EAR JANE JORDAN—I am a man of 25 with two much vision to receive an income to help me get a start in life and not enough to get a good job. I feel that I could do a lot of work if I could just get a break. My ambition is

to be a musician and composer.

I have had about six

years training but I need more. I have at present one popular song with melody and uke accompaniment but I can’t get words or

harmony to fit iti but still I fail.

I have the thought that inspired me to write it

I have been working on a farm for as little as a dollar a week

and I am demanding a raise this year or I don’t work there.

There

are four in our family but I am the only one living at home. We own

our home and at present mother is financing me. I applied for relief and received some.

too.

I hate the idea, The woman I work for

went to relief headquarters and claimed I didn’t want to work; so

I decided not to bother them any

more,

What I want to do is get a job so I can make something out of

myself.

of advice, for I am just wasting my life away.

I hope you will consider my letter and give me some kind

STUMPED.

ANSWER—I don’t know what you mean when you say you have : too much vision to receive an income and not enough to get a job. The statement suggests that you have your head in the clouds, so to speak, and that you haven't yet come to grips with reality. One of the most common causes for failure in life is the tendency of unadjusted individuals to live in| dreams instead of grappling with facts. The woman you work for said that you didn't want to work. Isn’t this because you spend so much time in reveries during your working

hours that you get little or nothing

done? Often a person who appears

to be lazy is really as busy as a bee in his own thoughts. It is simply that his energies are expended in dreaming of what he would like to - do instead of concentration on the task at hand. Your real interest is in music but you haven't the means to pursue

it or the training to make it earn y

our living. The solution is to find

yourself a good routine job and discipline yourself to the point where you can perform .it well without dreaming on your employer's time. Then you can make music an avocation and practice to your heart's content in the evening. Who knows -but what in time it might be-

come a vocation?

I cannot find a job for you, but you will be more successful in

finding one for yourself if you control your reveries.

dream life crowds out reality you

As long as your

will be a misfit. If a routine job

is what you need, you must come out of the clouds and get one. Everybody dreams to some extent but most people drop their pleasing fantasies when the necessity for action calls them back to earth.

JANE JORDAN.

Solution to Previous Problem By WILLIAM E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary ITH two sure trump tricks, an ace-queen combination in a side suit, and other strength, West's

double of four spades was natural enough. But he later found to his

oped, because he was caught in an

end play which forced him to make |

the lead that gave the declarer his contract. Today's hand was played by Dr. Bernard Goldman at a recent duplicate game in New York, and he played each trick in a rather difficult hand flawlessly. Of course, West thought that his partner could take at least one trick in view of the vulnerable overcall, which was, as it happened, based on distribution, not top cards.

On his last club, he discarded the diamond 10. West was caught. He, too, discarded a diamond, but dummy’s last trump was led, putting West into the lead. At the end, West was forced to lead away from his diamond tenace to give the declarer his contract. The double helped, as many doubles do, in locating cards for the declarer.

Provides Worthwhile Tips

By MARJORIE BINFORD WOODS

When Home Show experts get their heads together to design and decorate a model house there are certain to be dozens of ideas worth borrowing. : Decorators did themselves proud when they selected a subtle shade of Williamsburg-blue textured wallpaper for three walls of the living room in this year’s model home. An unexpected and picturesque effect is gained by the pine stained paneling on the fireplace side of the room. Woodwork and ceiling are in oyster white made by mixing oyster-gray with white paint. “The period of the room 1s 18th century with Chippendale, Duncan Phyfe and Sheraton furnishings of individual taste.

Love Seats Face-to-Face

The inviting cozy corner, pictured above (upper), is formed by placing two love seats face-to-face In front of spacious windows. Upholstery fabric is of Williamsburg-blue blocked linen splashed with rose and green flowers. ¢ Criss-cross glass curtains appear | again. Fashioned of sheer Bedford | net they form a fitting background | for the subtle Liberty print chintz | of the draperies. Peonies of various shades bloom in profusion on the |. fabric, which is bound with grass= | green wool fringe. White Venetian. blinds add a finishing touch to the beauty and charm of the window arrangement.

Blond Wood Used

Blond wood is the keynote of the modern decorative scheme for breakfast nooks (lower).. The oval table and matching chairs with red lacquer leather seats are set off effectively by the window in the background. Rose-toned cellophane curtains edged with black braid are pinch pleated and may be closed or opened. Sidewalls are papered with a design of gray and black Japanese sailboats between rows of white and orange bamboo shoots; all on a jade green background. The ceiling is lacquer orange-textured wallpaper. Cupboards lining the wall are enamelled to match the interior. Inlaid linoleum is. blond with a red emblem in the center.

Background Of Pride Is

Necessary

Praise and Encouragement Held Necessary To Child.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

It is so very necessary to give a boy or girl a background of pride, that it might be interesting to take the whole matter of “pride” apart today and look it over. Born with each of us is something that no one else possesses.

as we live, no matter how someone loves us, there won't be a single soul who will know how we feel, what we are thinking of, what we are inside ourselves. We call it consciousness. The first instinct of a baby, and the last we take to our graves, is pride, the feeling that we are important to the scheme of things. It suffers many a blow on the way, but the germ is always there. All inferiority is injured pride. Loss of confidence is merely pride that has had a few knockouts, from which it has never recovered. Fear of failure is pride again, afraid to risk another fall. Does it not seem he nis is the most vulnerable spot of all? :

Seek Refuge in Possessions

Many people poultice the hurts and disappointments by indulging in possessions. The boy who can’t hold his place with his friends may depend too much on the glory of a new bicycle, or the girl on fine clothes, to give them importance. Ambition of the worldly type, especially money acquisitiveness in adults, has behind it, as often as not, the motive of some early hurt to personality, that finds relief in gain. None of these things brings real happiness or mental content, material possessions being merely a drug in this case to bolster up pride. Not always so, of course, for we are born with the acquisitive complex, too, and it needs some satisfying, but this can become an obsession. So what are the real bolsters to natural self-pride? First, good appearance and clean, surroundings. No self esteem ever grew out of opposite conditions.

Encouragement Is Vital

Second, the glow that comes from doing well. The child who does a little task as well as he knows how, and gets a word of approval for it,

adds one more star to his account. But here lies a secret. He must know that it is his best, before he will quite swallow praise. Every real help to pride must spring from some root of “self.” That is why it is so necessary to encourage a child, not only to get his lessons as well as he can, but to do dozens of little things outside of school life. His pride needs it. But he must have praise, too. Third, he must be allowed to exploit his prowess along the line of his natural tendencies, enough to give outlet to his preferences. Suppression, always dangerous if carried to extremes, is the natural enemy of self-confidence and pride. Let the child shine brightly in some particular field, no matter how simple it may be. Let him know he is good. Natural pride grows with proper encouragement and does not depend upon false gods to endow it.

There was only one way to make their dream home come true, and that was to equip it electrically. Noth. ing else would afford such economy. Nothing else would save so much labor, time and worry.
