Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
The Personal Self.

Although any personality is a cluster
of selves, it is convenient for general
descriptive purposes to speak of two
kinds of Selves-the personal self and
the objective self.
You know the other fellow from
observation-that is, you see him as
an object. You know yourself not
merely as an object but as a subject
looking at yourself as an object. You
stand at one and the same moment
in the two fold position of an observer
and as something being observed. So
it matters not what others make you
out to be. That's only half of the
story, and the smaller half at that
You know that you are something
other, something private, something
personal This something is the per-
Sonal self. No one can know anything
about your personal self except you.
And you don't know as much as you
ought to know or as much as you
would like to know. And probably you
represent your personal self as some
thing other than you know it to be.
Argument about the personal self is
futile. Let us accept the fact and
merely ask where it comes from.
When you were child you supposed
this personal self was your body and
nOIIlIlS 6lSG. 1Uu 1ueLGA1lcO tAAC oClA
with the flesh.
AS you grew older you made few
changes in your estimate of your per-
sonal dimensions. You included the
clothing you wore, the pets you owned
and the toys with which you played.
And as you grew older you added, one
after another, the sentiments and
values you attached to everything.
Even the memories of all these things
became in time a part of that personal
self which you alone knew most about.
The biggest factor in your personal
self grows out of your social surround
ings. Most people do about what is
expected of them and nothing more.
You identify your personal self with
what you think other people take you
to be.
So the history of any personal self
is gradual growth from the body alone
to the society in which one family set
ties down. The egoist is made over in,
say, Is years into a social citizen.
Otherwise you remain child.

A friend has moved to the city from

Unity of good is at least dimly under

Tomorrow is a day for intellectual

The clergy and the churches certainly
are to become factors in world reforms

If there is anything in astrology, then
the masses are responsible for the reign

Women tomorrow should be able to

Persons whose birthdate is tomorrow

The Expense of Committing.

A young husband in our midst was
astounded to learn that committing
would cost him over 5000 a year in
railroad, bus, or trolley fares. This
was no small item in his budget. He
had just been raised in salary, but the
expense of committing to the suburban
spot his wife had chosen amounted to
IL per cent of his income.
The expense of committing cannot
be reckoned entirely in transportation
costs.
Like every item in life. committing
has its advantages and disadvantages
Some OF these latter are emphasized
with a few of us. and tend to make
committing improbable for our fam
Nies. That is why we dwell in town.
Committing is profitable chiefly to
the young wife with a growing family
to feed, clothe, educate. and care for.
It means divorcing herself from the
worries of city streets, from having to
! provide guardians for the children,
from having to pay higher prices for
living space.
The amount that a woman may save
in more reasonable rent or mortgage
charges alone may justify the expense

Ter husband or her

self
In the suburb a home usually means
some grounds. Grounds mean playing
space for children. They also mean
a saving on the usual Summer vacation
expenses, since it would be pointless
to desert ones country place in its
most favorable season.
Even though the cost of carrying
ones suburban home and of amortiz-
ing the mortgage be as high or higher
than city rent, it is an investment, not
mere expenditure. Committing eX-
penses must be counted as part of the
carrying charges" since one cannot
reside at home without getting there.
Perhaps an added economy is the
fact that the country or suburb affords
more of chance for communal life,
and so reduces the cost of entertain
ment and diversion. The expense of
committing is not a single item. 1t
must be considered in the light of ex-
penSes in general.
Committing offers most, ordinarily,
to those with families of small chill
dren. To them it offers real econo-
mics and real comforts and pleasures.
To others its advantages and disad-
vantages are various and deserve con-

The Autumn Complexion.

If you have tanned even little this
Summer, you want to get over the in
evitable yellow state as fast as possible
so as to have your skin clear and
smooth for the Winter. Fresh sunburn
is charming, but when it begins to fade
it is as alluring as potatoes when they
begin to get cold.
You must go through the fading out
stage, but you can hasten it and you
can cover it up. Buy yourself two ounces
each of fresh peroxide of hydrogen, pure
glycerine and witch hazel, and mix them
all together. Keep them in dark glass
bottle, for anything with peroxide in it
must be kept out of the air and the
light. At night, after you have cleaned
the skin and rinsed and dried 1t, rub
this mixture over the face and neck and
any sunburned part, and let 1t dry on
and stay on all night. This is very
bleaching; each of the three ingredients
bleach, yet the gylcerin keeps the whole
from being too drying.
During the day. use vanishing cream
of the very finest quality, and powder.
After you've washed the skin in the
morning, put on the cream, using 1t as
powder base. Buy the very finest, for
the poorest kinds have o drying effect;
