WOMAK Orderliness Reveals Courag BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Recently I heard s woman say “It takes: courage to be orderly.”” Such an odd statement, I thought.

Itfrequires resolution to force one to do itw When one is tired it takes pluck to things to rights. 1 and pluck are definitions of cour- age. So to some extent it does take courage to be orderly. The word courage, however, implies more than ordinary pluck and resolu- tion. There is in it a generous hint of bravery.

Een patience sorely tried may lead To temper lost d angry deed. -Old Mother Nature. ‘Trader the Wood Rat was having the time of his life. Each night he visited the old cabin where Farmer Brown's| Boy and Stumpy were staying, and was very busy. In the morning the first thing Farmer Brown's boy did was to look to see what Trader had been doing. One morning he found a pock:t in his coat filled with bits of bark, and an- other morning when Stumpy went to pull on a boot he found it half filled | with small, empty cones. But when Farmer Brown's boy went to put his trousers on and found th2 buttons all neatly cut off and nowhere to be found he decided that Trader was getting al- together the best of the trading. There was no time to hunt for the missing buttons that morning, as an all-day trip had been planned. The buttons were not n<cessary, anyway, for he had a belt. It was late in the arter- noon when they returned tired and hungry. Stumpy hustled about getting dinner. “Where did you put the spoons?” he asked. “In a cup on the table,” replied Par- mer Brown's Boy. “They're y _ exploded. gone,” said he. “So are the forks. That dratted Rat has been busy while we have been away. A joke may be a joke, but I like it best when it is on the other fellow. Come on.” “Where are you going?” asked Farm- er Brown's Boy, still not quite sensing Stumpy's remarks. “To get them and forks and else we've lost buttons and an but ain’t missed yet,” replied Stumpy He led the way to Trader’s collection of odds and ends and began to tear apart the hg heap. He tossed the stuff right and left, for he had quite his A spoon was the first g fou Then another spoon and forks. Stumpy grunted each time a of their property was recovered.

That scamp must have taken it out of my pocket.” “If that is all he took you are lucky,” grumbled Stumpy. “Better look in that rusty old can and see what is in that.” Parmer Brown’s Boy did so and laughed aloud. “My missing buttons!” he cried. “And here is a dime and a _two-bit piece that look as if they have been here for ages.” ‘By a two-bit piece he meant a quar- ter of a dollar. ‘“Probably took ’'em from the last party that stayed in the cabin,” growled Stumpy, digging decper into the treasure heap. Here's a strap with a buckle on it, and here’s—by gum! If3% ain't a pocket piece I lost more'n a year ago. Always did wonder what became of it.” He held up a much tarnished Mexican silver dollar with a hole in it. “Carried that thing years just for luck,” he explained. ¥“Remember now that I stayed over night in this here cabin over 8 year ago and missed this thing the next day. Thought I must bave pulled it out of my pocket without knowing it and dropped it. Well, Mr. Packrat, I reckon finding this pays for the trouble you done made us. Guess there's noth- in' more of value here, and dinner is getts d. ‘With their recovered property, they returned to the cabin. ~After dinner Stumpy repaired the door and then stopped up all the holes. “Reckon it's time to put an end to tradin’,” he ex- grimly. But Farmer Brown's Boy couldn't help having a feeling of sympathy for Trader ‘when he should discover how his treas- unm had been scattered.

C., FRIDA 7% |DorothyDix Takes Skill Friends ¥, ana work A CORRESPONDENT asks: “How can I make and keep friends?” Well, making friends is like making a success in business, It isn't ® bit of good luck that befalls you. It is the result-of years of hard work, of effort and self-denial and prudence and tact and making our wares seem desirable to others. We have to “sell” ourselves to those we meet. For there is nothing in a casual glance that would cause any one to break his neck to have us for a friend. Those Who complain that they have no friends are prace tically always of the standoffish kind. The sort that expect others to do all the running and make all the advances. They have to be courted and fiattered and feted and dragged out of their shells, SO‘ it you want friends you have to be friendly. You have to show your heart to your fellow creatures. You have to go after their friendship with as much enthusiasm and determination to win it as you would over & prospective customer with whom you were trying to put over a deal. Then, if you would have friends, you must realize that friendship is a give-and-take proposition. A lot of men and women go thi life with- out ever doing a single thing to bind the heart of any human being to them. Theiiu‘“ uturg and entirely absorbed in their own af- faigs. They avoid sick and aflicted as they would a leper. Their pockets have Yale locks.on them that no appeal of the needy can open. ‘They never bother to write a letter of congratulation or send a wire of condolence and then they wail out, when they are old or in trouble them- selves, that they have no friends. OP course, they haven't. Why should they? They haven't earned any friendship. As we sew we reap, and those who have sowed the little seeds of kindness and sympathy for others reap harvests of friends who rejoice with them in their triumphs and weep with them in their sorrows. ‘To keep a friend avold too great intimacy. No friendship in the world could stand what is called “backdoor neighboring.” People who pop in your house in season and out of season, who are continually under foot, who know the things they should not know and see the things they should not see and get on your nerves and make you hate them by in- vading your privacy. Short lived s the friendship that does not respect a decent formality. s INJOR can friendship long survive too many confidences. Millions of friendships between women have been broken because they told each other, some night when they put up their hair in curl papers together, secrets about themselves and family scandals that they repented telling the next day and hated the other for knowing. . Another thing that kills friendship is that too many le regard it as a graft. They consider the sacred name of friendship a cloak to cover up their holding you up. Because it is harder for you to refuse them than it would be a stranger, they borrow money and never pay it back because you won't dun them for it. They pre.empt the use of your car. They take your books and never bring them back. They borrow your new hat before you have a chance to wear it. They make you do their enter- taining for them by bringing along friends when you invite them to dinner., 'HEY send people you never heard of to you with letters of introduction and ask you to get them jobs or entertain them. They expect you to take care of their children and their dogs and parrots when they go on a pleasure jaunt and put a thousand strains upon your affection for them until, at jast, they wear it out. People lose their friends by plain speaking. Who has not had a friend ‘who was ever the bearer of unwelcome news and who has used friendship as a defense from which to pour out the hot shot that riddled one’s vanity and slew one’s content with life? And still another that kills friendship is bossiness. Especially among women. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) Two-Strand Form of Necklace BY MARY MARSHALL. A friend of mine announced the other day that she had made a really worth-while discovery. upon th® idea of using old violin strings to restring her beads and she She had hit Reducing the Ankles. How to avoid thick ankles and how to reduce those which are already in that condition worries many of my readers. While it is quite true that a bulky, heavy ankle detract greatly from the beauty of one's figure, I am afraid that some of my younger readers cherish the illusion that an ankle is beautiful if it is thin. This is most certainly not the case. A thin, bony anklé is no more attractive than the one which is too bulky. In the case of the too thin ankle, it is usually neces- sary to put on a little more weight over the entire body. But today we are concerned with re- ducing the bulky ankle. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through kick- ing exercises.
