SUMMERTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

We went to sleep in the GREATNESS
heat, with whippoorwills whipping sleep
away and the nervous preSclence OF
something calamitous to come. against
which the crickets in the baked, dry
grass chanted perpetual incarnation.
The electric fan in the dark whirred
and whirred. turning its dangerous hiss
ing head from side to side, like a cobra
in dark pit Something is coming!
Something is coming!" it seemed to say.
until at last we fell asleep.
And then it came-the line squall
grumbling over the Virginia hills, like
the phantom guns of Lees vanished
army. booming so close to Washington
that we who slept were wakened and
the distant glare of gunpoWder flashed
in the low skies. The cricketS' songs
rose to wall. but the whippoorWill was
still. and shut off the electric fan and
listened to the coming of the storm,
terrible as an army with banners"
At last. like one of those long-gath-
ering, delayed events in history, it
came, tardy but destroying-the big
first drops sending musical echo
through all the open house. then thou
sands of tiny noofbeats, and at last the
charge of all the forces of the sky
across the roof
I rose, going around among the ia
miliar, hot objects of the dark rooms,
feeling my way and closing windows.
Then I lay down and listened, retoic-
ing for the thirsty sphere of earth. till
all had ceased and the cannon wheels
ratified off through Maryland to meet
some ancienr Gettysburg.

Charles v, Emperor of Spain and
Germany, was tender, affectionate
man. Once he forbade that a tent on
which a swallow had built her nest
should be struck, an incident the poet
LongfeIlow was moved to celebrate
Indeed, 1t was an act noteworthy in the
sixteenth century.
But Charles wasn't gentle to food.
Gluttony with him was passion
His confessor protested against his
tremendous appetite for his souls sake,
his physicians for his body's sake. But
this made no difference. He was will
ing to pay the penalty Of govt and
other illnesses that his palate might
be pleased.
His democratic tendencies endeared
him to his Flemish subjects, who did
not dislike him, either, for his proves
as O trencherman.
He liked to go about in disguise. One
of his favorite haunts was the market
places. He delighted to gaze upon the
toothsome foods offered for sale.
One day in Brussels he was lost IN
admiration of a fine fat capon when a
buxom housewife bought it and carried
1t of.
Charles mind was filled with visions
of that capon as it would taste when
roasted. He couldn't bear to say fare
well to it. He followed the housewife
and saw her enter a cordwainer's shop.
Remembering the address, he went back
to his palace and then returned to the
shop ct the supper hour. Entering, he
found two shoemakers preparing to eat
the capon.

Knee-Length Costume Is Passing
BY MARY MARSHALL.

French fashions has made so little
headway in this country Is that here,
probably more than anywhere else In
the world, younger women have the
ruling vote in all matters of dress. And
the Younger woman likes short skirts.
Long skirts seem to them not only
dowdy, but uncomfortable and insult
able.
Yet the fact remains that the very
short skirt is no longer smart. The
minority of very well dressed women,
even in this country. have adopted the
longer skirt and have made 1t their
own. They have an advantage that
they doubtless fully appreciate In the
fact that the great majority OF ordi-
narily well dressed women have not
adopted it.
The sketch shows an ensemble de-
signed for late Summer and Autumn.
The pleated skirt flares from just lit
tie above the knees and extends in
slightly uneven hemline or inches
below. It is the sort Of thing that be-
fore Autumn Is we'll passed Is going to
make the knee-length street costume
look decidedly passe.
Every woman and young girl should
have at least one separate skirt In ner
wardrobe for wear with separate blouSes
and pull-over sweaters. This weeks cir
cular gives diagram pattern and work
ing directions for a very smart skirt
of this sort. and If you will send your
stamped, self addressed envelope to
Mary Marshall, care of this paper. 1t
will be sent to you at once.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Main Clue to Genius.

There is a great deal of difference be-
tween persons primary personality
and his secondary personalities.
Most men are just plain common men
because their secondary personalities
never develop to the point where they
influence the primary personality. It Is
the influence of the secondary per-
sonalities on the primary personality
that makes some men different from
the common run of men.
In order to get this rare influence OF
the secondary personalities on the pri-
mary personality one must in the first
place possess strong secondary personali-
ties. In other words, the genius must
have abilities along several lines. He
must house number OF strong souls,
personality trends. Whether or not the
genius settles down to one special &C
tivity is largely matter of choice.
Leonardo da Vinci made toy air
planes to amuse the neighborhood chill
dren and was musician of no mean
accomplishment. He is known as the
worlds greatest painter. How does It
come that Oliver Goldsmith has by COM
petent critics been rated the author not
only of the greatest poem but OF the
greatest novel and of the greatest play
in the English language? How does 1t
come that men who become somebodies
are as a rule able to do many things
we'll? Active secondary personalities are
the answer.
A further consideration of this clue to
a genius has to do with the readiness
with which a man OF many abilities
may draw upon them for creative pur-
poses. A real genius Is able to tap his
secondary powers with surprising ease.
In fact. the worlds greatest geniuses
have been unable to keep these abilities
from finding expression. Wagner and
Shelley frequently became oblivious to
their surroundings. Socrates felt this
inner urge and in the language OF his
day said that a Daemon followed him
about. A great poet sang in numbers
for the numbers came" Mozart admit
ted that his music came without Volt
ton. Tartini Is said to have composed
his famous Devils Sonata" In his sleep.
Barrie said that "one McConnachie"
was the chap who really wrote his plays.
If these are facts. then there must be
something to Freud's theory of the UNI
conscious, to James theory of second
breath" 1t must be that we all have
powers we know not Of. That these
powers are in the average man too
