"MOW TO WIN FRIENDS
MAKE A SUCCESS OF SECOND CHOICE
D OCTOR STICKNEY had a daughter named Dorothy,
born in Dickinson, N. D. When a child, she lost her
eyesight and couldn’t go to school. In the afternoon, when
school was dismissed, she would go out to the front fence
and wait for the other children to come along so she could
talk to them. She would get one of the other
girls to read the lessons to her.
Finally, her sight improved slightly, and
she was allowed to attend school, sit in the
classes and learn by listening. Her parents
sent her to boarding school and made arrange
ments for her to take subjects that didn’t re
quire use of her eyes. She had wanted to be a
teacher, but now realized that she would
never be able to use her eyes sufficiently to
teach. It was a cruel blow. Ambitious, she
looked around for something else to do. Her second inter
est was acting, so she packed her clothes and went to the
Northwestern Dramatic school in Minneapolis.
Then she went to New York, and began paddling around
to the employment offices.
Finally she got a job as a real actress. When opening
night came, she was so frightened, so nervous, and did
so badly that she was fired. ^ [
One night she saw Otto Kruger in a play; and
the next day she read that he had had a tempera
ture all during the performance. This made a tre
mendous impression on her. She told herself that
if he could give a good performance when he was
sick, so could she, if the time ever came. It did,
later, when she was a success, and she has played
many times when she was ill.
She rose to an important place in the theater. Played
in “The Front Page,” “Another Language,” “On Borrowed
Time,” in “Life With Father,” the smash hit on Broadway.
Dorothy Stickney is a splendid example of one who had
to give up first choice and made an outstanding success of •
her second choice.

PLAIN CHILDREN MADE WELCOME
’T'HE story of the Ugly Duck-
A ling has perhaps touched
more hearts than any other fairy
tale ever written. This is be
cause, most of us as children had
moments of feeling unappreciat
ed when the tale of the de
spised duckling who turned out
’ to be a swan was balm to our
smarting egos.
Now these temporary mo
ments of feeling unimportant to
the family are inevitable and
perhaps do us more good than
harm, for can you imagine any
thing less desirable than grow
ing up feeling worthy every sec
ond? No self-searching, no need
. for resolving to improve oneself
—in our opinion that would be like
living in a climate where there
were never any weather
changes.
But feeling that one is an
ugly duckling for days and
weeks and years at a time is
something else again. Such
an experience may do a swan
no harm but it is soul sear
ing to a human being. That
is why parents should try to
make their less attractive or
, less gifted children feel as
important and welcome as
their handsome or smarter
brothers and sisters. This
is done by bringing out and
making much of their good
points, but not in so obvious
a way as to make the child
realize that you are com
pensating for shortcomings
of personality.
Just such heavy-handed meth
ods were once used by conscien
tious parents. For example, the
homely child was dressed more
plainly than the others, hair
pulled back in pie most unbe
coming manner, anti to make up
for this, virtues were extolled.
“Ellen isn’t pretty, but she is
so good to children”—or “Bob is
unattractive but he gets 98 in
arithmetic.” Generations of chil
dren seethed inside over these
well-meant remarks.
Taking this matter of
looks alone, it is possible
nowadays to spare a child
most of. the distress of be
ing less well favored than
other children. Youngsters
aren’t particularly critical of <;
their own features but they
can be miserably conscious •
of an unbecoming dress. ,
especially if they don’t like
the color or the length. Ex- / >
tra thought, a little more
money, considerably more
time spent in dressing the
least pretty of your children
will often save that child ‘ v
the knowledge of being dif
ferent.
But won’t he or she have to
learn some day that others in
the family got most of the^good
looks? Certainly, but by Then
they can take it if in childhood
they have felt equally cherished.
And by then, too, there’s so
much they can do about itl All
a homely girl has to do today
is wear more enchanting hats,
bigger earrings, a stunning hair
do or more carefully chosen col
ors than her sisters to be con
sidered the smartest looking in
the family.
For it isn’t the fact of having
t big nose or spreading mouth
or freckles that harms a child's
ego. It’s the parents spoken
disappointment.
