Washington > Street EVERYDAY L I V I N G The Check Up A boy went into a drug store, got j change for a dime, and went into a i telephone booth. The door was left .ajar and the clerk overheard one 'side of the talk: j "Is this the firm 11 h a t advertised for a boy a few j ways ago?” "Oh, the job i has already been j filled, has it?” i "Does the boy | do his work to j suit you?” “There is no ! chance for me, then?” "Thank you, sir; good day!” "Tough luck that you missed out on the job,” said the clerk as the boy came out of the booth. "Don't fool yourself,” said the boy. "I landed the job three days ago. I'm just checking up.” A young man, fresh from college, went into the office of a business man In New York—a friend of his ; family—to talk about his life work. Suddenly the man turned to him and said: "Do you know, I really question i whether I have ever gotten any of this ‘happiness stuff’ they talk so much about. If it exists at all, I've never been able to hook it.” A famous preacher tells, in his autobiography, how he tried to read one of his cld sermons, but could not make a go of it. He tried anoth er, and it fell flat. Something was wrong. At last he discovered, to his sur prise, that his whole outlook had altered, like the shifting of a river bed, and his old sermons, well made and clearly written, had nothing to say to him. In a remarkable letter a woman tells me how she saved her marriage from wreck when it was on the rocks. She blamed her husband, but one day sat down and asked ser self some questions: "If his secretary left him, he would be panic-stricken; if he lost one or two of his men friends, he would be heart-broken. But if I went away—what would he miss? I’ve been a selfish parasite.” An honest, searching check-up is a healthy thing now and then, for all of us.

The order, which appears to be limited to this city, was issued aftei an unexpected descent upon the book departments of local depart ment stores. One large concern was found tc have upon its shelves works of the sort that figured in the big bon fires of 1933, or that have since been barred One of the tenets of national so cialism is to do away with depart ment stores as quickly as possible. The "national” soups are Prance'.' j poUti-feu and petite marmite, l‘a iy's minestrone, Russia s borcuh I Hollands erwlensoep aud Spain's puchero. Thorn trees, aloes and euphor bias are common in the South Afri can veld. Frivilous And Extravagant Gifts Please Women Most When you're giving a Christmas l remembrance to a girl it s wise to ! remember that she'll be flattered and delighted beyond measure by something a bit on the frivilous and extravagant side. To be sure, she j will give you sage advice about practical gifts being what she most wants. And she’ll mean it, too — a little. But that doesn't mean she won’t be simply overjoyed at your thoughtfulness and fond expression of sentiment if you present her with something luxurious that she’ll dearly love, but would have hesi tated to buy for herself. Intimate Gifts Prominent among the luxuries which she is sure to covet are love ly Intimate gifts. We might well be i a country of harems, so fascinating I are the negligees and other inti ; mate apparel whic, are offered this 1 Christmas as gift suggestions. Alluring footwear to complement j the hostess gown or negligee is an : other suggestion for a gift which any girl will appreciate. Mules are definitely in this season's new mood of elegance, and their rich mate rials include gorgeous broadcades and velvets, many with gold or sil ver kid, feathers, or fur interlin ing accents. Gala Gifts of Jewelry The gift of sentiment has so often been Jewelry that it hr* be«|ne the traditional present of affection at Christmas time. This, too, is a win ter when costume jewelry is really demanded by the new frocks. Heavy metallic styles are exceeding chic. Some of the gold and silver neck laces, clips, and ear-rings are quite barbaric in design, but the very epitome of sophistication. Rhine stone and simulated pearls in de signs of gracious charm are great favorites this season. A choker of real crystal makes a glamorous yet reasonably priced present. And semi-precious stones—boast unique ly lovely settings, often in hand wrought sterling silver. With prosperity well on the up turn, it’s the surprise that people are beginning to invest their money in precious gems again. Perfumes a Luxury Gift Haven’t you noticed how per fume-conscious and very knowing women have become of late about scents? French women have long understood the art of choosing exactly the right perfume to ex press their individualities and to lend precisely the right atmosphere to every occasion. And now Amer ican girls seem no less elegant in their sophisticated Judgment of fragrances. You’ll please any girl tremendously, if you’re wise enough to choose a lovely perfume for her Christmas present. Bath luxuries, too, come in for their share of attention where smart Christmas gifts arc concerned Bath oils are appreciated by every one and the variety of pine, floray, and bouquet scents is infinite. Body rubs and stimulating colognes have be come rivals of the lovely dusting powders. Surely she has a suit to which she’s particularly attached: and how she will love some unusually dis tinctive blouse, one of the sort that is so lovely ghe probably wouldn’t squander the money on it herself! This is such a great suit year that the designers of blouses have seem ingly concentrated on making blouses as distinctive as possible. That makes it all the easier for you to find one that is utterly charming and unusual. Perhaps this is a Christinas whtoh you wish to make a particularly memorable one. which she will al ways remember as the holiday of all holidays, A fur coat is the truest luxury gift, and the answer, of course, to her fondest wish. If it's to be a precious fur, there’s nothing more magnificent than mink far all-around wear. A wise investment, too, now that fur prices are rising so swiftly! Ermine evening wraps are of incomparable beauty and certainly one of the most romantic of luxury gifts. But you wouldn't spend a fortune on a fur coat. One of the moderately priced ones will give her the utmost joy. Every one knows that no woman ever has enough stockings, and that good stockings can be found at practically any price that you want to pay. Sheer beauties for evening wear are always a delight —and the studied weaves are Just what every girl is hoping for her street and sports costumes. Gloves, too, would be on every woman's list of gifts wanted if she still wrote letters to Santa Claus. CROWNS SOAR HIGH ON NEW ‘MEXICAN’ HATS PARIS. — (>P» — New “Mexican” hats in Paris are being made in black felt, with wide slightly rolled up brims, and towering crowns smaller at the top than at the base. Guiltless of other trimming, tlrfey look “perfectly swell” with a lace bordered veil draped nonchalantly down front or back. Tall persons look best in these “tomali land” types. STAINLESS now, if you prefer TALK TO PARENTS The I. Q. Danger By BROOKE TETEBS CHURCH "Susie has the highest I. Q. in her class." Susie preened herself as if she had accomplished a feat. She knew that she stood at the moment way below the middle of her class. Ever since she had heard how Villiant she was, she had been do ing poor porwk. To expert herself in a class of dumbbells hardly seemed worth while. With such a brain as hers, she could always get by without effort. It is generally a great mistake to tell a child what his intelligence quotient is. If he is told, he should also be informed what the rating l means. Hundreds of children idle j j through school smugly relying on J the superior intelligence proved by : their psychological tests. Frequent- J ly they accomplish less in life than I their less gifted fellows. No one con take credit to him self for a high I. Q. He has no mora to do with it than with thp color of his eyes and hair. He was born that way. Having been given a su perior mentality, he is obliged to use it well and develop it to its fullest extent. Few people having beautiful hair or hands or figures, sit back and neglect them. Beauti ful hair must be tended if it is to remain beautiful, hands must bo care for. figures kept trim. Brains are fundamentally the same. No matter how high the I. Q.. if it is not equalled by the record of achievement, it is wasted. The brilliant child owes some thing to the world. He has it in his power to do great things, and this power should be held before him as an ideal. He is like the man in the parable of the talents. The 10 talents are his portion, and unless he makes them work and produce i more, he is worse oft in the end j than if he had none. At Your Best!
