Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Broad.Minded People.

WHAT is broad-minded person9
w Certainly, it is not the mind will
ing to believe anything and every
thing. That would be narrow-n minded
ness. 1t would be q mind so narrow
that you could get nothing into it.
Perhaps few items Of interest, but
certainly no working principles.
Broad-minded persons are those who
know how to put themselves in the
other fellows place. You might call
this social instinct. The chances
are that it is cultivated.
Broad-minded persons are generally
known for their ability to agree with
people. They never stop to argue over
trifles. In a. case where the subject
under discussion makes no difference
in its decision, the broad-minded per-
son allows the other disputant to have
his way. You never hear a broad
minded person spending much time
arguing about religion or politics. He
finds it too easy to put himself in the
other fellows place.
Study any person whom you re-
gard as broad-minded. You will find
that he is a great student of human
nature. This requires more than the
average amount Of imagination. When
he uses this imagination, he culti-
Yates tact. And as he becomes more
tactful, he becomes more agreeable.
In fact, agreeableness is the trait we
are usually recognizing when We re-
fer to some one as being broad-minded.

humble. A lady is always appreciated,
always wanted, and she gets what she
wants without making fuss about It.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR MISS DIX: Can you unriddle
- the riddle to which I am mar
ried? I am married to man who is
perfectly splendid in every other way
except this: He delights in airing all
my faults in front of company. When
we are alone together he practically
never criticizes me, but just let COM
pany come and he holds up all Of my
faults and shortcomings for their
amusement. Why is this? g. M.
Answer-It is his way of being witty.
He makes you the stalking horse for
all his Jokes. Lots of men do that.
They really think their wives are just
the best ever, but In order to show of
how humorous they are they drag out
poor old wife before company and try
for laughs by making fun Of her.
Think how many husbands you know
whose after dinner stories all center
around the time their wives signed a
check yours truly" or put salt in the
ice cream instead of sugar, or sold
their best trousers to the rag man.
The only way to cure him is to make
up some nice spicy stories about his
little peculiarities and set the table in
roar by countering with them when
he starts out with his little spiel

Every mother knows best what she
can afford and Just what the require
ments of her child will be. The type
of clothing worn depends a great deal
1pon enyironment-what the chllds
friends are wearing. I know that my
young daughter demands only skirts
and twin sweaters, because all the
other girls in her class wear sklrts
and twin sweaters-no matter now
dainty and charming wash dress
might be issued to her it would meet
with her entire diSapproval.
Therefore, it is well for the mother
to pay a little attention to the cos
tune OF the average child with whom
her offspring associates. Boys and
girls. all through the to IL stage,
and on up into the teens, are possessed
of a severe sheep complex. They have
a real horror of being different" In
any way from their colleagues, and
an attempt to make them individual
in appearance is apt to bring on a
tantrum or bad case of the 'sulks." ="
= =
REMEMBER once, at my school,
there was a girl who had nervous
breakdown and was sent to sani-
tarium because her mother and father
refused to let her wear her hair in
rated puffs over her ears, as all the
rest of us did. CA horrible style which
bred a number of most unappetizing
epithets.) OF course, her case was
exaggerated by naturally tense and
super-neurotic temperament. but 1t
does illustrate the depths to which
the sheep complex may go.
If mothers would be a little more
considerate of this feeling in their
children, much irritation and unhap-
piness for the child could be avoided.
I grant you that sometimes the fad
Is hard to bear and one suffers torture
to maternal pride by seeing Junior or
Sis in an outlandish creation inspired
by that unattractive child next door,
whose mother has absolutely no taste
--but, fundamentally, the issue Is
relatively unimportant. Explain to
your child that the dress or whatever
1t is Is in the worst possible taste,
and that she will look like "some-
thing the cat dragged in"-but If she
prefers to go ahead in the matter in
spite of these conseduences-it is quite
all right with you. This may save the
situation, but if it doesn't, let her have
the eyesore and wear it until some
outsider makes a sighting remark
about her appearance. This often has
far more effect than any amount of
home conversation and will turn the
trick for you very neatly.
FORTUNATELY, as general rule,
the offending garment or ac-
cessory Is not expensive, and may,
therefore, be INDUCED in. If the
matter really becomes financially
serious, however, stern measures must
be. adopted, and a stand taken and
maintained. That is another rea-

Queries Due
To awkward
Happenings
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. PosT-I have just re-
ceived a wedding present with
which was inclosed the card Of friends
of my parents. I don't know how to
acknowledge this gift as the card read
Mr.. and Mrs and the husband has
been dead for three months"
Answer-The visiting card was OBJ
viously inclosed by mistake. There
fore you, of course, write note OF
thanks to Mrs. x for her present. 1t
would be unthinkable to mention the
mistake or to refer to her husband.
Dear Mrs. Post-Very often, when
I invite friends to dinner, 1t so hap
pens that they cannot come at the
particular time, and instead of letting
me telephone them later when I
please, they usually ask me immedi-
ately to set another time. Please tell
me a way OF handling such a situation
without injuring feelings"
Answer-It is easy enough to say
that you are sorry, but that you can't
say at the moment what night you'll
be free. Don't 60 into any explana-
tions which will entangle you, but just
say you'll telephone them soon.
Dear Mrs. Post-A friend borrowed
$50 over q year ago and has made no
mention of 1t since. She is to get mar
ried in another week, and as yet !
have not sent her wedding present.
In fact, do not feel financially able
to buy one, and wondered whether I
might write her and tell her to con-
slider $40 of her loan as my wedding
present to her, since it is the best
can do. Also, perhaps this will re-
mind her that she still owes me
the money"
Answer-You could not possibly do
that. To make the giving of a pres
ent dole from debt would be In
shockingly bad taste. Unfortunately,
the whole question of debts of honor"
and their payment is almost impos-
sible of solution when the one who
owes has no honor about repayment.
Entirely apart from the subject of
presents, to write her a note telling
her that you greatly need the money
and to ask her to send it to you would
be-disagreeable, but permissible. It
will probably break your friendship,
and also probably you will not be paid.
Because. If she had intended to meet
this debt, she would certainly have
tried to send you something on ac-
count during the last year, or at least
have told you why she could not pay
you.
Perhaps I'm wrong-and I hope I
am-but it seems to me that it is a
question Of your writing OF $50 for a
preserved friendship. At all events,
you need not send her a present. You
can say (when you see her) that you
wanted very much to send her a pres
ent, but you couldn't.
