Poor Sportsmanship
Means Unpopularity
There is nothing that contrib
utes more to Success in life and
Dersonal hanoiness than good
sportsmanship.
7 U
ILn
Dr. Huilock
On the other
hand, nothing
makes a per
son more thor
oughly dislik
ed than being
a poor sport.
Trie poor
sport is con
stantly com
plain ing. If
things go wrong, it is always
"John's fault," never his. He
sulks easily, believing that peo
ple do or say things deliberately
to hurt him.
Good sports are made, not
born. Sportsmanship is learned
just as other personality traits
are. Children must be taught to
take setbacks with good grace,
If the matter is left to chance
a child is more likely to grow
up to be a poor sport than a
good one, because sulking and
making a scene are' easier and
give more satisfaction at ,' the
moment.
A poor sport can become a
good one, but it will take more
effort on his part than if he had
gotten off to the right, start.
Here are some suggestions for
those who would like to im
prove this aspect of their per
- sonalities.
No One Likes Complainer
1. Stop complaining. No one
likes a complainer, and it in
creases your own unhappiness
by focussing your attention on
things you do not like. Instead,
try to discover whether you are
to blame for the things you
complain about. Then change
what can be changed and accept
philosophically what cannot.
2. Learn to give and take. A
good sport recognizes that other
people have rights, too, and is
willing to go along with them
provided he is given his fair
share.
3. Remember that all people
have some failures. Don t ex
pect to be the exception to the
rule. Instead of g e 1 1 i n g de
pressed and blaming others
when you fail, analyze your
failure to see where you. made
the mistake and resolve not to
let it happen again.
LETTERS FROM READERS
Daily Recreation: 'To do good
work, should a person have
soma recreation e r r y day?
What is the best type of recrea
tion? (A) An efficient person never
tries to keep his nose to the
grindstone constantly. He knows
that if he does he will "get
stale" and do work inferior to
bis ability. Whether he needs
daily recreation is an individual
matter. Some people prefer; to
take part of a day away from
their work several times a week.
The thing that "re-creates" you
is the thing you enjoy doing.
This may be sports, 'reading,
playing cards, gardening, or any
ene of a thousand activities.
Home Upsets: "When one of
the children gels sick, my wife
gets so upset that the whole
home atmosphere is one of deep
gloom. I tell her that children's
illnesses are not serious and to
take them more casually."
(A) You are wrong in saying
that children's illnesses are not
serious. Sometimes - r t h e y ar e
very serious and leave lasting
effects. However, there is no
reason to become upset unless
the illness is diagnosed by the
doctor as serious. " When your
By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
children are ill, it would be
good for your wife's morale to
call in the doctor and get his
opinion. This will go a long way
toward curbing gloomy imagi
nings. House-Bound: "My mother,
82, lives with us. I insist that
she stay indoors during the win
ter lo avoid catching cold or
slipping and breaking a bone.
She complains that I am lo pro
tective. Am I?
(A) Winter is a treacherous
season for old people. How
much they should go out de
pends partly upon their health,
partly upon the weather condi
tions, and partly upon what they
are accustomed to doing. Rea
sonable caution is certainly ad
visable for old people during
the winter s e a s o n. However,
overcaution makes an old per
son unhappy, and this is worse
than taking a few chances.

Waistline and Neckline Show Spring Style Changes
"Feminine Fifties" that's
what noted cotton fabric design
er Hope Skillman calls this fash
ion era.
In recent showings of smart
new fashions for spring, the reason-
is apparent. Gentle, elon
gated outlines; dropped waists;
modestly high necklines; end
long torsos put the accent on
feminity.
Sun-and-fun dresses mirror
these changes most obviously,
with long torso treatments em
phasized by stitching or, trim
ming and with looser, unadorn
ed bodices or throat-hugging
necklines often pointed up by
big bow ties. ,
Designer Claire McCardell
combines the lowered waistline
and the high-tie neckline in a
gay dress of sunny satin striped
cotton in tones of yellow and
green. . . .
Sheath dresses are important
in the sportswear picture for
cruise ana resort wear. Many
of these are to be worn unbelt
ed with just a hint of a waist
line. One design by Tina Leser
is done in a cotton plaid that
mixes brown, gold, moss green,
pink and blue in a halter-topped
sheath with matching jack
et.' .
Separates have an all-in-one
look. For example, Nelly de
Grab has fashioned a. pleated
skirt, sleeveless blouse, and
loose cardigan jacket all from
Hope Skillman's sky blue cot
ton. She trims it with touches
of sky blue cotton satin.
. Overblouses take precedence
over . the tuck-ins this season.
They are paired with skirts,
shorts, pants, and even swim
wear. Some are middy-style and
flapperish; others are molded
body. Designer Jean Mersel of
Nan Westley comes up with a
long, fitted overblouse in ombre
striped cotton with a sheath
skirt and cardigan jacket of cot
ton ottoman. - s
Fitted Swim Suits ' c
, Cotton ottoman, given a
crease-resistant finish, is a pop
ular sportswear material. Pem
Squires uses this cotton in flam
ing red for abbreviated shorts.
Miller-Berliner uses the same
cotton in sparkling - sapphire
blue for trim Bermuda shorts,
while Tina Lesser selects the
ottoman in lemon yellow for
calf-length matador pants.
Swim suits by many design
ers have been narrowed down
to fit the figure like a "second
skin." Woven cotton is a favo
rite for these suits. Caltex of
California uses Skillman's con
fetti plaid cotton in a rainbow
cf pastel shades for a halter
suit. Its entire back is . shirred
and elasticized.
Some designers still prefer the
figure-concealing dressmaker
swim suit and give them a fresh
look this 1 year. r-Brigance intro
duces "culotte" swim ' suits fit
ted with pleated pants cut bill
owy and full to look like skirts.
HEARTY BREAKFAST TIP
New York (U.R) For a hearty
breakfast that is easy to prepare
try this: canned apple slices
served . with brown sugar and
cream, pan-browned sausages,
whole wheat toast and coffee.
