Winter Coifures.
TINE coiffure that is partly strsight
and partly curled seems to be
winning favor with the younger

THE coiffure that Is partly strsight
and partly curled seems TO be
winning favor with the younger
i set. For older faces soft waves
about the brow are necessary.
But when the forehead Is lineless and
youthful and there are no eye wrinkles,
straight combing of the hair over
the top of the head with waves at the
sides Is fiattering. The simplicity Of the
arrangement enhances the beauty OF
eyes and eyebrows, which, of course,
must be clean and well groomed.
A new bobbed coiffure that Is being
shown in New York has very low part
on the left side. The hair is combed
perfectly smooth over the top of the
head and brushed until very glossy.
The first wave comes at about the level
of the eyes on each side. The side hair
Is cut to about an inch below the ears
and is brought forward In a wave over
the ear, with the ends curled up. The
back hair Is worn long enough to make
into a low cluster Of sculpture curls
covering the hairline at the nape Of the
neck. Little rolls may replace the
sculpture curls If longer haircut is
preferred
Another coiffure in which rolls are
used may be dressed with a center part
and a thin fringe of bangs at the sides
of the forehead This Is becoming
arrangement for a girl with high fore
head and a long face The side hair
Is divided into an upper and lower
layer. There is wide wave at the
temples, terminating in a roll at the

surroundings and are shown of to best
advantage.
1t is a pleasure to get glimpse of a
home or to be entertained in one where
the furnishings clarity fine personali-
ties. The saying that person is at
home in his surroundings is delight
fully expressive. So many persons are
in surroundings, often of their own
making, which are not in accord with
their true selves. They do not seem at
home in their environment, even though
they may be in the very rooms they
have furnished.
In reality it is not their taste which
is responsible for the decorations. They
do not make clear the interests of them
selves, but of the salesperson from
whom the articles were bought. Or
they exhibit taste eXtraneous to them
selves, but which is in the mode of the
moment. The background is incongruous
to the person or the family.
There are many homemakers who
crave furnishings different from those
which they have, either through inheri-
tance or an earlier undeveloped taste.
If the things are really bad, they can be
eliminated gradually and other pieces
substituted If they are good. they are
something to live up to. In both cases
the homemaker can. with accessories,
supply decorative backgrounds which
make clear what her tastes are and
what those of her family are also. Fine
pictures, plenty of good books. choice
embroideries in wall hangings. etc, and
good arrangement of possessions make
clear where the chief interests Of the
family lie.

permits. To be impressive one would

special reference to the geophilus in
stinct in nutrition"
have seen hundreds of squirrels and
chipmunks lope off with nut filling
their little jaws, to bury it with clever
paws and eager eyes in the slowly
hardening earth. As Autumn comes on
this instinct becomes maniacal. If
hunger doesn't drive the little fellows
to crack the nuts and eat them then
and there, they bury the gift against
snowy day. But never in my expert
ence have seen them dig up one. Per-
haps others have, or perhaps they do it
by the dark of the moon, like pirates
with their gold.
Dogs, you say, dig up their bones.
But do they? If bone belonged to the

joy-do they not indicate that it is

Lucky it is for our nut trees that not
every nut that the squirrels carry off in
triumphant hops, in these clear Au-
tumn days, is destined for the tradi-
tional storeroom at the bottom of the
squirrels Winter quarters. For those
forgotten, buried nuts must often grow
up as mighty oaks and beeches, pignuts,
hickories, walnuts, butternuts and
mocker nuts. When you see hickory
growing In a meadow, far from the
nearest forest, you may be sure it didn't
hop there of itself. nor was there any
wind that blew hard enough to carry
the heavy fruit SO far.
So the squirrels, without conscious
ness of it, aid in the growth of the for
est on which their life depends. They
help the helpless wood lot to wrest back
by stealth what we take from it with
fire and AK they repair the gaping
wounds of the plowed field, and build
again the shelter Of the hunted bird

Everyday Psychology
The Will to Live.
BY DIR. JESSE ". sPRoWIA

It Is often said nowadays that the
will to live is the most fundamental
of all the human urges. If that Is so,
we can expect trouble Of some sort If
that will to live meets with serious
opposition.
That is just what happens when the
will to live meets with opposition over
q prolonged period Of time. It seems
to express itself in all sorts Of queer
ways. We get to the place, sometimes,
where We are totally unable to control
our acts. What is more, We ere unable
to keep our minds on one thing long
enough to get anything done. The
best and proper name for this condi-
ton Is nervousness. Here We have q
useful definition: Nervousness is the
blocking Of the WIN to b. up and
doing
In these days Of economic depression
the blocking of the will to live Is taking
on serious social proportions. The
mental health of something like ten or
twelve million people in the United
States is running rather low. The will
to live and its counterpart, the thrill
of achievement, are both running on
low current.
Perhaps the "hunser mArchers," I"

disturbances might veil b called eases

BAGWORM
PSychidae

- WINGING from their silk cables,
which are anchored to the
branches of your favorite tree,
~ you pass back and forth as these
canny creatures help themselves
to the foliage, construct warm, quilted
garments and rear huge families.
The bagworms are famous dress
making family. Every one Of them is
born with the knowledge of manufac-
turing a waterproof silk and sewing.
After the garment IS made they have
thought of the future and made pro-
vision for adding to the coat as their
girth increased.
At the time of their birth they are
naked. They have hard heads and
strong jaws, tough necks and six claw
finished legs AS they creep over the
tree, sharp thorns prick them.
No time is lost and the whole naked
gang sets to work chewing tender green
leaves, turning them into liquid silk.
After this they crawl to a convenient
SPOT. bite off a bit of leaf and add
sticky silk to its edges. Then bit of
twig is nipped off, p.sced on the
gummed edge of the leaf and the
coat is begun. When material has
been sewed together to make piece as
long as the body, the seamstress takes
the eTQS together III ItI jaws, Stcduco
herself with her feet. and proceeds to
sew these edges together. The result
is a collar! Backing away from her
finished work, she guages the distance
we'll and somersaults into it.
The collar is adjusted, and from now
on more material is ADDED and the gar
ment pushed down over the body. She
is soon provided with quilted silk
lined coat within and a coat of mail
without. AS she moves about over
your tree from now on, unless you are
wise to these little rascals, you will see
small bunch of twigs apparently tied
together and moving.
When it is time for the bagworm to
cast its skin, it will enter its coat and
close up the garment against enemies,
by weaving a veil-like curtain with one
edge left free In order to push out the
four old skins! They are tidy Great
ures, as you see.
Inside this protected house the bag
worm has changed in form, and late in
August the occupant will clean out her
house thoroughly. secure it by strong
silk rope, add fresh layers of silk to
the lining. and facing the door, be

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
A Slow Growth.

r AM always very sorry for the par
ent who expects backward child
to grow out of his condition He
i is more likely to grow into it. Many
people cling to the belief that chill
dren undergo a miraculous change at
adolescence All the old habits will fall
away. All the handicaps will vanish.
The child will be reborn. I am sorry
to say that the miracle will rot happen.
Ali growth is a slow progression. To-
dav grows out of yesterday. Each days
growth makes contribution to the
next DAYS and so on to the end. There
is no sudden change. The thing that
happened so suddenly, to your eyes,
had been in preparation for wears. out
of sight. Every demonstration that
child makes was prepared long ago.
What you see as new is likely to be as
old as the child, and older. Cause and
effect are often separated by years OF
time.
The backward child suffers most by
this mistaken idea. He does not talk
as he ought. he cannot read ss ether
children can, he cannot help himself
as his brothers did at his age, he cannot
measure up to any known standard.
His mother begins to worry about this
and some kindly soul says, Don't worry.
He will grow out Of this when he Is 7,
or maybe r. or surely by IT,"
Don't accept that notion. There Is
no ground for it. When you find child
is failing in any respect search for the
cause and do all you can to remove 1t.
If it cannot be removed and the child
has to live under handicap, the earlier
you start helping him to make the best
of it the better.
A child ought to talk clearly when he
Is 4 years old. Some begin talking
about the age of months, some later,
but early or late, they should talk
clearly by the age of 4. If they do not,
begin irving to find the reason and do
all you can to remove the difficulty.
Children ought to walk before they
are three year old. If they do not, do
not wait longer before consulting an ex-
pert about it. Sometimes such chill
dren can be helped If their troubles are
known early enough. Sometimes they
cannot be helped. In any case it Is we'll
to know early what Is to be done and
do it.
Some children form bad habits early
They hive tantrums, they refuse to
eat. they want somebody to 60 to bed
with them, they demand the constant
attention Of their mothers. they refuse to
90 to school and stay without somebody
alongside them, usually their mothers
Take such bad habits in hand promptly
Consult child specialist about them, if
| you have allowed them to 60 on for
any length Of time, because then they
! are behavior traits and likely to give
| trouble unless handled wisely. But
don't expect them to change without
an effort on your part. They will not.

is the pupae one. In three weeks, the
male bagworms cut their way out of
their front doors and go about seeking
their mates. The young lady bag
worms may be seen peeping coyly out
of their doorways. They wed, but never
leave their homes until their work Is
accomplished.
The young mother makes the home
into nursery and pulls the fine hairs
from her body to make a mattress for
her children, then fills the nursery
half-full of eggs, future bagworms and
ravenous leaf eaters! After this her
duty is done. She creeps out of her
little house and drops to the ground.
Late in the Spring, when the leaves
are Just forming, the egg will hatch.
You cannot fail to see these little tWig-
decorated bags as they swing in the
wind. Try to pull them from their an
chor and see how strong the silk is.
Be sure and remove these bags and de-
stroy them if you love your trees.

7 INTERIOR decoration should not
only be characteristic of the in
dividual or the family that occupies
i the dwelling but it should clarity
personalities. 1t would seem on
first thought that it could not fail to do
these things, but the stereotyped deco
ration, found in so many homes of to-
day, robs rooms of these interesting
features The desire seems to be to
have rooms exactly the same as those
of ones friends, or to have the effect
of the furniture as seen in shop win
dows or in show rooms in stores. Such
model quarters are not supposed to
have personality but to int cate furni-
ture and furnishings of antique or pre-
vailing styles in pleasing arrangements
and to afford suggestions as to what to
buy.
It is for the persons who purchase
the articles to supply the individuality
to their decorations and to make the
rooms clarity their personalities. Let
us consider the decoration as a back
ground which helps to the understand
ing of the occupants of the house.
There are certain things which even
a stranger can recognize with clearness
on entering home. Some OF them are:
Whether the occupants are orderly or
not: whether they are fond of reading,
and what the chief taste is in books;
whether there is artistic appreciation,
and whether the individuals choose to
follow fashion regardless of its SUITABLE
ity to their real selves, or whether they
choose to have their material back
