Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.


A BOUT this time of year, many
persons experience strange feel
ing of loneliness. A certain amount Of
nervousness accompanies this feeling.
Perhaps it's a longing for something
that seems to be passing never to re-
turn.
Autumnal nostalgia is the name
given for this common feeling. I
know of no scientific study of this
emotional disturbance. We can at
best postulate certain theories. But
we may be sure that science, which
investigates everything, will one day
spread its "pure light" over the situa-
tion and evolve an explanation.
What probable theories might one
propose for this perennial feeling?
Possibly it is the echo of mans soul
as he goes into Information. No doubt
our faraway ancestors betook them
selves to caves, very much as do the
toad, land turtle and woodchuck.
They spent the Summer months stor-
ing up. within their bodies. energy
which under ordinary conditions was
calculated to carry them over the
Winter.
One thing we do know: The mind
has to have a body. And the body
works automatically. This means
that the mind works in automatic
sympathy with it. Therefore, We might
conclude that autumnal nostalgia is
merely the mental foretaste of COM
ing period of physical inactivity. AS
the muscles and sinews prepare for
rest, so does the mind enter upon its
annual dream-state-a feeling that

A Washington hairdreSser is using
a coiffure inspired by one OF Bot
ticellis angels which you no doubt
saw in the large fashion show given
last week by a group of Washington
shops. The hair parted in the CEN

in place by a rolled bandeau of

of short, loose curls all over the

THE photograph at the left above
shows such a coiffure. which. by
the way, is a transformation which
was made in Paris by an outstanding
hairdresser from New York and shown
recently on model here in connec-
ton with a special beauty exhibition.
Such transformations are used great
deal on the Continent by smart women
who realize the advantage of a close
bob for daytime and a more formal
coiffure for evening.
Another of the up-to-the- minute
coiffures is Grecian in its tendency
to brush the curls high off the neck
at the back and swirl them toward
the left with lots of ringletS on top.
An extreme coiffure brushes the hair
straight back at the sides, and masses

Of those problems that has to be
solved according to the individual, for
fortunately in these modern days we
do not all slavishly follow every whim
of fashion as it is dictated. but use
our good judgment to temper it to
our individual personality and thereby
gain in added chic.
If you go to good hairdresser
and ask him to give you a smart Golf
fure he will study the general con-
tour of your head and face. taking
many things into consideration before
deciding on which of the current hair
Styles is best suited to you. What sort
of hats do you wear, are you a woman
with busy days and quiet evenings. or
q woman whose calendar shows a
series of formal entertainments when
the coiffure is a very important mat
ter? These are some of the determine
ing factors in your choice OF hair ar
rangement for the Winter.
If your hair is not naturally curly,
and you do not have a classic pro-
file that can stand severely straight
hair, the first requisite for a we'll
groomed head is a good permanent
wave. Here again you have to choose
before the permanent is given, be-
tween the short bob that is waved
to the nape of the neck, the combi-
nation of top wave with ringlet ends,
and the newer arrangement of hair
brushed back smoothly from the fore
head with a wreath of curls around
the back, for the hair must be cut
to the desired shape. And having it
shaped by razor in deft hands is said
to be the preferred method.

Thousands upon thousands Of in
telligent, highly educated men marry
these feminine morons just because
they are easy on the eyes. They think
they will be content to look at living
picture all their lives, and that it is
cute to have a wife who rolls her
eyes at you and what you think she
thinks. But the living picture turns
into a chrome after a few years and
a cultured man gets tired of talking
to wife who has to have everything
explained to her in words OF one
syllable, and who never knows what
he is talking about when he tells q
good story or discusses a new play
or the political situation. Many a
poor. bored husband discovers that
what was charming artlessnesS at l8
is nothing but dull stupidity at 40.
Then there is sensitiveness. Many
men are fascinated by the highly
strung, neurotic, emotional girl who
goes to pieces over everything and
bursts into tears at the slightest prov
ocation. They feel that she is some
thing rare, fragile, delicate, different
from the ordinary millrun of common
place women and they have the same
yen for her they might have for some
exotic bit of costly bric-a-brac for
which they had no need, and which
they wouldn't know what to do with

precious feelings spread all over the

can never keep from stepping on some
of them. Also he finds out that while
it was thrilling to comfort pretty
girl who was weeping on the third
button of his vest, there is mighty
little kick in having to deal with a
wife who is a chronic weeper, and
who is always picked in brine about
something or other that has gone
wrong Likewise, it is borne in upon
him that sensitiveness is an alibi for
temper and selfishneSS, and that every
time he asserts few natural rights
he has to give in, or else be drowned
in salt water.
OF course, there are lots Of other
qualities in women that look good

Well, tickle as fashion is we doubt
whether she will ever go back to the
knee-length atrocities. But skirts are
shorter and wider in afternoon dresses,
and even erening hens are going up
a bit. All of which means more OF
the legs showing, and they had better
be beautiful.
Whether or not you go in for the

your own whims, and further there's

leg-shaping takes time and only per-

There are a few splendid exercises
which, if you put your mind on them
and follow them at least a few times
every day, will make your calves and
ankles so good to look at you'll wish
the wise young blades prediction will

Before your exercise can have any
value, however, make sure that you
are walking properly in shoes that fit

grace, for good circulation and pro-

Do you know that just wiggling

the ankle and make the calf more

The rising on toes exercise and
the squatting exercise are as good
for the hips as for the calves and
ankles. The bicycling exercise is
splendid. Don't overdo any of these
at first, but work on them gradually.
Now try these: Lying on back,
slowly raise both legs straight up.
Then bend the toes as far forward
and down as you can. Next as far
back. Repeat a few times.
Lying on back or in sitting po-

All of the evening coiffures make
use of jeweled pins, berets, ribbons
and flowers. The little stars studded
with rhinestones are reminiscent of
those early centuries from which We
are taking SO many fashion motifs,
the Juliet caps are perfectly adorable
and New York is all agog over the
snood-that wide-meshed net worn on
the back of the head.
IF YOU are one of those whose hair
is half way between permanents, so
that you have trouble with the ends
dropping down too low and looking
wispy. try the new curler that requires
no heat or water. This sounds impoS-
sible. but the trick is easy when you
know how. To do it YOU use new
kind of an end curler into which you
insert the hair, either wet or dry, and
let the metal with spring tension hold
it firmly in place so that it may be
rolled from the very end, no matter
how wiry the hair. After rolling 1t
you insert a bobby pin from UNDER
meath so that it won't show. then slip
the curler out according to directions,
and your little curl is securely pinned
in to stay. If you have dampened the
hair first and pinned up nice little
tight curls to wear all day, they will
be ready to comb out for a looSer
effect in the evening, if desired. In
this way you need only one or two
curriers'. a large and small one, for
you slip it cut of the curl each time
and use it again. They are priced at
ST and $3.50 and are great time saw
ers, as you will discover.

Az who gave you a D? How
many times have I told you not to
speak like that! Call people by their
names. She means the cat"
well, that isn't so far wrong. Miss
Cary went and gave me D. I'm just
as good as the rest, but she didn't give
them D."
Maybe they did some work. How
you expect to get a high mark for
doing nothing is beyond me. OF
course, you got d, and that's all you're
going to get until you pay for a
higher mark. And just remember that
your birthday is coming, and Christ
mas soon after that, and you'll get the
rewards you earn and pay for. I'm
not going to spend money for D boy.
Maybe Is cents is about his price. For
boy, or Grade A boy I'd pay
more. Most people would. In fact,
most people do. You're going to learn
pretty soon that you get nothing for
nothing"
Pete pondered that well. Something
in his mothers voice, as she called
him D boy, made him Squirm inside.
Grade A milk cost more than B, and
loose milk less than either. Maybe
he wasn't as good as he thought he
was? All day long he went about his
business with that thought haunting
him. He was only worth D, the
lowest price the teacher paid any one.
The longer he thought about it the
madder he got. About o'clock he was
boiling over. He stayed behind to
speak to the teacher.
why did you give me D, Miss
Cary?"
Because you earned it. You didn't
expect me to pay you for what you
didn't do, did you?"
What didn't do? Didn't do my
lessons? Didn't I study as hard as
Mike? You gave him B plus. I'm as
smart as he is any day."
"Oh, you're smart enough. Peter.
That's why I wonder at you. You
ought to know that you get nothing
for nothing" Dust what his mother
had said) "You brought in no home
work 10 different times. You we're
late three times. You volunteered no
service of any kind"
why should pick up papers?
What's the janitor for? He's paid"
Exactly. So are you. You missed
three to five times in every subject.
Your composition for the month is not
in yet, and I suppose shall have to
keep you in the room one of these
days until you write it. You've done
about as little as boy can do and
keep alive. So you are worth D. I'm
glad you don't like it. hope you
keep on not liking it. I'd hate to have
that tag on me. I sympathiZe with
you but see no help for you unless
you get to work and earn a higher
rating. Good afternoon"
Pete went home kicking the dry
leaves ahead of him, and planning
vengeance on a cruel world. Mother
received him coolly. That night father
signed his report card without word
or look. No mention of trip to the
country with a gypsy fire to cook the
fresh-caught fish. And he had looked
forward to that trip. No word about
the foot ball he needed. The old one
was out. Nothing for nothing rang
in his ears. But hope dies hard
Aren't We going tomorrow, Dad?"
Nope I'm spending no time or
money on a boy worth only a D.
You've got to raise your value before I
raise the price,"

~ NE of the things that makes
marriage such an unpredict-
able adventure is that fact
that the very qualities that
allured us into marriage with man
or woman are so often the very ones
that prove unendurable to live with
and send us to the divorce court.
Take helplessness, for instance. Be
fore marriage there is nothing so ap-
pealing to man in woman as help
lessness. That is why the clinging
vine always finds support. There is
something In the spectacle Of woman
who doesn't know what it is all about,
and who just sits down and wrings
her hands when she encounters any
of the practical problems of life that
brings out all the chivalry in his ma
ture and that makes him feel that it
would be just simply heavenly to spend
the remainder of his life taking care
of the poor little darling and protect
ing her from all the hardshipS of a
cruel world.
But after marriage helplessness does
not appear to the man to be the car
dinal feminine virtue. It seems about
the worst vice. For the husband finds
that his clinging vine is not a f1owery
wreath about his neck. She is mill
stone. And when he has to do his
wife's work as well as his own, and
put up with sloppy housekeeping and
waStefulness and extravaganza be-
cause he is married to a woman who
never learns how to cook or run a
budget, he wonders what the fool
killer was doing that it didn't get him
on the day he picked out helpless
wife.
