Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
The Small Worries.

Most persons worry at times over small
things. Some do so all the time. To
the person who worries only about big
things, this small-worry habit seems
about the silliest mental occupation on
earth. But is it silly? Is it useless? Is it
insignificant? Think twice. There are
pretty likely to be good and sufficient
reasons for every mental fact.
One of the most useful of all the
mental mechanisms is that by which
the psychological being covers up his
troubles. When you worry over trif1es
you are pretty likely to be worrying over
a lot of things that are by no means
small and insignificant. You don't like
to face the big worries, SO you pick out
the least important. BY worrying over
the small ones you keep the big ones
from taking up your time and temper.
The big worries for which the small
are substituted not only deceive your
neighbors, but they often deceive you.
You may put the real reasons for worry
so far in the background that you for
get all about them. This method Of
forgetting big worries may make you
hysterical, but still you have invented
an escape.

appearing in various localities. Some
of the beetles are on the spot the
minute the blossoms come and others
wait until the small bean pods begin
to form.
The adults climb up under the leaf
and eat away the surface. cutting
through and giving the leaf lace
work appearance. Later they eat any
part of the bean plant. After 10 days
of feeding the mother lays from 40
to 60 eggs on the lower surface OF
the leaf In 10 days or more the
orange yellow eggs hatch into little
orange-colored babies, about one
twentieth of an inch long and fuzzy
looking They grow quickly and
change their coats. and when full
grown are ne-third of an inch long.
Now it fastens itself to the under sur
face of the plant on which 1t was
born and becomes shorter and changes
into another stage (pupa). When the
beetle comes from this resting time 1t
Is hght-lemon colored and does not
later appear. At the age of one week
the beetle is copper-colored and has
10 spots on his back. In warm
weather. under favorable conditions, 1t
takes 80 days from egg to adult. The
mother is two weeks old when she
marries. Some of them lay as many
as 1869 eggs in one season, but the
average is 459.
There are a few insects that feed
on the eggs and also consume the
grown beetle. The spotted ladybird is
one of them and the anchor bug
another. The spined soldier bug eats
young and old alike with great gusto.
These willing assistants are not
numerous enough to be Of real help
and so we shoot them-with o spray

Fashions Of Today
BIT MARIE SHALMAR.
Accessories.

once fashion had decided to wear
cottons she was content with no half
way measures. First there were the
organdie evening dresses, informal, pic
turesuue and youthful. We saw them,
possibly wore them, last Summer. They
gained favor at the Southern resorts
last Winter Other sheer cottons joined
the ranks-cotton lace, embroidered
batiste, point d'esprit dotted Swiss, until
now the cotton evening dress is &C
cepted even for formal occasions. Cot
tons were introduced into the daytime
wardrobe by way of blouses to wear
with jacket suits. They were crisp
and youthful and women liked them
because they were not expensive.
And so cottons had their start, until
now they appear where they please
without apologies. There are cotton
shoes, ideal for warm Summer days,
and cotton gloves that are not just poor
substitutes for kid or doeskin gloves.
They are made of channels finish fabrics
or of pique. You may buy cotton
pique scarf with cotton flower to
match. There are accessory sets con-
sisting of belt and bag of colored ging-
ham, And in some of the shops you
may buy scarfs of Bingham to wear
with your wool jersey sport suit.
The most interesting artificial flowers
are of the cotton sort, hyacinths Of
organdy, gardenias of pique. roses of
starched muslin, daisies of embroidered
batiste, violets of lawn and buttercups
of dotted swiss. Sometimes these
flowers are white, but just as often
they are of color and they are used as
buttonhole ornaments with the street
dress or suit or as shoulder or belt
bouquets with the Summer evening
dress.
Here and there one of the new cotton
evening dresses is cut with an extremely
low decolletage but usually the line at
neck and shoulders is of the more
modest sort. Capelets, kerchief collars
and fichus lend themselves to the sheer
cottons and are especially appropriate
for Summer evening dresses that must
usually be put on by daylight.
