Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
when It Rains II Pours. !.

When sorrows come, they come not
single spies, but In hattalions."
So wrote Shakespeare, when he por-
trayed the mind of the trouble haunted
King of Denmark. So we all think
when annoyances, big and little, make
everything go wrong" At such times
We are pretty likely to feel that, no
matter what we do, things are bound
to go wrong. We take a fatalistic at
titude. and feel like just sitting back
and letting the powers of evil have their
moments. Then it is that the book of
Job makes congenial reading.
There Is, surmise, a perfectly logical
explanation for troubles seeming to
come in punches. In the first place,
they do not SO come. We merely i'm
agine for the time being nothing but
trouble: We see trouble where none eY-
lists. It's our own mental attitude.
Have you never observed that some
thing line nine-tenths of all the things
you worry about really never happen?
As Abraham Lincoin's philosophy went,
This also shall pass" ...
What are the elementary psychology
cal facts about our troubles, real and
imaginary?
Some real trouble, of course, starts
things going. We try to get it out of
the way. More often than we suppose,
If we fail, then the imaginary trou-
bles begin. We have for the time be-
ing lost our grip on our surroundings,
We have lost our morale. The door Is
opened little wider and in pops an
other annoyance which ordinarily we
would not have noticed.
Being annoyed by the second invader,
We begin to look around and see all
sorts of dire things that might happen.
AS we enlarge upon the unwelcome
images. they loom large they begin to
come in battalionS.
The psychological formula is simply
this:
/. Some real trouble or annoyance
and failure to effect tolerable adj
justment to 1t.
2. The lowering of the morale.
3. The expectation of some other
trouble.
ton. !
5. A further retreat in consequence
of lowering morale.
8. The conclusion that ours Is

When Salvatore and Caterina Patti
went to the old Aston Place Opera House
to sing they used to take their youngest
child, Adelina, with them.
Four years old, with en-black hair
and eyes, she wandered around back

the theater. Later, at home, she re-
enacted the things she had seen and
heard. She lived in a world of charm
ing illusion.
Her home was a veritable temple Of
music. Salvatore and Caterina Patti
had been well known opera singers In
italy. Caterina's four children by a
former marriage were all vocalistS. Two
daughters she had had by Patti were
studying for concert careers. All day
the house was filled with the conflict of
singing voices. Through this unending
rivalry Adelina wandered unconcern-

Her sister Amalia had trouble doing
the shake properly. 1t annoyed Adelina,
now at the mature age of 6.

demanded scornfully. do it like this. "

PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF
NOTED MEN AND WOMEN
Rubinstein Revealed Dying Agony
to Former Pupil.
BY j. p. GLASS.

Even In death Rubinstein had kept
las he always did-his word"
This declaration comes from Lillian
Nichia, well known pupil of the great
Anton Rubinstein, pianist and COM
poser, who formerly in st. Petersburg
was as much of car in matters
musical as was the Emperor OF an the
Russias in affairs of state.
Rubinstein was the first man to pass
judicially upon the ability Of Ossip
Gabrilowitsch. present conductor OF the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra, who has
charmed untold numbers Of Americans
by his piano-playing. When Gabril-
owitsch, at 9 years of age, seemed to
show unusual promise, his parents sue
ceeded In getting Rubinstein to give
him hearing.
He has a real gift" said the great
man 1t was dictum which deter
mined the boys future, for the COM
poser, as the statement of Nine. Nichia
indicates, possessed stern estimate OF
the value of truth.
It was startling event that ELECTED
Lillian NichiaS declaration.
On stormy night this lady had
dinner with Rubinstein. Years after
ward she could recall the terrific gale
that 'howled around the house, causing
the tirnbers to creak, and setting loose
weird means beneath the caves.
The wind was exceptional, even In
st. Petersburg. ~
Rubinstein listened to an exception
ally loud blast speculatively.
What" he asked his pupil-"What do
these winds represent 10 your ,nind?"
Nichia shrugged her shoulders,
shiveringly.
They are like the moaning Of lost
souls" she replied.
This observation had the effect of
starting a discussion upon a matter of
unending interest-death and the life
after.
There may be a future" Rubin
stein admitted. To which his pupil re-
piled with conviction, There is a
future-a great and beautiful future"
She paused and then added dramat-

. The, other night we. had dinner with
one of Americas leading singers and
versatile comedians. A third friend
was present. After the party" she
said: ct was strange that during the
entire evening Billy didn't say one
smart or clever thing. There was no
attempt to be witty"
This was an unconscious compli-
ment. Like the prosaic business man,
this comedian locks his ONCE, or what
ever comedians lock after work hours,
and thinks of other things. His smart
remarks and wise-cracks are che tools
of his trade. Even the plumber tries
to forget his blow torch and wrench

ically, IF die first shall come
to you and prove this"
Rubinstein seemed impressed. He
looked at her gravely.
Good, Liloscha," he said with the
utmost seriousness that Is q bargain
And if I die first will come to you"
It was six. years later, in Paris, that
night, with a cry Of agony and despair
ringing in her ears, such. she said
later. as I hope may never be dupli-
Gated in my lifetime"
Rubinstein's face was close to hers
1t was the face Of a man caught in a
maelstrom of most terrible emo
tions-hopeless fear, remorse. anger.
Startled, filled with fright, she sprang
out of bed and turned on the lights.
Everything was as it should be. Hell
room was in perfect order and quiet.
1T was only a dream" she told her.
SELF She had forgotten her converse
ton with Rubinstein years before on
that stormy night in st. Petersburg
She returned to her bed to sleep.
The next day while reading LIE Petit
Journal she suffered q terrific shock
Rubinstein had died Suddenly the night
before, a dispatch said.
1t was four years later that she met
Teresa Carreno, who also had been a
pupil OF RublnSten-She and Lillian
Nichia often met at their teachers

quainted with the circumstances at

life.
He. died with q cry Of agony which
It is impossible to describe" she told
Nichia.
What had brought this terrible ejac-
ulation from the dying composer? Was
1t caused by a physical agony? Or
were his eyes confronted by some horror
which death disclosed to them?
Seemingly he made an effort to APP
prise his old pupil of his distress-or
at least some sympathetic chord in her
picked 1t up. We can scarcely wonder
that she said afterward, IT knew
then that, even in death, Rubinstein
had kept, as he always did his wore. y
