Everyday Psychology
Unconscious Animosities.

We all have our aninosities toward
other people We are able to give good
reasons for some Of them, although We
do not ordinarily do So
Then we have our a1imosities, and
many Of them, for which we can give
no reason. They crop out as II by intui-
ton against people the very frst time
we meet them. If we could account
for all these unconscious animositiee
or hostilities We would come pretty
close to an understanding Of that great
unconscious mind, about which the
Freudians talk so much.
You have said: There Is something
about that person that I don't like
Whenever YOU make q remark like that
YOU may be sure that some one OF your
thousands of unconscious antmosities
is raising a disturbance deep down In
your storehouse of represSed desires and
painful memories, or perhaps In your
gallery Of unfinished or damaged pic
lures Of Yourself.
The reason why we intuitively form a
dislike for some people may, at least
in part, be explained by the principle
of Unconscious association. This pr1n-
ciple is O natural law, and deserves To
be treated with respect.
You may dislike a stranger merely
because he has q mannerism which
unconsciously reminds you Of some
other person, when for the present az
least you would rather not meet. In
that case you have unconsciously trans
ferred an old grudse from its nowhere
in your unconscious mind to the some
where of your present experience. You
are pouring old psychological wine into
new psychological bottles.
This pouring is going on all the time
You get rid Of a great deal Of the dis
tasteful sediment as you change the
vintage to new receptacles. But not
ALL Some of it is carried along Tor
years until its actual age Is forgotten.
But the taste remains, stirring up ais
tates for which you cannot account.

Since Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
went into a digging amount Of print
ing and has been successfully played on
stage and screen, Anita Loos prefers
Antilles and Palm Beach to the sands
of movieland.
And her forthcoming novel, "A Child's
Life Of Oscar Wilde" reveals q point Of
view too sophisticated for Hollywood,
even with the talkies.
Walter Pidgeon, one Of the hand
soonest leading men Of the colony, Is
noted for his glistening wavy hair. It
is luxurious and the envy Of the pro-
fession, yet 1t Is never washed. The
actor has q system Of brushing which
cleanses thoroughly, following which
massage stimulates the roots. A piece
of cotton Is used on the brush during
the process, and renewed until 1t re-
mains unsoiled from passing through
the hair.
Ladies out here long since ceased
