Americans or adapted by Ameri-
can artists from French models.

be made of American fabrics.

Everyday Psychology

Your Vocabulary.

WHEN 1t comes to talking about
your vocabulary, 1t should be
pointed out that you have three: !:
a writing, speaking. and a read
ing vocabulary, to name them in the
order Of their probable sizes from the
smallest to the largest. These dis
tinctions are not, however, ordinarily
made in the literature on the sub
ject. So we shall not insist upon
them here.
In recent years. psychologists have
been trying to find out just how
many words a person should have in
his vocabulary. Apparently taking
their inspiration from Shakespeare,
who it seems had writing vocabu-
larry of 1900 words. these psycholo-
gists have devised certain tests for
determination of ones normal ac-
quaintance in the world of words.
