Smart Street Frock in Harmony With Mode
Gay and Captivating Model Is
in Mems Necktie Foulard.
With Choice of Colors.
Plaits for Skirt and Action Back
Are Details Which Make
for Comfort.
BY BARBARA BELL.

NK ANY women pride themselves
M on dressing we'll on very
little. The successful ones
4 Il usually get only a few we'll
chosen frocks a season, one
of which is smart street frock that
is up-to-the minute in every detail.
Such a frock is the gay and cap
tivating little model sketched. The
original was made in mems necktie
foulard in all shades of blue. The
collar and cuffs were of waffle pique
fastened with chromium buttons.
If all your other frocks are con-
servative in type, this one will brace
your wardrobe up and give onlookerS
q distinct impression that you are au
courant with the mode and in tune
with fashions. In the Spring one
feels doing just that.
Fascinating as are the tie prints, the
bright, plain colors are running a
close second Many women think
they can afford to be just bit DASH
ing when it comes to a frock which
in itself is definitely Spring, 1884. In
red. bright green, old gold and live
blue, with collar and cuffs of white,
these little dresses are proving more
popular even than the conventional
shirtwaist frock. Women look well
in the blurred neckline and they find
that the plaits in the skirt and the
action back are details that make for
comfort, and comfort, this season,
is an element of chic.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. sPR0WLs.
The Joker.

According to the most approved
psychology Of Jokes, the habitual
joker is a little fellow trying to en-
large himself. If some one laughs
with him, he supposes thereby that
he has really made an impression on
the person, has taken that person into
his mental household, has made an
equal Of him.
take it that this is good psychol-
ogy, for most speakers. when address,
ing an audience, begin by telling q
JOKE. The joke is the royal road to
the minds of the listeners. These, he
naturally wants to get in tune with
himself. AS a mere device. a joke is
worth while. The public speaker may
be pardoned. He is only using good
pedagogy, as they would say in a
teachers college.
In group of 20 persons. a really
good joke has a poor chance of
getting across" Tell the same joke
to a thousand, and it's a success. Ac-
cording to one noted psychologist,
laughter is directly proportional to
the size of the group" This means
that as the group increases, the re-
sponse increases.
According to another psychologist,
"the intelligence of group decreases
with the increase of the group" Put
these two laws together, and you ar
rive at one conclusion: Jokes are
childish, even primitive A joke, then,
must represent a temporary relapse
from ones actual worth. At least,
that's one Interpretation.

nothing had he learned how to get
about in a bramble-tangle without
tearing his coat or scratching his face
or tearing his ears. And this wire
tangle was much like a tangle of
brambles.
Hooty alighted on a fence post Just
outside and glaTed down at Peter, ell
the time swapping his bill angrily.
But all he could do was glare. There
was no way he could get at Peter
and he knew it. So after while he
few away. Hardly had he gone, and
before Peter had fully recovered his
breath, who should appear but Reddy
Fox. He didn't see Peter. but as
he circled the tangle, hoping Mouse
might run out, he caught Peters
scent. Then. of course, he saw Peter.
He looked in and grinned. Peter
grinned back.
Il hate barbed wire" said Reddy.
Il love it," replied Peter.
Then both grinned again, and
Reddy went on his way. He knew
that Peter was safe there.

Uncommon Sense
BY JOHN BLAKE.
Find Out Why.

TINE child who has the intelli-
gence. when he sees a loco
motive, to ask why the wheels
l. go round, is usually on his
way to the requirement of an
| education. Curiosity may result In
! the demise of a cat that wonders
whether or not a dog will bite, but II
is the builder of education, neverthe-
| less.
| 1t is a foolish parent who continu-
ally says to his child, Don't ask sc
many questions" II the father and
mother don't know the answers-and
too often they don't-they ought to
make it their business to learn them
All animals owe their safety to such
educations as they can gain. Instinct
helps them; so does early maternal
training. But when they get out on
| their own, as they do at a very tender
age, they must be alert and observing
or their naturally brief lifetimes will
be much briefer.
X X x
It will be remembered that many
children-many millions of them-had
watched a teakettle boil without Won
| dering what would happen if they
clapped the lid on tight. James Watt.
however. as he observed the teakettle
pouring forth its cloud of steam, won
dered what would happen if the steam
couldn't escape So he clapped it on
tight, and by and by he found out.
But he was not satisfied with that.
He found out as soon as he could
something about the nature of steam,
and the result Of his inquisitiveness
you will see in the giant locomotives
that pull heavy trains across conti-
nents, and the vast ships that carry
great numbers of people and innumer-
able tons of freight up and down riv-
erS and across seas.
The Creator obviously intended that
the human race should find out many
things concerning this world, for he
gave man not only seeing eyes and
hearing ears, but thinking mind.
The scientist Is merely man who is
intelligently curious, who is eager to
find out the why" of things, and
when he has found out, puts them to
use for the good of mankind.
X x X y
Not everybody needs such an acute
eye as the scientist has, but the vast
majority of people on this earth would
do better for themselves and be of
more use to their neighbors if they
did not take so much for granted.
Look back through the past and you
will see that it is merely handful of
the inhabitants of the earth who have
done the thinking which has lifted so
many loads from so many backs. and
rid the world of slavery and oppres-
sion.
Don't be ashamed of curiosity, but
use it, not to discover how much the
neighbor's new set of furniture cost,
or how much he pays the cook, but to
learn something that may add to the
sum of human knowledge.

has few equals. With him
dodging is fine art, dodg-
ing while running at full speed. You
see, while for short distance Peter
can run fast, he cannot keep up that
speed for long. So In a straightaway
race he Is no match for some of his
enemies. So he has learned to dodge,
and to his ability to do this he has
owed his life many, many times.
So now Peter was running with all
his might, dodging as he ran, with
Hooty the Owl swooping at him and
just missing him as he lodged. Peter
was heading for corner of the corn
field where he remembered there had
been a tangle of barbed wire left
there by Farmer Brown when he had
built a new fence. How Peter did
hope that that wire was still there!
If it had been taken away he was
lost. He knew it. He hadn't been
in that corner Of the cornf1eld since
Fall and now 1t was almost Spring.
Il hope it is there! I hope it is
there!" said Peter over and over to
himself.
Over his shoulder he saw Hooty
begin a swoop. Peter lodged. He
was barely in time. One OF Hootys
big wings actually brushed him as
Hooty swooped past Once more
Peter headed for that corner. He
was getting out of breath and he
was growing tired At last he was
near enough to that corner to see
mass Of something. 1t must be the
wire. 1t gave him new hope, and
seemed to lend him new strength. He
managed an extra burst of speed.
Hooty also saw that tangle of wire
and he, too, speeded up. He swooped,
Peter lodged. Hooty checked himself
almost Instantly. turned with sur
prising quickness for so big a bird
and swooped again before Peter was
fairly turned for that wire. 1t was
close call and Peter lodged again
barely in time.
1t was now that Peters memory
served him we'll There was only one
opening under that tangle of wire big
enough for any one larger than
Danny Meadow Mouse to enter, and
that opening was barely big enough
for Peter. 1t was fortunate that he
remembered exactly where 1t was
Had he had to look for it, 1t would
have been just too bad. He wouldn't
have had a chance. That opening
was on the farther side. Swoop came

Distributional Double-Conclud-
ing Remarks,
r HAVE explained why I advise you
to pass, when playing contract,
with hands of the defensive type
Il which would Justify a double If
you were playing auction, and
even with hands considerably stronger
than those conforming to Whiteheads
minimum requirements for an auction
negative double. In contract, the
pass" in this situation has become
a defensive move-perhaps the most
important of all of them-and should
be substituted for the double until
your hand is so powerful that the
enemy is unlikely to overbid against
you, and it becomes to your ad-
vantage to enter the bidding before
hearing from your partner The un-
derlying difference between auction
and contract concerns not so much
your own holdings as the motives
actuating the bidding of your op-
ponents. In auction their aim is to
secure the declaration at as low a
level as you will permit. At contract,
1t is to bid as high as their hands
will permit if they have any hopes
Of game. BY passing, you can aid
this permitting process; you may
effect a strategic purpose by that
simple little word pass" Only when
your hand is SO strong that this
strategic purpose lapses, and you can
make your partner respond at level
no higher than your own hand justi-
fles, should you make a distributional
double.
How About Breaking Own Rules?
Probably at this point many of
you who have played with or against
me or close followers of my methods
will say: Il have seen you people
double on short-suited hands with
much less than this. Why preach
one thing and practice another?"
The Confession

happened and do happen. However,

w YHAT are the Seven Won
n ders of the World? The
wv wonders most commonly
listed are the Pyramids of
Egypt, the Hanging Gar
dens OF Babylon, the Lighthouse of
Alexandria, the Colossus of Rhodes,
| the Statue of Zeus at Olympus, the
| Tomb Of Mausolus and the Temple of
Artemis.
All those were works OF ancient
folk, and each Is Of interest, but 1t
seems to me that two other olden
wonders deserve to be placed on the
list-the Great Wall Of China and the
Buried City Of Pompeii.
People of ancient times knew that
Pompeii was destroyed by ashes from
a volcano, but they did not dream
that in later ages 1t would be freed
from the ashes and laid bare to the
eyes of men. Pompeii shows us how
people In Italy lived 10 centuries ago.
The Great Wall of China dates
back more than 1000 years and is
one of the wonders of all time. More
men must have worked in building it
than on all the pyramids of Egypt
| combined. 1t stretched out 1,500
miles, and to this day hundreds of
miles of the wall are standing. On
the average, the height is about %
feet and the width 20 feet.
Pompeii and the Chinese wall might
well rank above the Statue of Zeus
| and the Tomb of Mausolus when we
make a list of the seven wonders Of
ancient times.
II you we're making a list Of the
seven wonders of the modern world,
which would you choose? Surely you
would name the airplane, the radio
and the talking moving picture.
Other wonders which you might think
of are the telephone, the X-ray, ra-
dunn, the telescope, the Empire State
Building. the electric light and the
ocean steamship.
We also might make list Of the
Seven Wonders of Nature, choosing
from such wonders as Mount We
suvius, Victoria Falls. Niagara Falls,
Yellowstone Park, Grand Canyon,
Mammoth Cave, Mount Everest. the
ocean tides, the sun, the moon, Mars
and Saturn.
