What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF LACK OF
CLOTHING?

YXTHAT is called one of the stand
w ard" dreams, one which is most
annoying and one which everybody al
most. has experienced at least once in
his life, some people many times, is
the dream of finding oneself in n
thronged street or in room filled
with people and suddenly realizing
that one Is only partially clothed or
not clothed at all. In these dreams
the people with whom we find ourseif
do not appear to take any notice OF
our unconventional condition, but the
dreamer Is much disturbed and en-
deavors 10 escape. This dream has
received particular attention from
those scientists who for more than
half century have been investigating
the phenomena of dreams re-
garded as purely mental Cor more &C.
curately psychic). or as physical mani
festations The dream in question ia
said to be the basis of Hans Chris
tian Andersen's story, "The Emper.
or's New Clothes" and has been done
into poetry by the German author,
FuIda, in 1.-THE Talisman." 1t is
called by the scientists a standard"
or typical" dream because it is one
which is experienced by all persons
in an identical or almost identical
manner: whereas most of our dreams
are peculiar to ourselves.
The empires. those who interpret
dreams in the old. superstitious. tradi-
pnSpinntifip fnnnnpr
declare the dream under considera-
tion to be bad omen, though they do
not all agree just how bad. They
say il signifies that people are con-
spring against you; that you are soon
TO receive an insult; you will be dis.
appointed in your friends and rela-
tives and II is warning to you to
mend your ways.
Those scientists who strive to ac-
count for dreams by referring them to
physical source say that this dream
is simply the result of sensations
caused by the bedclothes slipping OFF.
But that does not hold for we fire.
quently have the dream when covered
up warm.
Professor Freud, the latest and the
most celebrated of investigators of
dream sources, says in his book, "The
Interpretation of Dreams" that the
dream is based upon recollection OF
our earliest childhood. When we were
babies we were seen with Indifference
by relatives, strangers and servants
scantily dressed and were not
ashamed. These recolections of baby
hood, imprisoned dormant and unre-
callable in our waking hours, are
liberated to us in the dream state.
Our feeling of uneasiness and desire
to escape though no one notices
our nudity, is reflex from the
repression of our later lives during
which the habit of being properly
clothed in public has become part OF
our normal existence.

It's all worth WHILE he used to say
When difficulties lined his way.
I've never known a trouble yet
| wasn't glad that | had met
The minute had seen it through,
Because it proved what / could do.
I've feared it, looking straight ahead,
I've had my share of doubt and
dread
And yet, when it was over,
Looked backwards with laughing
eye
And to myself I'd always say:
You'll boast about that task some day.
I've never known q man so great
That didn't hunger to relate
The hardships and the cares he'd
known
Before success was his to own.
The hunger that had made him whine
Had also helped to make him fine.
The failures that had tried his soul
And seemed a barrier to his goal
Had changed their bitterness for
sweet
And now are memories to repeat.
Mans greatest JOY beneath the sun
Is to recall what he has done.
Today laugh at yesterday
And all the cares that came my way;
The past is only grim to those
Who left their courage with Its woes.
Who plods along new joys to win
Looks back at trouble with grin,
And bOastfully at times repeats
The misery of his defeats.
He tells his hardships with q smile
And holds that they were all worth
while.
For all the secret joys that last
Spring from the hardships of the past
So into every round of care
And every battle with despair
l plunge. remembering the fun
That 1t will mean when I am done.
What hurts me now will some day be
A very pleasant memory.
And laughingly l may recall
In future years the present fall.

A simple dessert which is easy to

Rice With Prunes and Bananas.
Take well-Cooked rice, mold in small
cups or molds and around each place
alternate pieces of cooked prunes and
sliced bananas. Sprinkle lightly with
sugar and cover with whipped cream
The addition of bit of lemon juice
with a bit of the grated rind of the
fruit itself is rather tiavorleSs. Orange
juice with a bit of the grated rind of
the fruit may be used also.
Rice is also very nice served with
fig sauce. Take one cupful of figs,

very tender. add a teaspoonful of
lemon juice and serve tablespoonful
of the sauce with each helping of the
