Early Spring Sports Materials
BIZ MARY MARSHALL.

chamois hst, a ckamois scarf and
chsmcis gloves.
Then there ERE two-piece SPORTS
dresses made of angoro. very light and
soft of texture, aad cs proof against
wrinkling as any material coald be.
Dresses OF this sort may be had IN
darker co'ors. but are most attractive In
the new soft beige, or in bright red
green or royal blue.
One of these soft warm dresses or
suits is a very good investment at this
time of year There will be cold, windy
days this Spring when It win be just
the thing to wear under your Winter
coat. On rainy Spring days it will give
just enough warmth beneath raincoat,
and if you are planning an ocean trip
for the coming Summer or intend to
spend some of your vacation in the
mountains you will find a warm suit or
dress OF this sort decidedly worth while.
A dress of this soft lightweight ma
terial carries with it an air OF infor-
mality that is part of its charm, but even
an informal Grsss this see son must be
carefully fitted if it is to have the up
to-date appearance you desire.

Everyday Psychology
By DR.. JESSE ". sPRoWLs.
Ecstasy.

People sometimes become ecstatic-
that is, they become absorbed in ideals
that are projected into the ultimate
ends of the future.
Ecstasy is a mental condition during
which the individual s.rnds out of space
and time. A world of fancy obscures
his world of reality.
You may get into state OF ecstasy
by merely pronouncing some common
word again and again. After while It
loses meaning, because its very pro-
nunciation distracts attention from its
concrete application. You are then in
a world of fancy. The mental state is
akin to intoXication.
The whirling dervishes become ecstatic
by merely gyrating around on their
heels Any monotonous occupation will
bring 1t on. The wonder of Niagara is
its power to induce hastily the feeling
Of having identified one's-self with a
power beyond ones comprehension.
The games of chance have something
attractive about them. They breed
ecstatic feelings. A little knowledge Of
mathematics might easily reduce the
ecstatic feelings to the commonplace.
The ecstasy of chance follows the course
of wishes. It's hard for an amateur
gambler to realize that he has lost. The
seasoned gambler knows his mathe-
mates.

The market went ahead yesterday

A bear point on wheat is that
