SUCH an absorption in flims is certainly more pronounced in Hollywood than Anywhere cine. Bernstein told me of a vast Marion Davies party, of his spending most of an evening with Ginger Rogers before realis- the burning ng who she was: demand for fresh youth and aplitę " beauty, and of the great Interest in blographical pletures.

TEACH CHILDREN THAT

Good habits can be fun

EVERY good habit economises energy, by the automatic per- formance of the right action, at the right time, in the right way. The more good habits a child acquires, the more spare energy he will have throughout his life.

Habils are formed through the tendency, which we all have,

to repeat those actions which have resulted in pleasure. We must see then that the right activities result in pleasure.

We must, for instance, guard against fussing unduly over a hurt child. Otherwise he will form a habit of erying, loud and long over every small hurt.

Similarly, we must carefully avoid ruproving a delinquent in the hearing of the tale-bearer. Or ing the habit is
