Everyday Psychology
BY DR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Halo of Personality.

If there is anything you should be
able to do well, it is to estimate per-
sonality. The chances are, however,
that you know next to nothing about
personality rating. At all events. those
who have spent time on this subject
seem to know less and less about it.
Personality traits run into the thou
sands. Six or seven thousand traits
have been listed. Out of all these you
usually make your judgment on the
basis OF two or three which for the time
seem to catch your attention. In other
words, you have a fanciful halo which
you try out on every subject. You de-
termine how your subject fits the halo.
To put 1t in other words, your meas
uring stick is pretty likely to have only
few notches on it. The usual notches
are intelligence, good looks, friendliness,
achievement, liberality. Individual ap-
praisers differ widely in what they con-
slider the proper quantity and quality
OF these traits. For instance, If you as
an appraiser happen to be q spend
thrift, you are pretty likely to under
estimate conservative Spender and to
overestinate the general personality OF
a reckless spender. But these five traits
are the concentric rings in the halo
that We all use III rating personality.
And aside from your own rating, it is
surprising what little hearsay viii do

standard halo.

The mud turtles coloration is of great
aid in concealing his presence. His
upper shell is a dull olive brown. the
shields have narrow black margins and
the lower shell or plastron is pale
yellowish brown. With the exception
of the olive or brown jaws, his head is
usually brown. decorated with many

run together and form stripes; this is

~ OTAN1sTs rate the butterfly
weed as a sort of milkweed, and
n they are right. But it has no
IL milk, and unlike most Of the
milkweeds. its flowers are bril-
liant orange When you examine it
closely. in the elaborate structure OF It's
flowers. you see that, indeed. it Is not
different from all the other milkweedS,
except in one more superficial respect
that it blooms in the last warm days
of Spring, instead Of in high Summer,
like its kindred.
Gaudy it certainly is. 1t has not a
trace of that sweet and open-eyed In
nocence of early spring flowers; its COM
plexity, its allure, its tropical charm are
written upon it. But it blooms bravely
on the sterile red clays of the drearier
parts Of the surrounding country, and
when it blooms with wild purple phlox,
it lights the landscape up with bar
barrie clash of orange and purple that
would be intolerable in a garden, and
even in the wild can only be said just
to succeed in boldneSS.
The real charm of butterfly weed is
that it lives up to its name; not a
flower of it without its butterfly some
times the whole head of flowers on a
branch is completely covered with but
terflies, others hovering close. awaiting
their turn at the sweet hectares, SO
intricately. so cleverly contrived.
The mechanism of pollen transfer In
the flower is as delicate and ingenious
as in the most elaborate tropical or
chids. Indeed, an English botanist,
whom it was my duty to show around.
asked first of all to see butterfly weed.
1t was one Of those strange American
flowers" he had heard about all his
life and was eager to see. 1t was easy
to crafty him! We caught a few OF
the butterflies. mostly pearl-crescents,
out of curiosity. But the real butterfly
fancier would not have stopped there.
Indeed, all forms Of milkweed rank sec
ond only to thistles as collecting
grounds for butterflies
You may have heard that poem OF
Robert Frost's, where he describes how
he walked across a cloSe-mown field
to rake the cut wild grass together, and
saw butterfly go straight to one tuft
of flowers left blooming:
"a leaping tongue of bloom the scythe
had spared,
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had
barred.
I left my place to know them by their
name,
Finding them butterfly weed when
came.
The mower in the dew had loved them
thus
BY leaving them to flourish, not for us,
Nor even to draw one thought of ours
to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at
the brim"
For true nature lovers there has never
been an American nature poet like
Frost. The late honored Van Dyke was
sincere enough. but sentimentalist at
heart. Frost, in poems like THE Tuft
of Flowers" (you must read all Of 1t,
and it's too long to quote here), could
find sermon in butterfly weed without
preaching!
