and took the baby out for a wawk in
his little carriage, and as luck always
seems to have 1t, met Mrs. Shooster
wheeling her little grand dawter, the
poor thing.
Who, Mrs. Shooster? pop sed, and
ma sed, No, the baby. Such o homely
child Shes just the same age as Willie,
and Mrs. Shooster is always Dragging
that she weighs so much more. She
cant put 1t on quality. Anyway, while
we were standing there tawking, a To-
tographer came along with a camera
looking for children to take pictures of
in the hopes that their parents would
buy them. Well, Immediately Mrs.
Shooster was all agog to have little
Mildreds picture taken. and not wish

Willie twisted his face up into an exc

everything he could to make himelf un-

concerned, and after putting up a losing
fite for about 10 minutes the fotog-
rapher gave 1t up. He was quite put
out about it. He never even realized
what q remarkable thing it was for a
child of that age to exhibit so much

Everyday Psychology
Psychological Questions.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

During the past 80 years psychology
has assumed new place among the
arts and sciences of living. Before
1900 psychology was content to say
how human beings behave. Today It
is trying to find out why they behave
as they do.
From the old psychology we get
answers; from the new psychology we
get questions. 1 state few Of these
problems at random:
/. Which rules the world, emotion or
reason?
q. Is there such thing as q normal
mind?
g. Arrange the following in the order
of their Importance in creating your
personality: The first five years Of life,
your present social and economic en-
vironment, your ancestry.
f. Has human nature reached the
limit of its possible perfectibility?
S. What is the difference between
the conscious mind and the uncon-
scious mind?
6. why do irtroverts suffer mental
breakdowns more readily than ex-
traverts?
Z. Is psychology an art or science?
Answer these seven questions and
YOU have made more than . begin
ming In understanding what Is meant
by modern psychology.

resented as o camerai
There are many beautiful women who
do not photograph well and, on the
other hand, many women by no means
beautiful who receive special benefac-
tons from cameras.
Is this justice?
Is this art?
Well, 1t ceases to be Justice when A.
woman who isn't beautiful Is made less
so in the developing room; but In a
larger and elastic sense the scales bal
ance when women who are not beauti-
full are made to appear so. while those
who actually are are slightly misrep-
resented.
In one case the woman who isn't
beautiful feels good because she feels
more attractive In the picture, and in
the other the woman who is beautiful
and photographs badly finds comfort In
the fact that In reality she Is beautiful.
No important damage Is done. But this
business of being photographed Is an
art-and Art. unlike figures, sometimes
does lie. For instance, know q movie
actress who is celebrated as q beauty
because she screens remarkably we'll In
private life she Is simply an ordinarily
attractive woman. Makeup does the
trick and produces the astonishing illu-
sion. But there are some woman, very
beautiful in their natural state, who
screen atrociously and are, oddly, be-
yond all help Of makeup. Thus, the
art OF making-up seems to be the spe-
cial friend Of those who are able to
respond to It's friendship and need it
most. Again. the scales Of justice seem
TO balance. 1t Is silly to gid the lilyI
There Is another and deeper din1en-
sion OF beauty which the camera can
not apprehend-that's personality. I
know some actors and actresses who
are celebrated for their stage personali-
ties, but in private life are almost en-
tirely lacking in "the divine flame"
Indeed, there are in the ranks of the
great mass Of women many who posi-
lively become beautiful simply because
Of the radiant vitality of their natures
and minds. But personalities cannot be
photographed by the ordinary camera,
or even X-rayed, and yet these are more
actual and significant than that surface
beauty which can be captured by the
lens.
OF what Importance Is It all, except
as our egos are concerned? Happiness
alone Is beauty-all other conceptions
Of beauty are trivial and mere fractions
Of the whole.

NANCY PACE
Red Flannels Driven Out
by Warm Houses.
By FLORENCE Ia aANKE.

With the nippy days of Fall Nancy
found that her son and niece had to
get into warmer underwear and night
clothes than they had worn during the
Summer months. She did ,ot try the
foolish idea of letting them continue to
wear the sleeveless, lightweight gar
ments. To do this and have them COM
Portable she would have had to keep
the windows closed. Nancy was mod
ern enough to know that night air was
not poisonous. But she was also mod
ern enough to realize that draughts
were bad and uncovered legs and arms
might get blue with cold.
For day time wear abe chose knit
underwear. She realized that this
knitted texture was more absorbent
than any plain woven material could
possibly be. The styles she chose had
short sleeves and short legs. BY using
these the old struggle to keep the
stocking smooth over bulky Winter I'M
derwear became a thing Of the past.

MOTHERS
When Dyeing Clothes.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

With three small daughters to
clothe I have to practice little econo-
mics and one of my pet ones is to
rejuvenate their clothing by dyeing.
About twice year go on "dyeing
spree" and gather together all the
clothes which are still good, but faded.
1 always use about twice as much salt
as is called for and boil the materials
twice as long, for this gives a much
better color and is less likely to fade
so quickly. When dyeing articles I
plan to make over always wind a
few yards Of white thread on a stick
and dye 1t too. Sometimes dye faded
stockings to match the garments and
thus we have a whole ensemble.

Meanwhile Jimmy Skunk had shuts
fed along home and Bobby Coon had
gone over to the Green Forest and
climbed tree TO think things over.
Bobby says he can think better when
encounter with Jimmy Skunk and how
Jimmy Skunk had ordered him away:
He began to chuckle. Bobby Coon"
said he, as II he were talking 10 some
one else. st am proud of you. You
didn't back up an inch. You wanted
to though. It's good thing for you
that your nose was fliled with the

Jimmy won't try that trick again"
Meanwhile, Jimmy Skunk was doing
q little talking to himself. We'll. well,
WE'LL" said Jimmy. Bobby Coon did
surprise me. He has more courage
than thought for. I have more re-
spect for him than I ever had before.
He didn't back up, and there are very
few have refused to back up for Jimmy
Skunk. Probably I'll have TO share my
dinner with him every night now. but
I'm sure Wen get along nicely. just
wonder II he surprised himself as much
as he surprised me-"
The next night Jimmy and Bobby
arrived together at Farmer Browns
mouse. Ills time jimmy SKUNK Wenb
in first. Bobby Coon didn't hesitate.
He was right at Jimmy's heels. When
they got in there they discovered that
Farmer Browns Boy was standing In
the kitchen doorway and Mother Brown
was beside him. Bobby Coon felt
little shy; he was bashful. Jimmy
Skunk didn't hesitate at all. He walked
right up to the plate of food and be-
gan to eat.
Bobby Coon hesitated only a moment:
then he realized that If he were to have
his share, he must get busy. II Jimmy
Skunk wasn't afraid, why should he
be afraid? He wouldn't be. No, sir;
he wouldn't be! So. he in his turn
walked up to the plate of food and
began eating. Jimmy Skunk said moth
ing. He didn't once stamp his feet.
Bobby said nothing He didn't once

and Bobby; they touched cheeks rs

Shocking adds smart note TO deco
ration this season. 1t is used instead OF
gathers. 1t may be in the same tone
as the material on which the embroid-
cry is done or it may be in some con-
trasting hue to accent secondary color
in a scheme of decoration.
Shocking is used to advantage In a
chamber having a flounced bedspread,
dresser cover, bench cushion and cur
tains of soft-finish textile. Such a
bed room can be exquisite when done In
taffeta, without the filling that makes
1t stiff. The one drawback for the aver
age purse is the cost of such decoration.
However, the same treatment can be
charming when carried out in a textile
as inexpensive as scrim of good quail
ty. 1t Is mistake to use f1imsy fabric,
for the shocking is worthy of good tex
tiles.
Both the textile and the embroidery
medium should be fast colors If they are
to be laundered. Taffeta, or any textile
IN which there Is danger Of colors run
ming, should be dry cleaned. Wash silk
can be used and the articles made from
1t be home laundered. AS it Is impor-
tant to have decorations of this sort
kept immaculate, the ease with which
the pieces can be Numbered should not
