Some Helpful Facts About Textiles
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

sheer though not transparent. Cotton,
especially Egyptian cotton, can have
these characteristics also, and silk to a
large degree. Wool and worsted may
be closely woven and be of light
weight" but they will not have any
sheer quality even when the weave is
loose.
One way to test textiles to discover
whether their weave Is loose or close Is
to hold them up against strong light.
InterSticeS will be revealed. II these
are so tiny that they are almost infini-
tesimal, the weave Is close. If they are
comparatively large, the weave is loose.
Another test is to run the thumb nail
across the weave. If the strands can
be drawn one way or another so that
lines, although small, are revealed, the
weave is loose or close in proportion to
the space freed from cross strands.
Closely woven textiles should be
chosen for use when hard wear Is to be
expected. Loosely woven textiles are
preferable in many instances, as, for
instance, when garments are wanted for
GOODNESS. Very tightly woven materials
are apt to be a bit stiff and therefore
will not fall in soft folds as will loosen
weaves. Materials that are even
"fiimsy" have their uses, as, for instance,
In the use of soft and absorbent busters
of cheesecloth. Choose the textile so
that its weave and quality suit the spe-
ciflc use for which 1t is intended.

SUB ROSA
Courtesy.
BY MIMI.

Courtesy is only character on a small
scale. Manners are diluted morals.
Ladies and gentlemen are saints in the
social circle. People who aren't SC good
are often proper. Their conscience is
courtesy.
It was clever old chap who said. "a
gentleman is one who Is deliciously
aware that others are present" De-
licious Is the word. We can't help notic-
ing that people are present, especially
when they make their presence felt by
crowding and treading on toes. But
that isn't so delicious.
Time was when courtesy was a sort
of religion. That was in the days of
gone to seed, but when gentlemen wore
arnor the way our boys wear raccoon
coats Women had some chance then;
that is, as far as courtesy was cos1-
cerned.
The courtesy of the present is more
of a commercial nature. After the rail-
roads had found that it didn't pay to
bawl out the timid passenger who
couldn't find his train they switched
of into courtesy and put politeness into
the Pullmans.
The successful store is one which has
the goods, of course, but 1t uses as
uluCn courtesy III Selling aS IL OOeS SCTlIlB
in wrapping up the bundles. This has
brought out the thank you" which you
get along with trading stamps and
coupons.
The "thank you" of business may be a
matter of form which any robot can
say when you buy right out of the slot
but 1t is good sign. It shows that
we can't run the world on a purely
business basis, for we must have cour-
tesy to make 1t run smoothly.
Women are interested In this courtesy
business because 1t lends to the harsh
old world some of the tenderness which
woman has by instinct The only trou-
BILE is that when women 60 out into the
world TO make a living, as they are
doing today, men may put competition
In the place Of courtesy.
II the boss Is too courteous with Sally
she may try to take advantage of that,
come in late and loaf over the type
writer. If the man at the next desk is
courteous. he may find that Sally is in
line FOR his job
But think the men do pretty we'll In
the face of the business competition
which women are offering them and it
may be well for us to look for courtesy
out OF business hours. While we're on
the job, just ordinary decency will do.
But do hope that manners won't pass
out the way bicycles have.

BEAUTY CHATS

II you are too stout all over, the first
step toward getting rid of double
chin Is to reduce to your correct
weight. The attention you will give to
your chin will be to get the skin firm
so there will be no Sagging later. OF
course, muscle laxneSs that comes With
old age will cause some natural sagging,
and If the person is building up fat
over the whole body, the sagged skin
will soon fill out into roll under the
original chin.
Local treatment that will help is one
in which the flesh is kneaded as if 1t
were soft dough; this is followed by a
massage, beginning at the throat and
stroking upward. If the lower part OF
the cheeks are also too full, carry the
strokes from throat upward and out
ward toward the top Of the ears. Some
cream is needed to facilitate the move
ments and also to soften the skin, bu:
it need not be of the nourishing kind.
Deep strokes are necessary because the
benefit derived depends upon this.
Fatty cells must be broken up and alb
sorbed and muscular tissue built up
again. Conclude every treatment with
a cold bath or an ice rub. This will
close the pores and help the skin attain
it's lost frmness.
If you wish to vary the massage
sometimes. the following exercise Is ef-
fective and takes very little time:
Throw head far back between the
shoulders and go through series Of
chewing movements. Vary 1t by open

Credit and Your Account.

Some women are puzzled by the ways
in which q shoppers credit rating is
decided.
For example, suppose you have a
salary or income Of $4,000 year. You
seem to do most of your shopping in one
store and naturally you would find a
charge account convenient.
In your place some women feel self
conscious and timid about making an
application for such an account. They
feel that they must have charge &C
counts elsewhere to establish credit.
Of course, nothing of the sort Is true
The fact that one has always paid cash
In the past is one of the strongest rec
concentrations one can have.
In fact, it Is stronger recommended
ton than IL one could show one had
numerous charge accounts on ones
limited income. The credit manager
would begin TO wonder If the woman
had not put herself in a position where
she might contract more debts than she
could settle in a reasonable space OF
time.
When applying for "a charge account
some women feel 1t necessary to dress
up to an opulent part. AS a matter Of
fact again the credit manager Is more
deeply impressed by the woman OF
frugal appearance. He knows she IS

economical and thrifty, and therefore a
good risk.
Giving fashionable address is not
always q boon If it is apparent the
woman is living beyond her or her
husbands means. People who carry
life insurance, own their own home, and
are suitably employed, are preferred
risks, or their wives are.
Credit managers also are likely to
look askance on the woman who Is not
matrimonially settled or happy. Fam
lily disturbances usually mean money
troubles.
Generally the credit managers job to
give credit where it is due is fairly per-
formed, and the woman with a clean
record of paying debts, and assuming
moderate obligations is usually given
her charge account without fuss.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Psychological Immortality.


In this age of rigorous science and
its nateriaiistic tendencies, 1t Is often
supposed that death marks the end OF
the individual It is easy to formulate
such suggestions when 50 many things
In daily life keep impressing the In
dividual with the Importance OF the
here and now. Spiritualisrn In all its
forms tends to counterfeit mAterial'stlc
thoughts. Who knows but that spirit
ualism has Its compensattorS, despite
the fact that nothing really tangible
has come out of 1t? However all this
may. be, it does not have place in
scientific psychology, because it involves
features inaccessible to scientific obser-
walton.
But there is type of immortality to
which scientific psychology may prop
erly turn with the hope of discovering
tangible results. The work of an in
dividual often persists long after death.
We have not yet caught up with Plato,
Socrates, Darwin, Lincoln, Wilson. The
truly great men of all times exist as
ideals in the minds Of the generations
which they foreSaw. Such men exist as
social forces long after death, shaping
the policies of institutions and indirect
Iy thereby conditioning the thoughts and
activities Of these identified with the
Institutions. This may be called psyche
logical immortality.
But there are other less obvious and
less generally experienced aspects of
psychological immortality. 1t is posi-
bic for q person to believe that he has
received advice or warning from what
he assumes to be the spirit of departed
relative. Some unusual happening is
the occasion for such thoughts The
mind of the individual swings back to
an imaginary situation connecting the
unusual happening with what might
have been participation on the part of
the deceased This reversal of the
mental processes comes with all the
force of reality. Although the ex-
Eerience is an illusion, it is taken for
. real coincidence So the experiencing
subject says he has received a message.

Carrots, Sweet Potatoes.

Wash three medium-sized sweet po-
tatoes and six large carrots, and scrub
with a stiff brush until clean. Do not
peel either the potatoes or the carrots.
Put all together in cold water and
boil for about Is minutes. Then peel
the sweet potatoes, but not the car
rots. Slice both in lengthwise slices.
Put layer of sweet potatoes and car
rots mixed into a buttered baking dish.
Sprinkle literally with sugar and butter.
Continue the layers until the dish is
full. Bake in moderate oven for
one hour. Many children who do not
like carrots will eat this with a relish.
