A VALENTINE ENGAGEMENT PARTY.

1t is a pretty fashion to an
nounce engagements on Saint
Valentines Day, and if there is
an engaged couple among your
circle of intimate friends, who
expect soon to enter the bonds of
matrimony, it is a happy thought
to give an evening party devoted
to them. Suitable little gifts are
sent by the invited guests to the
hostess the day before the party
is given. These may be trifles
for the table, dressing table, or
any useful, ornamental or anus
ing article. They should be tied
with gay ribbon in crepe or tissue
paper decorated with hearts of
cupids, and then placed in one
large basket with handle and
prettily wound with flowers. All
should be addressed to the bride
elect.
After the guests are assembled
the basket should be passed
around, and each guest take a
parcel. After they have all been
supplied each person shall read
the name on the parcel, also the
name of the sender, and then de-
liver it at the feet Of the one to
whom it is addressed. Ofcourse
they are all addressed to t h e
bride-elect or the groom-elect. AS
each parcel is delivered it is open
ed and commented upon. Lillian

fined TO shc head, nose and throat. Lat

1t is rot because these organs are not

all around the circle ana when II ar
rives at the originator he notes how
many seconds were required for the
given number OF persons in succession
to receive an impression and make up
their minds to act in response. The
total time is then divided by the num-
ber of persons. This is crude illus
tration Of the reaction time which we
measure with great accuracy on single
persons.
AS the mental portion Of the reaction
time becomes more complicated the
time becomes longer. For example.
the processes OF mental discrimination
aud choice require times OF their own,
The way we get these "higher" mental
processes can be illustrated in a sim
pie way. A person placed in a quiet
room is TO tap telegraph key every
time he sees red light, which can be
produced at the will Of the expert
menter in the recording room. The in
terval of time between the actual ap-
pearance of the light and the moment
the key is tapped is accurately meas
ured. For awhile nothing but the red
light is used, this to obt0in the simple
reaction time. Then red and yellow
lights are turned on in irregular sue
cession. The person has now to dis
criminate betweea two colors and to
choose between action and nonaction.
The increase OF time required over the
simple reaction tlne gives the dis
elimination time for two colors. In am
other set OF experiments three colors are
used, then four colors. AS the discrim-
nation and choice become more com
plicated more time is required.
The Importance OF rapid and accurate
reaction and discrimination Is evident
Astronomers have difficulty in record
ins the moment at which q star passes
line in the telescope. The sports
man must pull the trigger at just the
proper moment. The football player
the fencer and the boxer arc trained
in rapidlty Of discrimination end reac
tion. II is very evident that a player
