Influence of
Good-Bad
Mirrors
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
This isn't my article at all. I set
it down and subscribe to it. But
every bit of the material, every idea
it contains was given to you and me
by a great author, who is also a
great editor and a poet as well and
a philosopher besides. So we can
afford to listen to him, can't we?
"I believe in kindly mirrors, flat
tering mirrors. I believe in letting
people see themselves as they long
to be, as they hope they are.
"The other evening I took a
splendid woman to ditnicr. She
confessed that she was tired from
a hard day's work and asked that
we dine at a certain restaurant. She
wouldn't give any reason, but when
we arrived she disappeared into the
dressing room for a time and on
rejoining me sne tairiy Deamea. iier
weariness naa vanisnea ana a certain
buoyancy had come to take its
place.
"It was tne mirror in tne aress-
cheers me up. It makes me look so
much better man i can possmiy uc
lieve I do look. Still I hope . . .
And rouse myself to reproduce the
image the mirror has managed to
reproduce.',
"Of course, the lighting of that
mirror must have been of such- sort
to bring out the best in her face.
No necessarily in all faces, but just
in that particular face. And from
the kindly reflection she got so much
cheer and inspiration that she forgot
her tiredness and nulled herself up
to an approximation of the happy
looking creature she had seen there.
"I got an idea from what she said.
Suddenly I remembered that the
mirror before which I practice my
shaving rites o' mornings (remember
this is the poet-philosopher-author-rditor
speaking) sends me back a
kindly reflection which sober judg
ment makes me realize is a much
improved edition of myself. That is,
I know it's nattering when I stop to
analyze. But who ever does stop
to analyze when he sees an amazing
ly idealized photograph of himself?
"No. ma'am, I don't figureout that
I couldn't possibly look as fine as
that. I just throw back my shoul
ders and think I'm not a bad. looking
old codoer and that it's a pretty fine
day, and I step out with a, high and
cheerful feeling.
"Aren't most of us like that?
Doesn't it make us feel pretty good
to think we're not so bad-looking or
so disagreeable? Don't we get a
lot of cheer and uplift out of seeing
ourselves reflected by kindly
glasses?
"That flattering mirror reinforces
nie starts me out 100 per cent io
meet the day. . . . Now, aren't
there folks who do that, toof
some one iooks at me as ir i
wire a saee and a philosopher in
stead of a rather dull old man, and
1 begin 1o think maybe I am almost
as good as he says. And I don't
want to disappoint him. And I go
digging for my best. I wouldn't
set less than that before him.
"Folks who reinforce us by kind
ly generosity of viewpoint like a
nnrror in a good light do us a
mighty good turn . .(. don't you
think so?" 1

must exit and let us finish

bubbles over all the time at San Diego, California,
because you can't help feeling it in a sunshine city built
around a great park, bordering a beautiful bay and look'

It's warm in winter and cool in summer. All the year
is Springtime to the 85,000 residents of this thriving,
modern city, where roses and geraniums, in January as

modest as he, and not all of us can
be trusted at large with his idea. For
the sweet and modest and gentle
souls this philosophy is absolutely
safe. If you're one of those you
don't need to read another word.
If not
It's dreadful to be one of those
swanky, conceited souls who fancy
that all they do is just as it should
be and that their appearance is the
best ever and that the rest of the
world ought to stop and admire.
It's only less dreadful (though a
lot more lovable) to be the sort of
timorous soul who fears that all
he does is wrong.
For such timorous souls, and for
most of us "regular fellows" in our
blue days and below-par moments,
the reinforcing mirror of kindly
criticism can do a lot.
Approval, encouragement, cheer
and good faith are what we need
to carry us along the way. To be
lieve in ourselves because of an en
couraging reflection of the person
ality we have to depend on defeats
doubt and discouragement.
None of us can arrange to go
about putting mirrors in kindly and
beneficent lights. But all of us can
manage to give back to people
images of themselves which will
send them on toward victory, in
stead of back toward defeat.
