Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.

7 F the letters of these words were
observed separately it would in
some cases be difficult to recognize
L them. The It's" in particular, are
very indistinctly made. suggesting
a person who cares little for the per-
lection of detail. Seemingly she is the
type who likes and enjoys nice things,
but finds it irksome to arrange for
these niceties. She, perhaps, has a
tendency to daydream, planning in
her mind things of great desirability.
In real life, however, she may become
discouraged because these desires are
so hard to fulfill.
1t is unfortunate II she Is satisfied
with the imperfect or second best. for
she should have the ability to accom-
plish really noteworthy things. 1t may
be that her will power needs strength
ening. to aid her in overcoming the
obstacle of quick encouragement.
The manner in which the word
best is divided is interesting Note
that the division is at the end Of the
word with the final letter distinctly
apart. We may, from this, judge her
to be a detached type OF individual
She probably enjoys standing aside and
watching others. Life itself would be
intensely interesting to her. not only
as a participant, but as an observer
amused tolerance of the people around
her. Realizing the frailities of human
nature, it would be easy for her TO
forgive the shortcomings of others.
1t would possibly be hard to excite
her to anger. She seems eventem-
pered and calm. Apparently she Is
friendly, but not overdemonstrative
We should expect her to have many
friends but few intimates. This trait
should make her valuable in position
where meeting numbers of people might
be necessary. 1t would be easy for her
to be friendly with all, but partial to
none.

Everyday Psychology
Family Fame.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Famous fathers are more apt to have
their fame perpetuated through their
daughters than through their sons. If
a man Is famous it is taken for granted
mat his son Is a chip off the old
DOCK that as matter of course the
son VIII achieve fame. Such expecta-
lions on the part of society place a
heaVy burden upon the SON.
He grows up with his ambitions ready
made. There Is good reason to sup
pose that many a son would stand a
better chance of becoming famous If
this fictitious father-goal were not con-
confronting him. At any rate.
the rule as expressed by one careful
student OF the question is this: THE
danger that children of important par
ents will make failure of their lives
Is greater than in the case of ordinary
children"
In the case Of daughters nothing out
OF the ordinary is expected, regardless
OF the fact that they may have famous
fathers. Therefore, whatever the daugh-
tiers may accomplish goes for more than
its face value.
The unfortunate sons of famous
IatnerS try, OF course, to live up to the
family tradition. Anything short of a
striking success is appraised as less
than what it really is. Ordinary
achievement is termed failure Renu.
tation, like prosperity, is a burden to
the average person.
One may extend this rule to include
immigrants, who, having no particular
reputation to support, go to work in
their own right and make a success of
things. -

BY Wilma La Vile.

Have you ever noticed how
events of nationwide import
ance often influence fashion?
We never have a war or other
happening of public interest
that doesn't produce a new
color, print. or silhouette.
Paisley Designs Popular
AS you know, India has been
much in the public eye during
the past year. The result is.
that the French designers started
printing silks in Paisley designs.
From France we brought our
own Paisley silks, and the world
of fashion has accepted them
enthusiastically. Their intricate
designs and attractive coloringS
make them very wearable and
individual. Paisley prints are
good in evening clothes or for
daytime dresses. They are also
excellent for blouses and jackets.
You have probably seen them
wound about a dark color tur-
ban or making the whole of a
turban, or perhaps best Of all,
they are used for scarfs where
they supply just the right notes
of color under a dark coat.
Then, too, they make lovely
jackets with lounging pajamas.
For Daytime Wear
The Paisley frock we have
had sketched today is the at
tractivs jacket type that is now
so popular for daytime wear.

Practical cures for depression and

what steps the industry itself may
take to improve conditions by means

recommendations in regard to financing

must be provided eventually If the

by rail carriers to overcome many of
the expenses which had TO be met

true in the less than-carload rail move

the public If all rail executives would

ASK ME WHY
BY EvERIT b. TERHUNE.

How can advertising and sales pro-
motion help at the present time?
BY focusing the public's attention on
merchandise that can be made and
sold at profit, and give better value
at fair price
But isn't 1t logical that after period
of extremely high prices we should
have a period Of low prices?
AS material and production costs are
lowered prices follow naturally-but not
necessarily TO the many profitless prices
being advertised at present.
What will the customers reaction be
20 better goods and higher prices?
1t is reported that buyers generally
are changing their attitude from How
little need / spend for this article?" to
How good an article can buy for this
amount Of money!" Merchants who
cater to this new demand will improve
their profits.
