WHAT THE EYE MAY SEE.

Psychologists OF this country are finding in
the barbaric beads and colors of the new sea-
sons fashions reflex of conditions in Europe.
Because the death toll of the war has left men
in the minority, they tell us, women are forced
to resort to primitive methods to attract their
mates. Hence beads, and bugles. and bangles,
and spangles, and riots Of color, always with
preponderance OF red as the hue of hues
that most intrigues the masculine eye.
Here in America where women are still the
pursued in courtship days and have no need of
added artifice to keep men dangling on their
wills, the new fashions are accepted simply
new fashions, and life is vastly frightened
by their coming. Color blazss through the big
department stores, glows in countless riches OF
tint and tones in the small shops, AMI illumi-
mates the advertising columns of the newspa-
pers with "a black and white counting up OF all
the countless shades and hues of fabric and
furnishings and all the innumerate things that
money may buy. ---
1t used once to be said Of the American
people that they were afraid of color and that
their costumes and their homes were drab and
depressing for the want of it. We are not SO
immature now, not steadily conventional
We take this gift of the gods for all it is worth
nowadays, and find the world rather lovelier
place to live in because of it.

"AIN'T NATURE WONDERFUL ?,'

Michigan man paid $4,000 for a straw
berry plant few days ago. There's saying
which we hear once in while about nature
being wonderful. But that is not what made
this certain strawberry plant worth $50 900
to Harry Hockhill of Conrad, Iowa, nor the req
son why the Michigan company was willing to
pay that price for the right to that particular
variety of strawberry.
Nature never produced fruit or a vege-
table which could by any stretch Of the imag-
ination be considered worth large money to
man until first the mind of man had been made
to apply the laws Of the sciences which man
only has discovered to its Improvement and
development. Every fruit, every vegetable,
every grain. which man is using, is the result
OF mans patient and persistent work in breed
ing larger and better. This is being proved
every day.
1t is so with all the things which nature
has provided to sustain the life of man and
which man has developed SO that they are
more useful and therefore more valuable to
man than nature ever could make them. Ma
ture is wonderful. but nothing is so wonderful
as the brain Of man.

YOUR ..FRoNT."

What impression do you make on other peo-
pie-particularly when you are introduced to
strangers? And what Is your attitude or
front" in trying to get something you want?
Here's tip along that line, from Clemenceau
He pauses in a speech and says: Il will tell
you that am rather timid-slightly." Judg-
ing from the arguments he starts, slightly" is
right But powerfully effective on an audi
ence is Clemenceau's confidential admission
that he feels trifle timid. In this age Of
rush em- off their-feet" aggressiveness, tim
idity and shyness are rare qualities. As in
Clemenceau's case, they appeal as craving for
affection, for attention, for respect.
While shyness is rare among the bulk Of
the people, it is becoming quite the fashion
among the shrewd and cunning, to affect an air
OF modesty and meekness- Once the speaker
forcefully thumped his fist on the table and
declared, II tell you so-and-so and know what
I'm talking about" The same speaker now
says in effect: my great reputation for wis
dom probably is an over-estimate OF my humble
self. But, from all can learn after patient
and thorough investigation, 1t seems to me-,
ETC., etc. The psychology Of this is that it ap-
peals to reason and to the hearers vanity, by
deluding him into the belief that he is asked
to pass judgment
The "know-it-all" attitude, backed by rush
enl-off- their-feet" tactics, breeds resentment
and even dsdain. Statesmen, first to sense a
change in popular psychology, are shifting from
aggressiveness to an oily, cunning approach"
to what they're after. In counting a woman, a
man makes faster progress by geut1eness,
smooth tact and the shrinking that attracts
sympathy. AS soon as man falls in love, he
begins moaning to his lady-love, that he has
had sad past, more trouble than his share,
and that no one seems to understand and SYM
pathize with him. The English are VIGOROUSLY
successful in diplomacy-because they handle
situations with velvet gloves and soft words,
more effective than buster. threats and force.
You cannot get sympathy by waving an axe.
But you can get it by pointing mournfully to
the ak and admitting that you dread to use
it. Lincoln said something about molasses
catching more flies than vingar. He should
have added, "than fly-swatter."

WHEN YOU BUY.

There's one retail store for every 40 fami-
lies in America William G. Shepherd tells
this to convention of advertising men. One
groceryman in 20 fails each year. In the long
run, according to John Wanamaker, only one
man in Is who goes in to any kind of merchan-
dising makes success Of it. A fine thing to be in
business for yourself-your own boss. But do
lot of thinking before you try it.
If you, later on, start store, what line Of
goods should You select, to make you the most
money! This is your first thought, and an i'm
portant one But the number of dollars taken
in by merchant does not always determine
how much profit he can make On the average
says Shepherd, to run store takes II cents
out Of each dollar received by the grocer. Sim
liar figures are: 10 cents on 81 for butchers,
rs cents for hardware dealers, "a cents for
clothing sellers and rs cents for shoe dealers.
The figures vary. according to the amount of
sales As business grows, overhead expense
is carried on the shoulders Of an increasing
number of dollars. This means, less overhead
for each dollar to carry-provided overhead
doesn't increase at a faster rate than gross
sales. which it often does.
Shepherd calls America "a nation of counter
Jumpers" One worker in each 10 is engaged
In selling something. And two-thirds of these
100000 sales clerks are engaged in selling
food and clothing. For each three farmers
there's one person behind a counter For
each four factory employees there's a store
clerk or store manager or store owner SELL
ing the things produced. The trend seems to
be toward a point where every one will be dis
tributing commodities. nobody producing.
That point OF course. never will be reached.
But the tendency toward it is strong enough
to emphasize that our greatest problem of eco
nomics is one Of distribution rather than pro-
duction-

REJuvENATED WEDDING RINGS

1t has become rather unpleasant habit on
the part OF some people to figure On q lady's
age by the width Of her wedding rinx-a prac-
tice that certainly should be frowned upon.
And besides. all the girls who married under
certain style Of wedding ring were not ex-
actly the same age anyway.
The lady who has fairly well retained her
figure has done her best with her naturally
nice complexion. and has not permitted her
husband to become unduly ia. or obviously and
irretrieveably bald. may not be particularly
pleased to have her wedding ring state to the
wise ones that she was married in the nineties.
So art and trade have taken up the ques-
ton. There need be no further clever guessing
on the wedding rings unspoken word as to
ones age. For the ring Of the nineties may be
done over by processes that may approximate
the making over Of faces that il sometimes
INDUCED in. The hand that wears it may with
er bit, but the ring, being of imperishable
metal, may be remodeled so that 1900 may be-
come 1921 If necessary-and of course every
one will be completely fooled; no one will
guess that the years have passed at all. Time
will be defeated and womans eternal youth
will be reasserted in characters of gold. The
rejuvenated wedding ring What thoughts
must arise with those words. Perhaps those
words mark an improvement over the times

perhaps not.
