KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTRoW.

you'll get warts: because the toads skin
is Warty. So we make a distinction be-
tween the errors of credulity and the
errors of fallacy.
In the ancient days almost any trav-
eler's tales would be believed, even that
there was a race of men who carried
their heads under their arms. Giants
and fairies and gnomeS and elves -four
ished, likewise mermaidS and centaurS
and unicorns and dragons of all sorts.
But much of that was believed because
Of its interest to the imagination. Quite
early we learn to distinguish between
fact and fable. So much for credulity.
But superstition Is far bigger sub
ject; for that relates to the connection
between events. That's harder matter
to determine. So we just don't take a
chance on 13 at table or doing things
on Friday. We believe in these dam
gers, whether true or not. But when
the interest is self-interest, we pass right
back to credulity again, which now we
may call gullibility.
So when the promoter comes around
with the prospectus Of his silver mines
| or orange groves, or the patent medicine
lads" show you the picture of before"
and "after," you fall for it or not. ac-
| cordinT to your tendency to believe
what you would like. So our wits are
constantly challenged: and perhaps
that's goo for our mental fitness, like
| fieas for a dog. It keeps us scratching
to decide whether to believe it or not.

Halloween parties come this week,
and where there are young folk parents
have to plan activities or their children
will have their fun without Supervis-
ion. If there is one time when such
care is needed it is feStivity on Hal
loween. There is an uncanny atmos-
phere naturally attendant upon 1t. This
appeals to youngsters. It must be
catered to If troublesome pranks are
prevented. So wise parents see that
time is filled and with events that the
children like. Fortunately the old tricks
and games hold good year after year.
If the youngsters want to dress like
ghosts and wear masks, or don freakish
costumes, supply them materials with
which to make their own, or help them
wind sheets into costumes when the
time comes to dress up. Then plan a
route and 60 with them, or have some
older person whom the children like
and respect be their escort.
The next thing is to plan stopping
places with friends and neighbors who
are In sympathy with children. Some
sort Of preparations may be arranged
at each house. For instance apples
and cheese can be ready to be passed
at one place, popcorn balls at another,
sweet cider, ginger ale, lemonade or
some soft drink be served at another,
doughnuts at still another, cookies. ETC.,
at other places. It Is surprising what
glamour such refreshments lend to q
friendly or an assumed startled re-
ception TO youths at Halloween.

Coofy Doings of Historic Persons
$4,000 Found in Old Clothes of George Nv When He Died
r..

His Royal Highness, the Prince of
Wales, afterward King George " of
England, was one Of the oldest Of royal
characters.
1t Is recorded that when the famous
beauty, Mrs. Fitzherbert, went abroad
to escape his attentions, he "cried by
the hour, rolling on the floor, striking
his forehead, tearing his hair, falling
into Mysteries and swearing he would
sell his jewels and plate and scrape to-
gether a competence to fly with the
object Of his attentions to America"
He never put over this plan, however,
and so we lost our very best chance to
induct real royalty into citizenship.
We gain a significant idea of George
w from the facts that he dotted on
fine clothes and did not care for snuff,
which Queen Charlotte had made fash
ionable in England.
He carried snuffbox and affected to
convey the snuff to his nose with an
extremely graceful gesture, but he al
ways let 1t drop before 1t reached its
destination.
George fiourished in an age of ex-
quisites. He had remarkable ideas
about dress, and he was ingenious.
Thus, at his first appearance in society,
he wore shoe buckles of his own in
vention which dazzled every eye. They
were an inch long and five inches
broad, almost touching the floor on
either side of his slippers.
At his first court ball he awed the
greatest Of the dandies. His coat was
pink silk with white cuffs, his waist
coat white silk, embroidered with vari-
Gus colored foil and adorned with
French paste, and his hat was orna-
mented with two rows Of steel beads

Return of the Shorter Fur Goat
BIZ MARY MARSHALL.

MANY women will welcome the return
of the shorter fur coat. For one thing
the coat that extends only little below
the hips or to the knees calls for less
fur thar the full-length coat, and Is
therefore somewhat less expensive. This
season with longer skirts full-lengtn
coats are somewhat longer than they
were last season, and in having last
seasons coat remodeled 1t is often bet
ter to have it made irto a shorter
coat than to attempt to have 1t length
ened with additional pelts.
Tht fur coat designed for rather in
formal wear is usually full length ana
is made with some sort of flare. There
are evening wraps of the shorter sort,
made to be worn drawn closely about
the hips, down to the kl.eeS, with the
longer, fuller skirts of the evening dress
left free below the knees. Then there
are shorter coats of the sports sort
suitable for general daytime wear as
we'll as for motoring and spectator
sports. These are usually straight ana
simple in cut.
Goats of this sort are worn more
effectively over woolen dresses than
those of silk. A tweed or tweedlike
jersey in brown and beige may be
chosen to go with coat of any OF
the brown furs, while a material SHOW
ing tones of black and gray is effective
, with black furs.
This weeks circular gives directions
for making some simple, effective
needlework stitches, useful for adding
a note of trimming to children s
dresses and informal table linen. II
you would like copy, please send a
stamped, self-addressed envelope u

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. ]. M. @. writes: MY 5-year-old
boy steals things around the house and
gives them to his playmates. have
tried every method to cure him without
success"
Answer-All children like to make an
impression on their playmates. Your
bow. not having other legitimate ways,
is compelled to steal things from you.
Tell him you are happy to have MIN
share his things with his playmates,
but that he has no right to take Wnat
belongs to you. II he wants goooleS
he may have them if he will ask you Tor
them. II he gives his own things away,
try to be patient about it, but give him
a better sense of property rights so that
he leaves yours alone. AT the present
time he seems unable to diferentlate
between what is his, which by rights he
should do with as he pleases. and yours,
which he should leave alone. You may
have two leaflets that deal with this
subject, 1.-The Value Of an Allowance
and Helping the Child to Tell the
Truth" to help you clear up and eno
the situations causing the trouble. A
self addressed, stamped envelope Is the
only requirement for these leaflets.
Anxious Mother writes: my 3-year-
old daughter is difficult to teach obedl-
ence. She Is an only child, forward,
afraid of no one (you should be happy
that she isn't, pretends not to hear
when spoken to- won't eat bite without
coaxing, says I won't when asked to do
anything, slaps at people when they
speak nicely to her, so that they say.
Isn't it too bad she is so naughty. and
such a bright child, too!' Imagine my
feelings"
Answer.-This is quite typical only
child-very bright, curious, demanding
attention by .refusals to eat, by slapping
instead of speaking, by refusals to mind
because 1t occasions SO much "rumpus"
and living up to the reputation you
have attached to her of being
naughty but bright child"
1t Is plain to see that everything she
does is the inevitable result of the treat
ment she is getting at home. The eat
ing situation could be cleared up over
night. Why should her eating or not
eating either please or annoy you? It
shouldn't She is old enough to know
when she Is hungry, and If she doesn't
want to eat well-"If you aren't hungry
dear, then don't eat" If you are truly
Indifferent to this you'll find that over
night she'll discover that it is expedi-
ent to eat and not wait to be coaxed.
You have brought this situation about
and you can end 1t.
am sure our discipline series would
be immensely helpful to you. Please
send me a lf-addresSed, stamped en-
velope and ask for What to Do When
Baby Says Won't" and List of Books
Helpful in Understanding Obedience and
Punishment" And do stop calling the
child naughty. That alone would in
spire her to continue her actions.
