\ MISTAKEN NOTION
By Alice JudSOn pcalc

Of all queer notions none is queer or than the idea that adults. because they themselves once were children, are able to understand the workings of the minds of children. Nothing could be further from the truth. i It is a fact well reenforccd by scientific studies that the mental and emotional life of the child is cntire- ! ly different from that of the adult. i It is only by deliberate and intclli gent effort on our part that we can ! hope to understand it.
 Our problem of insight into the | lives of our children is complicated not only by our natural ignorance
 of the workings of the child mind.
 but also by the fact that such insight
 as we may gain is distorted by the
 sclf-censored memories of our own
 childhood, and by our own peculiari- l ties of temperament.
 We forget that we were ever ,liso- bedient or unhappy. We remember only the agreeable and fattcring as poets of our youth. We are Dreju- diced by our own nreiudiccs, bound by our own limitations
 It is well to admit our ignorance. the unreliability of our personal memories, and the distorting in | fuence of our own emotional preju- diccs. In a properly modest and ob-
 iective frame of mind we may then approach the task of helping our
 children to grow up.
 We learn to make allowance for their short memories their impcr- 1 fectly developed powers of reasoning,
 their faulty emotional control, their l inability to stick always to the truth.
 and their slips in matters of mine
 and thine"
 We learn to expect imperfect per I formanCc and to feel neither per
 sonal failure in our inability to get
 2bsolute obedience nor to attach un- due importance to the preservation of adult standards of control.

The Heart Story

following the actions-and reactions of our tempestuous young folks, and we laughed with the rather | dazed but hearty enjoyment of i people who have just seen the cur tain go down upon a farce which ! has much of serious drama within ] it.
 How are the vivsectionists? ?" AIr. Underwood put the query as soon as he stopped laughing, chuckled again as he saw me flush at his gibe. But his wife eyed him coolly.
 T would advise one of those ad- vertisei courses of how to be witty every minute" she said withering- | ly. "Or else a session with a Joe Miller joke book. You've used that one twice or thrice in twenty-four hours. Kindly solder the can with it inside"

 'I mean it." he said. What did you two get out of watching the impaled butterflies? Dye think the leaven is beginning to worll?"
 Tt is with Olna," Lillian re- turned promptly. She's coming out of the ether slowly but surely. I've always thought her infatuation for Noel was more than half subcon- scious jealousy of Mary's conquest of Prince Georges, although. of course she first fell for him when she heard him play at that night club. And now that Georges is so near the throne. her traditions, her ambition and her old affection for GeorSes-they were practically en- gagged once, I believe-are warning aaeinst her feeling for Noel.
 But Prince Georges - I don't know Men are kittle cattle, and Mary is lovely enough to keep any mans head turned"
 She handed him a jolt today" AIr Underwood commented. Tt NN'Idil L lltlNt lttNNli illuCu dDOu. that time to switch his allegiance from the fresh American flapper to the perfectly poised princess. Did you pipe that alliteration, gals?"
 If you don't notice children's smartness," Lillian turned to me with a perfectly grave face - sometimes they stop it." Then she gripned amicably at her husband and answered his comment or Prince Georges.
 "But the point is that despite the terrific jolt, which I grant you We all saw it-despite Olina's inter- ference, Mary was able to bring him back to heel immediately And why should she want to. having staged the jolt purposely. I'll bet my .asl bone hairpin. Why? Madge, l ask you. Why"
 Perhaps because Of Olina's in reference. instead of despite it." l returned, a bit dejectedly, for I had been disappointed at the final result of Mary's bit of comedy.

 Just so.' replied Bob. More than that; an enemy never knows which one to start after. If by any chance he stats after one, one Is all he can catch, for by the time he has caught that one, the others have disappeared.

WHAT COLOR CAR WOULD GO

lis Obvious Thing

There seem~ to me to be no req son for any special study or re- search work to achieve syn- chronization of elements that can obviously exist only in a state If perfect harmony. They are all much too intimately related 10 risk discord. In the various branches of modern art creators work simultaneously, with a tacit understanding that makes any complementary linking-up unnec- cessary.
 Conceived in the same "ambi- ance" or atmosphere, starting from the same basic principles and with the same ultimate goal in view (beauty and elegance combn- cd with perfect comfort) these vari- ous branches are not only parallel but in one and the same sphere.
 It is not necessary for either t,is couturier or the automobile bodv- maker to consult with each other to create something which will har- monize perfectly with what the oth- CT has done. The coat created by the couturier for the sports auto- mobile will be just as tailored in looks and as comfortable in the cars lines. both built for long journeys ia the open air.
 Harmony-and Color The color question is not for cign to this search for harmony. This consideration should never be allowed to become monotonous. I have seen women order sweaters to match the color scheme of their automobile. This is an exaggera- ton of questionable taste.
 Sobriety must always be the keynote of any sports color scheme, whether the dress or car coloring IS concerning. Vivid colorings, on the other hand. arc usually harmonious. provided they are wisely selected. The infinite variety of beiges and browns offer a wide choice for the woman who uses a roadster. She, together with her couturier, can always combine either of these shades with a brilliant touch of col or, but as grounding" they ara unequalled For the woman who prefers a closed car, the choice is more varied and 1 don't know of anything more becoming, more at- 1 tractive and at the same time more harmonious than a pastel cot- ored ensemble in the setting of a black "carrosscrie.' In spite of the various shades that are launched every season by body builders. I thnk there is nothing that sets oft a womans gowns better than shin- l ing black car.

period or the craftsmanship Of the
Renaissance master, he said.
Asked the probable age OF the Hahn
painting, Duveen replied:
IT should say the painting never was
painted before 1880. Probably between
the years Of 1880 to 1850 or 1850"
Says Painted in France.
He declared without hesitation that
the picture was painted in France. He
placed the time and locale of the paint
ing by the style of the trimming on the
drapery, saying that while that on the
figure of LA Belle Ferronn1ere" IN the
Louvre, which he maintains Is a gen.
uine Da Vinci, is of the Renaissance,
the Hahn picture shows embroidery OF
a much later period.
Duveen said that where the Louvre
Da Vinci showed purity Of line in the
drawing of the mouth, this quality was
utterly lacking in the Hahn picture.
"I see only blotches Of black. see
only a piece of red and block OF
black paint. It's as fiat as a pancake:
1.-THE f1air-that's not hair. That Is
mud" was another of his comments.
The cord binding jewel to the fore
head didn't bind, but left the jewel up
in the air." he said.
The shoulders were fat and f1abby
and the arms only puffs. He summed
the picture up by declaring the face was
mask and the figure balloon.
