification of the self with some- thing that defles interruption. The laws of chance have something attractive about them. These laws breed ecstatic feelings. A little knowl- | edge of mathematics might easily re- | | duce the ecstatic feelings to the com- | monplace.

Queries Dorothy Dix. NG WASHINGTON, D. C.. FRIDAY, Thinks Acquainted, | T i & queer thing about our attitude toward women and money. Women need money more than men do and need more of it. It is more important to a | woman to have money than it is to a man. A woman's happiness, her wel)- | | being, physically and spiritually and morally, depends more on her having money than man’s does. Also, life holds compensations for a woman, no matter What misfortunes may have befallen her, if she still has the run of the department stores, More- | over, most of the money in the world is handled at one time or another by women, ibera ise they do the buying and spend the money that men earn, | | Yet, in spite of these well knowg facts, we act as §f money was of no impor- tance at all to women. Something 1ife air that is mifaculously provided for them | by nature and of which they will always be sure to have enough to enable them to live comfortably. Very seldom do we teach them how to earn money or how | to use it or how to save it . Funny, isn't it, when you come to think about it, | Begin with childhood. From the time a little boy is old enough to under- stand anything we_begin to talk to him about money and the thing he is going | to do to earn it. We ask little Johnny if he is going to be a doctor or a mer- | chant or a street car conductor and we impress upon him the importance of | making himself an expert so that he can command high pay. But we never ask little Mary what kind of work she is going to do when she | | grows up and whether she is going to be a stenographer or a milliner or a book- | keeper, though. goodness knows, she is quite as sure to need to know how to make | money as her brother. Indeed, of so little importance do most parents consider this subject that | | often they do not even try to fit their daughters for any especial occupation, but just, let them drift into any kind of odd job that comes along without any refer- ence to their talents or aptitudes. They still cling to the old superstition that a girl does not need to earn | money, even though she will starve if she doesn't earn it. And, anyway, they are | sure she will have to support herself but for a short time, even though the com- monest observation shows that the chances of a girl marrying grow slimmer year by year and the likelihood of her having to continue to be & wage earner after marriage increases every day. | Yet just by reason of her sex it is harder for a girl to get a job and hold |1t than it is for a boy and it is, therefore, far more necessary that she should be | taught some way of making a living than that he should be, but it just simply | isn’t done as a matter of course as it is with a boy because—well, just because. | We don't teach girls how to spend money, which is just as important as | | knowing how to make it. Even small boys are given an allowance, but it is rare | indeed for a small girl to have one given to her. Parents recognize that a boy | | feels cheap without some pocket money, but they never consider their daughter's | feelings in that respect. When a boy goes to Work his mother never thinks of | taking his pay envelope away from him and giving him back only a few cents | for carfare and lunches. She boasts about what & good son Johnny is if he gives | her what he sees fit of his earnings. | But when Mamie goes to work mother makes her bring home her pay en- | | velope unopened to her and she decides what amount Mamie is entitled to out | of the money she has worked for. Mother's excuse is that Mamie doesn’t know how to use money, though it would seem that a girl who had intelligence enough | to earn a dollar would have sense enough to know what to do with it. Anyway, the result is that whether a girl is rich or poor, whether she has inherited a fortune or hammered out a thin dime on a typéwriter, she is not | | taught to use it wisely and well. Everything is bought for her as long as she remains at home and about the first experience she gets in really handling money |is when she gets married. It is because girls have been taught nothing of the | | real value of money nor how to use it that so many young wives are so wasteful and extravagant and make so many mistakes in their spending. Finally, there is the stupendous and amazing and incomprehensible fact that men who adore women, devoted husbands and fathers who literally work themselves to death trying to accumulate the money that will keep their wives and daughters soft and safe, make no effort whatever to teach these women | how to take care of the fortunes they leave them when they die. They know how terrible is the fate of the middle-aged woman who has lived | in the lap of luxury all her days and who is suddenly thrown out on the world | | to support herself. “They have seen dozens of these women whose husbands Jef: | | them comfortable fortunes, who have sunk it all in fool speculations or been film. | flammed out of their money by greedy relatives and who have been left to eat | | the bltter bread of dependence or do menial wor. ey knew their own wives are just as ignorant, just as cr | much the foredoomed prey of some sharper.

In 8 later paragraph she confesses that her neck always been that way | but she has been most neglectful of | taking any exercises to keep the mus- cles of the throat firm and youthful. | As this reader is by no means the only one who suddenly has discovered that her neck has become fat and | dumpy, we hasten to the aid of those | so afflicted. A chinline which loses | the fine slender contour of youth is very often one of the first signs that | the years leave. And just as unattrac- tive ‘as the fat and dumpy neck is the | one which is thin and scrawny. The | suggestions I am going to give for keeping the neck pretty and the chin- | line elear cut and smooth will apply | both to the too-thin and the too-fat necks. Regular exercise and massages | will wear away the excess fat on thick necks and they will also cover thin | necks with firm, supple flesh. | The following exercises should be! included in the daily beauty program: (1) Sit or stand erect. Slowly lower, the head backward between the shoul- | der blades and raise the chest. Raise | the head slowly and rotate it loosely, | first to the left, then to the right and | forward and back again. Repeat ten | times. (2) Allow the arms to hang loosely at the sides: raise the shoulders | as high as possible, then bring them forward, down and backward until s circle is formed. Do this six times and then reverse the motion. (3) Turn your head first to the right and then Keep the shoul- s well back. Repeat ten times. Then throw the head well back and mllow | 1t to come forward as though you were | | nodding. Repeat ten times. These | exercises should be done every morn- | | ing and again for a few minutes after undressing at night. | A neck which is fleshy or which has | become flabby should be bathed reg- | ularly in hot and cold water alternately | and at bedtime it may be massaged with massage alcohol. Twice a week apply an astringent pack, as this is a | very effective way to help melt away | a double chin as well as to s'xengthen( and tone flabby muscles. Before apply- ing the pack cleanse the neck with cream or ofl and then apply a turkish | towel wrung out in_hot water. After | the massage wipe off the excess cream | and apply the astrinigent pack. For | the pack use plain witch hazel, or if | the neck is very fleshy use the follow- ing: One dram boric_acid, one dram | e N On Your Vacation Give attention to the offensive de of personal hygiene.

Also, because it contains the iron needed to help prevent anemia — another danger in reducing diets. ALL-BRAN is not fattening.
