It is something that makes one inarticulate and uncomfortable, as all know who have suffered from this particular kind of How to get dumb misery. away from that kind of self consciousness and invest ones self with the right kind, is the problem of many a young person in social or school life. For there is another kind of and it is greatly to be desired. It is the control of mind and body, based on some understanding of your own best self, that makes you feel at home anywhere. One way in which this poise is attained is simply to relax mentally in evey contact you make with other people. And this is accomplished by a gracious yielding to others. The thing is to adapt yourself to others and their interests, just as a stream adapts itself easily, gladly, here or there, to the contours of the country through ss, which it wanders, moving not in straight, compelling lines, but in gracious, yielding lines of fitness and beauty. Learn to relax to everything that seems like an ordeal. Break up the habit of tension that makes you appear awkward and shy. When you are with a group, think about the other people who are present. Note their appearance and what their faces express. Hear what they are saying and add to it a thought of your own, even if you never get a chance to say it aloud. By paying attention to others in this simple way, you will forget yourself. And you will find that this Telephone glass crystal and two-to- Mantua News V-- .' dial.

His mansions were temporary, and shifted from New York to Philadelphia while the White House was still a dream, observes a writer in the New York Times. Only his name, plus that dream, which was his, went to the city on the Potomac. But in the stress of the formative years he was remembered with widespread festivities at his first birthday after his inauguration. Indeed, the anniversary had been hailed even earlier, since the first President was a national hero long before he grasped the reins of government.

The President and the congress (and also the capital of the United States), had meanwhile removed temporarily to Philadelphia. But even New Yorks disappointment did not prevent Tammany from vying with the exclusive organization of Revolutionary officers to do honor to the day. Alas, the good feeling did not endure. By 1796, after John Jay had come back from England with his hated treaty, Tammany was fiercely for revolutionary France; Jefferson was its god; George Washington was actually being dubbed, in public, a aristocrat; and those who celebrated his birthday were coldly accused of being (among other things) bootlickers, idolators, Royalists and birthThe country-wid- e sycophants. day honors of that year, though even more lavish and vociferous than usual, presented for the first time the ogre of party, grinning at the feast By 1797, however, the Jay treaty was being regarded much more tolerantly, and certain French proceedings were being looked at a little askance.

Nineteen years later Britain adopted the Georgian in place of the Julian calendar.

The radiance went out of Mount Vernon in December of 1799 and the birthday festivities the country over were turned into mourning processions when 1800 brought the anniversary around once more.
