Everyday Psychology
Masculinity VS.. Femininity.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.

According to some recent psycholo-
gists, all individual differences go back
ultimately to sex differences-male and
female Some think that these two
irreducible principles and their manv
secondary characteristics are inherited.
Others say they are acquired
But these sex differences do exist
regardless of opinions about their
origin. Some men are more feminine
than others; some women, more mascu-
line than others. The line of demarca-
ton between femininity and mascu-
Unity is not so closely drawn as it was
once supposed to be. Moreover, the
traits are not as easily recognized as
some people imagine.
The outstanding masculine traits are:
A tendency to spend money freely to
gamble, to be aggressive, impatient. self
centered The male can't stand much
pain, devotes a lot of time to thinking,
breaks easily under misfortune, tells
his troubles freely, wants everything he
sees, loves to be party to conquest
and boasts about his adventures and
achievements, Is noted for his vanity.
Picture, If you can, these same traits
in terms of femininity. A woman is
not a spendthrift, takes no chances.
does not gamble. is n-aggressive,
always patient, never self-centered. A
woman can stand lot of pain, does
little or no thinking, can stand. lot
of misfortune, keeps her troubles to
herself, does not want everything she
Sees" doesn't care to be a party to a
conquest, is reticent about her conquests
and achievements, is not given to
vanity.
OF course, these are pure traits be-
longing to the male and female re-
spectively as such. Whenever you find
exceptions, you find an overlapping Of
masculinity and femininity.
Rate yourself on these 13 points, al
lowing value of 10 units for each as
a perfect score. If your total is less
than 100 points. your may conclude that
either by nature or by nurture you are

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

1t Is nothing to lay movie snow on a
three or four acre tract. One man,
walking through such set, said he
actually got chilblains.
When they're not making movies
their minds are wandering in a movie
groove most of the time. Buddy Rogers
has celluloid album of famous movie
ties. He has a small movie camera and
at various times has snapped many of
the village folk in their hours of ease.
Clara Bow is another amateur movie
fan, operating her own small camera.
Bebe Daniels has had a longing to
direct pictures for some time now, and
has studied this end of the business
closely.
John Gilbert wants to direct, but the
chances are against him while his S.
A. is so popular with the box Office.
Dick BarthelmesS is another would
be director who is tired of the haunting
eye of the camera and would like to
turn it on some other victim.
Lionel Barrymore is directing, and
successfully, too. He has managed to
make the best talkies, the best silentS,
the best directed talkies Zone hears),
and when he was on the legitimate
stage there were some magnificent per-
formances to his credit. There must
be something in this thing called talent,
after all.
Local beauty parlors thrive. The con-
tagion of good grooming and the pres
ence of much youth and beauty are
responsible. But when middle-aged
ladies emulate the great Garbo by cut
ting the hair in long, lanky bob and
ear, it's just too much.

Giving Pleasure With the Cards
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

see the vast array of cards that surfeit
those who live in big cities. Cards are
treasured by them. 1t is easy to 1nlag-
inc the pleasure to be had from pack
age, though not received on a holiday.
| In far distant countries, where mis-
sionaries work and where teachers,
doctors and nurses spend their lives in
helping the unenilghtened and the ILL.,
cards are luxury. They are treasures.
We can have no conception OF the
eagerness with which even one card is
welcome bv some little child who has
never seen such gorgeous pictures, or
| by the weary woman who has little of
brightness in her life.
To all who would lend helping hand
| in this pleasant work Of distributing
! Christmas and other holiday cards, let
me suggest ways and means. Find out
from the nearest hospital, especially
children's hospital. if it would like your
array of cards. This is local work, and
others may already have assured the
staff of plenty. If so, turn to some
other avenue.
Get in touch with the missionary So
cieties, both home and foreign, that
belong to your church and get addresses
from them. 1t will be strange, indeed,
if they do not welcome your kindly
offer with a list of many places.
other avenues through which you can
get in touch with persons wanting just
the very things you have to give are
the Salvation Army, the Volunteers OF
America and the Associated Charities.
All can enter into this work without
any cost except postage and without
any labor except that of doing up the
parcels. If the cards, picture postals,
discarded books, etc, are not delivered
in person, they must have secure wrap
pings and be marked "old cards" If
that is what they are. One end of the
package must be left unsealed for postal
inspection of the contents, if it chooses
to make such inspection. Cards, ETC.,
sent to foreign ports or to far distant
home towns should be wrapped in cloth.
An old salt bag is just the thing to
put the cards in. Wash it we'll first
and tie up the open end securely. Then
wrap in stout brown paper and tie up as
any parcel to be mailed.
Some persons keep their cards until
another holiday is nearing before send
ing them out on their friendly journey.
1t may be mentioned that writing when
sent to foreign countries is almost as
interesting to the recipients as the pic
lures themselves. Here We find interest
in japanese, Chinese script, etc. What
the messages are is unimportant; it is
the writing that is intriguing.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December ~.

Although two adverse aspects are seen
in the days horoscope, the dominant
aspects are beneflc, according to
astrology.
Under this sway it is important to
exercise tact, especially where social
engagements are concerned, for women
may be easily offended.
This is not an auspicious rule fol-
business transactions of importance. 1t
is better for closing what belongs to the
past.
The sway should be invigorating and
should be auspicious for routine work in
the home as well as the shop or office
Newspapers should benefit, for there
will be extraordinary interest in then.
at this time and advertising will be
heavy, despite the poSt-holiday condl-
tionS.
Small deceptions may be prevalent
under this direction of the stars, which
inclines both men and women to crave
appreciation.
1t is not a favorable day for entering
into engagements to marry, for the con-
tract may be easily broken while this
configuration has influence.
Women are warned to beware OF
speculation at this time when they Will
have many temptations to invest Christ
mas money.
The rule also is supposed to incite
small social r1valries and enmities that
are unfortunate in small communities.
Business and professional women have
the augury of year Of real progress.
Among them many will gain fame and
several will rise as able flnanciers.
Travel will continue to be more COM
mon among all classes of persons than
ever before and in favorable climates
there will be gain in the number OF
airplane passengers, astrologers predict.
Persons whose birth date it Is probably
will gain much In the coming year,
which seems to promise much prosper
ity and many benefits.
Children born on that day probably
will have very definite talents. Mathe-
maticians are born under this sign,
which makes for material success. The
subjects of Capricorn are efficient in
serving humanity and adapted to the
carrying out of ambitious projects.

Use a thick piece of beef liver weigh

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December 26-
Some former stage directors are begin
ming to learn what tyrant habit can
be. Talkies have revealed to them that
they have been accustomed TO walk
noisily up and down, rap the floor with
their canes, jingle coin, whistle softly
through their teeth and perform any
number of like tricks while rehearsals
were in progress.
If you've been used to tapping with
your cane, as Bob Milton has, imagine
your embarrassment when you try to
direct without said cane. If you tap 1t,
the villainous mike will pick up the tap
and drop the voices, so the result will
sound like a brisk dialogue over ma
chine-gun fire.
In a recent all-talkie Aim the tech
nical staff tried lovely new sound eff
fectS When the lady in fiery emo
tional moment dashed to her desk and
began to scribble off a note some tech
nician got the idea it would be clever
to slip q microphone in the drawer OF
the desk so the audience would get the
sound of the pen tearing across the
paper and the state of the ladyS emo
ton thus be deftly defined.
The night of the premiere, as one OF
the head executives came out Of the
theater he was greeted by the chief of
