believed, it is nothing short Of an ordeal
for Mrs. Garner to get him into the
hands Of tailor when he needs a new
suit. Only when he is "at bay" will he
submit to the tailor,s tape measure.
One day. he appeared on the floor Of
the house with q becoming brown suit.
It was q subject Of wide comment. The
boys in the press gallery who see him
every day were the most impressed.
Some Of them set out to get the story
Of Jacks new suit" And before very
long everybody in the gallery had been
told the story.
Mrs. Garner had "tricked" him again.
After futile pleading with him she hit
on q scheme. She had him downtown
with her one day and suggested that ne
stop in shop to see piece Of material
that had attracted her.
Unsuspecting, Garner agreed. As soon
as they were inside Mrs. Garner gave o
pre-arranged signal and the tailor made
for him with his tape measure. Too
late Garner realized what was happen
ing, and he had to submit.
While his old friend and crony-the
late Speaker congratulated, Garner
delighted in twitting him about his fas-
tidiousness in dress. Longworth was the

Incidentally, it will be interesting to
watch what Mr.. and Mrs. Garner do
in q social way II he becomes Speaker.
Both of them care nothing at all for
Washingtons social whirl and have
steadily avoided it.
They stuck close to their modest two
room suite in a downtown hotel in the
past When they lived ut old Congress
Hall on the hill, Garner would play
bridge with some close friends at night,
but that was about all.
AS Speaker he will have thrust on him
certain social duties he can't avoid.
But it's pretty safe bet that, Speaker
or no Speaker, he'll avoid society as
much as he possibly can.

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
By MILDRED MOCKABEE.

THIS very swinging type Of writ
ing suggests an impulSive, charm
ing personality. The writer is
II probably a person who expresses
her emotions freely. Her nat
ural disposition is a cheerful, happy
one. but this tendency to say what she
thinks may. at times, cause trouble.
She perhaps has not learned the dipio-
macy of restraining comments when
There are more curves than straight
lines in her writing, but 1t is not the
rounded writing Of an unSophisticated,
inexperienced person. 1t shows, how
ever. an expectation Of the good things
of life. Perhaps she has had so few
disappointments or hurts so far in her
life that she has no realization Of the
Seamy side.
She possibly is a very enthusiastic
individual, enjoying many different
pleasures. Unfortunately, this enthus-
iasm may quickly wane leaving her al
ways searching for something new and
different.
This may be true Of any work she
attempts. Beginning in very whole
hearted way, she may soon tire and
want another occupation. She SEEM
ingly has not learned to concentrate
her energies in any one line OF en-
deaVOf.
If she could be willing to devote
much time and energy, she might find
success as q writer. Her ability to ex-
press her thoughts and feelings easily
and clearly would be Of assistance in
this work. In addition, she appears to
have vivid Imagination, which would
also aid her. Playwriting might espe-
cially appeal to her. In this line she
could use an apparent dramatic sense.
Light, humorous comedies would seem
to be her forte, rather than the heavier
realistic plays. If she Is interested in
music she might enjoy songwiting.

hides in q sheltered place near the
orchard or the woodlands. Early In the
Spring, just before the trees send forth
their buds, she goes to the orchard and
places her eggs singly on branch, twig
and stem.
When the cluster-bud stage Of the
apple is reached, the little green-fruit
worms hatch from their eggs and stroll
toward the tiny apples. They are from
stripes down each side and a narrower
one down the center of the back. When
the fruit worm is full-grown. he is q
fat, squatty little fellow, about IL
inches IN length. His head Is dark,
the jaws are strong, and his true feet
have strong little claws. The prolegs
are under his abdomen and are for
clinging purposes.
When the young apple eater decides
it is time to grow up, he crawls down
the side of the tree or drops to the
ground on silken rope. Then he
burrows down for about, inches and
weaves q silken cocoon and in it
changes into the grown moth. This is
about the last part Of June.
There are records Of these worms
doing much damage to forest trees.
Twenty acres OF corn were destroyed in
Illinois by them. They are sturdy little
fellows and are capable of digesting
large doses of poison which has been
fed to the young of the Goblin moth.
They are often found In the orchard
where the Goblin moth has made her
appearance. The spray for her off,
spring Is used after the green fruit
worm has running start on the Goblin
moth youngster.
The only way to rid your apple trees
Of these determined little eaters is to
give them o heavy spray of poison early
In the season, when they are small.
This Is at the cluster-bud stage Of the
apple; Just when the fruit buds are
beginning to separate, but before the
petals have opened.
The dose gives the youthful apple
eaters severe attack Of cramps from
which they fail to rally.

Everyday Psychology
~ DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Identification.

When one finds that one cannot in
ones own right attain social distinc-
ton. that mental process called identi-
f1cation comes along to relieve the sit
uation. There are times when 1t serves
a very useful purpose. 1t is good
thing once in a while to. assume a vir-
tue that you do not possess. It Is a
sort of recharging Of the mental bat
terieS.
But Identification has its limitations
and its dangers. It is one of the thou
sand forms of day dreaming 1t is an
attempt to make the unreal real; to
save ones face by proclaiming its re-
samblance to the face of another, usu-
ally some well known person. It is one
of the subtlest of all forms Of self-de-
ception. 1t is the psychological ladder
by means of which the social climber"
imagineS he is getting somewhere.
There are those who rehearse their
achievements so often that they confuse
facts with ideals. The mathematics Of
subtraction is practically unknown In
these photographed accounts.
An exaggerated use of Identification
leads to endless day dreaming, and, of
course, to serious decisions. The final
stage Of Identification is reached when
the identifier is totally unable to do
anything but dream.

Unc' Billy did help find food for them,
and he did help in watching out for
enemies. Two pairs Of ears, two pairs
of eyes and two noses are better than
one. So Unc' Billy, having made the
acquaintance of his family, was in this
way trying to do his part
Every evening just after the Black
Shadows came creeping out from the
Purple Hills through the Green Forest
he would meet OF Mrs. Postum and her
backload of children, and together they
would go to look for q dinner. Having
no children to carry, Unc' Billy could
move about more easily to hunt for food.
Once he found large dead fish on the
shore of a pool In the Laughing Brook
"a fish Billy Mink had caught and
taken only bite out of. That night
the Postum family had feast, and the
young PoSsumS learned that 1t Is worth
while to hunt along the banks Of the
Laughing Brook
So 1t came about almost without Unc'
Billy realizing it that he did much Of
the hunting for food while Mrs. Pos
sum looked out for the youngsters and
saw to 1t that none went astray or was
left behind. This was no small task,
for there were IL of them, each one
brimming with curiosity and wanting
to investigate everything he or she saw.
1t was enough to drive a mother dis
tracted. It didn't leave much time for
anything else. And not until the little
PoSSums were fed and could eat no
more would Mrs. Postum do any eating
herself Sometimes there wasn't much
left for her. 1t was no wonder that she
was thin.
The youngsters grew fast, and Unc'
Billy's pride in them grew equally fast.
Mrs. Possum's pride in them was already
so great that it couldn't grow.
THE smartest chillun that ever
lived" Unc' Billy would declare. "Ah
reckon they take after their NANNY"
or Mrs Postum would merely sniff
at this, but Unc' Billy noticed that her
temper would not be quite so short for
o while.
Eyes, subj" he would say, "they
cert'nly do take after their nanny.
All am right glad they do. All always
did say that she was the smartest Pos
sum that ever came to the Green For
est. All reckon that when they-all
grow up they will be just as smart"
And when Unc' Billy got a chance he
boosted about those children. Yes, sir,
he boosted. To have heard him you
would have thought that never before
in the history Of the Great World had
there ever been such smart young Pos
sums. One night he met his old friend
Jumper the Hare.
ct see you have quite family, Unc
Billy" said Jumper.
Unc' Billy fairly swelled out with

quite forgetting that it was Mrs. Pos
sum and not he who took the real care
of them. "Ah reckon any one of them
could go out in the Great World and
look out for himself this very minute"
They look rather small for that. /"
replied Jumper, mildly.
But they are growing every day. Yo'

so many months now that it
really might seem as If the prob
- lem Of lengthening skirts had
been settled for good. 1t just
doesn't seem as If there still could be
any more short skirts left, and yet
looking through your wardrobe you
may find address you'd overlooked. You
bought 1t last Winter, perhaps, when
you were not perfectly convinced that
long skirts would last It was q bit too
short to start with and now that longer
skirts are so definitely settled it looks
q whole lot too short
Well, there are many ways Of length
ening short skirts. most of which have
certain difficulties, but the dress shown
in the sketch provides suggestion that
sketched was one of the newest so
when you add the pleated ruffies you
may be sure that they will not look
like something added just for the sake
Of adding needed length. The ruffles
on the sleeves give the desirable width
Just above the elbows and the pleated
peplum accentuates the slenderness of
the waist In the approved manner.
There is always the difficulty of find
ing material to match precisely the ma
terial Of the old dress, but in this case
the difnculty is minimiZed because of
the pleating which would give the ma
terial a slightly different appearance
even II 1t were perfect match. So if
your dress is black satin you may buy
black satin that matches as nearly as
possible or you may buy black satin
faced crepe and use the pleating with
the crepe side out, knowing that there
is good precedent for this treatment.
