Everyday Psychology
BY DR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.
Determines Character.

Some psychologists in their attempes
to study character formation look 70
glands of internal secretion, sucn as tlie
thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, anu az "a,
renalin. These psychologists nave Dy
no means reached valid conclusioiln, :.
The trouble with this theory Is Inat IL
places too much burden on nereolty;
Other psychologists have attackeu Cne
problem from the standpoint OF haolt-
formation. The habit theory seems 10
come nearer to a solution. 1heIe n'
however, a certain amount OF noellLlte-
ness to the habit theory. IL places Voo
much burden on environment.
Still other psychologists Work along @
the line of the instinct theory. Ihls
theory, although losing caste, seems 10
offer something. Instincts are IlnerlCeu.
At the same tire they constitute tne
basis for habit %srmation. HABITS are
always some modification OF mStlnCt.
Thee is still fourth position; Wnlcn
promises some day to complete tne PIC
ture of the complex thing calleo cnar-
acter. This newer theory runs as 1oi-
lows: Character, at least in part, Is
determined by the sort of goal or life
purposes which the individual gets INTO
the habit of being satisned WIN. inns
theory places the burden OF character
formation on early enyironmental lnf1u-
ence. chiefly parents, teachers ana as
sociates. Character then pecolnes the
product Of training in Wloe seIlSe-
not merely education.

Neck Treatment of Dresses
BY MARY MARSHALL.

cellars and it Is difficult to imagine
that high collars, IS they were worn at
the close Of the late lamented nine
teenth century, could ever come back
but necklines for daytime wear are
creeping upward a little and often
there Is drapery or folds Of material
about neckline to give 1t the effect of
greater height.
The collar shown in today's sketch
was worn on a new Spring dress with
fairly low neckline, building 1t up to
give 1t the new effect. 1t Is not at all
difficult to make.

all other points with a straight line.

he was not giving up the throne, but

have a free choice in their voting.
Soon after he left the Spaniards voted
to make their land a republic.
-Four centuries ago Spain was one OF
the leading countries of the world. She
owned colonies in the new world, and
ships loaded with silver and gold
brought her treasure year after year.
In time Spain lost her colonies, one
by one. and at present she owns little
land abroad. Those who favor the re-
public believe that they can build a
new ano better Spain.
Spain has been known as land of
romance and color, of sunshine and
soft music. We also hear Of bullhghts,
which draw great crowds, and think
that such fights are cruel. Some per-
sons say, however, that prize fights in
which men batter each other around
the ring are no less cruel

Spain, has population Of close to

NANCY PAGE
Easter Eggs Appear in
New Forms

BY FLORENCE La GANKE

On Easter Monday Nancy looked over
the contents of the refrigerator and
pantry to see what she had on hand
There was a whole bowl of Easter eggs
They had served their purpose in so far
as decoration was concerned. Now
came the question of using them.
Nancy knew that Joan and Peter
Junior would enjoy nothing better than
eating them at frequent intervals dur
ing the day. But she was not so sure
that cold, hard-cooked eggs were the
best diet for them.
She asked Joan whether she would
like to help her take off the pretty COL
ored shells in preparation for sur
prise luncheon dish. After all, it was
the handling Of the gayly colored eggs
that Joan liked most, so she raised no
objections.
And with the eggs shelled Nancy was
ready to prepare two dishes.
The first she called Oakhill potatoes
This dish called for boiled potatoes
hard-cooked eggs and white or cream
sauce
Nancy sliced a layer Of cooked po-
tatoes into casserole Then she added
a layer of sliced hard-cooked eggs
Then potatoes, eggs and, lastly pota-

Visits in Spain.
ALFONSO AND THE PEOPLE.

~ PAIN has some good rivers, but
parts Of the country suffer from
lack of water. Central Spain
. where Madrid is located, has q
rather dry climate, although a
river has cut valley through the site
Of the city.
Large, handsome bridges have been
built across the valley at Madrid, but
the river is a small one, hardly more
than a creek. Spaniards laugh and
say:
What we need is water, not bridges
We ought to sell the bridges and use
the money to buy water for the river!''
Until last year Madrid was the home
Of the Spanish King. Alfonso XIII
lived there In great palace. He had
been called King ever since he was O
little baby.
The country Alfonso ruled was back
ward. Half of the people could not
read or write. Many Spaniards were
poor, and the feeling grew that the
King. the mobiles, the generals and the
large landholders were having things
too much their own way.
Alfonso believed that he was in dan
ger and fied to France. He said that

sauce to fill the dish and set it into an
oven where it bubbled away until it was
a golden brown on top. This dish is
filling, and good.
With some Of the other shelled hard
cooked eggs Nancy prepared a dish of
deviled eggs. She cut the eggs into
halves, took out the yolks. To these
she added some finely ground well sea
soned ham, some finely chopped green
pepper, salad dressing and a few drops
of onion juice. The whites we're filled
with this mixture. She put it in with
a spoon and left it rather heaped and
irregular on top. These eggs she planned
to serve with lettuce sandwiches for re-
freshments that evening.

vides enough hair for making curls or
rolls, but not enough for large bulky
coils. There is no question that hair
of this length is more feminine and
graceful than the shingled bob, and
it is, think, deservedly popular. 1t
answers the busy modern woman's
demand for coiffures that are easy to
dress. yet that do not sacrifice beauty to
comfort.
Today I am going to describe for you
several different ways to arrange back
hair. I am disregarding the front of
the coiffures purposely for the present.
There are two problems to be con-
sidered in this connection, both equally
important. One is the forms into
which the hair is arranged and the
other is the placement of the mass of
hair, high or low on the neck. The
