in the north could only wear itself

Reason for Webster's
Preference for Blue

Daniel Webster went to Dart
mouth college in a homespun suit,
Of which probably every thread was
tarded, spun and woven by his
mothers hands from the wool of
their own sheep. It was a dyed-in-
the wool suit and the color was in
digo blue.
In the South butternut was used,
but though the Yankee danes knew
all about the uses of butternut
bark, and the slate color that lay
in the sumach berries and bark of
white maple, and were not unac-
quainted with the various dyes that
could be made to yield through the
agency of vitriol and alum and cop.
peras to "set" them fast, the uni
versal standby in New England was
the dye pot, par excellence, that
stood in the chimney corner of
every kitchen In that region.
So Webster was fitted out in in
digo blue from collar to ankle. Be
fore reaching Hanover there came
on drenching vain. The suit held
its own, but it parted with enough
dye to tinge Dapiel blue from head
to foot.
Webster had liberal stratum of
sentiment in his mental makeup
and for some reason the color of
his youth remained his favorite
wear through life. He wore blue
coats to his dying day. If any one
ever saw him in one of a different
color the fact has not been made
Of record.

medicine. at least. women arc more
Crcdulous than men.
Women make up the bulk of pa
tronagc for nostruns in the health
field. for bogus psychologists and
ryschoanalysts and for faith hcalcrs
Of all sorts.
In an endeavor to make a scion
tific study of the question numerous
investigators have analyzed the re-
sponscs of women under various
conditions. OF course. there are
many differences between the sexes
from the mental point of view.
Points Of Comparison
Practically all Investigators have
found women in general superior to
men in the matter of learning and
using languages, Boys seem to &c SUI
perior TO girls in questions OF math-
cmatics. whereas women seem to be
in general superior 70 men in mem
exceed women and girls in ability
to manipulate mechanical contriv-
ances.
For years it has been understood
| that women are more likely to trust
to intuition than are men and that
| they are likely to make judgements
based on their personal situations
rather than on abstract factors.
In a study made of 267 boys and
cJ0 girls in an American college,
Conklin found that 40 per cent of
| the boys and Sc per cent Of the girls
had superstitions in which they real
| ly believed.
| Boys appear TO outgrow supersti-
lions at earlier years than did girls.
and girls had more superstitions per
individual than did boys. Fifteen per
cent Of the girls and only per cent
of the boys indicate any belief in for
tune telling.
| In a recent invf stigation made by
Lehman and Witty, more than 5000
| children were asked to check from
a list Of 200 play activities those in
which they had voluntarily engaged
during the proceeding week One OF
the items in the list was telling for
tunes or having fortunes told.
I it was found that girls partici-
ratr in fortune telling activities
more generally than do boys, par

Guiding Your
"a Child "a
TOYS


Every Christmas. year after year.
parents spend large quantities Of
money buying toys that won't play
with their children, toys that are
cunningIy contrived and deliberately
constructed, which appeal to the
adult, but which were never made
for real play.
Grown ups walk into the stores
and are dazzled out of sound judg-
mcnt by the charm Of myriads Of
much too clever toys that smother
the child's imagination by their
ready perfection.
The dolls house furnished even
to its tiny bed covers lamps and
curtains. the little grocery store
with fully stocked shelves. tiny
counter. and a pair of scales. the
complete kitchen with icc-box, stove
and sink. perfect even TO its faucets
for hot and cold water. none of
them. delightful as they are, are
toys which the child can really play
with. They are all finished; there is
nothing LETT for the young house
keeper 10 do or make.
Toys should stir the child to ac-
tivity. mental and physical. skates.
scooters, kiddie cars. veloCipcdcs. OK
press wagons. slods. see-saWs and
balls Of all sizes are fine for physi-
cal play. Blocks. paints, scissors.
paste. Crayons clay beads to string.
simple puzzles are ineNhaustihle play
materials and are fine training for
hand and eye and mind. They offer,
too. fine food for tho imagination.
Small housekeeping implements.
Of the right size for the child TO use
hrooms. carpet swecp"rs. pots pans.
spoons. irons. wash boards. wash
tubs are good because they help the
little girl to imagine herself grown
mp and able to do all sorts OF things
like mother--a wholesome attitude
we'll worth cultivating.
Garden tools. hammers nails and
vice are fine because they encour-
age construction. Dolls. teddy bears.
and the host OF lovable fuzzy crea-
lures on sale are good because the
children love them dearly and be-
cause they serve as play mates.
