Much has been said and written
on the subject Of dreams and taelr
supposed Influence on our aaty
life.
The following remarkable ac-
count of how a Fairmont map, un-
married, was tmpelled to buy q GER
tain kind Of necktie one day last
week, as i direct result OF q day
dream INDUCED in away last Janu-
arys Is vouched for by the man him

I'VE are such stuff as dreams
i made Of" said Shakespeare,
land d little lives arc bounded

whose researches in the realms OF
psychoanalysis have startled the
t1inktng world, clinches that state
ment with a mass OF scientific data
NDreams.' says Freud, "are the ex-
urassfon Of unfulfilled desire.' And
daydreams, he asserts, are related
TO the dream proper, bear many OF
the same psychic characteristics
and in functioning bring about the
same resuIts-namely, the grattti-
cation OF unfulfilled wishes re-
pressed into the unconscious or sub
conscious, owing to the unsuitable
ity OF such wishes for conscious
ness. Ntne-tenths Of our waking,
conscious acts are impelled by
such dreams, either waking or
night dreams, says Freud.
So much for the premise. Now
for the story.
Last winter the man referred to
had the privilege Of performing a
service for a young lady. It was a
thing that required diplomatic
handling, but he carried it out to
a successful conclusion. After
ward, he met her, reported results
and she appeared very grateful and
thanked him warmly. During their
conversation on this occasion, ne
s%peculated on how long their pla-
tonic friendship. so auspic1ously be-
gun,-for him at least-would last
and she remarked, smilingly, that
she would always be sister to him.
Tho remark, so lightly made by
her, however, had a pleasing sound,
liking her sincerely and unselfi5h-
ly, as he did and that night, as he
sat smoking in his room, he in
dulged in some very pleasant day
dreams, comparing her with his
own favorite sister, whom he knew
to be everything that was good and
sweet and kind. And long after he
went to bed, he lay awake and
thought many thoughts and finally
went to sleep.
Several times later they met, al
way by accident and their rela-
lions were always pleasant and
seemed likely to continue so.
But there came a day when, in
his presence. she cruelty Inundated
a young girl who, it happened, adj
mired her for her beauty and wit
and c%leverness. The act was Who'll
" uncalled for, md the man after
ward took occasion to remind her
OF a grievous fault that she pos
sessed, namely, a penchant for dis
regarding the feelings Of those who
loved her best. She passed 1t OF
with the remark that she was only
Joking with the girl and did not
mean what she said. Then came

Wrap It ups%9 said the customer,
without taking a second look at IT,.
BY the Freudian system, tie only
explanation of a mans strange act
in buying the necktie, the like o.
which he had never bought before,
and never will, he says, again, Is
that the salesman's suggestion Of
the happiness Of the mar about to
be married brought from the re-
cesses OF the customers memory,
from which he fondly imagined he
had banished all such thoughts and
desires, the mental pictures OF the
daydream OF last winter, in which
he SO strongly wished for a contin-
uance OF the friendship so pleas
antly begun and before he realized
what he was about, he had ordered
the tie wrapped up. And in further
proof there of, 1t was not until the
parcel was handed to him that he
learned the price.
