Variety in Choker-Type Necklace
BY MARY MARSHALL.

the choker type Of necklace is primarily
suitable for the younger woman or the
woman whose neck and chin retain
youthful contours. For the woman with
q double chin 1t Is pathstically map
propriate and for the woman whose
cheeks have rounded out so that the
youthful oval lines of the chin have
been lost sight Of 1t is almost as un-
becoming. These women should choose
necklaces of q longer sort that do not
overemphasize the circular line Of neck
and chin. And no girl with a very
short neck-be she 16 or 60--ought to
der sort. The wide choker seems to
take a tuck in what little neck she has
at her disposal.
Like everything else this Spring neck
laceS and chokers are made to become
the sun-tanned skin. There are neck
laces of pearls Of golden tone that
will be more becoming to you this SUM-
mer than the pearls of the natural tone.
There are necklaces of copper colored
metal and silver of golden tone called
sun-burned silver.
This weeks home dressmaker's halp

velope purses with patent fasteners
which may be bought in convenient
lengths at most of the stores. Once you
know how to make bags of this sort you

right eyebrow. Flat curls may also be
made to curl forward in front Of each

The center part couture, with a de-

There are about four of these ringlets
and they are curled in two separate
sections, then divided in half. The
curls turn toward the part like row of

other side of the part is a single curl
which turns toward the part. The
"scolding locks" in front Of the ears
are made into fiat curls The rest of
the hair is waved loosely and pushed
behind the ears. The ends of the hair
form cluster of curls across the back
of the neck. This is a pretty coiffure
for hair that is being allowed to grow

WHY WE Do WHAT WE DO
By MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

The four laws of association laid by
the great Aristotle are: The law Of sue
cession, the law of contiguity, the law of
similarity, and the law of contrast.
These laws he applied in the field Of
psychology to show how we recall what
we have learned. We know now as he
knew over 1000 years ago that all re-
cali is absolutely dependent upon as
ISOLATION. You will recall only what Is
associated, and unless the proper
stimulus is applied the material will
never be recalled. Conversely, what
enters the mind is recalled with what
ever was associated with it at the time.
The law Of succession means that
you will recall what you have learned
in succession or in serial order. such,
for example, as the letters OF the
alphabet. When say "a" you im-
mediately think Of "b" because you
learned them in succession.
The law of contiguity means that
YOU recall things that enter the mind
at the same time, such, for example,
as recalling Mr.. K when you think OF
Mr.. Y because you met them at the
same time.
The law Of resemblance is that Ike
objects recall each other. Smooth as
glass we say because the smooth touch
Of the present object reminds us of the
smoothness of glass by the law Of
resemblance.
The law Of contrast recalls objects
Of opposite characteristics. When I
say day" you think Of might" SINH
larry, white recalls black" etc.
The strange thing is that resemblance
and contrast, seemingly so different, are
bAsically the salns. Qnntrast y . form

All-Vegetable Soup.

When we say vegetable soup, we
usually mean a meat stock containing
as many vegetables as determined by
the preference of the cook or the
number Of leftover vegetables. This
recipe is for an all-vegetable soup ana
should be made in the proportion Of
the following amount Of ingredients
for half a gallon Of water: Half
gallon of cold water, five medium sized
potatoes cut fine, two medium sized
onions chopped fine, one-third cupful
Of rice, two teaspoonfuls of salt, two
heaping tablesponfuls of butter and q
cupful of shredded cabbage. Put this
on TO boil until the vegetables are
tender and the richness Is extracted,
then strain. Mix three tablespoonfuls
of -four with four tablespoonfuls OF
cream and stiff in the soup. Let boil
at once.

of resemblance. You can't contrast
the nominative case with q base bali
bat. You can contrast the norninative
case with the dative because they are
both cases. You can contrast a long
bat with q short one, wooden one
with metal, because they are all bats
In order to be contrasted two things
must belong to the same order of
existence, that is, they must agree in
a great many respects and differ in the
one point Of contrast. Hence contrast
necessitates q high degree Of resem-
blance.
Resemblance, to be effective, must
pick out objects of comparison which
are alike only at one point and differ.

kind Nv sperits as is meant In the tex,
my brethring. Now, thar's great
many kinds of fire in the world. In the
fuss place, there's the common sort Of
fire you light your cigar or pipe with,
and then thar's foxfire and campfire
fire before you're ready. and fire and
fall back, and many kinds Nv fire, for
the tex says He played on the harp

But I'll tell you the kind Nv fire as
Is meant in the tex, my brethring-it's

as great many Nv you'll come to, eft
you don't do better nor what you have
been doin-for HE played on a harp
Nv thousand tsrings, sperits Nv Jest

Now, the different sorts of fire in the
world may be likened unto the differ
ent persuasionS of Christmas in the
world. In the fuss place, we have the
Piscapalions, an they are q high-sailin'
and highfaultin' set, and they may be
likened unto turkey buzzard that flies
up into the air. and he goes up. and up.
and up, till he looks no bigger than

And then thar's the Methods, and
they may be likened unto the squirril

believes in gwine on from one degree
NV grace to another, and finally on to
perfection. and the sduirrn goes up and
up, and up and up, and he jumps from

that's Like the Methods, for they alters

And then, my brethring, thar's the

unto a 'possum on 'simmon tree and
thunders may roll and the earth may
quake. but the 'possum clings on still,
ali! and you may shake one foot loose,
an the others thar, and you may
shake all feet loose. ana he laps his
tail around the limb, and clings, and
he clings ftirever, for "He played on
