Laziness.

1t seems to me that the psychology
of laziness is vastly misunderstood The
idea that some people are naturally
lazy. while others are not. represents a
rather unfair discrimination in char
acter traits.
From my observation Of living things
in general I conclude that no living
thing works more than it has to. The
only less on the sluggard can get from
the ant Is an object lesson on the
struggle for existence.
The facts seem to be as follows:
Those who find work worthwhile will
work. And while they are working and
making a success of the struggle for
existence. they naturally refer to the
man who somehow gets along without
working as lazy. All Of which means

DANCING AND GAMES.

IN ANCING was popular in Europe
during the Middle Ages, but
the dances were different from
- those of the present time.
In the round dance, men and
women would join hands and form a
circle. To the music of flute, drum or
violin, they skipped around, singing as
they moved. First one person and then
another would sing verse of a song,
and all would join in the chorus.
The torch dance was common at
weddings during the Middle Ages. The
dancers divided into couples. The men

for the most part there are the

velvet is the most popular, with

Sleeves Often Puff
Many wraps have a Victorian
look, exaggerated by matching
muffs, little capelets, and their
full sleeves. This is particularly
true of the three-quarters length

sleeves, and various collars that
accentuate the effect. We've

and scarf collar. It is priced
$16.5O. The short jacket also

} so that the Ace of trumps in
BIS hand would defeat the con-
tract.
In case B happened to hold
the Ace of diamonds the con-
tract could be defeated without
guessing who held the missing
spades. A held two trumps.
If he led his lone heart, and
if B held the Ace of trumps,
the declaration could be beaten
if B would lead back a heart
and give A ruff with his last
trump. The chances for B to
hold the Ace of trumps were
one in two. The chances that
B had no more spades were
one in three.
A played the better odds,
and led his only heart. We
must give Y credit for thinking
quickly. Without perceptible
pause he won the trick in his
own hand with the K. Then
he led the of diamonds,
towards dummy's XII, as if he
lacked the @ of trumps, and
that was just what B thought
was the case. B played low,
to afford his partner an oppor-
tunity to win with the @ Of
diamonds, even if he held it
alone. Dummy's j won the
trick, and a return lead Of
diamonds took AS last trump.
B won the trick with his Ace,
about the time he aWoke to
the fact that he had been
tricked. All that w lost were
the tricks to the two missing
Aces.
When A inquired later why
B did not think it queer that
Y should win the first heart
led with his K, instead of play
ing a lower card, Y answered
that he had to play that way.
He wanted to lead trumps
from his own hand. If he
allowed dummy to win the
trick, he would have to lead
back a club to gain entry to
his own hand. 1t would look
very queer if he won that club
trick with his Ace, and still
queerer if the @ won the trick.
1t looked less queer to win the
heart trick.

Good fashion in evening wraps
is pretty much a matter OF
sleeves this year. You'll find
them putting way up, more so
than dresses even. Or they are
long and tight, or shirred grace
fully, or long and open. There
are sleeves of odd lengths, too,
elbow or three quarter. though
for real winter weather, you'd
better have them long. Wraps
adapt themselves to many wear
ers and occasions by varying
their lengths. There are long
velvet wraps that sWathe you in
elegance, practical three-quarter
coats that are made in variety
of styles, and are most attrac-

for mild evenings, and for the

Flannel Cakes

Julia, having got rid Of the
apron, was all hospitality. Now
you sit down and have some
coffee with u.s."
You don't mean to tell me
you're making flannel cakes?"
That's what they are!"
Uncle Joel drew up a chair.
"If I'd known you could cook
flannel cakes, I'd have come,
had breakfast with you and
joe" he told Val, with a twinkle
in his eye.
Now eat them while they're
