Everyday Psychology
Law of Recapitulation,
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

All creatures potentially relive not
only the history Of the species to which
they belong, but also the history Of all
previous contributory species. Every
cell, sinew, and tissue infolds, although
1t does not always express, the mani
fold mysteries of life.
This is the law of recapitulation, and
1t should be regarded as an influence,
rather than as a demonstrable fact. As
an influence, it finds expression in the
psyche physical makeup Of each indi-
vtdual in two ways.
First, it stabilizes the individual in
his development, thus promoting the
utilization Of established useful mecha-
nisns. Sudden changes are disconcert-
ing, sometimes fatal. Everything In ma
ture is momentous. because it is a
manifestation Of that force which ac-
counts for the permanent possibility Of
matter and life
Secondly, it functions as a license or
franchise for experiment Variability
is always replacing stability. The indi-
vidual is permitted within limits to try
out different ways for getting on with
his problems. New and useful charac-
teristics appear, and finally lead to
correspondingly settled ways of exist
ing. In consequence, there are few II
any absolutely hfeless regions on our
planet.
The only drawback to this evolution
ary process Is that 1t burdens every
creature with a cargo of outgrown and
useless parts, which are passed on from
one generation to the next with sur
prisingly little modification. These are
called vestigee. Examples are wisdom
teeth and the appendix.

Chatterer Is Too Greedy.
This truth experience doth teach:
The greedy always overreach.
old MOTHER NATURE.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had not
made a sound since he reached the big
maple trees around the little sugar house
In which Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy would soon be boiling down
sap from the maple trees into sirup and
sugar. He hadn't made sound because
he didn't want it known that he was
anywhere about. So he remained hidden
and watched Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy tap the trees and hang the
pals to catch the sap. jolly. round,
bright Mr.. Sun climbed higher in the
blue, blue sky and the sap would soon
be running. Already It was beginning
to drip in some of the pals first set.
AS the day grew warmer it would drip
faster.
Just as he expected, Chatterer had
plenty Of opportunity to enter that lit
tie house, and just as he hoped there
were many things to be examined by
his prying little eyes and tested by his
sharp little teeth. In such hurry to
get to work on the trees had been
Farmer Browns Boy that he had not
stopped to stow things away where in
So Chatterer had plenty Of chance to
sample things.
Chatterer was kept busy for long
time. 1t wasn't until he heard the
warning sound Of approaching foot
steps that he left that little house and
then he did 1t in hurry. He didn't
leave by way of the open 6oor. Going
that way he would be seen and he
didn't want to be seen. 1t wasn't that
he had any guilty feeling of wrong
doing He didn't have. 1t was because
he knew that II he wasn't seen Farmer
Brown, for 1t was he who was coming,
might not know who had been meddling
with things. So he whisked through q
knothole in board just under the edge
of the roof and by the time Farmer
Brown discovered the mischief he had
been in was scampering away through
the treetops.
Once safely away from the sugar
house, Chatterer remembered that he
had not yet had a taste Of sap that
morning Not far away was a great
tree on which no less than four pals
were hanging. It was the very first
tree Farmer Browns Boy had tapped.

Design for Handkerchief Corner
By MARY MARSHALL.

months ago that fashion would swing
back to the rather small, pure white
handkerchief but now it is perfectly
obvious that the square Of a more
stirring sort will remain in favor. You
may II you like carry fairly small
handkerchief, but the really up-to-date
handkerchief Is rather large. Sports
handkerchiefs are colorful and sub
stantial, and for afternoon and eve
ming there are sheer lace-trimmed or
chiffon handkerchiefs of generous size.
The sketch shows a design for a
handkerchief corner that may be
copied in actual size. 1t Is made Of
one. two or three colors Of linen. The
edges are hemmed down very finely
with thread Of the color Of the linen,
unless you can use white thread so
that it doesn't show. The embroidery
through the center Of the flower" Is
done with green or some other con-
trasting color.
The double petal might be done in
deep rose, the long, center petal In soft
pastel blue, and the two small side
panels in pink. Or the double big
petal might be done In dark brown,
and the other petals in orange and
lemon. Or black, gray and green
might be used.

hang on with my hind feet and let my
self down until my nose touches it."
No sooner thought of tlian he must
try it. He spread his hind legs as
squirrel can and with his feet gripped
the edge of the pail. Then slowly and
carefully he let himself down head first
until at last with his hands spread wide
on either side to brace him his nose
touched the sap. Then Chatterer for
got everything else. He Tapped up that
sap as fast as his tongue could go. He
Tapped up great deal more than he
needed or really wanted. That was be-
cause he was greedy. Greedy people
are just like that. Almost always they
take more than they need and more
than they really want just because they
can. So Chatterer Tapped and Tapped
and forgot everything else. He even
forgot that he was where he had no
business to be. And all the time he
was fixing to get into trouble, and greed
was the cause Of 1t.

the unusual formation Of the Ifs" is
another indication that the writer Is
interested in technical subjects. Other
clues. not shown in the illustration,
would lead us to conclude he was a
doctor. or at least intensely interested
in biology.
1t Is quite probable he is not of a
romantic or emotional temperament. AS
lover or husband he would seemingly
not make a great show of affection.
Perhaps 1t would be very difficult for
him to speak or write his feelings, there
by often creating the impression that
he was lacking in sentiment Possibly
he believes 1t effeminate to express
his emotions. thinking perchance that
phrases Of endearment must be used
only by women. In his own way, how
ever, he is capable Of deep, lasting af-
fection.
Apparently he is not interested in
making many social contacts. A few init
mate friends may fully suffice for COM
panionship. Seemingly Of a reserved
nature, he might have difficulty in un-
bending enough to meet many people
on a friendly basis. To his few init
mates he probably shows very charm
ing and hkable personality. Needless to
say, 1t would, perhaps, help his progress
in life were he to make an effort to
expand the circle of his friendships.
Although there appears to be an over
whelming amount Of the practical in
his makeup. he seems somewhat to
lack the power of making decisions
quickly. Quite often he may put off
doing things Of importance, because he
cannot decide on what course of action
to take BY correcting this fault he
would add much to his ability.

CLING TO THE TREE CLOSE TO
ONE OF THE LITTLE SPOUTS
AND TAKE THE SAP FROM THAT.
In fact, the tree had been tapped the
day before when the camp had been
opened and the first pals set. So the
sap had been running in these pals
longer than in any others. 1t was to
this tree that Chatterer went.
AT first he was content to cling to
the tree close to one of the little spouts
and take the sap from that. But he
could get but drop at a time and
presently he became greedy. He could
look down into the pail Just beneath
that little spout and that pail was more
than third filled with sap Chatterer
eyed it greedily. 1t would be SO much
easier to lap it up as fast as he could
swallow it than to get it a drop at a
time.
He crept down the tree to the edge
OF the pail and judged the distance to
that tantalizing sap.

 The clattering tickers fell two minutes behind while A. T. and T., rising one and three-eights to 84K led heavy trading in other shares.
 Spurred by the stearily rising market of the last few days and en- couraged by renewed strength in commodities, almost 800 brokers were on the floor when the great bell of the exchange changed It's three sharp strokes at 10 a. rn., and the market opened.
 Here in the great hall, almost six stories high and city block wide, 2500 persons thronged the floor in noisy confusion, the brokers clus. tered about the horseshoe trading posts, the 400 pages weaving their way through the thrpng, 100 ticker operators and 1900 telephone clerks adding to the uproAr and confu- sion.

 But finally, Morris had his day in court. He also had a lawyer, a book entitled The Blockade of Phalsburg," a pair of very large shoes, and short length of gold watch chain. The courtroom star ed and chuckled.
 Morris told concise and accu- rate story. John Wendell, he said, had married Mary Elyen Devine. a Scotswoman. in New York city on June II, 1878. He claimed he was a child of that marriage, born in Scotland. where he lived with foster parents named Morris until he was 14.
 "Papa!''
 During his boyhood, John Wen del often visited him and insisted on being addressed as Papa" Soon after his twenty-first birth day, Morris continued, Papa" Wendell came to him in Dundee, gave him a watch and chain and a mentioned book. "Read it care- package containing the above fully when you get home" he quoted the older man. Because everything in 1t Is true.v
 Inside the front cover, and on the flyleaf, Morris found letter from Wendell describing the cir cumstances of his marriage and recognizing his parentage of the boy. On the back fiyleaf was 3 will, signed and witnessed, making Morris his sole heir.
 In 1906, Morris said he came to New York, frequently met MT Wendell, and once went to the Wen del home Ito see my aunts." A quarrel ensued and he quoted Miss Ella as saying: "Get out and take your brat with you"
 Hoax? Or Truth?
 Discouraged and ashamed, Mor- ris said he drifted about the coun- try, saw MT Wendell only once more before the latter's death, and finally became a house painter by trade. But he still kept the book containing the letter and will, a pair of thick gum-soled shoes like those worn by Wendell. and the watch chain. All these were pre- scented in court, together with ar amazingly detailed account of tho old millionaire's personality, habits and travels.
 The judge described the whole thing as either a monstrous hoax or amazingly true" As for the other claimants, those who used tt laugh at Thomas Morris-they'r completely speeches..
