Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

1t is said that Napoleon knew his own
mind so well that he fguratively con-
suited his mental index every time he
had to figure out what to do. Shake
speare also talked about his tables"
Almost every one will tell you that he
knows" his own mind"
The chances are that all this talk
about mental indices is nothing but O
subtle form of self-conceit, and that
isn't all. 1t may be ruinous form Of
elf-deceit.
Perhaps there is some way to con-
suit this so-called index or card cata-
logue of the mind. Suppose you aye
confronted with q bafi1ing situation:
does 1t make you nervous? If
so, you may say that you have ac-
ouired the habit of running away from
situations in all directions at once. Or
do you daydrean? Daydreams are
generally mere wishes. But wishes are
often mental flights from reality. Your
mental index in both cases gives the
word. escape.
Docs it make you stubborn? If
so, you may conclude that you have
never learned the art of yielding now
and then to the forces you will ulti-
mately have to reckon with. Or 1t may
mean that you haven't outgrown the
so-called age Of omnipotence, which Is
easily recognized In the behavior OF
most 3-year-olds. The index sign is
conceit
3-Or does it actually make you sick?
Perhaps you have discovered that some
headaches, backaches and attacks Of
indigestion pass away the very moment
your hard problems are solved. Your
mental index is feeling of inferiority
There are other kinds of mental in
dices. of course The kind you have
depends on how you have lived.

4 castle may be built Of stone. but tushl
Some folk would rather have pile OF

Peter Is quite right about that He
would have no use at all for a real
castle, but give him a pile of brush
q good big pile, and he will feel as
safe as ever an armored knight behind
the stone walls of a real castle. So as
he headed lipperty- lpperty-lip for the
big brush pile in the Green Forest. with
Yowler the Bobcat so close that the
white hairs of Peters funny little tail
almost tickled his nose. he felt sure
that under it he would be safe.
But would he be able to get under
it in time? That was the question. To
his big cousin, Jumper the Hare. watch
as II he would. It didn't look so to
Blacky the Crow or to Mrs. Blacky. It
didn't look so to Yowler the Bobcat.
Never had he felt more sure of din
ner than he did now of a Rabbit din
ner. Even II Peter did actually reach
the big brush pile first he would be
caught. So Yowler thought anyway.
You see, Peter was heading straight
for fairly big opening, and Yowler
knew that he could enter there quite
as easily as Peter. II he didn't catch

FOWLER as he bounded after Peter.
1t certainly looked very much as II
FOWLER was right. However, there was
enc thing about Peter that he had for
gotten. This was Peters habit of sud-
denly and without warning doing the
unexpected Badly frightened as he
was, and he never had been worse
frightened, Peter knew exactly what he
was about. That big opening under the
brush was very tempting. but he knew
that Yowler could enter there with
scarcely less speed than he himself. So
just as he reached it, he did the thing
that he Is famous for doing-he lodged
Yes, sir, Peter lodged to one side. He
had spied little opening. Probably you
or I wouldn't have seen 1t. But Peter
did. He didn't know how far under the
brush that opening might continue. He
would have to take a chance on that.
SO, at the very edge Of the big open

second later dived into the little open

and turn so quickly. He was halfway
in the big opening before he could stop
Then he backed out hastily and with
the ugliest of ugly snarls, sprang foI
the little opening in which Peter hac

sheathed as he felt about, hoping tc
hook them into Peter and pull him out
But Peter was beyond reach. That

In many instances, today, tablecloths
are so elaborate in their ornamentation
that it becomes a question whether or
not TO add to the decoration by initial
ing them. Napkins are not so puzzling
in this particular since they have
enough plain linen in them to letter.
Their purpose requires this, If the nap
ktns are practical. Readers request in
formation about initiating their lace and
deliberately embroidered napery. and it
is in response TO these inquiries that the
problem is considered today.
TableclothS entirely of lace are not
initiated There is no place for the let
tiers. They would mar the beauty of
the pattern. Tablecloths with small
linen centers and very wide lace borders
call be initiated or not, according TO the
owners preference. An initial can be
on a small oval, square or diamond of
the same kind of lace, and be inset in
one corner of the cloth, beneath which
the linen Is cut away. Or an initial or
monogram can be beautifully en-
broidered on the linen.
An interesting way TO mark lace or
embroidered table runner in refectory
table style is 70 have one or more let
terS or a monogram Tin lace or en-
broidery as described above) and have
them POSTPONED on the linen Just above
the border at each end Of the runner.
When marking is in one corner Of
cloth 1t is customary TO have 1t posi-
toned diagonally.
Never put a monogram or initial ex-
actly in the center of a tablecloth or
runner. A centerpiece will hide it and
eliminate the decorative value. Also
anything set on embroidered letters
with their raised stitchery will not be
firm, but wabbly. For these reasons
avoid having the initiating come where
dishes would customarily stand. On a
plain darnask cloth in which the beauty
consists In the woven design, en-
broidered monogram or initials lend
decoration and so the one-time fashion
Of having the embroidery where 1t
would fall over the side Of the table has
gone out. Position the marking where
II will come on the surface of the table.
Give due regard TO the other matters
Of positioning as explained before.
Napkins are initiated so that the let
terS come in the center Of the square
forming the outside corner fold EN-
broidered medallions are often left bare
inside for initials TO be worked therein.
Where lace or embroidery Is deep on
