SUNBEAM GIRLS
They Are Always
Excellent
i Company
By Beatrice Fairfax .
“She's good company!” These
t three words suggest a pleasant
personality, one containing the
* elements of popularity.
“She’s a dear!” is usually the
> verdict about the girl who is good
company. “She can always think
of something to talk about —
makes everyone have a good
_time!”
Ever so many girls write me
asking for the secret of popular
ity. Here’s one great secret —be
good company. And the way to
be good company is to begin by
being good cojnpany for yourself.
If you and yourself get along
/ beautifully, comfortably, happily
together, the chances are you
also get along with other folks,
k There’s. Cozette, for stance.
Cozette always looks for the am us
ingj funny side of things and,
* naturally, she finds it. As a re
sult, there is laughter In the air
wherever she goes. And you
know, yourself, nothing relieves
tension in the family circle or
elsewhere like a good laugh. If
* ~ - there were no one at hdme but
Cozette and her cat, 1 am sure
she would make the cat laugh.
> As it is. he purrs most of the
time In appreciation of the
friendly, pleasant atmosphere in
l which he finds himself.
But Cozette is never alone at
home, long enough to be lone-
* some. People who have some
thing positive, radiant to add to
• the general good times, are
wanted everywhere.
Cozette’s gift of cheerful, easy,
casual conversation and scintillat
ting good humor makes her the
kind of girl that both other girls
and men like, and she is so much
sought after that her problem is to
find time to be alone.
Everyone can cultivate this gift

Earn the Child’s Respect By Love
By Constance Cameron
So many mothers demand re
spect and apparent love from
their children as their just due.
“She should respect and love me
better than anyone in the world. ’
announced one mother last year.
“Am I not her mother?”
Well, exactly what does that
mean, when it comes to that
word “Should!”? Why should
a child be told it must love its
mother hetter than all the world
if that mother doesn’t earn 'that
love? We should be grateful for
having been ushered into this
world? 1 suppose there have been
moments in the lives of all of us
when we had much preferred that
this incident had been overlooked.
Pretend for a minute, that some
giant picked you up bodily and
set you down in a strange land,
filled with huge people, who some
times tickled and prodded you
when you wanted to sleep; who
sometimes said you were crying
out of temper when you ear
nestly desired nothing except a
drink of cool water; who scared
you by saying that horrible ani
mals would get you if you didn’t
shut your eyes and go straight to
sle»*p!
Then, when you had grown a
bit and were interested in every
thing, everywhere, you were told
to "let that alone” or “stop do
ing that;” you were made to
listen and not ask questions when
all that was said was so new and
exciting and vitally interesting to
you; were told you were naughty
and bad because you ran and

Dina’s hat is cisele felt with the brim turned

Then, why do we go on demand
ing that our children love us and
respect us merely because we are
their mothers? It is to
learn how to feed them properly,
how to keep them comfortable,
how to give them constructive
things to do that they may grow
mentally and in body, how to keep
them truthful to us by being ut
terly truthful with them.
It is our big obligation to make
them love ua because we are de

and bigger and can demand that
they act as though they loved us.
If you are fair with your child;
if he sees that you are doing all
that you can for him. trying to
understand his little hurts and an

you will not have to demand his
respect and love. He will give it
