The Minds Of Boys and Girls.

John and Jane are different. They
know it and show it; we know II and
take account of it; the entire affairs of
the world and the arrangements Of
life must be adjusted to the differences
of Jane and John. When John makes
up his mind. he has a Johnish way
of doing it, and a certain contempt for
James Janish way of going through
the same ceremony, and Jane returns
the compliment. But the school marks
and special tests may give a hint as
to how a large enough sample OF
Johns will compare in mental per-
formance with like sample of Jane S.
This is what Prof. Thorndike of
Teachers College. Columbia Univer-
sity. found. John does better in rapid
movements of finger and arm. in &C.
curacy of movement. in responding to
n signal, in physics and chemistry and
in ingenuity. But John doesn't COM
pletely outrank Jane; in fact, il you
select group with high records in
these special abilities there will be two
James for three Johns in every five.
Jane does better than John in man,
ing colors and sorting cards, in check
ing selected things In a list, in spelling
English and foreign languages. In
these special abilities there will be
three James and two Johns In each
group of five. In all the rest of their
performances, including mathematics
and the average marks in studies, in
general information, in memory and
sense.powers, there is very little differ
ence, and in other things just a little
more. So that is about how different
a picture of Johns school-and-intelli-
gence mind would look from a picture
of James If you took up a record by
chance. you'd be taking long chance
in guessing whether it was the record
Of a John or Jane. You would have
no doubt, despite a boyish bob and the
fact that in college plays some Johns
make up as superb James, which was
John and which was Jane by photo
graphs of their faces or bodies.
If you turn to the emotional John
and the emotional Jane. and go by
tests supplemented by the judgments
of teachers, relatives and friends, you
have as Johnish traits, first, independ
ence, and second. a sense of humor;
also, though less so. self-consciousness
and temper; while James most distinc.
tive trait is her interest in persons

cannot do better than to choose one

In choosing the color Of your neg

evening frock of American Beauty
rose color. lest you make yourself un'
comfortably conspicuous.
Or you might avoid certain shades
Of lemon yellow or yellowish green for
fear they would be discordant and off
key with the clothes of other women.
But providing these shades so well
with the decora tions of your rooms
then there is nothing else to consider
for negligees, save whether you like
them and find them becoming.
