What Attracts
People to
' ' Us?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. '
"On the street where we live,"
writes a reader, "there is a woman
about 35 years old. She is comely,
a neat dresser, but poor. She pos
sesses the most wonderful pair of
brown eyes you ever saw. They are
like a fine piece of soft brown velvet.
Now what I want to know is how
she attracts people. "
"I see her every day, and I notice
people turn around and look after
her. AH the children in the block
run after her. They carry her
bundles; they hug and kiss her; the
policeman even goes out of his wy
to speak to her; the paperman, milk
man and iceman run out to say good
day to her. The other day mother
and I were in the butcher's and
when she left the clerk who waited
on her said to the other one: "Don't
you love her?" and the second one
answered, "It seems everyone loves
Mrs. S." "
"Please tell me, is it her ryes that
attract all this attention, or is it her
smile? We would love to know.
For who wouldn't like tp be loved
as she is?"
It isn't the woman's eyes which
attract, nor is it her smile. Mere
beauty or soft velvet orbs or a gen
tle smile couldn't be so universal in
their appeal. Tastes differ so strong
ly that not everyone in a block can
be expected to like brown eyes or to
admire a certain expression on a
face. The butcher an, the baker
might prefer gray eyes; the police
man might have a prejudice in favor
cf blue ones.
When anyone is, loved by every
one who crosses her path she must
have for. them a charm which goes
beyond the physical. That stands
to reason, because we all differ about
beauty and what constitutes it.
Beauty, moreover, makes enemies.
It has a force to repel as well as a
power to attract. This is due to the
sad and unideal fact that human be
ings are prone to jealousy.
So neither a pair of fine eyes nor
l sweet smile have the power to
win a neighborhood-.
What charms and wins everyone
who comes under its spell is the
character which informs eyes and
smile with beauty.
vIt's not because I'm an idealist
that I insist on "beauty of soul" and
its charm. Now and then one of my
readers calls me "old-fashioned" or
"an idealist" in a manner which
makes me fully aware T the fact
that I'm being bitterly condemned,
strongly criticized. But the weapon
misses its mark, 'for I'm compli
mented instead of insulted. That,
however, is one of those far-famed
-"other stories"
Only a very impractical rerson
would fail to realize that the surface
quality wins surface admiration. The
deep inner quality is what endures
and wins adherent after adherent.
As Abraham Lincoln is reputed to
have said to the eternal advantage
of those who like to quote adages ,
"You can fool some of the people
all of the time, and you can fool
all of the people some of the time,
but you cannot fool all of the people
. all of the time."
Whether Lincoln said that or not
we have to bow to the eternal truth
of the thought so simply put.
When a simply-dressed woman of
modest means is universally be
loved by the children, the trades
people and the authorities of her
neighborhood. She has won that
love. She is living close to the deal-
ers to whom her little account is f
probably less of an asset than her
gracious and triendly greeting ot
them. She isn't in a position to fool
them. She isn't in a position to be a
patron they find it wise to cultivate.
She is just a simple soul, to whom
they respond in friendly liking or
from whom they turn in indifference.
They've nothing to gain or lose by
winning her liking save only 'her
liking itself.
But the spirit which makes her
eyes so kind and soft and gentle
and yet so compelling must be a
beautiful thing a far more wonder
ful thing than the eyes which, are
its symbol and which it illuminates.
The nature wheh makes her eyes so
lovely is undoubtedly rare and fine
and exquisite. - " y
i When a woman attracts every
one with whom she comes in con
tact it must be because she is
worthy. Some of the people may be
lightly won yes. But everyone?
To do that requires merit, sweet
ness, gentleness, charm coming from
a radiant and uplifted soul and the
friendly, neighborly interest too
manyVf us are afraid to sbowj.
"To have a friend you must first
be one."
The woman who is loved and ad
mired and respected by pi! is a
woman who gives out kindness and
love and who wins them by want
ing them and by deserving them.

as usual over, an inverted pie plate,
pricking well before baking., so that
it will keep its shape. Just before
dessert is to be served, fill the shell
with the uncooked fruit and cover it
with heavy " cream whipped or

delicious pie. Instead 'of making
one large shell, it is a good idea
in a family with children to make

Umbrellas were a Chinese inven
tion, it is told. Their original forms
were flowered and edged v with' gor
geous 1 tassels. And only those of
royal birth were permitted to carry
them. In Burma the king and his
white elephants only were allowed to
employ the white umbrella, while
other shades were used by those of
high birth. The rank was defined
by the color of the umbrella; yellow,
gold, brown, red and green were the
dominating ranks.
We scent a subtle humor in the
superstitition that it is bad luck to
lend an umbrella and good luck to
borrow one.
The gift of an umbrella has the
superstition attached that it will pre
serve you from the machinations of
your enemies.
If your umbrella turns inside out
in a storm, it indicates a gift from
an unexpected source.
If it turns out and then swishes
back again, that is the sign of great
good luck. -
Break your parasol, fair lady, and
you will lose your sweetheart.
If you drop your umbrella have
some one pick it up. It is unlucky
for you to do it.
If you forget your umbrella you
will meet with a setback.
If the wind breaks your umbrella
in a storm you will receive money.
To put an umbrella up when the
tun is shining is a sign ot mis-
fortune.
To open an umbrella in the house
is a sign of bad luck or even death.
The one who takes an umbrella
everywhere is a cautious soul and
abstains from speculations and
saves money.
The one wjio loses ani umbrella is
unfortunate in money matters and in
clined to borrow, without ever re
turning it.

sings,
Under the twilight sky;
And her babies cuddle under he'i
wings,

But I hold you close in my arms,
dear heart,
And I sing you a little tune;
And I kiss your cheek, that is like a

Of the pinkest rose of June.
The mother bird sits in her sway

In the top of a tall old tree;
And her babies cuddle close to her

But, oh, little heart of me.
I hold you tight till your eyelids fall,
And I rock you in a comfy chair
And, dear, as the evening shadows
fall,
I whisper a little prayer.

The busy world of today pays homage to the motor car. -
Like other time and labor savers, it increases the productive efforts
of the human race, making possible the accomplishment of greater
tasks in a shorter period of time.
If you are contemplating the purchase of a motor car as an aid to
time'saving, we ask that you consider especially the fivepassenger
Paige Glenbrook. ' .
Here is a car which, in size, speed and power, is especially suited
to the everyday needs of business. And, in beauty, comfort and
mechanical excellence, it is quite the equal of higher priced cars.
When you see the Light Six Paige, you will be agreeably sur
prised, we believe, to realize that a car of such outstanding worth
may be had at such a moderate price. . ' 1
