RESTRAINED IMPULSE
CHAPTER CXXIV.

CHAPTER CXNIV.
From the vantage point of
years of experience | look back
at the mistakes | made. and
wonder IL ever another girl was
so untitled to cope with tho
problems of married life. Yet in
all but managing our finances |
was as capable or more so than
most girls, in all but that. And
that | now know is the rock on
which many marriages go to
pieces. More perhaps than the
usual person imagines.
once or twice that evening
was on the point of telling Tom
that ! had borrowed some money
Of Carol Blackjack, but each
time something held me back.
In the first place he complained
OF not feeling well, and was
plainly out of sorts.
am afraid ] was not so SYM
pathetic as | might have been,
my mind was so full of the
shopping l intended to do on
the morrow; the things I would
buy to make myself attractive at
CIalres dance. Sometimes now
| wonder if Tom could have
looked into the future, the trou-
bled days before him if he would
nave asked me to marry him.
Not that I doubt his love through
all the years, but would he have
been willing to assume the bur
den because of that love?
We retired early, and ins the
morning he appeared all right,
and went to business as usual.
Lack of Moncy-Sense.
AS soon as the morning work
was out of the way l went down
town. | paid Callman's bill, and
then went into the dress depart
ment. As l have said before it
was an expensive place. and the
only dress | wanted, a delicate
blue and gold affair, was one
hundred dollars. Then the Slip
pers and stockings to go with it
would be at least ten or twelve
more. ] hcsitated for mo-
ment. Then came the thought. |
why shouldn't | have it? Tom |
was sure to earn more soon. and |
Carol had said | could have all !
the time | wanted to return his |
loan. So | ordered the dress and |
bought the shoes and stockings |
| then bought some things for
the children before returned
home. Little things they needed,
but which added considerably to
the bill.
Does it seem that I was abso
lutely devoid of common sense
to be so constantly in debt? |
think l was devoid of money
sense, and that in a way l was
not to blame for it. If mother
had only allowed me little
money for my own, had taught
me how to buy, the value of
keeping out of debt, and the
of a nest egg for the
future, | am sure | should not
have made so much trouble for
myself and for others. But this
sense, money-sense, is the only

DOING OVER YOUR WALLS

DOING OVER YOUR WALLS
will you please give me a little
advice concerning doing over my
walls?" writes reader of this
column, II would like to tint them,
but don't want one of those tints
which must be put on rapidly and
which will leave a mark if one has
to stop in doing the work. Do
you think l could possibly tint or
paint them satisfactorily, and if
so, how"
AS l have just finished tinting
my own walls, without the help of
a professional painter, l can give
the following explicit directions:
Instead of using one Of the
water tints to which my reader
friend refers above, | used a paint
tint and the result is a soft, dull
finish which is washable (my
rooms are done in a light tan but
these paint-tints may be had in
large range of colorS.)
The first step in tinting the
walls of a room is to prepare the
plaster surface for the tint. If the
room has been papered previously,
alum water must be applied with
a large brush to remove this old
paper Git will peel off easily when
dry; if the walls have been cal
cimined, this finish must be
washed off with a sponge wrung
out of cold water; and if the walls
are simply of uncovered plaster,
all that is necessary is to sponge
off dust and dirt marks-unless,
of course, the house is very new
and no such marks have yet been
made.
This done, all nail-holes and
cracks must be filled in with
patching plaster" Small boxes
of this patching plaster can be
bought at hardware store mex
pensively and it should be mixed
with cold wafer on an old saucer
with an artists palette knife or
a small spatula. For fine cracks
this plaster should be of the con-
sistency of milk; for nail-holes
and souSes it should be as stiff
as putty. Only enough for one
hole should be mixed at a time.
as it dries very quickly and can
not be remoistened. Before put
ing it on the wall, dampen the
holes or cracks with a cloth wrung
out of cold water. Smooth the
patching plaster into three wet
places with the palette knife, and
allow it to dry for two hours at
ieast before applying the tint paint.
The next step is to wash all

much larger salary than he had.
Sometimes l looked back and

| having one hundred dollars a
month to spend. How like a for
tune it had seemed. Now the
two hundred and fifty Tom re-

sires.' That ones desires grow by

BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, May 12.-Wheat prices
showed a downward tendency to-
day owing largely to the fact that
crop reports appeared less unfa-
vorable than has been the rule of
late. The market closed nervous,
nc to 1%c net lower with May
$1.43 to $1.43A and July $1.16 to
$1.16%. Corn lost Y to &c. oats
* &C to &c and provisions sc to zoe.
Besides having an advantage as
to crop advices. the bears in wheat
were able to put stress on higher
rates for money and heaViness In
the stock market, as well as upon
slowness of export demand and
upon talk that Argentine shipping
troubles would soon be settled.
Passage of the emergency tariff
bill in the senate gave values a lit
tie support early, but the effect OF
the senate action seemed mostly to
have been discounted in advance.
Indications of frost tonight were
also without much in favor of the
bulls. On the other hand, reports
of strained industrial conditions in
Great Britain attracted some UNI
favorable notice, domestic rural Of
ferings were small. and lack of out
side speculative interest was a sub
ject of comment.
Corn and oats were easier with
wheat, although steadied more or
less by a fairly good domestic ship
ping call for corn and by signs of
a falling off in receipts, Provi-
sions reflected the weakness of
grain despite higher quotations on
hogs and Notwithstanding gossip
of a better export demand.

May II. 1921.
Editor Morning Journal, City.
Dear Sir: Your second discour-
agement of poetical hopes stimu-
lates me to answer at once"
While you say some good true
things in your defense of prose,
You seem to ignore Mrs. Brown
ing's words: Good critics have
crushed poets hopes"
AS my pen scratching in prose,
lew as they are, exceeded my
rhymes or blank verse at least ten
times, I should judge perhaps my
word in discussing verse would
not be called one.sided.
1t takes higher moral courage
and a much more finely organized
mind to speak the truth without
referring to ourselves, but most of
us feeI safer, more sure of holding
our thought position in drawing
our illustrations from personal eX-
perience as proof that we know
what we say and are not just air.
ing theories.
| should like to give whole col
umn to the subject of a writer's in
stincts; motive power, problems
and limitations, but | must not for
get your uses for space, so l will
just speak of verse. u..
In the first place the common
people understand in verse what
We might regard as too deep for
them far better than l should have
believed possible, in the case of the
very ignorant, if | had not made
tests and secured proofs.
Verse is more quickly read and
more easily remembered and there
fore moro effectively applied to
life than prose is.
1t takes me very much longer
to write in verse than it does i'll
prose, that is so far as getting II
number of words on paper is con-
cerned, but the beauty of it is [
can say so much more, feel so
much better satisfied with what
have said in q few words of verse
than | could with ten times as
much prose. For example:
You can take me by the hand
Along 'life's crowded street."
My strength would fail me all too
soon
Beside your hurrying feet.
But as | watch the busy thronG
In which you move away
l whisper low within my heart
The wish we both might pray.
These are forty-eight words. L
think it would take about three
to tell in an interesting
way how those lines We're sug-
gested, and at least two hundred
more to draw a climax that would
be just to my deepest thoughts
on the point ! have tried to make
in my verse. l could say ito know
God is to know each other or, [

how to interest me would not neg
lect me when | need the most care,
by refusing to recognize God. But
how could one interested in my
thought reserves be satisfied if l

FIND LATENT TALENT
Psychology Used in Tests at
University Of Wisconsin.
Experts Hunt Among Freshmen for
Material for Likely Journalists
and Macbinlsts.

Madison, Wis.-Psychological tests
of ability for machine shop work evil
denced by freshmen In the college Of
engineering are being undertaken by
the department OF psychology at the
University OF Wisconsin.
The results OF the tests are being
computed by students in vocational
psychology as a part of their work III
preparing TO become employment
managers.
Another set OF tests designed TO
gauge journalistic ability is to be Civ
en- TO freshmen In the course Of jour
nalism in conjunction with schools of
journalism in other universities. These
tests will be given for several success.
sive years to determine whether It is
possible to discover latent newspaper
talent through psychology tests.
The system of giving psychological
tests, instead OF regular entrance ex-
aminations TO students who wish to
enter a university, has been tried In
several universities. The idea Is that
student who has a good mind, but
has insufficient or inferior high school
training, may be advised as to the
lines Of study for which he is best
fitted.
In this regard, the University of
Wisconsin is giving more specific tests
than most other universities, BY CIV
ing dozen or more tests for the same
results, the psychologists at the uni
versity are determining which tests
are best. In a small series of tests
already conducted, however, the re-
suits do not correspond well with the
scholastic records Of the students
tested.
