Spring
This is an age old topic, but the
beauty and vividness of spring can
not be expressed by words. Spring
is best known for its mild climate,
and outdoor sports, and the grow
th of the green plants and flowers.
Spring also causes one of the most
common diseases spring fever.
The climate in the spring is es-
pecially enjoyable and suitable for
hiking and baseball. Gardening
also is a favorite pastime in such
communities as these in the spring
The flowers and trees add vivid
ness to all these enJoyments, and
without them spring would be as
dull as winter l have to end here
l have a severe case of spring fever.

1t is always interesting for out
siders to know what the girls are
doing in Home Economics. We
are now on a unit of nutrition in
relation to the family meals. For
the first week or SO the girls of

for children Of various ages from
one to six years of age. Then we
prepared meals for persons having
colds and other such diseases. We
are now preparing the three kinds
of diet, which are liquid, soft, and

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Conquering Habits.

TT HAS often been said that man Is
bundle of habits. Especially
during these later years, when q
mechanistic philosophy of life has
come to dominate psychological specu-
lation and experimentation. In fact,
this doctrine has almost become
dogma. 1t runs this way: All you
need to do In order to get rid Of a
bad habit is to substitute another for
it. In other words, remove the un-
desirable part of your complex ma
chinery and install in its place some
thing that works differently.
The trouble with this doctrine is
that, like all mechanistic theories of
existence, 1t doesn't work very we'll
The smallest sort of habit, If such
there be, has perhaps 10000 connec-
tions. To take it out means some
thing approaching wreckage.
Perhaps will power Is the only way
out. 1t has its difficulties to be sure.
But those who have successfully con-
quered a bad habit usually describe
the process by the words II just quit" "
Many habits are associated with
imagination. So, in order to get rid
of them, the mental pictures which
lie back Of them must first be eradi-
Gated. In that case, it seems advis-
able to work at something else when
the images appear. In other words,
substitute new images for old.

NeWBeauty
Standards
Stress Chic
Individuality in Dress
and Makeup First
Rule to Follow.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

FOR years beauty authorities have
minimizeo the old fashioned
beauty standards whereby a woman
was judged by the symmetry of her
features. True beauty, we have main
tanned. can b. achieved by any one
who is willing to spend little time
each day ingrooming. in caring for the
skin, hands, lair, figure. Now we
have arrived at newer, higher
standard.
Dramatic yourself Is the newest
command of the famous twins-Fash-
ion and Beauty. 1t is no longer enough
to be well groomed. Your hair must
be alive' with color and individually
arranged to flatter your particular
type. Your skin must be not only
cleansed, toned and nourished-it
must have a luminous, transparent
quality-and your makeup must do
dramatic, complimentary things for
you. Your clothes must have an in
dividual touch. make you stand out
in a crowd, but here is where a stroke
of genius is necessary-that glamorous
touch must be quietly achieved. Chic
and smartness seldom go with the
bizarre.
I look forward with Just a little
trepidation to the year 1896. In the
first place, this sudden search for
glamour may take women to ridiculous
extremes. In the second, the empha-
sis on glamour may make women over
look the Importance Of good grooming
And that would be catastrophe.
For it is like putting the cart before
the horse to attempt to achieve glam-
our without the very necessary foun-
dation of good grooming. 1t is folly
to heap fresh makeup on a skin that
Is not thoroughly cleansed and toned
and prepared" for makeup. If you
skip the cleansing, you do so at your
own risk. Don't expect to achieve a
rich, beautiful effect. You can't!
I've seen women rush into a beauty
salon and ask for a setting without
a shampoo (no time for shampoo
in a terrible hurry. Now occasionally
this may be a necessary evil, but don't
make a habit of it. And don't expect
your hair to have clean, shining
quality about 1t. 1t can't, unless it is
properly cleaned first.
Never merely change your nail
polish and think you can get away
with it" if your nails need shaping
and the cuticle needs trimming. Many
women change their polish frequently
between manicures, and If the nail is
nicely groomed this is entirely in
order. I'm talking about women who
haven't time for a complete mani
cure-when it is really needed. In
which case the polish will only en-
phasize the need.
Likewise makeup on eyes that are
puffy or followed or circled will only
call attention to the defects. And
color on unkempt brows will make
every little unruly hair stand out and
shout that it Is where 1t shouldn't be-
Glamour by all means. It's the
1895 standard. But grooming first
and always.
My bulletin on good grooming and
personal daintineSs is yours for the
asking. Send q self-addressed,

"Oh, that's all right. You can cry

there is any fun in 1t. We don't

Philip looked at her retreating back
in stunned surprise. He tried q
couple of yells. Nobody needed. He
tried it again, and stamped his feet
savagely. Nobody noticed. Somebody
began singing, That's the Road for
Billy and Me-" Soon the noise
drowned out the yells. Philip found
himself alone in room full Of sing
ing, rocking, riding children. He sur
rendered, made his way back to his
brown charger and rode along with
the rest, not singing, but with a ques-
tioning, wondering expression in his
eyes that said, "I don't understand

should be very great. Furthermore
these new styles, straight from the
