gives natural relief. You can feel how its
warming action penetrates and stimu-
lates blood circulation. But do not stop
with one application. Apply this sooth-

smart as you would know better than to
take the trouble to cut ali those cones
before they are ripe when all you would
have to do would be to wait until they
were ripe and opened of their own Ac-
cord and let the seeds fall out. Then all
you would have to do after that would
be to gather the seeds from the groHnd.
You certainly must like TO work."

sharply. Us that so, Mr.. Smarty? Let
me give you bit of advice. Never make
a statement until you know you know
it is true. I don't mind working. I'm
not lazy like soma people know. But
don't waste my time working fooliShly.
Don't forget that. Each of those seeds
has two little wings. When cAle drops

For heavy linen or pique you may use
thread as coarse as No. SO.
Use q needle with an eye just coarse
enough TO take the thread without diffi-
Guilty and use fairly short needle. BE
sure that the point is very sharp. other
wise you will have trouble making q
fine buttonhole.
If the buttonhole is cut parallel with
the edge OF the material, as it usually
is on blouSes and elsewhere where there
Is no great strain on the material, the
ends of the buttonholes are made pre-
cisely alike. If the buttonhole runs
the other way, with the strain of the
button coming all at one end. then this
end needs special attention. Start in
the middle of one side of the slit and
take even buttonhole stitches to one
end. II the ends are to be alike, merely
continue buttonholiflg, allowing slightly
more space between the points of inser-
ton of the needle until you have passed
around the corner. Then buttonhole
the other side and make the second
end in the same way as the first. Then
continue until you reach the place where
the buttonhole was begun. To fintsh
of run the thread under the button
hole stitches on the wrong side for q
little way, take one or two small over
and-over stitches and cut the thread.
In making the buttonhole that runs
in the opposite direction from the edge
OF the material, the end nearest the
edge should be rounded in the way Just
described, care being taken to make it
very firm and tough Aklsthe opposite
end the stitches should end sQuarely ct
the end of the slit.

Household Methods
nv BETsy cALLisTER.
Effect of Noise,

Psychologists have been telling lis a
good deal lately about the baneful effect
Oh noise on our nerves, and after YOU
nave spent several hours of the day
amidst the traffic noises Of q big city
you can tell for yourself without the
expert opinion OF a psychologist that
your nerves really need q little soothing
silence and perhaps most of US now
adayS do not get so much of the silence
that Is golden as we ought to have.
Actually our houses and apartments
could be made much more quiet than
they usually are, and enc of the best
means to this end is use of carpets, rugs
and drapery. Modern housewives of
course do not like carpets that are
tackled down TO the floor and they like
small scatter-sized rugs that can be
taken up easily TO be cleaned. More
over, In bedrooms bare floors with a few
light rugs are. considered more hygienic
And yet II you want really quiet rooms
you should have the bare floors fairly
welf covered.
Carpets not only absorb the noise OF
treading feet. They also absorb a great
deal of the noise that comes in through
the windows and even the walls OF our
houses window drapery also has the
effect of absorbing noise and one of
those old-fashioned bedrooms with car
pet all over the floor and rather heavy
drspery at the windows really was a
great deal quieter than the modern sort
OF bedroom, even If 1t was a trial TO
keep clean.
OF course you do not want to have
your entire house laid with heavy car
pets and hung with thick draperies, but
II you are especially anxious to have q
bedroom or study where no noise in
trades you will flnd this method the
best you can follow.

Everyday Psychology
Reading. Personalities.
By DR.. JESSE ". sPRoWLs.

Every personality is just another
chapter in the book of human nature.
You can never tell when a new chap
ter may be written. or when an old
chapter may be revised. And you
always have to read between the lines.
Perhaps the best way to. read people
is to study their personalities with the
aid of the reading glass of hardship
and bafflement. Worries of all kinds,
annoyances of every kind, physical ILL
neSseS and the like are the things that
bring out those fine points of per-
sonality known as temperament and
character
pressure. In everyday life you say
they fly off the handle" These peo-
pie are the hardest of all to read, for
the reason that you never know Just
what to expect. You can't read much
between the lines. Sometimes they act
like saints, sometimes like demons.
Call them queer" and you have a
name for certain type of personality.
/ Then there are those who. under
| get stubborn. As a rule, they have
learned from experience that it doeSn't
pay to stir up trouble. You may ex-
pect a pretty hard fight when they
finally have to get rid of their trou-
bles. You never know when they are
defeated, because you never know when
they are angry. Call them the silent"
type and you have another name.
! Finally. you have those who will
alternately be light-hearted and down
hearted when they face difficulties.
They get moody. They are easy to
recognize, but fairly hard to read.
That's because you are trying to read
! two chapters at once Call them dual
personalities and you have another
name.
| So much for beginning. There are
many others, as you will discover in
your study of personality.
