IN WOMAN'S WORLD
The

Set
a terrier.living'together in a millennial
sort of brotherhood; and the Dowager Lady Decies carries a monkey hanging!
from her wrist by his tail. - \ -
But the most appealing pet of the collection is a crocodile. Any one who I
has ever observed crocodiles will understand why a certain Mr. Schmidt
(Oscar) cherishes one.ft Down in a southern city park much may be?gained
from considering the crocodiles. Their serenity, is complete. Plunged into
depths of introspection, a crocodile will dream for days, undisturbed ,by the
clash of events or any idle clamor of an ephemeral race of men, the most
restful creature in the universe. He doesn't seem -in. the least stupid about it
When, now and then, he opens an eye to look at the world, his expression is
intelligent, of a large tolerance that questions nothing, but accepts"life with
passive patience. No one could, have a crocodile in the family and not nat-i
urally absorb philosophy. - ? iJ : * ?;; ? '■
It is much the same with a terrapin. A certain San Francisco family once
had a terrapin for a pet. They had saved him from a barrel of diamond backs !
sent from New Orleans, all save one sacrificed to menus. They, had come ,
from the gulf of Mexico alive, and for days roamed the roof of the old j
Bohemian club, until by twos and threes they had been reduced a la Mary
land to one, and this was sent to the family, who hadn; the heart to eat it.
.Instead, they named it Glaucus and put it in the garden, where it developed
a delightful individuality and a friendly spirit? that responded to intelligent
treatment. He .was obviously not *. happy, but met conditions with! fquaint
philosophy, and in the end. after six months, he quietly crawled under a rose
bush and died the death of a philosopher. There is an unwritten story of
one that wandered off the roof of the club and smashed a man's hat in Post
street, but he had been destined for dinner, and his history has nothing to do
with strange ft pets. ■ ' -■ -.-'-.:■

Praise Is Stimulation
To Effort
DO most of us, I wonder, '• realize, and utilize anywhere
near to its full value, the suggestive power; of praise?
"I want you to be president," I heard the chair
man ft of a nominating * committee say very ft confidentially
to the nominee > she; had chOsen; ; "because;L feel that. in
i this crisis we- simply must have a strong-personality to
pull us through."/ ' /
The girl was elected to the office, and since*then she
has been straining every nerve to fill that rather difficult
position in a superior manner. * - r :; :
**£:.>;ft? She has exerted? herself ;j as I never knew her to do
before.
' 'And she has accomplished wonders. .ft
Why? ; .. •' / '^ -.- '; V . ',
.; -ft Sim ply,; because J she ; has been ? trying^to live -up* to r ■•———. r ~ _ , *.
the j ideal: of her possibilities which the other girl's praise put ? before her.
We use this sort ft of: suggestion constantly with children. *
1 ; Who '• hasn't averted ', a cloudburst by assuring the ;. baby when he ; bumped
j his little head that "you are 'so glad he is a brave little boy who never cries?'*
i Who * hasn't ? stimulated ■ a youngster to ? some unwonted activity/by; feeling
!ftsure "that a little : boy as^ bright? as- he is can lace his own shoes or;' comb
| his own hair' or whatever it happens to be that you don't * want *to do * for
I 'him just then?; : * ?? ' "?* -'" * *'■,-■
f. -ft?. ■- Why, then, ? since we ? realize Its value, why, don't we apply this principle
to some of the grown up v children with whom we have to deal?- ■-?j'??? 'QZj !?{??
Of course,ft?.the? suggestionf would have to be somewhat t less crude; the
coating on the pill ; a little ,' thicker. But \ not so very much ; so.': Cover it ft ever
so ; slightly and "'twill; serve." We are all so anxious to swallow anything
that looks like candy? of praise, that the medicinal part doesn't have to be
concealed? very cleverly. ?. ft, •?{■;.!-?? ;■-'?'"? ;"»;'} r' **'■- !;?;*'..'?-'* !■'} -*""..*.'
: Why should we be i suspicious u of'ulterior- motive,, when some one ex
presses a good opinion of us? Is not that same good opinion' something which
:we ;? have? held all along and (rather wondered other people didn't share
with us? ?,;V' ''7r'77:7y-' '-'.?; '-*;-'.?: ZTj, ■ ? ;■• ~ . .;'..'-.:"-. :,:..■;?:-■--- -;-,?.* .'-" '- -; ■ '■:■ ?-'-■*;
. I know that : the ; girl who ? was president never the least suspected the ' de
liberate ? intent of her friend's praise/;! ? ' 7 ! v
Incidentally, that friend is a girl who is much wondered at for her clever
ness in getting people to do what she wants them to do. ft !!
! ft And ? I have •; no doubt ) that, thei secret of *, her [ success is • simply! that she
does realize, and does constantly utilize to its full ft value, the suggestive powers
of praise. :"':-??;.-;'"';;'■?■■ ?■?,? *' " -■' -

PLAYER PIANOS

{$ I Some Player j Pianos boasts of exclusive ft. features, but nearly all
-? Players have the same "execution" features, under; one name or the*"
other. " „ " ':;'' "",

, METAL ACTION v PARTS. All the action parts are" made of

ft .There's * a simple ,??i old-fashioned
