There is -o much in liking the
work you do that, even if offered
more money at something I did
not like, think ' would stick with
the thing that appealed to me more.
And * would be thinking of my own
success in doing that. For, when
we are working on things we like,
we can put in more extra hours,
we take more extra pains, ve can
do a better job. Doing the things
we like, we tire less easily. We
are inspired toward finding better
ways, and we are able to contribute
so much more than we may be
actually paid for at the moment
that advancement cannot fail to
be rapid.

T 'lM F is so short, so swift in pass-
ing, we should never be at loss
for how 'o use it. The question
should not be “How can 1 kill this
evening?” but rather “Do I need
to take this valuable time for fun,
or is there something important I
can do with it’ ”
Consider the life of Henry Ford.
He was born on a farm near Dear
born, Mich., in 1863. Thi oldest of
five children, Henry helped his fa
ther with the plowing, shucked corn,
mowed hay, cut grain, dug pota
toes, and milked cows. Time nev
er hung heavily on his hands. Me
chanically inclined, he rigged up a
small machine shop on the farm
and repaired watches at night for
the village jeweler. After' finishing
the local public schools, the farmer
boy left for the city to seek his for

Dad’s Birthday Party
Raises Note Problem
T~\ EAR Mrs. Post; Will you please
write a form of invitation foi
us under the following circum
stances? I am one of four children,
only one of us married, who wanf
tri give a party in honor of my fa
ther’s birthday, although I suppose
it would be better not to mention
the occasion. We would like to write
the invitations by hand on small
sized note paper stamped with our
house address. While we are ask
ing at least 75 people we want the
invitation to sound as friendly and
informal as possible.
Answer: I would suggest that each
one of you write notes to your own
personal friends, and that whoever
has most time and perhaps neatest
handwriting also write those to your
father’s friends and relatives, fol
lowing this
general
wording:
“Mary, Jim, Bob and I are having
a party for father, on Sunday after
United States marines shown opening the ponderous gate of the U. S. legation in Peiping, China. Under
noon, January 31st. Won’t you come
in between four and six o’clock?” the protection of the marines, American citizens find a safe haven as war rages between the Chinese troops
As you notice, I have left the birth and the invading forces of Japan. Inset shows Col. John Marston, commander of the U. S. marine bar
day out, but this does not mean racks at Peiping.
that I think it improper to write,
“Mary, Jim, Bob and I are having a
MISS PARIS, 1937
birthday party for father . . . ”

because those who know him very
well and know it is his birthday will
probably bring him a present, and
this might make others who are
very fond of him and would have
liked to remember his birthday feel
that they have come empty-handed.
On the other hand, in going to a
birthday party of any size no one
should feel obliged to take a pres
ent.

Are Parents Obligated
(or Children’s Visits?
TA EAR Mrs. Post: What is my po-
sition regarding the parents of
friends of my daughter? She is at
college far away and goes home
frequently with the girls whose
homes are closer to the school. She
sometimes mentions in her letters
home that these girls’ parents are
going to New York on a holiday,
and as we live in the environs of
New York I’m wondering whether it
is expected that we extend some
kind of hospitality to the parents at
such times.
Answer: Your real obligation is in
encouraging her to invite these girls
home with her when they have
longer recesses or perhaps to let
her ask them to come between
school terms when they can stay
longer. But why don’t you ask her
whether she wants you to show par
ticular hospitality to the parents she
knows especially well, and what she
suggests. She knows what type of
people they are and whether they
have friends in New York, or on
the other hand, whether they are
going as strangers or whether the
mothers are likely to be alone while
their husbands attend to business,
or just what the individual situa
tions are.

A world’s record for scythe cutting was set recently by three Aus
trian farmers who mowed an area of 14 square yards in one minute in
a contest between land workers of Zwettl and Edelhof Agricultural col
lege in Lower Austria. Left to right are seen Ignaz Hersch, Rupert Hahn
and Karl Pemmer of Rudmann, Austria.
Only seventeen years of age, with
curly blonde hair and a naive smile,
Lily Lamb, who has been desig
nated “Miss Paris, 1937,” shows a
divergent trend from the frail
beauty of former winners. Miss
Lamb was elected as beauty queen
at the Casino of Troubille from a
multitude of candidates at the Paris
International exposition.

fortune he received was $2.50 per
week. When he was twenty-four
he returned to the farm and ran a
sawmill, experimenting in his spare
time with a steam car. There was
never a question in his mind about
what to do with time.
His father was not in sympathy
with Henry Ford's experiments, so
he again wen' to Detroit, and
worked for a power and light com
pany at ah engineer on the night
shift. During the seven years that
he was there he became general
manager; and night after night, at
home, he worked lar into the morn
ing hours in developing s gasoline
motor car. Success came from his
experiments at last, and in order
to popularize the new vehicle, Hen
ry Ford built racing cars and drove
them himself in race after race.
You know where Henry Ford stands
today.
His life is the story of time well
used. It is an example worth re
membering the next time you are
wondering “how to kill time.”

FA EAR Mrs. Post: A .ian 1 know
’ f spent a week-end at my mar
ried brother’s house. My sister-in-
law had let me ask him so that my
visit would be more plevsant. She
and my brother certainly put them
selves out to entertain us. I feel
that the least my friend can do is
write her a note, which I happen
to know be hasn’t done. Is there a
way I could remind him to write
her, because his thoughtlessness
certainly puts me in a bad light?
Answer: I can think of nothing
else to do except say to him, “I
hate to ask you to write another
one, but my sister-in-law never got
your letter.” Then he will probably
say, “What letter?” and you an
swer, “Why, didn’t you write and
say anything for that pleasant week
end we had?” And that is that!

B u tter B alls R em ain
EAR Mrs. Post: Has the vogue
for “ butter balls” gone out?
Several years ago it seemed that
every hostess served fancy designs
of individual butter portions but to
day I never see them anywhere.
Answer: No, 1 think butter balls
are still seen in many houses al
though it is true that in quite as
many others butter is simply cut
neatly into squares. The reason is
probably that of time saving since
very few of us have as many serv
ants as we used to. One might, in
fact, say that comparatively few
have any.

B e tte r L ate Than N ever
r \ EAR Mrs. Post: Is one sup-
1
posed to be able to hold over
social obligations from one season
to the next? I should have enter
tained several new friends last
spring but had no money to give a
party of any kind then. I’m wonder
ing if now, which is the first it has
been possible, would be considered
too late to repay these kindnesses?
Answer: Not at all. There is no
time limit on any return you want
to make. After all, there are so
many reasons why we may not be
able to do what we want to when
we want to.
