mind to give huge number Of the
people a good time. inclosed space
of IL furlongs.
In this he set tables covered with
unlimited amounts of all sorts of foods,
ready cooked, and suficient to last for
several days.
Then, in order that the foods might
be well washed down, he had series
of ponds constructed and filled with
various costly wines and liquors.
The diners had only to dip their cups
in these miniature lakes to acquire the
wherewithal of quick whoopee; or, If
they had no cups, they could lie down
and sip their drinks direct.
This, it must be admitted, was gen.
erous service. But 1t does not compare
with the prodigality Of Ariamnes, a
wealthy Catalan.
It is true that Ariamnes did not rival
the Avernian King in the way in which
he dispensed his wine. But otherwise
he considerably outclasSed him.
For some reason or other, he made
a resolution to entertain all his cour-
trymen for a whole year and to do SO
at his individual expense.
To accomplish his purpose, he di-
vided the roads throughout the prov
inces into convenient days journeys.
In eacn OF CneSe DIVISIONS ne caused pa
vilions capable Of holding from 800
persons upward to be erected.
For a year before artifcers had been
employed in making large caldrons,
which Ariamnes now placed in the pa
vilions. These were kept constantly
full of cooking meats.
Every day quantities Of bulls, swine,
sheep and other cattle were slain and
dressed. In addition, untold measures
of corn and barley meal were kneaded
for bread. And, of course, there was
plenty of wine on hand always.
The hospitable Arian1nes did not con-
fine his generosity to the inhabitants.
He left q standing order to them and
to his servants.
"Let no strangers pass through our
country without partaking Of our feast, I"
he said.
It was an order strictly obeyed.
How Ariamnes kept up this feast for
q whole year Athenoeus does not ex-
plain. He must have had great wealth.
Certainly living was an easy PROPOSE
ton In Galatia that year.

Everyday Psychology
Ancient Dream Suggestions.
Bx On. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Pindar (522-443 B. CO supposed that
during sleep the mind was not so much
weighed down by the body. It could,
therefore, work with more freedom than
when the body was awake. He held
that all dreams had something to do
with the future, but that only small
number of the dreams came true.
Hippocrates (460-370 B. CO., the re-
puted father of medicine" believed
shat some dreams indicated Ill health;
chat others had some connection with
things divine.
Democritus (46O-s7o B. CO. believed
that the atmosphere was full of pic
lures Of the objects that were on the
earth. These pictures were not exact
representations, but rather semblances.
He held that these senblances, or
visionary pictures, attacked the soul
during sleep, thus causing dreams.
Plato (427-347 B. CO. supposed that
the liver was the seat of the soul. Ac-
cordingly, he thought that dreams were
generated in that organ. He also taught
that dreams had some connection with
future events.
Aristotle (ss4-322 B. c. supposed
that pictures of the things seen during
the day remained in the eyes. During
sleep these pictures were revived, caus-
ing dreams.
The foregoing might be taken as a
history Of the dream theories during
the 500-year period Immediately pre-
ceding the Christian era. You will
notice that even the ancients made
some progress In formulating plausible
theories about the cause and signifl-
canoe Of dreams.

Selfish Fears.


Fear Is not voluntary. Children do
not enjoy being afraid and they win
avoid what causes fear whenever they
can. But they have way Of using fear,
Of actually creating fear to serve their
own ends.
A little boy had been the only child
In the family for five years. Then
baby sister was born and the mother
and father and relatives rejoiced great
~. The little boy seemed little grave
about the whole affair but showed no
other indication of jealousy. But he
began to make demands upon his
mother that he never had made before.
He had been In the habit of going to
bed very cheerfully. His mother gave
him the little assistance he needed and
his father or grandmother, whoever
happened to be handy, escorted him to
his room, tucked him in and turned of
the light. That was all that was neces-
sary for the child TO slip OF into long
nights restfuI sleep. This was changed.

Additional Space in Closets


Let us imagine it is clothes press
Are there no frocks hanging in it that
you never wear? II so, the room they
occupy Is wasted. Pack any trock
away If It is out of season. Give 1t
away, If 1t is neither needed nor worn
any more. Or If It is to be converted
into something else, such as a rug or q
quilt, cut 1t up and put the pieces away
where they belong. ready to be used
when time offers for the work, or pack
the garment in box and put it In the
storeroom or closet until wanted. II
will occupy less space in either of these
ARRANGEMENTS, and the much-desired
closet room will be at your service.
Consider shoes and hats with this
same idea In mind. There probably are
one or two pairs that can be boxed for
another season, or given away now or
thrown away, If past any usefulness.
If YOU have only such things as you
are using at the present time, see II
they cannot be stored away to better
advantage. If so, the extra space they
now take is wasted. Find how to re-
cover it,
Closets of a kitchen are sure to have
waste space in them. I know OF one
housekeeper who is sorely pressed for
places to put things. vet she has a
one in which a flour barrel used to
stand, besides having much additional
room. It is crowded with motley
array. such as old wooden grape and
fruit baskets and old wooden boxes in
which goods have come from a grocery.
These she carefully gives space TO, be-
cause she has an open fireplace and
some day these old pieces Of wood
may come in handy. The amusing
thing about it is that she lives In an
apartment kept so hot that windows
have to be opened whenever the
pleasure of an open fire Is hers; more
over, for the fire she always has ample
firewood. There are many housewives
just as inconsistent In the use Of closet
space.
Consider the medicine closet. It
probably Is crowded. Yet on each shelf
there are quite likely to be bottles of
medicine, leftovers from prescriptions,
partly used. Most of these will never
be needed again, or II they are, who
will remember which bottle contains
the desired medicine? No one dareS to
use the medicine, no one cares to throw
away that for which good money was
spent. Meanwhile the top Of the closet
If 1t Is a portable one, does duty as an
extra shelf because Of room wasted, al
though occupied on the inside shelves.
Few homes have not such waste
closet space that can be made useful
provided prompt attention is given to
clearing out useless things. Now Is
the time to do the work, for delay
means inaction and the discomfort Of
overcrowded closets.

ing to his side. He eobbed Historically
that he was afraid, afraid, and that she
must stay with him.
Now began long series Of fears. He
couldn't go into the yard to play be-
cause he was afraid. Nor to the store
on an GRAND. His mother must not &c
out without taking him with her because
he was afraid to stay alone. Any at
tempt to force him to do as he usually
did ended In his having crying ~
or q tantrum. Mother must stay with
him. He was afraid.
BY now he was a tiYnid child, cover.
ing at every shadow, starting at every
sound. He was perfectly miserable and
made the entire household uneasy. The
fear that he had conjured up to hold
his mothers attention had gotten the
upper hand of him and he was truly
afraid of the vague ideas that haunted
him.
when such thing happens we have
to recondition the child. He does not
know that he Is using fear to hold his
mother close to him. Nor do we tell
him so. It is sufficient that we know
the cause of the fear. we do our work
indirectly as possible. The 5-year-old
child can be helped greatly through
the kindergarten class. Association with
children who have been successfully
weaned from the infantile stage of
mother care viii help the undeveloped
child to emerge from his bondage.
We begin to teach the child to help
with the baby who Is really the root OF
the trouble. We try to interest the
older child In doing little services for
the younger one. 1t Is natural to love
those dependent upon us and once we
know ourselves superior in any way to
the object of our jealous fear we lose
the fear. Force and scolding are USE
less. We have to work wisely and
gently and undo the mischief that a
lack Of foresight has wrought.

FOOD PROBLEMS

Fish Facts.


When you buy or order fish allow q
half pound for each person If you are
serving the fish as the mainstay Of q
meal. If you are serving it for a single
course you need but half that amount,
a quarter pound per person. If you are
going to have fried fish. then allow one
filIet for each person for course, or
two flIlets if the fish is the main
courseA
It is not difficult to fry fish If you go
about it in the right way, and certainly
to any one who likes fish at all, q crisp,
we'll fried fish with tartare sauce Is a
delicious dish.
Remember that you should have good
clear fat, and enough OF 1t, In large
enough pan but not too large. Have
the fish well cleaned and thoroughly
dry before beginning. If the -four looks
pasty on the fish, then you have not
dried it sufficiently. Having Toured the
fish, shake off any superfiuous hour.
Have an egg well beaten on plate and
dip the Toured fish into 1t. Now have
ready a plate in which is a mixture OF
fine, dry bread crumbs, mixed with q
little salt and pepper. Take the hsh
fresh from the egg and dip into the
bread crumbs.
The fish should then be placed in the
hot fat preferably in a wire frying bas-
ket. Fry to a golden brown and drain
on white paper before serving.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

In a recent article one reader was
intent on discovering some means Of
removing both cod liver oil and orange
Juice stains from children's clothes.
I have in front of me pile of letters
from mothers who saw that question
and fastened to answer it. A number
of mothers offered the name Of the same
product. an advertised one, which EVIL
IDENTIFY Is very effective. However, since
it is a proprietary article, we cannot
mention it in this department. It Is
an iron-clad rule that we must refrain
from discussing any advertised products
through the column, although we ap-
preciate having mothers call them to
our attention.
Two of the suggestions can be men,
toned here. One mother said she rub
bed the oil stain with grease (lard will
dol. then washed it in the regulation
way. This should work well. I have a
childhood remembrance Of seeing the
laundress rub lard into car grease
stains, after which they came out like
q charm.
orange Juice stains may be routed
by soaking In sour milk, then washing
in soap and water. Another reader
suggested that the Good Housekeeping
Magazine In a past issue suggested
carbon tetrachlorid for these stains. If
YOU are good at guessing you may note
a marked resemblance to this chemical
| in a well advertised cleaning fluid which
would probably work the same way. !

Fashions of Today
By MARIE sHALNAR.
Many Colors.

Seldom has the color outlook been
more satisfactory for Spring than 1t is
this year. There are no two or three
supremely smart colors which women
feel they must wear to indicate their
knowledge of fashion, and among all
the colors offered to us for our selec.
ton there Is not q single one of those
strikingly trying colors such as fuchsia
or mustard that so often confront us at
the end of the Winter.
Navy blue is possibly the best selec-
ton for the Spring street ensemble, not
because it Is always smart at this time
of the year. but because it has been
definitely revived by the influential
dressmakers. Brown Is less happy
choice for the street ensemble, not only
because it always seems little "stuffy''
at this time of the year, but because we
have all been fed up on browns this
Winter and are glad to try our luck
with something else.
There Is much talk about the smart
ness Of gray for Spring. The dark
shades, that appear to best advantage
in covert and other fine twilled mate
rails, appear in many of the smartest
of the severely tailored jacket suits.
But lighter shades Of gray are likely to
be unbecoming to those Of brunette or
mixed coloring.

Lamb Chops.

A whole meal dish has lamb chops as
its foundation and combines apple, to-
mato and onion most appetizingly. For
each person allow to lamb chops, one
not peeled, but cored; one small onion
and balls Of raw potato. Scar the
lamb chops and lay them In a baking
dish, together 10 the other tngredi-
ents. We used two small potatoes for
each person. Put one-fourth inch Of
water In the baking dish and bake in o
moderate oven-350 degrees Fahrenheit
for As minutes. For serving, lay the
chops in the center Of the platter and
garnish with vegetables and fruit. An
other way to serve this dish-and In
cidentally one which would eliminate
serving dishes-would be to bake the
chops in individual casseroles.

after the waiter, with Jack following

he pulled out would have been for you.

The modern artist hair-dresser can
do wonderful things with your hair.
But all your hair-needs can not be
supplied in the beauty shop. You
must help at home. And that's where
Danderine comes in. Danderine is so
simple and easy to use. Each time
you arrange your hair just put little
of this delicately fragranced liquid on
your brush. AS you draw it through
the hair, Danderine removes excess
oil, cleanses, brings out the natural
color, gives your hair an amazing new
lustre.
Used consistently, Danderine dis
solves the crust of dandruff, keeps
the scalp comfortable and healthy /;
stops falling hair; helps make your
hair grow long silky and abundant.
Your hair is so much easier to ar
range and stays in place when Dam
derine is used. Waves "set" with it
look nicer; stay in longer. Five mil
lion bottles used a year!
