Take a Tip
1. Tea is orange pekoe, probably to
you. Did you know that you .should
say peck -o, not peek -9, and that
the word is an index..of, size of the
tea leaves, not of flavour?
2, granges are usually navel (nayvel)'
oranges at this •time of year.. They
are easily segmented and easily
served whole ;instead of juiced.
'They are best for marmalade, too.
The . Valencias we -buy during ,the
summer are more juicy.
3. The lemons ort our market dry out

had been insuperable kr years have
been solaced: • A modern method of

which uses certain Minerals called
zeolites—substat"ices that -possess the
property of taking out -the lime and
magnesium from .water and replacitg
these chemicals by harmless sodium
compounds.' in the post-war world

times as many shaves as in former
days. Great economies, too, will be
effected in factories, "and wastes now

Pete, because that --isn't his name.
When he walked- into Branch office
N. 3-ithe other- ,afternoon,I lagged
him' dowl.
"Long 'time no •see," 1 remarked, • ie.
my usual original manner, • "Where
have been—out of town?"
"No," answered Pete who'was look-
ing a -trifid gauut, "I've been having
a baby—that is—the wife—"
'"Fine," •I said; .'splendid. • Congrat-
ulatioris!"
Pete gave a,..]imp gland, with a wan
smile. .
-r -."Boy or .girl?".'L_asked.
,"Girl." •
"Everything all right?" I asked.'
"The wife and. baby are flirt," re-
plied Pete, after catching -a w=aiter's
attention. "In fact, • the doctor said
my wife came through it ih' •better
shape than I did."
"Those d.octors will' have their lit-
tle' jelcess," '
"This was no ,joke.. I. was practic-
ally a nervous wreck. I've always
'been the sort of high-strung, worrying
type anyway and—well I never want
to go through that again,:'=
"You'll get over it," .I assured him
as' the waiter set down a couple of
foaming glasses. • -
"But you've no idea of what I went
through," answered Pete, as he lifted
his ,glass and nodded at me.'
"All the best," I' said,. as I nodded
back. Then I added: "I know what
it's like. After all, I'm a father my-
self.." t
.."But everything happened to me,
said Pete. '"To begin with we had a
false alarm, I rushed her to hospie
tal and Thee hadto bring, her .'home.
Skein the next day. They wouldn't
let her stay, because they needed the.
space. I lost six pounds that night"
"Must -have been a bit trytei."
"Sfx days later 'she .woke me up—

• People den?t_.like .tothink that they
go' around fawning on folks, nor do
they lake to admit that they're fawii-
'ed of, being fawned on. (Sorry, but
1,couldn't resist that one.) •
But it doesn't take a giant intellect
•—such as mine—to see that- flattery
is used .by :nearly everybody, to a
certain extent. - .•- • ;
And the extent to which a persop

cireies, f
Flattery ,an art, and the fine art
of flattery is one of the most useful
things anybody can, po sess if they
want to get aidng in life.
,Majority of you: readers *ill ,say:
"If I can't get along witho l't- flattere
ing peaple, I- don't want to getalong ••
" "And that's perfectly .O.K.; as far as
I'm concerned, .But. do you ever stop
to think how much flattery you use
every day? Most of it is used uncon-
sciously; I'll agree, but you use it east
the same. •
Salesmen use flattery as bait of
their .stock -in -trade. They not. wily
flatter their product •try "modestly an-
nouncing that it is the -.very 'finest on
the market, . but they flatter their
prospective customer in various' ways.
"My, but you're looking good l'" the
salesman:will say, when actually his
•customer looks as if he is just about
two 'steps ahem: of the genfs with
the long wicker basket. • .
As a iaatter'•of fact I. was talking➢
to 'a salesman, ip, cue of my branch
offices, and he told ,..me . that—in his
time—there was really: no choice be-
tween the stuff he,•was peddling arid
the same sort of • goods made by his
competitors.
He' had no selling arguments 'that
his opposition couldn't •duplicate, so
all he could use •to keep up his quota
was friendship between himself anti
his customers.
And .how did he develop that friend-
ship? How does he Sep it in 11sOtL
condition? . Flattery is the answer—
'although he didn't call it that.
"I try to make 'em feel good,"' was
the' way :he put it. "For instance, if a
',merchant bas got a picture of his
wife, or kids, on his desk, I ask per-
mission to have ,a look.' at it and then
tell him how wonderful theynre. Or
,I tell -him his • store is one of the
neatest and best laid out` I've seen
for .a long while. If I can't think of
anything else, I ask him his advice
on something. There'snothing flat-
ters a man more than asking his' „ad-
vice -and then pretending to take it
very seriously."

that women flatter each other yell ,the
