Everyday Psychology

Dodging Reality.

The stern hard facts of living are at
times so real that one would like to
get away from them. Individuals diff
fer enormously in their methods Of
lodging reality It seems that ones
methods of getting away from dificul-
ties are determined by ones general
personality makeup. Each personality
has a history of its own
Some have been known TO go on an
emotional spree" of which there are
many kinds. Such people belong to
the excitable type of personality Any
excitement will afford temporary relief.
But the bills have to be paid later on,
for the mind toIerates no cancellations
of debts, conducts no psychological
bankruptcy proceedings.
route of repression They have been
traits. Such dodgers often have sew
eral mansions in their souls. When one
mental retreat is threatened, they re-
greSs or withdraw to a still earlier
stage of development, even back to era
die days.
A third method is to get sick. A
person of this type Is recognized as a
hypochondriac. Successful hypo-
chondriacs are able to get pain for
every occasion.
The fourth and most common method
is to rationalize This means a clever
substitution Of feelings for reason, a
discovery of rich reasons for poor ex-
cuSes.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

Force is poor tool to use in the
elevation of the race. It never brought
us anything but trouble more con-
founded. It works evil when turned
against children. My hand is against
it and all its works. There Is more
education in one smile, in one gentle
word, in one soft touch, in one simple,
kindly action than in all the force of
the Army and the Navy rolled in one
There are those who disagree with
me. They even call me dangerous-"A
menace to the race" one man wrote
me, forgetting to send me his address.
He believed heartily that good, swift
kick in the stats" was what an imperti-
nent child needed. That would cure
them.
I insist that it viii do nothing of the
sort. To beat child Is the height of
brutality and great piece of folly. The
fault, II there were one, is not cured.
It is hushed for the moment by fear.
Fear breeds crime. Putting aside the
meanness of child beating, putting aside
the suffering of the child under such
treatment, the effect upon his mental
and spiritual growth is deadly.

Your Baby and Mine

This morning we passed hundreds Of
children going to school. Small boys
with hands dug deep in diminutive
pockets. Small girls In groups of three,
carrying their books Importantly. Tiny
children, clinging to the hands of their
mothers, headed for kindergarten How
do they feel about school? You might
be astonished If you knew.
Ask your own children what their
most vivid remembrances of school are
With one of my children 1t was terror,
of she knew not what, crystallized one
day by teacher who "bawled her out"
for sitting on stone step; with the
boy, who, when he inadvertently pulled
a shade down too far and 1t crashed to
the floor, was directed to find the
janitor. He hunted for him with aw-
full fear In his heart. He was sure
some dire punishment lurked around
the corner.

MY teacher hit Johnny Vests hand

Suppose it isn't true. The poor,
shivering child doesn't know it. Older
children accentuate their own courage
by seeming indifference to these ter
rors. They show their superiority by
magnifying the dangers of school,
The child goes to school swamped by
his emotions of fear. He Is conscious
of his ignorance, and that. because Of
1t, he may tranSgress and find himself
in the morass of teachers disapproval
The mother must bring these fears
to the light of day and erase them
She can do this best by questioning the
child. Ask him If he likes school and
If he enjoys his playmates and his
teachers. His half-hearted response
should be enlightening to her.
If there are fears, uproot them. Talk
him out of them. Remind him of de-
lights of school. Plenty of playmates.
Games to play. Songs to sing. Books
to be read. If his mind Is focused on

Children are easily cowed by adults,
and are fearful of speaking up for them
selves. "You mustn't talk" is taken
literally to mean that while they may
burn with Indignation and sense of
unfair treatment they must keep 1t to
themselves. For explaining they may be
punished or ridiculed, the latter being
worse than the first.
Fears burrow deeply, making sore
places and completes" They destroy
the child's ability to do successful work
in school. If the mother realizes their
significance, she can easily uncover
these fears.

Love Is the better way Help the

Suppose it cannot be done? Shall we

are oblong in shape. One edge is
rolled, and you may best be able to do
this by rolling the material over thin

Then the petal is gathered up in a
curve from one end of the roll to the
other You can see how this is done
from the sketch. The gathering thread
is drawn tight and the petal automatic

Put together your rose with eight or
nine or more petals and sew some pearl

MoDERNIsTIC FURNISHINGS MoDERNIsTIC FLoo
COVERINGS TYPE.

There are two kinds of textile floor
coverings, yard goods and rugs. The
former come in rolls and are sold in
any quantity the purchaser wishes.
Rugs are made in various sizes and
shapes If they are Oriental, they do
not come in machine manufactured
sizes and shapes, but follow the custom
of decoration in the country from which
they come. Do not expect to get a
9x12- foot rug in these handmade prod
ucts, for instance, unless you wish a
rug recently made on order from an
American concern.
Designs in Oriental rugs do not vary,
but follow tradition of tribes, countries,
family patterns, etc. Domestic floor
covering designs fiuctuate to suit forth
coming styles. Just now the latest
vogue is for medernistic designs. Apart
from these the patterns are not so
much stressed as colors. The changes
in these are Transforming. A new note
is introduced into modernistic patterns,
for, instead of stressing geometric de-
signs alone, floral elements are intro
duced which tone them down and make
them less radical.
The homemaker must not forget that
modernistic floor coverings are suited
only to rooms decorated In naodernistic

Now, Black Pussy was there. She was

no liver and milk there. Nevertheless.
she felt that that liver and milk were
hers. So when she was awakened by
q slight noise and discovered what she
at first thought was another cat--a
black-and-white cat-eating her liver,
she was filled with immediate and very
great anger.
Black Pussy bounced out Of her bas-
rket with her back arched, her tail
swollen. her eyes blazing with anger.
She would teach this strange cat les
son never to be forgotten! She started
to growl way down as deep in her
throat as she could. Get out of herei"
she growled, and dug her claws into
the floor.
At the sound OF that growl the
strange cat paused in his eating and
slowly lifted a great bushy tail. That
great bushy tail spread out and grad
ually covered the strangers back. Did
you ever see toy balloon collapse when
a pin was stuck in it, Black Pussy
collapsed in Just the same way. Her
back went down: her tail went down;
all the hair that had BEEN standing on

away. She had recognized Jimmy

Jimmy took two steps forward. Black
Pussy bounded to the far corner of the
shed. There she crouched, shivering
with fear. Jimmy Skunk just gave one
look at Black Pussy and then went on
eating. When he had finished the
liver, he drank the milk Then he be-
gan to investigate the shed. He found
Black Pussy's basket, 1t contained a
most comfortable looking bed. Jimmy
decided to try it. He clirled up in It
and went to sleep.
AS for Black Pussy, she saw her
chance to get out She was the most
upset cat that ever lived She made
straight for the barn and Their she hid
in the darkest corner she could find,
while Jimmy Skunk peacefully slept in

NANCY PACE
Does Your Child Wear
Clothes Too Large?
M FLORENCE Ia aANKE.

''Why Is It that some children look
so cunning, so well dressed, and others
look so gawky, so awkward and so
poorly dressed2 It isn't that the second
child does not have money spent upon
it, that's sure" Nancy was musing as
she watched the. children passing her
door on the way to school.
There was Mathilda James, whose
father was well off, but whose mother
was Just a bit CLOSE That was why
she had Mathilda's hair cut in an un-
becoming ana close bob. This hair
cut lasted longer. 1t was not necessary
to go back to the barber quite so often.
Perhaps that idea of economy explained
the dress, which was too big. 1t had
been chosen with an eye to using 1t
next year as well as this. So the sleeves
were too long, the skirt was too long,
the belt was too low. BY next year
the lines would be right, for Mathilda
would have grown up to them.
The same thing was true of small
boys clothes. Here was George with
the dreadful haircut which was
achieved by shaving the back OF the
head near the neck. Here was the suit
which would fit him beautifully next
year, but which was too long as to
trousers and sleeves this year. Even
boys appearances are improved by the
right waist line as witness the same
suit size or two smaller on the boy
beside George. Stanley has a mother
who spends less on her sons clothes
than does Georges mother. She buys
more of them, it is true, but she realizes
the quality is not so important, since
they will soon be outgrown, anyway
Even when clothes are purchased large
enough to allow for next years growth
the plan is poor, because by the second
year the clothes have lost their fresh
look, and so the child still looks be-
draggled.

One gets nowhere standing idle. Be-

go work in my vineyard" Is COM
mand of God to all men, His vineyard
is broad and includes the whole world
of human interest and wellbeing. Every
kind of useful work is work in HIS
vineyard.
The man who disregards this COM
mand is out of place in Gods universe.
God has built His universe so that 1t
co-operates with every one who works.
But, on the other hand, it thwarts, de-
feats and finally destroys every one
who idles.

civilization are those nations where the

Wherever the people are slow and
lethargic you will find a backward ma

The same law applies TO individuals
The man who backs away from work
becomes a backward man. The men
we see moving forward in life are
workers. Life gives its best only to
those who work. Activity is the very
law Of life. Inactivity is a trait of
death. The man who sl1uns the fatigue

Before the hair is quite dry arrange
your waves into place with the aid of

If your hair Is only slightly wavy, 1t
is good plan to have your hairdresser
give you a finger wave at regular in

yourself with your fingers and comb. A
little practice is necessary to acquire
the knack of flnger-waving your own
