The majority of answers for the girl who is smart rather than pretty was overwhelming. “Not too freakish,” was an added reminder, and a few men assured us that they were never satisfied unless the woman of their choice was both pretty and smart.

order, almost over night, he learned that. No one could take & step in the direction of the kitchen without his jumping about like a {lea and saying in pup language, “I want my candy.” He got to be a nuisance. He slid through the swing door every time eny one went near the kitchen. He tore our stockings and yelped his

Lis stomach and his appetite. He had goodies enough, dear knows. But pups are like little children. Greedy and forever hungry. Always looking for handouts. A few times, just for peace, we humored him, And then I said, “The first person who feeds that dog out of turn can just get out. He has to be trained like a gentleman. He has to learn that his dish means meal time. And he has to learh to let us alone when we go to the kitchen.” I took it on myself to teach him. Now he doesn’t pester us any more. He knows that we feed him when it is time.

Life Is Not All “Getting”

I am not speaking particularly about food, but about capitulating to the demands of the child about anything. By association of ideas he has learned to connect a walk or shopping trip with a hand-out of some sort. We do it ourselves, by beginning a habit. As he grows older he must be able to take it or do without, as you like. One day he may be given something, and the next nothing, He must be taught restraint, and at the same time appreciation of what comes his way when the getting is good. But whether candy, a boat, a movie or a bag of peanuts, he must learn not to whine when they are not forthcoming. The “whole idea of sometimes get, sometimes not, is a grand one. It is life all over. Then

he won't learn to be a sulker. (Copyright, 1936, NBA Service, Inc.)

But when she comes to New York soon on a long-projected tour, Americans will find Margaret Thomas, the Viscountess Rhondda, a born democrat and good sport, too. “How do you get that way?” I wanted to know. “Meaning?” she countered. “Well, you with a title and all that money. Going on form, your interests should all lie with the Tory, the die-hard, the pro-Fascist eles ments. And you are not even in the center. You veer well toward the left.” Her Explanation

“You forget,” replied Lady Rhondda, “that I was reared in a home whose head was a great liberal, a convinced, active and prominent member of the liberal party when it was a real power. I never became a liberal. I only remained a liberal. “It seems to me simply a process of trying to keep sane in a world muth of which has gone mad.
