Last Saturday the use of boudoir pill
lows in decoration was discussed, and
I promised to give directions for max
ing some styles of these dainty Access
series. The first model, described in
this article, will be the round petal pill
low; the second description of the
Brittany lace pillow, and the third. the
linen embroidered pillow. will be given
later in the week.
Petal pillow covers may be made of
organdy or silk. In the first instance
the edges are bound. in the second they
are picoted. The petals may be grad
uated, beginning with the small size at
the center Two or three sizes are
sufficient to obtain desirable effect.
Fold a strip of paper and cut petal
pattern by slightly curving from the
edge to center. An average size is 312
inches long. A large one from top to
center may be nearly Az inches, while
a small one should not be less than
214 inches Unfold the paper and If
the shape is not satisfactory continue
cutting patterns until a perfect petal
results. The extreme width Of the

quently left the company to go out
side. He announced that the house Of
q friend. whom he named, had been
completely destroyed, while his own
was in danger.
At s o'clock he rejoined the party,
beaming.
Thank God! The fire is extin-
he exclaimed.
1t may be imagined how much OF
awed speculation this performance oc-
caSioned among those assembled in VIII
liam Casters house. But matters did
not end there. II was related to TIE
governor of the city that very evening
and, of course. was quickly repeated to
all Gottenburg.
On Sunday morning the governor
summoned Swedenborg. The latter
gave the dignitary an exact account of
the fire-itS origin, how long it con-
tinued and how it was brought to an
end. Throughout Gottenburg great
connection arose, the people being
alarmed for the safety of relatives,
friends and property in Stockholm.
Hours of anxiety passed slowly while
word was awaited from the scene of
the reported confiagration. 1t came on
Monday evening with the arrival of
messenger dispatched by the Stockholm
Board of Trade not long after the fire
started.
An amplified report was received on
Tuesday morning. when royal courier
reached the governors mansion. The
story he told was identical in every de-
tail with that of Swedenborg, divulged
while the fire was proceeding. He said
that the flames had been extinguisflcd
at o'clock!

Just when We have decided that there
simply cannot be anything new or diff
ferent in the way of lamps we are sur
prised and delighted to find out that we
were wrong. for what could be more
interesting than a combination lamp
and aquarium?
The base is of green glass and Is
ventilated through holes in the cleo
trical attachment, the wiring not en-
tering the base at all. This lamp Is
equipped with electricity in the same
manner as candlesticks which have
little plugs to fit in the candle holes.
Another unique feature of this new
lamp is the shade. which has been
decorated to harmonic with the base.
The material of the shade is espe-
cially prepared paper similar to parch-
ment. The coloring is soft yellow green
with a deeper green at the bottom and
sprays Of seaweed and fish for decora-
ton. A simple gold braid finishes the
top and bottom. If this were in the
form of gold rope it would be unusu
ally appropriate and attractive.

Everyday Psychology

No. A different governmental person.
mel is about all. There are no real is
sues of any sort to be tested. The
business of running the Government
will remain substantially the same as 1t
has been for the last four years. But
let time decide that question.
The center of all this coming to-
gether. all this listening together, all
this wondering together is one man
President Hoover.
The psychology of the Nation today
would be very much the same no mat
ter who took the oath of Office.
People are interested in people. For
the present they are interested in one
person, instead of in the usual many.
The social, the political mind of the Ma
ton is concentrated.
The psychology of personality is the
fundamental factor in all that goes on
today in the way of admiration for a
hero.
The average man is wondering how
it feels to be the center of such attrac-
ton. He is also Illuminating about the
power that is transferred to new hands
today.
The psychology of an Inauguration in
these days may be taken as measure
of the concentration of the national
mind In the early days of our Gov
eminent, when the population was
small, when travel was confined to the
few, and when the means of rapid
communication were undreamed of, the
national mind was widely diffused Be-
cause it was diffused, the personality
of the President was relatively unex-
citing affair. One could hardly picture
President Hoover going to market alone
as did William Henry Harrison.
There's mystery in masses amassed
There's power in concentrated suffrage.
The psychology of personality attains
a new high level of significance today.

One of the greatest psychics in his
tory was Emanuel Swedenborg, the
celebrated scientist, mystic and theo-
Logan. upon whose theological works
the Swedenborgian Church was founded.
Created a count by Queen Ulrica OF
Sweden, this famous man was orig
inally named Swedberg. He was born
in 1888, son of a Swedish bishop and
professor of theology, and his parents
thought, while he still was child, that
"angels spoke through him." He be-
came one of the most learned men OF
his age and his fame. particularly as
it related to his remarkable psychic
gifts, spread all over Europe. Disinter-
ested persons of scientific attainment
investigated his feats and reported
them to be beyond doubt.
There is not room here to describe
numerous acts attributed to Sweden
borg. But the following, which was
we'll attested at the time. serves as
good example of his accomplishments.
In September. 1859, at o'clock of a
Saturday afternoon, Swedenborg ar
rived at Gottenburg from England
being greeted by William Castel. we'll
known citizen. who invited him to be
one OF party OF 10 persons at MS
house.
About 6 o'clock Swedenborg went
into the garden for time, but soon
returned pale and alarmed
Fire has broken out in Stockholm
at the Soderdalm and is spreading very
FAST" he said.
Now Gottenburg is about 800 miles
from Stockholm. The company stared
in establishment: How could Sweden
borg know about a fire which had
"just broken out" there?
This, remember, was in the eighteenth
century. There was no radio, no tele-
phone, no telegraph to flash such news

Coiffures for Long Hair.

The problem of how to dress long.
thick hair in modish way is not
easy in these days of simplified Golf
fures. In my opinion, it is better to
have long hair trimmed to a little
below the shoulder level to make it
easier to handle. When the hair is
a glorious color or of an extra fine
texture, however, it may be worn longer
and dressed so as to bring out its un-
usual beauty.
A large, bulky knot of hair at the
back seems old-fashioned, because the
modern couture Is dressed close to the
head. To overcome this difficulty in
dressing, the hairdresser divides the
hair into strands, then twists and pins
them fat This method of handling is
used in the couture am about to
describe.

-FOUR ARE HELD
IN TRIPLE DEATH
Prosecutor Opens Inquiry Into
Auto Mishap On
Bridge.

Minneapolis-Four men are under
arrest as investigators of the county
attorneys office opened an investiga-
tion into an automobile collision which
plunged three men 20 feet off the
Tenth avenue bridge to their death in
the Mississippi river.
The three victims Of the accident
were: Charles T. Tracey, AZ years
DID, driver of the machine that
plunged off the bridge; Ludwig ].
Forsbeck, "a years old; Clarence w.
Score, 80 years old.
The four men held as an outgrowth
of the accident are: Walter Story,
driver of the second car; Carl E. An
derson, occupant of the second car;
Louis Schultz, who had no connection
with the accident, but is held as a ma
terial witness; and the proprietor of
an alleged speak-easy where Ander-
SON says he and Story got liquor be-
fore the accident, who also is held as
a material witness.
The left front wheels of Story's and
Tracey's machine locked together as
the cars crashed head-on. The two
automobiles spun around like a crack
ing whip and Tracey's car was thrown
backward through the railing to drop
20 feet into the river. Tracey, Fors-
beck and Score were drowned. All
three bodies have been recovered.
