-The Joint mittee of the Shanghai Women's clubs has decided to send representatives to the Pan-Pacific Women's conference to be held in Honolulu, Hawall, Tune 14-28, ONE MAY DEVELOP OWN TALENT, WRITER SAYS BY BEULAH VAUGHN You are what you think you are if you think hard enough. An inferiority complex is as detrimental to success as a superiority complex. If you underestimate your own value or talents people not only take you at your word, but those with imagination think still less of you. Every woman has a talent of some kind buried within her. If she has not found it perhaps it is because environment, circumstances, opportunity, have not brought It out.

Or she may have been too lazy after regular duty to find it herself. It's there and it is her duty to find It. You are what wou think you are and what you make yourself. Why not think yourself into what you wish to be? When people live together very closely for many years they absorb each other's qualities sometimes, and they have been known to acquire slight physical traits. If you have a talent, no matter how small, make the best of it.

Work it for all it is worth. If you have a physical feature that is fair or one you regard as homely or freakish, play it up until It becomes dominantly atractive or fascinating. Remember, you are always able to dress as well as your neighbor. Correct style does not necessarily mean spending much money. You have the freedom and th power to become as alluring as your Ideal if you take the trouble to develop a powerful personality.

Anyone can, through effort and application, learn become even an interesting conversationalist. You have a. voice, into which you can instill charm. and you have a character, a disposition that you can enhance. The woman with 'an inferiority plex is one who suffers from self-consciousness.
