Phone NANCE PHARMACY Thanks a Lot Rona Morris Workman Vernonia, Oregon Many letters have come to me expressing appreciation and en joyment of some of the things I have written in these articles and in my stories and poems, and after each one arrives I go about with a lift to my spirit and a desire to do better work. I have been thinking how much a bit of praise, a little word cf interest, can help us over some of the rough places in life. As a child I remember the older generation still held to the idea that “praise to the face is open disgrace” and they were sure that to praise a child for anything was to spoil him, con sequently most children grew up with terrific inferiority complex es. I wonder why it seems easi er, especially for parents and oth er relatives, even in these more enlightened days, to criticize rather than to commend? Nine times out of ten a husband will •eat an especially well-cooked meal without a word of comment, but just let his .wife burn the biscuits or serve something he doesn’t like and he tells her without the slightest loss of time and in full detail. Yet give a woman a little praise and she will work her head off to earn some more, and I don’t believe women are different from men in that respect. I have seen men, under the stimulus of praise from their wives, travel steadfastly the road to success, and I have watched others, who received on ly complaints and criticism, re main at a low level of attain ment. You may say one man had ambition and the other none, but praise for work done and con fidence in his ability will give the impetus of desire which we call ambition. There are enough handicaps in the struggle with out having to contend with doubt and faultfinding and hate ful criticism in the home. We have learned the value of kindness and courtesy in business —“service with a smile"—. It is even necessary to be kind and courteous to milk cows if you de sire a profit and I was reading the other day that a cheerful greeting to your hens will pro duce better egg results, yet there are homes where courtesy and thoughtfulness is reserved for visitors and regarded as absolute ly non-essential in the daily family life, while a compliment is a thing unheard of. I visited an acquaintance sometime ago and remarked how gay and happy she looked. She laughed and re plied that her husband had given her a compliment that morning, the first one in ten years. I came away with gladness in my heart that I wasn’t married to a man like that. Men say, I know, that you can tell a woman anything and she will believe it if she wants to believe it. I disagree with that. Women merely react to the feel ing which prompted the words. For instance, when the Big Boss tells me I’m as pretty as on the day he married mb, I know he is lying, and he knows that I know, but who cares? It gives me such a nice feeling to hear him say it that I trot in to my mirror and put on the best face that the drug store can furnish, don a pretty dress and get him something special for his dinner. His compliment doesn’t fool me, but my Big Boss is a smart man and knows his woman.
