Mistakes like that, as we'll as
those of other types. have a
meaning, however. They do
not indicate poor memory or
the beginning of mental de-
cline, but they do indicate that
the unconscious mind is at va
rance with the conscious.
Every slip of the tongue, So
cial error, sudden failure OF
memory, loss of a treasured
object, and the like, has an
unconscious purpose that mott
Yates it.
BY way of illustration let me
tell you the story of a patient
of mine who came to my office
one day exceedingly upset be-
cause she had lost a ruby ring
which her only son had given
her.
IT prize that ring more than
any of my jewelry," she de-
clared in tears. MY son gave
it to me because it is by birth
stone. 1 had always wanted a
ruby, even as a child. Now it's
gone! I'm simply heartbroken."
It developed that this lady
had worn the ring constantly
for the past ten years. She
never took it off her finger for
fear of misplacing it, even
when she washed her hands.
During further exclamations of
sorrow she kept emphasizing
that her own child had given
her the ring and that surely he
would be justified in never for
giving her.
Whenever the emotional re-
actions of an individual are ex-
aggerated, as in this caSe-and
surely the circumstances did
not warrant the frantic man
ner in which my patient be-
haved-psychology should be
called upon to ferret out a
possible, nay probable, hidden
meaning.
AS I suspected, the mother
had had a quarrel with her
son the night before she lost
the ring. It concerned the sons
wife, a person whom, the
mother reluctantly admitted,
she had never been able to ac-
cept. Nevertheless, despite his
marriage, my son and I have
always remained very close"
she added. "This is the worst
disagreement we have ever had.
feel that now I have lost him
forever!"
Which final remark. Of
course, "let the cat out of the
bag" The loss of the ring was
a symbol" psychologists say,
of the loss, figuratively speak

unconscious mind, which was
deeply affected by the quar-
rel, made her lose the ring, al
though consciously she did not

Suits Promise to
Steal the Fall
Fashion ShOW

Every week, indeed every
day, the suit situation seems
to be more important. Scout
ing through the stores, We
find that every possible de-
partment is shown suits, and
selling them too, which is
more interesting. Suits for
sports, suits for street, formal
suits for afternoon, and there's
talk of suit versions for even
ing. Brides-to-be call up and say
they're planning to be married
in a suit. It sounds like the
early 1900s, really, for it's been
many a year since suits have
been as popular.
Prices Are Low
There are several reasons
for this enthusiastic response
to suits. First is the fact that
they've been growing steadily
more popular for several years.
Then they are inexpensive this
year, priced low enough so
that we can include one in our
wardrobe without serious re-
suits to the budget or the
bills. And the two last reasons,
but by no means the least, are
that they're both practical and
smart. Particularly in a mild
climate like our own, they can
be worn most of the winter,
and make a delightful change
from the usual coat and dress.
Some Goats Fitted
Never have suits been as at
tractive and varied. 1t seems
that every known device has
been used to help them along.
Fabrics are fascinating, colors
are pretty much as you choose,
and styles borrow everything
good from both coats and
dresses. Goats are almost any
length, though some of the
newest are three-quarters, and
fitted at the waist. The seven
eightS coat is still a faVorite,
is more often swagger than
fitted, and is for all types of
suits.
Wing Shoulders
We've selected a tweed suit
for photographing today, which
illustrates many fashion points.
It has the straight swagger
coat, Seven-eights length, and
very new bretelles, or wings.
Notice how simple both the coll
lar and sleeves are, with in
terest centered in the shoulders.
The tweed is brown with red
flecks. is in misses sizes, and
is priced $3.50 The felt hat
in a new hunting shape, is
brown, and is 1888. Suede bag
and gloves, and brown sports
shoes complete the ensemble.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
TS Ho Wor%hv of This Girl?

Is He Worthy of This Girl?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
You'll probably think I'm a
cad, and I dare say you'll be
right. I got into a scrape at
home and my people made me
60 to a ranch in the West and
stay for a year. I am q years
Of age. There I met a girl who
did more for me than anyone
I'd ever met. Lots Of charac-
ter, and all sorts Of native in
telligence, although she'd never
had anything the world calls
advantages"
We became engaged, and I
induced her to give up her job
on the ranch and go back to
her home and get ready for our
marriage. When I told the
family they raised the roof,
threatened all sorts of things if
I married her. I hate to break
with this girl, but without the
family's assistance I couldn't
marry her. And I see now that
we've been separated, she is diff
ferent from my family and she
would feel out of place as my
wife. Please don't think me a
snob. DOUBTFUL.
From what you've told me,
and from reading between the
lines of your letter, / feel that
this girl will be better off in
not marrying you. Although
she will probably suffer abom-
inably when you break this to
her. Without wishing to be
critical, you haven't yet shown
the character you tell me this
girl has shown in full measure.
You've been in a scrape, were
"rusticated" by your parents
for a year. Proposed to a
credible girl who loves you,
and are now so influenced by
your family that you want to
drop her.
If she had inspired you to go
out and get a job and make
good, I should feel the girls
chances Of happiness with you
would have been better. But.
my ear boy, before you think
of marriage, brace up, make
good, stand on your own feet.
Don't put yourself in a posi-
ton where your family can
dictate to you utterly. You
tell me you're q; high time
you began to make good.

The mealy fresh lima bean,
with it's high nutrition content,
is an excellent vegetable choice
which may be served as a salad
ingredient, accompanying vege-
table or meat substitute to give
variety to warm weather fare.
To be sure, it is a real labor
of love to shell enough limas
to serve a family, but the task
is not one of physical effort so
much as time consumption. Be-
sides, in most of the modern
markets they are sold ready
shelled. The measure Of beans
which may be secured from a
given quantity of pods depends,
of course, somewhat on the
quality of the Selection-but, at
their best, one huge pound bag
of limas will produce a mere
cupful of beans, which is just
enough for two ordinary por-
tions.
In the Pod

choicest and 1t is advisable to

rather than the boxes contain
ing the shelled product. Beans,

like corn and other vegetables,
lose their fresh flavor if re-
moved from natures own pro-
tecting envelope, and the she'll
ing, therefore should be post
poned until just before they
are to be prepared.
To serve them in the
simplest way possible so that
their fresh flavor is presented
unadulterated, cover the shelled
beans with only sufficient boil
ing water to cover and simmer
until tender (about 40 minutes,
more or less, depending upon
the quantity Of beans cooked.
They should be watched from
time to time to avoid scorch-

necessary. When tender, drain,

full or two of melted butter

A Combination
Lima beans combined with
crisp salad vegetables make
these preparations a bit more
substantial. A plain bean

want to part with it. 1t is as
though the unconscious mind
had whispered: You no longer
have a son. He no longer loves
you. Then Why keep the ring
as a reminder Of your former,
hut now lost. happiness?"
With practice one can usually
interpret ones unusual modes
of action and find the cause
just as I did in the case cited.
For every slip, social error, or
whatnot has some unconscious
cause that motivates it.
And when once you get into
the habit of observing your
own reactions it is surprising
to find how many everyday
errors you really do commit.
DR.. Bisch's Daily Diet Hint
Babies, especially during the
early weeks of life, invariably
swallow air when feeding. This
remains in the stomach and
adds to the distension already
caused by the food. The re-
suit, often, is vomiting. This
can be avoided by allowing the
infant to feed in a semi-upright
position. In order to expel the
air the child should be held
upright after it has fed for a
short time.

A great many Of you have
little time, I know, to give to
exercise.
Some Of you may have jobs
and the rest are busy with
household tasks. So, of course,
outdoor exercise is out of the
question except at odd moments.
But when you have those odd
moments, try to devote them
to exercise outdoors, even if
you have to be content to take
exercises in your own home as
q rule.
Eye-Opener
Here Is a good start for eXer-
else in your home. If you want
something to wake you up in
the morning and make you feel
invigorated, take up stretching.
It's a fine eye-opener. Throw
off the bedclothes and stretch,
making yourself as long as you
can, and pushing the tips of
your toes and the ends of your
fingers to the last possible inch.
Formal exercises for keeping
the body in condition, for cor
recting certain physical defects,
or for building yourself up or
working off soft surplus flesh
are excellent if they are prop
erly supervised.
Nothing is accomplished and
even harm can be done by the
wrong exercises or the right
ones incorrectly done. The best
plan is to put yourself in the
hands of a competent physical
director and learn what to do
and how.
Here is a good one for de-
veloping the chest and neck.
Starting position: Stand with
arms raised shoulder high,
forearms bent forward from
elbows, left fist placed in palm

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Underweight

Underweight
Question: am 19 and five
feet two inches tall and weigh
100 pounds. Will you please tell
me how I can put on some
weight? B. A.
Answer: You are quite right
in wanting to put on a little
weight, especially now that the
Mae West figure threatens to
return to fashion. Eat plenty OF
fatty foods-milk, etc. and eggs,
and eat at regular intervals.
Also get the same amount OF
sleep every night, preferably
eight hours. If this normal
course fails to fatten you up, go
to a doctor and get him to give
you a tonic to build you up.
Such a tonic would also increase
your appetite.
You notice that I didn't pub
lish your last question. Don't
do anything to change that con-
dition. If you put on a little
weight, you probably won't need
to worry.
