Gesture.

deStuTe.
Among the modern obligations OF a
presidential candidate is to pose for the
movies" in the act of delivering his
speech of acceptance. 1t would seem
dull and meaningless just to open his
mouth and let the audience infer that
he Is saying mouthful. SO he must
act his speech. He does so by gesture.
Actions speak not only louder but more
clearly than words. Action accompany
ing speech is called gesture" There is
a good deal to the psychology of gesture.
the only original form of conveying the
state of your feelings, which is the
more primitive side of the state of your
mind. The infant brandishing his arms
and legs is gesturing. It's story with
out words. When speech is acquired
the words tell the message, what you
want to say, but not how you feel as
you say 1t. For that you depend on
one phase of the gesture language that
is capable of refined development.
After the period of infancy We stop
geSturing quite so naturally with our
arms or legs--inainly with the legs
because we need them to stand on, and
with the arms because we often engage

turing with knife and fork in hand, so
natural is 1t to supplement and suit the
action to the word. Eloquent arms that
emphasize, appeal, extend. threaten.
embrace. pacify and convince add much
to the oratorical effect.
We recognize much of their conven-
tionality: certainly the presidential can
didate or any one else who is posing for
the movies has to manufacture his ges-
ture, for he isn't at the time in the
state of feeling that he is expressing
through his words and which would
d1ffuse or run over to his other un-
engaged muscles through the emotion
which accompanies his message.
Far less conventional is the range of
facial gesture that starts in the early
months of life and continues, though
1t also is taken up by the conventions.
Children laugh and smile naturally.
Adults do so more or less convention
ally. An engaging smile is also a polit-
lcal asset. But as we become expert
both In making and in reading gestures
we come to estimate how much of the
gestural action is worked up or assumed.
how much genuine and natural. We
may use words to conceal thought and
count on gesture AS an added cloak.
pie of the way in which the natural
and acquired fuse in much of our be-
havior. The general formula is that
behavior-the special form of your be-
havior or mine-is acquired on a nat
ural basis. The natural basis may 70
far or may go little way to determine
the total the finished product We all
smie by nature, but our society smile
we have acquired. We all shake hands
because We have been taught to do so,
but in the manner of our shaking hands
we may put in touch of real warm
feeling or make it cold, formal
gesture.
The variation Of gesture among races
and nations brings out its tempera-
mental side. For those people will use
gesture freely who are both subject to
strong emotions and whose racial or
national tradition it is to let such emo
tions have their way with the muscles.
So each people develops its own brand

Home Repairing of Fur Coats
BIZ LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

| If the coat has cuffs or collar from
which the required amount OF fur can
be replenished or If the coat will bear
| shortening and thus furnish the skins,
no expense is attached to the proce-
dure other than the purchase of a
package of needles for fur work. These
needles are not round like ordinary
ones, but triangular, having sharp
edges which pierce the skin rather than
tearing it, as the others are certain
of doing Do not think for a moment
The work, besides being difficult to
manage, will not be done correctly.
In piecing a fur garment one Of the
first essentials is to have the pile of the
fur in the patch coincide with that II
the original. Cut the worn portion
from the coat, having first gained access
to the under side by removing the lin
ing. All cutting of fur is done with a
sharp knife on the skin side Of the fur.
BY marking the area with fur needle
and basting cotton inserted from the
right side the portion is readily deSig-
mated on the wrong. A sharp penknife
is excellent for cutting the skin.
Rather than risk any difference be-
tween the size of the two pieces by hav-
ing the pattern piece slip, make cut
Ting from paper OF CAe eXdCL Size anu
secure it to the new skin and cut
around it. This is essential when a
hole is to be filled with new fur. The
exact contour of the hole must be
duplicated in a paper pattern, neither
larger nor smaller, as no overlapping Is
permitted in fur, unlike cloth, and fur
will pucker If the inserted piece Is
smaller.
In sewing fur lay the two pile sides
together. edge to edge, first seeing to
1t that the fur is laid back as far as
convenient from the edge. If any hairs
protrude, they can be displaced by
blowing on, the while holding edges
slightly apart. A heavy cotton or linen
thread is employed. Silk is undesir-
able. as it cuts the fur. Proceed in
sewing as in overcasting, each stitch
going directly through the two pieces
and the thread being at slant in
progressing to the next After reaching
the far edge it is customary to turn
the work and go in the opposite direc-
ton. using the same holes and having
the threads cross those of the previous
line of sewing.

A Sermon for Today
A Requested Exposition.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.


Text: Bear ye one another's bur-
dens. Gal. 62.
For every man shall bear his own
burden. Gal. 65.
A reader of these sermons requests an
exposition of these two verses. The
context points the way. Read the whole
passage, verses one to five, and you will
see that the subject under discussion
relates to the weaknesses and faults of
Christian believers, in regard to which
Paul urges that we be charitable and
considerate toward one another. When
a brother is overtaken in fault we are
not to deal harshly with him, but gent
ly, having in mind helping and restor-
ing him rather than .critizing and
condemning him. And we are to go
about this in the spirit of meekness, not
forgetting our own weaknesses and the
dealing with the faults of our brother
we are not to think so highly of our
selves as to assume a superior atti-
tude toward him.
The verses in question are interviewer
into this discussion. Evidently the prl-
mary reference in the words burdens"
and burden, "as used here" is to moral
infirmities and errors, and the sorrow
and shame and remorse which they
awaken in the offender. And what
Paul means Is that no one can have
occasion to claim moral superiority to
his neighbor, tor each mans self-eXarn-
ination will reveal infirmities enough
of his own, even though they may not
be the same as those of his neighbor.
His own burdens will absorb his atten-
ton and will leave him no time to
compare himself with others. Naturally,
having such a regard toward the hur-
den of his own infirmities, he will be
charitable toward the like burdens that
bear upon his neighbors and will be
ready to share these burdens with them
as occasion requireth.

Your Baby and Mine

Mrs. T. writes: II have baby girl,
year old last June, and boy of 4
years. The babys hands are always

Would letting her be chilly retard her
growth?
Just question about the boy. He
is a sweet happy. enthusiastic little
fellow and has ideas of his own,' and a
determination to have his own way
which find hard to combat. I don't
want him to lose his sweetness and yet
it is like pulling teeth to get him to
mind. He is obedient behind my back,
but when I call him to come then he
has numerous objections. try to an
