Everyday Psychology
Object in Dreaming.
by DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Thirty years ago DIR. Sigmund Freud
captured the imagination of the public
on this side of the Atlantic by stating
that we dreamed for the purpose of
getting the things we would like to
have but were afraid openly to try to
get. Wish fulflllment" was the word
In support of this theory of wish
fulfillment the sage of Vienna took
great pains to explain how it all hap
pened. The result was a flock of sup
posed mental mechanismS. The truth
is that no one to this day has been able
to tell the difference between some OF
the mechanisrnS he proposed.
While Freud Is undoubtedly wrong
about the wish-fulfillment idea, he did
succeed admirably in provoking a new
interest in the psychology of dreams.
Psychologists everywhere began to pay
some attention to that disregarded part
of mental life. And SO a new and Diff
ferent purpose for or object Of dream
ing was finally proposed.
1t is now urged that we dream in
order to keep from trying when awake
to fulfill our wishes. Wish-expenditure
is the word. Through dreaming you
get rid OF the impulse to do the things
that neither you nor your society will
sanction.
If you can figure out the distinction
| between wish-fulfillment and wish-ex-
penditure, you have the story In brief
of the progress of dream psychology
during the last 80 years.
When you come to think about 1t. the
second theory seems sensible. Sleep it
self is retreat from reality. So 1t fol-
lows that your Sleep-thoughts (dreams)
must Likewise represent flights from
reality

Modern Laundry
Expert Explain s
met Bag System"
Tells How Manhattan
Saves You Money BY
Saving Your Clothes

Present day laundry methods,
which preserve clothes as we'll as
clean them, are far superior to the
old home method of rubbing and
scrubbing, according to Mr.. E. +.
Wesley, chief of the Research De-
partment of Manhattan Laundry.
Mr.. Wesley attributes large part
of the Manhattan Laundry's sue
cess to their Net Bag System.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag
System of washing, as described by
Mr.. Wesley, follows: First, the
clothes are assorted according to
their color and material and placed
in individual net bags which bear
the customers name and contain
only that customers articles. Safe
in the nets and protected from all
metal or other hard surfaces, the
clothes go into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle
cleansing action of swirling hot
suds which penetrate each garment
and loosen every particle of dirt.
Only the purest of Palm Oil soaps
and soft, filtered water are used,
after first having been inspected
and tested by the Research Depart
ment. Many rinsings of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace Of dirt. This thorough care
in washing is one reason why Man.
haitian laundered clothes stay new
looking so much longer.
Customer Praises Net Bags
In a recent letter to the Man
haitian Laundry, Mrs. z. r. D..
writes:
". But the one actual fact
that pleases me most is that
the clothes do not show as
much wear as they did when l
had my laundry done at home
>. 1t is indeed q pleasure to
recommend you d. >"
This letter is typical of the many
received by Manhattan from salts
fed customers throughout the Dis
trict of Columbia and Virginia.
3-Day Collection and Delivery
Quite another Manhattan feature
which has found great favor with
Washington housewives is their g.
Day Collection and Delivery Ser
vice. 1nsthis highly developed sys-
TEN your clothes are collected one
day, laundered to your order the
next and delivered to you promptly
the afternoon of the third day. For
instance, if your clothes are col
lected Monday morning they are
delivered Wednesday, afternoon;
called for Tuesday, back home
Thursday, and so on. No delay.
No worry. And there is no addi-
tional charge for this extra service.
Services % Fit Every Need
Manhattan offers the housewife
a wide selection of economical ser
vices - from Complete Finished
Family to individual piece work.
There is a service to fit every need
and purse, and every service re-
ceives Net Bag Care-which saves
you money by saving your clothes.

End of Jazz Furniture

A ND now Queen Grace succeeds King
Jazz. who reigned over furniture
styles for the dozen years following the
war. Charming Grace! Domestic
Grace!
The trend away from the home has
been succeeded by period in which
the hearth becomes doubly important.
There is more entertaining done at
home than at any time In the past score
of years. The radio keeps folks by the
flreside. where once they found their
diversion at the movies. at the cabarets
and road houses and at similar places
Grace is present in the styles of
clothing. in motor cars, in coiffures, in
architecture and all forms of art. The
f1air for the distorted, exotic and
grotesque has been succeeded by an
epoch of gracious fornality.
So the homes of today are going in
Tor grace. The finest designs ever con-
ceived in this country. in Britain and in
france were born during the latter half
OF the eighteenth century. Today We
see the styles of the late Georgians
more popular than ever before. South
ern Colonial, Hepplewhite Sheraton,
Chippendale and Louis XVI furniture
Is in the ascendancy. In general 1t Is
light. delicate and gracious.
The furniture is usually on a much
smaller scale IMAM the old pieces. The
line and the proportion are the same,
but they are adjusted to the smaller
homes which we find so convenient to-
day. The lower ceilings and smaller
wall spaces In metropolitan apartments
are now decorated with furniture which
fits them as clothing fits the body it is
tailored for.
Backgrounds are more attractive.
Scenic wall paper Is being used more
and more. Many apartments now have
paneled walls. Door knobs are artisti-
cally designed. Clever closet space is
provided. Wall lights are more simple
and are better placed. Architectural
balance is supplied in the rooms By

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.

To many persons breakfast is the best
meal of the DAY. They wake hungry.
They eat a substantial breakfast to
fortify themselves against the heavy de-
mands of the day. Luncheon may con-
siSt of crackers and milk, and it's long
pull to dinner. So breakfast must be
satisfying.
1t isn't difficult to make breakfast a
good meal if you have it all planned out
beforehand. Mornings when you have
hot fresh mullins. prepared cereal that
does not need cooking is good. Fresh
fruit can be served raw and so takes
little time to prepare. In hot weather,
however, it should be prepared In the
morning, rather than the day before, for
it deteriorateS much more quickly If 1t
has been washed.
When you have eggs and bacon and
fruit and coffee you can omit cereal en-
tirely, If you wish. and serve mullins in
stead. This makes a really delicious
and substantial meal. You can make
mullins seasonable by adding a cupful
Of huckleberries or blackberrieS to any
muffin batter. You can add crushed
and sweetened berries to a hot omelet
just before sending it to the table.

The most popular time to have COM
pany Is for dinner. being popular with
everybody except the cook. on account
of her most popular time to have COM
pany being never. One OF the most
paneful sites to see is your mother
gradually telling the cook that you're
going to have company again.
II your company Is people you don't
know very well, the dinner is libel to
seem more like a funerel with nobody
ded yet, even II you have chicken with
jiblit gravey and ice cream, while on
the other hand If your family Is all
alone for dinner 1t often sounds more
like a picknick even II you ony have
hash and prooens.
When you have a lot of company you
haff to make the dining room table as
long as 1t will stretch, looking more ex-
citing but taking longer for everybody
to get waited on, especially you.
1t Is generally more fun being some
body eltses company for dinner than
what 1t Is having company for yours,
on account Of other peoples food always
taisting the best.
This PROVES the werld would be hap
pier II everybody had somebody eltses
blessings.
II your company sleeps at your house
YOU are libel to have to sleep on the
living room sofer so they can have your
room, seeming like fun unless 1t lasts
long enough for you to realize it's not.

Popup looked at Peekaboo. Nov is
our chance to go ont for once without
some one to tell us what to do" said
he. I'VE won't go far We can always
run back when we want to. Let's do
it,"
Peekaboo looked doubtful She was
naturally more timid than her brother
She watched Popup, who hadn't waited
for a reply From the doorstepS she
could see him greedily eating grass not
far away. She, too, was hungry She
heSitated. Then she did as she had
been taught to do; sat up and looked
this way and that way. She could see
neighbors running back and forth be-
tween houses. There wasn't hint OF
danger. She looked again toward Pop
up. He had moved a little farther into
the grass and was eating as if he hadn't
minute to waste. Father and mother
were nowhere to be seen. She slipped
down from the mound and scampered
over to join her brother In two min
utes she had forgotten everything but
that good grass.
Popup moved on to some grass that
looked more tempting than what they
had. Peekaboo moved over to join him.
She didn't like TO be left alone Don't
forget to sit up and look around" said
he mischievously. and did just that
thing. When he did this he spied some
grass that looked better a short dis
lance away and promptly headed for it.
Where are you going?' cried Peek
aboo.
Just over here little way Come
on. There is some of the sweetest grass
you ever have tasted" he replied.
Then Peekabee discovered something
that awoke her curiosity, and she went
to see what 1t was. So. little by little,
the two Scamps wandered farther and
farther from home. When at least they
thought about returning they didn't
know where home was. They were lost.
Peekaboo whimpered little, but Popup
said he didn't care, and boldly declared
that for his part he was glad of it.
Now we'll see something of the Great
World" said he. I'm not afraid
But what will we do when night
comes?" whispered Peekaboo.
oh, guess some enc will let us stay
in his house" replied Popup Perhaps
we can find a house with no one living
in it. If we can't. we can dig hole
that will do US for the night Anyway.
I think we are headed toward home
now. There's a house over there that
looks like it."
But when they reached this house it
wasn't their own at all. A gruff old
