We, the Women The Tact Test Reveals Your Likableness

By RUTH MILLETT

ONE WAY of finding out whether or not people like you as well as you hope they do is to test your tact. Try it—and see how you come oul. Do you say to the mother whose son is about to be married, “I hear you're going to lose your son”? Do you say to anyone, “You don’t look as ¢. though you feel i: very well”? Do you say to a friend, “You're certainly looking better than when I last saw you. You looked so bad then I was really worried about

Miss Millett

over now, all right”? Do you say to the mother whose son has just gone to army camp, “Isn't it a shame he had to go?” Do you say to the mother whose child is just starting to school, “Well, you've lost your baby. He'll never be completely yours again”? Do you say to the person who has received an honor or a promotion, “I don’t suppose you'll have much time for your old friends anymore”? » = 8 DO YOU SAY to the woman who is showing you her new coat, “Jane Brown has one very much like it"? Do you say to the mother whose young son is oh the high school football team, “Don’t you worry about him a lot?” Do you say to a bride, “Husbands are all alike”? Do you say—when there is a school teacher in the crowd—* we'll have to behave ourselves, with a teacher present”? If you have to answer “Yes” to any one of those questions you aren't as tactful as you should be. And if you answer “Yes” to more than one, there probably aren’t many people who feel better after talking to you than they did before.

Urge Husband To Improve His Grooming

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer

INDUCING masculine members of the home to adopt new grooming routines is a ticklish problem—but it’s not insoluable. It just takes tact and perseverence. A good way to Begin would be to nt each man in your family with a set of toilet preparations at Christmas, The stores are filled with emphatically for-men packages containing the things a man’s bath needs—very virile-fragranced aftershaving lotion and talc as well as soap. This is a perfectly innocuous beauty present, and no man will think it sissy. Men cannot talk about “beauty.” But I suspect they appreciate a refreshing odor more than many would admit—their good shaving creams ‘are certainly tempting, freshly perfumed. Once the head of the house—not to mention your sons—start using after-shaving lotion and tale, you can make a suggestion or two about scalp tonic.

A WEEKLY shampoo is one thing, but wetting the hair every time it's combed is quite another. It dries hair and scalp, is likely to contribute to dandruff. So try to get your husband to substitute scalp tonic, massaging

3 it in briskly before combing. It will decrease the

prosjject of his losing his hair eventually, too. Put a bottle of tonic right next to the face lotion, and you may find he'll use it. If he doesn’t you can make your little speech—but carefully—about care of the hair. Maybe you can t out the facts as interesting formation, and hell take the hint. Maybe you'd better not, for some men are exceedingly irked by such feminine indirection, especially when the object is his behavior. If that’s his disposition, don’t beat around the bush. You can't do much to encourage anyone to use a deodorant or antiperspirant regularly, except, of course, leaving a jar of it in his medicine cabinet, or at least on his shelf in the medicine cabinet— and, by the way, do see that he has his own clear space for toiletries, uncluttered by your and the family If you're about the deodorant, you can explain simply what it is, why you use it, and believe every person, man or woman, ought to use it regularly.
