Everyday Psychology

From all can learn from my friends,
the new money doesn't seem to be a
bowling success. How some people like
to get hold of the old billsl And how
they hold on to them, preferring to part
with the new money first. AS one man
puts it: Give me the good old big
bills"
A psychologist Is likely to explain the
dislike for the new money on the basis
of habit. He will say that we have our
habits all set for the old money and
that we find It hard to get new set
of habits established. Especially so,
since at the present time the old and
the new are circulating in about equal
proportions. The old bills keep the old
habits alive: the new bill habits are
constantly coming in conflict with them.
Now what about the man who wants
the good old big bills"
suspect that the new money doesn't
seem to him to be worth as much as the
old. Its very size suggests correspond
ing shrinkage in purchasing value. And
this suggestion breeds carelessneSs in
expenditures, thus bearing out the con-
viction that a new dollar bill is not
equal to one hundred cents, or twenty
nickels.
OF course, this feeling can all be laid
at the door of habit and the confusion
to function. A feeling of emptiness or
relative i'll ease Is instituted the very
moment you break in upon accustomed
ways Of doing things.
The emotional reaction which goes
along with habit-formation and habit
disturbance runs q little deeper into
our souls that does mere habit.

Your Son and His Living.

This may be the beginning Of your
sons last year at school.
If it is, have talk with him before
he goes away to assume the honors
and dignity Of senior.
To be specific, talk over with him
his future livelihood. Ask him his plans
and his ambitions.
Only too frequently young men have
no plans about their future jobs, and
they find themselves at commencement
all at sea.
majority of them perhaps become
bond statesmen or real estate brokers
simply because they are fitted for no
vocation and have no idea about vo-
cations for which they might be suited
This is not to say that real estate
brokers or bond statesmen are dispen-
sable, or that their vacations are I'M
desirable. 1t is simply to point out
that many young men drift into these
fields, and insurance may be added
because they are dignified vocations re-
quiring only command OF English and
an assortment of social contacts.
It is not necessary to worry your boy
about the awful responsibility of earn
ing ones living, nor should any sons
mother warn him about the pitfalls.
He should merely be cautioned to
consider in ample time the field into
which he fits best, and the best way
to find himself a position in that field.
Every June there is q surplus Of COL
lege graduates fitted for no special
work, and willing to take anything

FAMOUS LADY WISECRACKERS
SvSifts Stella Was Not Only Witty. She Was Brave
She Killed a Burglar.

When Esther johnson, the famous
stella" Of Jonathan Swift, was ex-
tremely Ill, her physician said: Madam,
you are near the bottom of the hill, but
we will endeavor to get you up again"
She replied: Doctor, fear I will be
out Of breath before I get up to the
top"
Swift said of Stella that she had "the
most and finest accomplishments OF
any person ever knew of either sex.
1t was observed by all her acquaintance
that she never failed in company to
say the best thing that was said, who
ever was by, yet her companions were
usually of the best understanding in
the kingdom"
Coming from Swift who was himself
one of the great wits Of his day, this
was high tribute. Since stella" was
also a beautiful woman, of the brunette
type, one wonders why Jonathan did
not make her his wife. as he easily
could have done.

she was brave. Once she shot and killed

Fortunately, Swift himself preserved
some of her witticisms. Here are

Whistler, the great artist, was once
asked to use his influence in having a
younger painters canvas exhibited In
the salon. The artist did as requested,
but when the picture was shown, the
clouds were lying on the ground ano

"Oh, Mr.. whistler" cried the young
dauber, you've hung my painting up
side down."

If I'd hung it in the usual way. the

That's why I had to turn it around.
One can often get truer impression

It's good thing to turn a subject
over in the mind to see how 1t looks on
the other side. It's just as good thing
to turn it upside down to see how It
looks from the reverse end. Almost every
question has it's reverse side and we
can't get the whole truth and see how
1t looks from the opposite end. That's
why we say. ITS a poor rule that won :

egg boiler or the ferry boat.

upside down, or look at them from the

When Ina Claire, who Is now Mrs.

she said the most interesting sight was
the State of Kansas. Ordinarily, we'd
pick out the Rocky Mountains or the
Great Lakes for beauty, but from the

looked most beautiful.
We can reverse the order Of view with
our friends and relatives by taking a
good look at them, an upside down one.
OF course, you can't ask your boy friend
to walk on his hands just to see how
he'd look with his feet in the air, but
you can look him over in some new way;
from head to foot, from foot to head.
You work your crossword puzzle
