Mrs. Harry S. New is one of the
best gowned of the women of the
Capital City. The perfection Of ac-

of congeniality between her and Mrs.

the mutual attraction that resulted in
such long friendship between the two.

the famous Scottish clan, after grad

Nervous Trouble.

Many correspondents seek to con-
suit nerve specialists apparently be-
cause they feel nervous"
We ought to have an institution
with kindly attendants, plenty of sun
shine, vagrant puffs of fresh air, ef-
1cient radio equipment and unexce!-
led cuisine, and confine in it all per-
sons purporting to be nerve special
lists. / should be glad to serve on
the eleemosynary staff and keep
every inmate on standing order of
eggs and milk, and glycerophosphates
Of iron, lime and sodium, pc, and
bedtime doses OF medinal, and 1
should be only too happy to make
rounds every Monday and Friday aft
ernoon and exhort the inmates to be-
lieve that day by day we are getting
better and better. Perhaps that
would be eleemosynary psychology,
a notoriously impracticable thing, but
even so, I'd be willing to try it.
Diseases Of the mind, including con-
ditions popularity called insanity as
well as mental disturbances which
are dubbed psycoses, neuroses, hys-
terra. hypochondria, feeble minded
ness and the like. constitute a field
of practice for a specialist. The field
is known as psychiatry, and the Spe-
cialist is a psychiatrist pronounced
sikh i-atrist or, when the case comes
before a court, an alenist. In the
present system of Jurisprudence an
alienist may be defined as a psychia-
trist whose opinions are subject to
check. The system has given US such
grim jokes as "brainstorm" and de
mentia Americana" 1t makes the
medical witness nearly, if not quite,
as biased as the lawyers are. But
that seems to be the way Justice
likes 'em.
When a practicing psychiatrist
holds himself out as being a ''neu-
rologist," too, he catches a great deal
of business which would otherwise
not reach his door; just as the ear,
nose and throat specialist does who
holds himself out as an oculist, too.
There are a few eye conditions which
probably depend on throat or nose
affections, but that isn't the reason
why SO many ear, nose and throat
doctors include eye disease in their
repertoire.
Sometimes an insane or feeble
minded person really appears "nerv-
ous,"' or a person who feels merry
Gus" really proves to be suffering
with some psyChosis. but neither is
that the reason why many psychia
trsts bid for patrons who profess to
be nervous"
This adjective nervous" is one of
the most pernicious in the English
language. 1t doesn't mean a blessed
thing. 1t is soporific word. as de-
praving as dope, stultifying in its
influence upon the conduct and well
fare of the victim, an indefensible
artifice for a physician to acquiesce
in, except to protect a patient. A
good doctor may lie for but not to
his patient.
Neuralgia, neuritis, paralysis of va
rious kinds and other affections in

Ma got another letter from Ant

Herbit, saying in it. Deer Pawleen.
You know little Herbit is neerly 3
yeers old now so we decided 1t was
time to awaken his little moral sense,
of wich at present he seems to have
little or none and duzzent seem to
know the meening Of the werd obey.
In fact We have bin training him by
telling him to do jest the opposite of
wat we reely wunt him to do.
For instants if l say to him, Now

shilly your ears, he will Immediately
start to poster me till 1 wash them
for him, vile If 1 Jest went about it
in the reguler way both the child
and myself would get totally Exhaust
ed before the job was done.
However. the time has come to
teech him little moral responsible
ity, especially on the subject of the
sacredness of private property, wich
is subject on witch his little mind
has bin perfect blank. l used a
box of chocolits for the object lessin,
saying to him very seriously, Now

mama and it would be very nawty
of you to take even one peece with

terry to me even if it hadn't of bin

another hart to hart tawking to and
left the box in another place and
left the room agen. This time wen
l reterned ony peeces had disap-
peared. Wich seemed to be a tern for

lecture and put the box in still an

HOW 1T STARTED
"They Shall Not Pass"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

These famous words, uttered by the
French Gen. Petain a t the Marine, will
live forever as an expression of
patriotism and of determination and
steadfastness of purpose that is bound
to win.
But, although the French general
has put the words, as it were, into the
mouth of posterity, it was ages before
his time that they were supposed to
have been uttered for the first time.
On that occasion, too, the exclamation
was with reference to home soil, but
In the consensus of opinion it was III
a less praiSeWorthy sense.
1t is in the Bible that we find the
first expression of the sentiment t
'-They shall not pass" In the Old
Testament, in Numbers, chapter Xxx,
there is the plea addressed by the
desert weary Israelites to the King of
Edom to permit the wandering tribes
passage through his domain. And in
verse IS we find his answer: Thou
shalt not pass by me, lest / come out
against thee with the sword"

sweaters. And her blouses, mother!
Perfectly lovely. She has a whole
shelfful of beautiful shoes and two
dozen pairs of silk stockings, besides
all her wool ones. why"
The mother, looking a bit troubled,
interrupted.
We'll, dear, you know it is about
all dad can do to send you to college
at all, with Tom studying law, Sylvia
taking a long course in nursing, and
the little ones coming on later. We
want to dress you as we'll as we can
and give you as large an allowance
as possible, but you must not try to
keep up with girls Of wealth, like
your friend Evelyn. 1t will be hard
to go without all the pretty things
and give up expensive parties and
dances, but, after all, your education
must come first, and that is about all
your father can manage"
This mother, like many another,
was battling with one of the most
difficult problems Of her daughters
life. College means to most girls not
only study, but good times-popular-
ity, soroities, extra money for spreads
and dutch treats" Not only this,
but the college girl is called upon to
contribute to special funds, class par
ties, club dues and a hundred other
calls. Inc IuoUeSL peTSOndl dllOW-
ance of the average girl must cover
all these things, unless her father can
supply her with considerable extra
money. And in many cases the actual
tuition and living expenses are a Sc
we're drain upon him.
Hard as it is, girl should bravely
face this necessity for going without
many of the 1uxuries that other girls
enjoy, and it is the mothers difficult
task to show her that she is really
getting the best Of college life when
she devotes herself to her studies
and not to extravagant gayeties. An
occasional letter, indicating the sacri-
fees that both father and mother are
making so that she may get her edu-
cation, will strengthen the daughters
loving loyalty and appreciation of
what is being done for her. If father
and mother have to go without, so
can she. And their consolation is
that she is building up a character Of
which they may we'll be proud.

Resetting of Wrist Watch in Fob
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Fickle fashion has given up her
wrist watch, and instead is wearing
her watch hanging from the lapel of
her coat or from her belt. InlS
should certainly not be taken to mean
that wrist watches will be in any ap-
preciably less demand than they have
been, nor that to wear a wrist Watch
is now to brand one as unfashion-
able.
But, of course, wrist watches came
into fashion as more or less of fad
a fad that was made especially ap-
pealing during the war days because
the men of the A. E. +. favored them
But, in the estimation of the fashion
able French woman, no space on the
arm can now be spared to a mere
watch. She has SO many bracelets to
show that the watch seems an in
truder. Short gloves have persisted
with the short sleeve, for other
reason, of course, than this desire to
display ones bracelets, and the rule
seems to be to wear ones entire col
lection regardless of their compat-
bility. Very valuable bracelets are
worn along with the cheaper sort
colored glass bangles with bracelets
of jewels set in platinum. The glass
bracelets, however, will doubtless
soon go out of favor, since publicity
haSs been given to the numerous in
stances of cut wrists resulting from
the breaking of these glass bracelets.
The erstwhile wrist watch may be
done over in more fashionable
guiSe. The smart Partisan wears 1t
from the lapel of her coat or frock.
1t is in fob" effect, but in this in
stance the watch forms the pendant.
Since wide leather belts have become
so highly favored watches are again
worn at the belt. But we do not tuck
them into the belt once we did, be-
cause belts are not worn tight
enough. Instead there is pocket in
the wide belt in which the watch is
slipped and from the watch hangs a
ribbon at the end of which is an or
namental pendant
If you really do prefer wearing
your watch on your wrist and want
to wear it with other bracelets, then
select one of the new wrist watches,
that really amounts to a wide silver
bracelet set with tiny watch at one
side.

What TodayMeans to You
Virgo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Today's planetary aspects counsel
careful watching and much discre-
ton. They do not favor any signal
departures from your usual routine.
but indicate happiness and a freedom
from worry if you endeavor to main
tain poise and equilibrium. even
though little annoyances should arise
Especially should you watch your
step in the family or social circle
haste to reply will cause friction
unless this ordinary tendency is
curbed and kept in check.
A child born today will suffer from
many ailments in its infancy. but
given careful nutrition and ample
outdoor atmosphere, these conditions
will be successfully converted into a
well-developed and healthy maturity
It's character will be more sOubborn
than plant; it's disposition more
peevish than cheerful; it's mentality
acute and progressive 1t should be
urged, and, if necessary, compelled
to participate in childhoods sports
and pastimes, as frequent association
with children of its own age will ma
terially minimize the handicaps to
which, under other circumstances, il
will be subjected.
If today is your birthday, you have
not been as successful as your inher-
ent good qualities would justify, be-
cause of your lack of judgment.
Without good Judgment. you may
have and exercise every other talent
and virtue. and yet fall short of sue
cess. Even your ceaseleSs industry
will prove of little avail, for if you
are following the wrong track, it is
obvious that you will never reach the
right goal. Genius itself, unless di-
rected by judgment, will accomplish
no lasting results.
You lack the power the judge af-
fairs correctly, the power to criti-
else economic trends, the power to
sense coming developments, the pow
er to size up conditions of today, and
to judge what the morrow promises
to bring forth.
Judgment comprises more than abil-
ity, more than knowledge, more than
deft skill, more than Conscientious
ness. You have all these. but are yet
lacking in judgment.
If you will analyze the mistakes
which you now know you have made
you will undoubtedly find that you
jumped at your conclusions too has
tily, or proudly ignored the advice OF
others. Quick decisions are some
times successful, but very often are
regretted. TOO many cooks spoil the

than one"
