Everyday Psychology

Sculptors, painters, composers and
writer's work by spurts. The ordinary
man u totally unable to understand
why the artist works as he does.
The secret Of the artistic tempera-
ment is to be found in what Is known
as the subconscious mind. Everybody
possesses this unconscious mind which
Is responsible for works Of art. The
real difference between the artist and
the non-artist is this: The artist is
able now and then to control the
mechanism Of the unconscious mind.
And 70 the artist works by spurts. Non.
artistic pefsonS are totally unable to
control this mechanism and therefore
totally unable to produce artistic crea-
tions
Perhaps the most practical way to
gain . glimpse of your unconscious
mind u to study your dreams. You
usually dream about your personal
problems problems you are unable
to solve while you are awake. Now
and then, after worrying about some
problem, you fall to sleep and dream
about it-sometimes, but not often, you
awaken with solution; what amounts
to an inspiration "dawns" upon you.
The unconscious urges have become
crystallized into ideas which you are
Immediately able to use.
In the case Of the artist, unconscious
mental work Of this sort Is going on
most Of the time, but he can't always
control It.

They are not strong enough to be called

is no reason why pronounced colors

prefers, there is a beauty of textile in
the delicate shades the artists have
chosen for the development of this
unique embroidery.
The medium in which the motifs are
crocheted Is wool. Two-play is advised
but Shetland and Iceland woods are
appropriate. In each instance the wool

rather sturdy. It is the combination Of

Queen Of Heaven.

"HE queen Of heaven on all
Summer nights is the great
amethystine star Vega, the
i brightest star In the sky ex-
cept Sirius (and. of course. the
planets). Sirius rules the Winter
nights. Vega the Summer. and to find
Vega you have only, in early July, to
60 out about in the evening and look
to the east. Vega is half way between
the zenith and the horizon on a line
running across the heavens due east
and west. It outshines everything in
the sky except Jupiter. which Is now
seen very high in the west.
The constellation to which Vega be-
longs Is Lyra, but it Is not a very con-
vincing Tyre; indeed. few Of the con-
stellations do correspond In appearance
to their names. They were named IN
bears. scorpions and the like were crude
and childish.
It seems odd to read in English books
that Vega can be seen above the hori-
zon at all seasons: but the fact Of the
matter Is that this statement holds
true only for places north Of latitude
5l-which passes through London In
Europe, but north Of Newfoundland on
this continent.
Vega. Is really twice Is brilliant as
Sirius, but it Is three times as far
away (26 light years.. which explains
why 1t u not 20 glorious to our eyes.
Its luminosity is so times as great as
that Of our sun. All these are casual
mathematical facts; the beauty Of Vega,
its limpid, serene, high-riding lowell
ness, cannot be expressed in such
cold formulated fashion-and anyway.
these are not really attributes of the
sun called Vega. but werery Of our at
mosphere, which beauties all that
comes to it-star-shine, sunset and
rainbow.
Out in the depths Of space, beyond
our atmosphere, all Is harsh and terri
flying. The beams from the sun stab
through the cosnlic darkness like q ter
rible, binding searchlight; the other
stars do the same. only more dis
tinctly, like trains rushing along
OF these, Vega would now be the most
piercing and painful
Most exciting of all Is the thought
that we|that is, the sun and the little
planets 1t whirls around its head-are
Vega. Not that Vega will be theye when
We get there; 1t will have rushed OF
on tts own predestined course. And
before We arrive at that spot In the
SKY we may have passed nearer to
various other celestial bodies. There is
strong evidence that collisions, or at
least dangerously close proximities,
happen. even though, as Jeans has put
1t, II there were only two bees In
Europe. that region would still be fuller
OF bees than the sky Of stars.

such foolish things. He says there is
no danger, but know better. Hasn't
he come home time and again ready
to drop he has run so hard, or with
his coat torn by sharp claws? And
then he tells me not to worry!'
Unseen, Peter had come into the dear
Old Briar Patch Just in time to over
hear this and, being honest with him
self, he had to admit that it was true.
So for the sake Of little Mrs. Peter he
had remained at home for some time
But he was growing more and more
uneasy. You see he had nothing to
do but eat and sleep. There was no
longer need Of cutting more paths
through the brambles Of the Old
Briar Patch. Mrs. Peter had babies to
look after. OF course, Peter might have

The Merry Little Breezes, the chill

along that way, overheard Peter COM
planning. They danced away across
the Green Meadows to Farmer Brown s
garden and there they played about
for long time. On their way back
they stopped again in the dear Old
Briar Patch.
How do you like thk?" cried one
Merry Little Breeze, and tickled Peters
nose with the odor Of young cabbages
growing.
Peter shifted and shifted, but he said
nothing. Another Merry Little Breene
osnced up and Nckied that wAhbly lit
tie nose Of his with the smell Of tendar
lettuce leaves. Isn't that better?"
cried the Merry Little Breeze.
A third stole up behind Peter and
ne smelled carrots. They are grow
ing over in Farmer Browns garden, +"
whispered this Merry Little Breeze.
Peter shook his head and tried not
to snih. but In spite Of him his wabbly
little nose would wabble and, with
every wabble, he smelled carrots. His
mouth began to water. He tried not to
let it, but he Just couldn't help it. And
inside a great longing grew and grew.
fourth little Breeze brought the
smell Of growing beans and q fifth
teased him with the strong odor of
turnips. Peter began to fidget. Yes,
sir. he began to fldget. He couldn't
sit still. He crept to the edge Of the
Old Briar Patch and looked across the
Green Meadows to Farmer Browns
garden.
II won't CO." said Peter to himself,
but down deep inside he knew that in
all probability he would go. II won't

would like to-" he added with sigh.
And just at that very instant all the
Merry Little Breezes danced around
him and tickled his nose with all the
odors from that garden. Then away
they danced and left Peter with his
long heels fairly itching to 60 over to
that garden. The more he tried not to
think about 1t the more he did think
about 1t. And the more he thought
about it the more his mouth watered
and his nose twitched and his heels
itched. The Merry Little Breezes had
teased him with those delicious odors
and now he could think Of nothing
else.

1t is important to realize the style
of stitchery, as in all the unusual kinds
of needlecraft it is the style of stitchery
plus the unusual combination of mate
rials which stresses the distinctiveness
Of the work.
The simplest motifs are merely circles
of mixed colorS Of wool yarn. Make q
tiny circle of chain stitch by slip
stitching a final chain stitch through
the first stitch. Make a chain Of three,
throw the yarn over the crochet needle
twice, put needle through hole in circle,
catch yarn, draw through two strands,
catch yarn again, draw through two
more, catch yarn and draw through
last two strands. Repeat each stitch
of the triple crochet (omitting the chain
crochet stitches is made Slip stitch
final stitch through last of the chain
stitches at beginning of circle. This
completes one motif, unless the worker
wishes to make a round of slip stitches
or single crochet about the edge of the
| circle
These circles are made Of one color
or of several different colors to give q
rainbow effect. Each circle Is sewed
around its edge to the hemmed scarf.
A space equal to the diameter Of the
circle is left between circles which form,
thus the interrupted border.
Readers who would like directions for
/ making squares and flower and leaf
motifs can obtain directions for them
