Everyday Psychology
Decisions.

UeclSlOUSs
Not so long ago I talked with man
OF affairs who said that he always
took plenty Of time in making deci-
slons. He added that when once O
decision was made, he worried no more
about 1t, regardless Of the outcome.
His struck me as q rather unusual
case, for the vast majority OF people
lose lot Of sleep about their decislo,1s.
Many a man has lost the oppor' unity
OF lifetime in delaying a decision too
long.
There must somewhere be SONS work.
able information on the psychology OF
decisions, regardless Of whether in In
dlvidual cases it takes the form Of
snap judgments or delayed reactions.
SO scanned the literature on the
subject and then thought it all over as
best could.
Out Of it all conclude that q de-
cision Is only a distant relative of
choice. Decision implies an intellec-
tual reaction; choice, an emotional re-
Spouse. If we get these two points
straight, we can understand the differ
ence between the one who does and the
one who does not worry about decisions
already made.
There are, believe, three distinct
bases for the making Of decisions.
/. Some alternatives that have to be
decided make their appeal to what is
called conscience. In such cases one
does not need to weigh reasons pro
and con. Snap judgments are good
and final. There Is no court of higher
intellectual appeal.
2. We are social animals. Many OF
our problems inplicate our social group
in some respect. There is, therefore, a
sort Of group loyalty entering into a
great number Of the decisions we are
called upon to make. In such cases
We fall back upon what might we'll
be called a group conscience. This
court of appeal is only a few degrees
removed from our private conscience.
8. We are unfortunately forced ali
too often to decide between alternatives
that have no emotional attachments
The consequences are unseen. In such
cases our decisions amount to intelli-
gent guesses. They are the ones we
should accept without worry, right or
wrong.

complexion. I have few blackheadS,
too. MISS MARIE.
Answer-It Is not easy to make q
complexion like yours smooth and free
from freckles. Your type of freckles are
of the stubborn variety and viii never
quite disappear, although they may be
made lighter by the use of a mild
bleaching lotion and the weekly bleach
ing pack. First apply cleansing cream
to your face with gentle upward rotary
movement. Then wipe it OF with soft
cloth or tissie square. Wiring out a
Turkish towel in hot water and hold
it against the face. Have another towel
ready to apply before the first one cools.
Here is simple bleaching pack that
you may use regularly; one tablespoon
full corn meal; two tablespoonfuls tall
cum powder; one tablespoonful lemon
Juice; one-half teaspoonful borax, and
sufficient buttermilk or sour milk to
make a smooth paste. Apply the pack
evenly and leave it, on for half an hour
or so. Then wash it OF with tepid
water. Blot the skin dry and apply a
little of the following lotion and allow

opened the Bible and read: And
there was q rich man who died and
went To-" then, stopping short, and
seeming to be suddenly impressed, he
continued: Brethren, shall not men
ton the place this rich man went to
for fear he has some relative in this
congregation who will sue me for def

This had a distinct effect on the au-
dience and he made the impression
permanent by taking another text and
never abiding to the subject again.
A minister of dignified and distin-

times it seemed as if he might break

bring the matter to the attention of the

stated and the pastor addressed his col

A man visited a church one Sunday
morning where a minister apparently
a stranger to the congregation preached.
He took for his text: And Peters wlfe's
mother lay sick of a fever" The
visitor enjoyed the sermon, and later
visited another church in different

he was surprised to see the same min

Fabrics Determined by Hour
By MARY MARSHALL.

OF late years fashion has delighted in
breaking down barriers that once ex-
isted concerning the appropriateness of
certain materials and colors to certain
fabrics. One-time evening shades have
been worn in the morning and dark,
so-called street colors have come into
favor for evening. To a great extent
this wide choice still exists so far as
color is concerned, but the barriers are
being rebuilt so far as materials are
concerned, and women of good taste no
longer wear chiffon in the morning and
velvet for the street.
For every fabric one might set down
certain prescribed hours of tile day.
