Eminent PsuchOloqist.

TOYS may be divided into two general types.
There is the timid, shy, retiring kind Of
boy and there is the robust. adventurous
daring sort
Since a mans success in life depends largely
upon his self-assurance and fearlessness in over
coming obstacles and in struggling ahead, the
aggressive boy does not find it so difficult to
adjust himself when he grows to mans estate.
On the other hand, too much toughness of
mental fibre is as bad as too much tenderness.
An oveT-confident and fearless boy may very
easily become uncouth and overbearing to a
degree that makes him an Objectionable human
being.
Such a boy, therefore, must be toned down a
bit. He must be made to learn the advantages
TO himself as well as to others of kindness, con-
sideration. gentleness. respect. love and sentiment.

being viii essay its strength and
with repeated trials and successes
the boy will blossom forth equally
as certain OF himself as the rest.
Often. indeed. a timid boy sveatu-
ally becomes an overbold man. The
pendulum swings as far in the op-
posite direction toward boidness as
IL Jagged behind in childhood toward
shyness.
Such a possible development must
also be watched and guarded against.
EXaggeration OF any character trait,
good or bad. Is detrimental no matter
who may possess II. J.
Mothers should not stress the
physical side Of their love too much.
Observation-Disclosures az affection may
have pernicious effects, making the
growing son so attached to his
mother that IL will seriously inter-
fere with his ability to fall In love.

ROmances of the Worlds
Great Lovers BY cozETTE Douglass
Catherine ! of Russia and Peter the Great.

Catherine with great ceremony in
I'LL.
Whatever Catherine lacked in edu-
cation. she more than made UP for
in her natural shrewdness and COM
mon sense. She was remarkably
~good-natured under the most excep-
tionally difficult situations and pos
sessed OF remarkable courage. In
deed. Peter insisted that Catherine
be ever at his side. She even accom-
panied him during the campaign Of
Pruth, and Peter insisted hat his
success IN that disastrous war was
due largely 10 her courage and sang
froid.
But her name was not destined 70
be free from scandal. After she had
been proclaimed Peters uccesso
she vas threatened with ruin by the
alleged discovery OF an affair be-
tween herself and William Mons, her
valet de chambre. Catherine main
tanned il was nothing more than an
innocent Irritation, and Peter ev.-
IDENTIFY believed her. for she did not
lose his favor. However. Mons was
beheaded and his head. preserved in
spirits, was placed in the Empress
apartment.
This may have been Peters little
idea OF a joke. but II evidently did
not disturb either his love or Cath
crimes unfailing good nature. for 1t
Is recorded that she attended Peter
10 the last.
On his death she was proclaimed
Empress. but reigned but two short
years after Peters death.

Charm of Wood Furniture.


NvER-STUFFED furniture is
passing slowly from the more
artistic homes and wooden
furniture Is taking its place. The
appreciation OF wood died out dur
ing the over-stuffed period. but now
II Is asserting itself again.
The Anglo-Saxon oak age. so called
because oak was the principal wood
in use for furniture during that
period. has left many examples
a m = antiques - sixteenth n d
seventeenth century pieces that are
rare possessions and bring high
prices today. Many are cabinet
pieces brought here as models for
reproduction.
With the building OF the model
houses the Colonial style Is most
popular and the old oak furniture
suits them perfectly. The solid oak
chairs were richly cushioned TO make
them comfortable. the shaped and
polished backs seemed to lit ones
anatomy and did not need cushions.
This furniture was made beautifully
by expert cabinet makers who knew
little about glue. nails and cheap
finishes. but who understood the art
OF mortiSe and tenon construction in
addition TO the value Of finely
grained and marked wood placed as
facings where 1t would show and be
most appreciated.
The art Of inlay work and trim.
ming wooden pieces with contrasting
woods Is shown in some fine old
pieces OF oak found by dealers in
England. where the search has been
wide and thorough for the best ex-
amples. Highboys and cowboys,
long narrow consul tables. stools
with sturdy legs. the benches with
wide polished tops. and the settles
with spindle hacks are all sought
after for country homes.
In those days chests for linens and
bedding were popular and one OF
beautifully grained oak with fiat
mahogany trim. banded after the
manner OF a Spanish trunk or
treasure chest. Is a valued possession
in a new Colonial type house, which
r. furnished in authentic fashion.
Fine hardware n made by hand
mostly. but little carving adorns the
pieces. The wood is not "antiqued"
but has aged and Is colored by long
standing and use-

Athletics and all forms Of competi-

games ought not to be too difficult

fearful Of expressing itself.
When once the cautious boy finds
himself and realizes that he al do

ALWAYS be worn with the same
blouse. and Il Is surprising and
heartening to realize how great a
change in appearance can be OBJ
tanned by wearing various blouses
with the same suit.
We often suggest 10 customers
that they buy several blouses TO go
with the same suit. Among our cos
tun,e blouses are several interesting
models worth mentioning. These
bodices all carry out the straight
silhouette and swathed hipline. This
closeness at the lower edge ooNlates
the necessity OF a sash or girdle; AT
the point Of side closing there IS al
WAYS some bit OF novelty. either a
main overlapping OF n side or the
other. or a softly draped crossing

suits.

The foundation of the health, vigor and
mental capacity of middle and advanced life is
laid in childhood and youth. Likewise, the foanda-
ton of the ill-health and warped thinking of the
adult may be laid in early life.
The trouble about young people is that they
are so confident of themselves, so greatly en-
gagged in the enjoyments of youth, that they
never think of what may come in old age. In
deed, in the fullness of youth, they really feel
they don't want to live to be old"
But common sense indicates that the majority,
or at least a considerable proportion of the flap
pers and gay lads of today will live into the
fifties and sixties and even into the seventies.

will you be at go or 20?

 Not Pacifism
 The next questions Shaw was ask ed to answer follow: ITO what extent do you think socialism will influence the future peace of the world? Has the movement progress ed to such an extent that 1t might be expected to prevent another out break of the last wars magnitude :? Is it strong enough to prevent any future wars of importance
 The reply was:
 Socialism IS not paclfism. It makes for peace inasmuch as every socialist knows that the killing of a German soldier IS as great | loss to France as to Germany. and con- versely. F In short, the slaughter of men who are not criminals is q loss to the world. and the nations have a common interest in the world. But capitalism, by throwing men into competition instead of cooperation, and allowing the world to be pri- vately appropriated, makes for war, not only between nations in search of additional places in the sun to exploit, but for war on socialism as such. We have widely circulated English newspapers shrleking daily for war with Russia because the Russians have adopted socialism as their constitutional principle. And as socialism will fight for its life. and, if successful. possible for the suppression of capitalism as such, we must. as NJ. Briand hinted at Geneva, be prepared for wars to arise out of socialism just as the wars of religion" rose out of the reformation. Pacifists must make a frontal attack on war, and not trust to free trade or socialism or any other economic or political de- velopment to do their work for them'

 Fourteen typical shavtan words disposed of the reply to the follow ing:
 If Ramsay MacDonald's govern ment had remained in power to this day. would the Washington disarm- ament conference have succeeded ? Would the Franco British naval pact negotiations have been opened :: Would the outlook for world peace be any better than 1t is today? If 70. why and how?"
 Said c. B. S.: If tfs and ans were pot and pam. there'd be no need of tinkers."
 Wat" was the next question. lis the present outlook for peace! What dangers to peace do you visualtse at the present time? Are Mussolini and Fascisrn. Primo dc Rivera and the Spanish dictatorship and pos sible Balkan hareups' included?"
 Outlook For War
 Shaw's reply was: Italy Is doubling her taxes on bachelors and offering prodisiouS rewards to large families with the /avowed purpose of working up her man power (the reality of armamentl 70 as to be able to hold her own in ls3t. This is . fact quite independent of dtc- tatorship. In the face of 1t. and of cognate facts elsewhere. 1t seems idle to discuss the outlook for peace. The outlook is still for war"

effectively. When we turned tt down under cover of refusing to speak to the wicked Russians we did not fore. sec that MT. Kellogg would pick it up again, and that we could not turn him down in view Of all the money we owe his country" Next came the question Do you think that anti-war plays and sert- ous anti-war literature can have any beneficial effect upon the future peace prospects of the world?" the reply came swiftly, briefly:
 That depends on whether they are good plays or bad ones."
 Three other questions also re- ceived brief replies:
 Question: Do you think that the nations of the world will ever agree to disarm?"
 Reply: "If they disarm they s6n still fight with their table knives and rabbit guns. or their teeth and claws.
 Question: "Is disarmament esssn- tial to the future peace of the world?"
 Superactal Remedy
 Reply: Disarmament ts . very superficial remedy for war"
 Question: 'Is public opinion suf- flciently strong to prevent future wars? Do you think that If there were another world war in prospect, the influence of modern womanhood could stop it?"
 Reply: "Yes. if it is sufnciently pacifist and plucky. There is no evt- dence that women are less warlike than men"
 Then Shaw was asked what the last war taught public opinion:
 Tt has" he said. taught us what savages We gro underneath our civilian garments. We arc living in a world which has found itself out. and yet does not know in which di- rection to flee from the wrath to come"
