Two Minutes of Optimism
By HERMAN J. STIC1I
Read the Paper Regularly
THERE was once a sorely bedeviled editor who dreamed that he sat on a
high tower with X-ray sp glasses of infinito power, observing the events of
his city and the rest of the world, and dictating them into a machine which
wrote4hem on n moving-picture camera projector.
From this machine they were shot at a moving web of sensitized paper on
which the text was developed by light and chemical fumes, so that a finished
newspaper was thrown into automatic delivery wagons without the intervention
of reporters, printers, pressmen or delivery men !
Modern enterprise has not yet placed newspaper production upon such an
efficient scale, but it still puts out a mlulaturc encyclopedia of current events,
n constantly, shifting panorama of the world's happenings and achievements,
a liberal educator, humanlzer, democratizer and clvilizer of mankind which the
most modest of us can procure for less than the price of a shoe string!
Time and distance are annihilated, life after life is imperiled, millions in
moneys are expended that every avenue of doing may be ferreted out, digested
and presented so the worl'd may In a twinkling enjoy the latest tidings.
And the man who is too penny-wise or too short-visioned to take"full advan
tage .of this common luxury is more or less elo6c kin to an ingrowing toe nail.
The news of the day is the epic of the century.
Today nothing stands still.
Everything is continually changing, progressing, moving, marching on.
Art, science, religion, ethics, athletics, health, history, industry, literature
all the world's human, artistic and mechanical activities are in the throes of
evolution. ,
And all are continuously under the penetrating gaze of the newspaper, the
myriad-ejed enlightencr that keeps us vividly conscious of what is happening
and what the world is thinking about, and that enables us really to be more
alive because wc can keep our i fingers on the pulse of nearly everything that
tends to shape the world's destiny.
Read the paper regularly.
The man who does not read the paper regularly every day rapidly
becomes a back number.
He drops out of things.
He isn't in it.
It is as if he had moved to Zanzibar or done the Robinson Cnfcoe stunt.
And he puts himself out of the running.

THE UNWELCOME WIFE

When Tony Harriman married
Charlotte Graves, a (mple. inexperi
enced country girl he did not irppre
date how Chatlatlc would seen, when
hr had taken her out of her country
setting. In the city she somehow did
not fit in at nil, and Tony l.nd io
trouble in understanding that his
mother did not arpruue.
her, slowly withdrawing her fingere from
the touch of that soft, childish hand
with undue haste.
'Don't
Their PnU Wore Short
'Dear Cynthia The other dayI gave a
party. I asked the girls to bring their
friends ahVhirT Everything went along
nicely until one girl came In with three
boys with short pants (girls age seven
teen to twenty). The girls felt very bad
about It But as I was hostess 1 enter
talned all. But one of the girls told the
girl that brought the three boys to tell
them -to go home. She did so, without
asking my permission. Did shoao
right I felt very bad. I. C.
Sines the girl brought these boys they
should not have been asked to leave
Perhaps they wero seventeen. Some
small boys do not don long trousers
till that age. It seems to me that the
girls were all very rude to these boys,
Including the one who brought them.
8he' From the Weit
Dear Cynthia Would you please pub
lish the following reply to "Four Lone
some Young Men" who aro attending
,the University. I too am lonesome, and
from the west, and know Just how It
feels to be lonesome.
I read your letter td Cynthia slating
that you wero from the west and lone
some. It made mo feel as though I
were not so much nlono after all, to
know that there were four young men In
Philadelphia who were lonesome and
from the west I believe the latter rea
son Is what Interested me most I am
from the) west too and my heart cer
tainly goes out to any one from here.
As well as you boys, I have always
had the very nicest associates and
friends at home, but hero I do not know
any young folks nnd know of no wav to
meet nny. I nni twenty years old.
I am visiting my father, but of course
his associates are all older people.
I certainly would enjoy on, answer
from you all.
AVIS FROM THE WEST.
Vour father's own friends may be old
er, but they surely have younger friends
to whom they can Introduce you. Ask
them to do so, if they have not already.
Good Advice to "Shorty"
Dear Cynthia I promise not to bother
you with a long poem this time, but
may I have permission to speak to
"Unhappy Shorty"? I thank you.
I'm Just a tall girl. Shorty, but I sup
pose your letter applies to girls as well
ns women. I am five feet eight Inches
tall and weigh 120 pounds. Thereforo I
have pretty far to go to Vet to 200.
T mn.t hop tn differ with VOU In VOUr
statement that tall women always pick
on short men for husbands. Do not

not love little men. In the second place,
It Is the man who proposes marriage,
thereforo It s his own fault If he

"I simply carry a little advertise

'stating that I will care for children In

how to be fascinating, to use subtle
means to hold Tonys Interest. Her Ideas
of marriage were simple, a woman mar

white towels and the scent of expensive

SUB was watching with an amused
smile while her mother retrlmmed
last year's best hat to be used as this
year's everyday hat.
But she didn't Interrupt or correct
or suggest until the .trimming was all
pinned in place, nnd her mother placed
the hat triumnhanttr on her head.
"There 1" she cried. "How docs It
look?" ,
.Then daughter's smile changed to ono
of gentle tolerance.
"But, Mother I" sue reproved jnaui-'
gently. "It's so old-fashioned. Here,
let me fix it."
And then, ripping off all the carefully
pinned trimmings, sne picKca up an or
nament nnK nf a. box of mllllnerv dls
cord, gave it a quick twist or two,
pin.ned it in place and held .up the hat.
"There," she said, complacently
"That's something like!"
"Well." surrendered Mother. d6ubt-
fully. "I suppose you know but it
looks very plain and severe to me."
UP TO a certain point It'er mother
tvhn frnnwM.
She plans pretty dresses and the right
kind of hats for her little girl. She
nicks out suitable cents and sensible
shoes.
As time goes on she consults daugh
ter: "Would you like this kind of a
dress for school?"
And after while the consultation takes
this form: "Mother. Emma has the
best-looking suit; couldn't I have a suit.
Mother? fvc been wearing dresses and
long coats for so long please, mother I"
Very soon after that It resolves Into
the "I'm going to have a brown sport
suit this year, and then I can wear
that brown hat I had last winter every
day, and get. a little velvet for better
times," which marks tho end of
Mother's regime in the clothes kingdom.
From that time on mother doesn't
appear very prominently In the selec
tion of daughter's clothes.
Sometimes she remarks feebly, "Oh,
Jessie, are the girls wearing hata like
that? It looks so wild?"
. And again she declares.) mora strong,
lyt "You cannot go out on the itmt
with me la that skirt until-you let I?
dowd and put more material into it, I
don't know why the young people of
today have to dress in such a ridiculous
way."

"Invitations1 for -a1 party? Why

THE WOMAN'S EXCHANGE
collars ns dainty and attractlvo as you
wmilrl find In mnnv 11 cIav'n walk are ns
ow as $1.85 And $2.10, and I have seen
collar anu cuff sets or trisn mce tor con
siderably under $10. Actually it is a
danccrous thins to go to that shop.
for you stop with the express purpose
of buying one collar, and before you
know it, if yuu are at all fond Of pret
ty, neckwear, you have made several
purchases. I should like to have you
stop In the next time you arc In town
to shop. ,
If your favorite perfume comes in a
red box more I cannot tell you until
jou phone me I know where you can
get a lovely box, including three arti
cles of the same scent. This box iu
rinded a nice fat box of powder. Then
In another corner is a nice cake of soap,
of the same perfume. And then over
In another corner Is a bottle of the toilet
wnter. The whole box. with its fasci
nating contents, Is only $2, nlthough I
n nulte sure that bought separately
the articles would amount to consid
eisbly more than that.
For names of Shnn. address Woman'

To "Dummy"
You will havo no, difficulty In arettlnc
acquainted at this party. Your mask
mnkes you as well known as anybody
there, and you can enter Into the fun
as one of'tho rest of them. There, will
be a signal for tho general unmnsltlng.
Wear your costume In place of an eve
ning dress nnd keep It on all evening.
Kissing games arc not always played.
They should nevor be played. Dress as
Joan of Aro and let your hair hang.
To "Norn do Plume"
You might wear a medieval costumo
consisting of a lona-walstcd dress with
sleeves puffed out below the elbow, a
long rope glrdlo and n. peaked hat that
extends back Instead of un, with, a veil
attached to the under side of It A
hnrem Costume, with a long girdle, looso
blouso nnd veil over the lower part of
tl)o face, , will mako you look more
slender.
Tho o'nty way you can learn to dance
Is by dancing. Always accept evory In
vitation vou !- nnd don't worrv about
"getting Invited." It will only make
you selr-concclous. wncn you dance
with girls make them lead you, so that
nu will get Into the habli of being led
easily.
i Birthday Plana
'To the SiHar 0 Woman' Pag: " .
Dear Madam The second of January
Is my birthday and I hope to havo a
number of friends with me on that day
Would- It be proper for me to send out
Invitations myself? I do "not, want them
to feel they are under any ob Igatlon. So
how should they read? PleaA suggest
something Informal und friendly. Also
w;ould the hours from 1 o'clock to B
o'clock be suitable?. What should V
Place In small rose baskets and what
small Inexpensive favors could I use?
What way could I serve oysters without
srendlng much time aWay'from mv
guests? I uynt to have; Ico cream, cakes,
nuts, frutfand candy also. What hour

much liberty to Invite her on this occa
sion? b. p jj
You should send out the Invitations to
your party yourself. If It Is not to be a
very larsre affair, merelv writ , .....
tfrlend and tell her'you are entertalnlns
. ..... ww.p um mu uiLcmoon ot Jan
uary 2 and would like very much If shu
would be pno of them. If you wish your
guesta to come In the afternoon, and
not to luncheon, 1 o'clock Is rather early.
Are you speaking of the small rose
baskets made of crepe paper? If so, you
cdUld use these 'as fivors. fjlled"wlth a
little candy. If you wish to havo oysters
you could serve them In almost any way,
for If they were prepared In the morn
ng all you would havo to do would be
to heat them. You can have fried oys
ters dr creamed ones. Either of these
would bo very nice. Serve a roll with
each portion. Have your refreshments
about 4:30 o'clock.
Why not arrange to have your hus.
.band's cousin .at your, house.ome eve
ning before your party? You could then
become acquainted, and It wold ba very
easy to Invite her after this.

CLEAN BEFORE STORING
OVER SEASON
If we gave our clothes half the thought
at the end of the season that they get
at the beginning, they would greet us
with a smile, instead of a wrinkled and
worn visage. , If you expect to wear
those suits next spring let us clean
them now.

There's one thing certain when you see
somebody take down a package of Tetley's
fragrant, delicious Orange Pekoe, you can
count on a steaming cup of amber-colored
tea that'll cheer you up and warm you
through and through! '
"TETLEY'S TEA
Makes Good Tea a Certainty
It stands to reason, if
you'd been blending tea for
over 100 years, as we have,
you'd know a thing or two
about it, too!
