iron and all the rest.

But then I hit upon something they did know — something for which we would gladly sell the world... peace of mind.

Who, then, will take the car and the airplane and the radio and the refrigerator and the washing machine, and give us that in their stead?

The Currency of the Age

I was talking to a friend about a certain woman...

I said: Poor thing — don't you see that she lives on her nerves?

She said: And how is one to live in this clamorous, warring, jostling world, this world of push and shove, if not on one's nerves?...

I said... On other people's nerves... Do not ninety-nine percent of mankind live that way?

A Psychological Prescription

One of the great specialists in children's diseases made it his habit to write a single prescription for every thin child...

(This child must be loved at least once every three hours...) And I do not know why, after reading this charming item, I remembered the thousands of children who lack neither clothing nor food nor toys, but lack a thing begrudged them by two sorts of people...

Women who spend their hours between the market and the visit and gadding about here and there, leaving their children to the maid or to the mercy of God...

And men who believe that playing with their children is a lessening of their dignity as fathers.

To these I say... try the policy of love; it may succeed in delivering your children from their complexes where clothes and food and dolls have failed...

The Teacher and the Pupil

both use Kotex with confidence and assurance

There is something in common between most girls and their teachers: they all rely on the safety, cleanliness, and comfort that Kotex sanitary napkins afford them. For at certain times each month a woman finds, whatever she may do, that Kotex napkins are the best protection she could seek against annoyances, without distress.
