A popular saying has it that, "If you don't look out for your self , no one will look out for you." "This Implies that a person should consid er h i m s e 1 f first, last and always if he '.wants to get ahead in . the world. . 'C.. ; There is no JtstTltm if-fiiii ; question , that Or. Huxlock , the successful person thinks of others in terms of himself. When he does things for others he thinks, either di rectly or indirectly, of how it will help him. "'. This jdoes not necessarily mean that he expects others to A. . . J 1 m - - return tne iavor at once or in the same degree. However he does hot do favors if lie feels his efforts are unappreciated or that he is simply being used for, an other's convenience. un tne otner nana, the suc cessful person is not selfish. His concentration on himself is not so great that he cannot think of others; too. When he thinks of others, however, it is in relation to himself. While' that is not self ishness,, it is a long way from complete selflessness. : Good Opinion of Self : s.. The successful person almost always has d reasonably good opinion of himself and of his capabilities. This does not mean that he is conceited to the point where he thinks himself superior to everyone else. However, he knows when he has done a good job and how he rates in compar ison with others. - :? - He does not keep this good opmion of : himself, to himself, nor does he flaunt it in the faces of others. But it give's him self assurance to. know that he has no reason to feel inadequate. He hits the happy medium between conceit and self-abasement. -LETTERS FROM READERS Poor Cook: "My wife is a poor cook and doesn't take any inter est in preparing meals. .

Am I right? (A) You ; are.;. Your wife should not have married if she had no. interest in the domestic duties that . are a part of mar riage.

Her comment . is that 'young : people today do not need ehaperones Are .- we being : old-fashioned when we think she is loo young to entertain alone?" (A) You may be a trifle "old- fashioned," but it is a good form of caution. I am sure that the majority of the parents of the young people your daughter en tertains would approve of your being in ? the , house. You can turn over the downstairs to the young people, but it will have a good psychological effect ; on them and on their parents for you to be in the house.
