Some Can’t Bear Others’ Success Br BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Have you ever tried keeping the corners of your mouth turn ed up all day as you go about town meeting this person or that? You will see an astoninshing lot ct radiant smiles in a few hours, if you’re first with a smile on your face. There is something about cheerfulness that is catching. And something about mannerliness and courtesy that is communi cated to others. If you jump all over someone, what happens? In self-defense they proceed to jump onto you in return. And they probably never have much use for you again. Often one meets a person w'io has nothing but good to say of others and it usually turns out that the person who does not continually pick someone else to pieces is a pretty likeable per son in their own right. There are people who nev\ r can stand the success of others. If someone else gets a new dress, hair-do, or friend, or a new car, buys a place or builds a house, the “tear-downer” has nothing but unkind things to say. Let an accomplishment or an honor come their way and they have nothing good to say either. One of the best tests of be:ng a well balanced and likeable person is being able to be genu inely happy for the possessions, accomplishments and successes which come to other people. — tfw — "Inman Reader" Wins Subscription— Dear Mrs. Pease: It’s time to send you a few reci pes and I will try to win the three-months’ subscription to The Frontier.
