the Ideal Type of Meal Serve Before Foot Ball Gar
Good Taste
A Guide to
Chic Dress
Costumes Should Be
In Harmony With
Personality.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

7 IPON good posture hangs (beau-
tifully) or falls the first Fall
dress and every costume thereafter.
But perhaps before posture comes
the all-important element OF good
taste. For, after all, one can carry
q dress beautifully. but If the dress
is fundamentally wrong as TO cut or
color it cannot fully fiatter.
Good taste. it seems to me, is
smartly. And good taste, like love
Of good books, grows on one. Don't
let them tell you that a woman
knows instinctively what colors or
what lines she should wear. 1t may
seem second nature with her. but 1t is
the result Of cumulative experience
and study. II you come across
youngster in her teens who seems to
have an intuitive "knack" or flair"
look for a guiding influence in the
family somewhere-mother, sister.
aunt. Yes. we'll admit to Q genius
or artist here and there; but they're
few and far between. For the most
part good taste is acquired and with
a little careful study and thought it
Is easily cultivated.
The average woman knows pre-
cisely what costume Is appropriate
for what occasion. The woman with
good taste does not overdress for
business nor does she underdress for
dress-up occasions. II she has jewels
ha
casions, she changes to an elaborate
coiffure, to eyeshadow and similar
subtle artificeS. She may own only
two or three costumes, but each is
complete even to accessories and each
is assigned for certain types to wear
sports. business, formal and so on.
And all her costumes have one
thing in common: harmony with her
personality. The smart dresser is
smart enough to have her clothes
accent her, but she predominates
This dosen't mean that she need be
afraid of color. Far from it. The
woman with taste has keen color
sense. Drabness never dallies long
with her. But knowing colors, she
knows enough to avoid any that are
so loud they hush her into the back
ground. Nor does she fear trimmings,
the type that really add and enhance.
But she does avoid OVERRIDING and do
dads that are cheap and what the
French call de trop" (meaning too
much. Fortified with good taste
she can call upon the simple and
smart to keep her distinctive. She
does not call on clothes to make
her look conspicuous any more than
she would think Of raising her voice
to gain attention. Her good taste
Is part of a charming personality
which takes her to popularity and to
poise.

Mental Measurement.

pOPULAR things are popularity mis-
understood. Now that our schools
and colleges are opening. it is time
to call attention to one of the biggest
errors in the understanding Of teacher
and parent.
Something like 20 million persons
Of school age will soon be subjected TO
our modern so-called psychometric
tests. The teachers imagine that they
are taking the measurement of minds.
The mysterious results of these tests
are turned over to the headmaster
Pupils wonder about the whole thing
and carry their wonderment to the
evening meal at home. Then the
parents get heated up about questions
they have already considered: Are
Sue and Johnny normal? II not, In
what direction and by how much do
they vary?
The psychologists do not measure
minds. That's impossible! Merely
because they deal with great numbers
of children, most of them imagine that
the human mind may be expressed in
quantities. Human minds carry vastly
more symbols than the language of
mathematics or any other science. The
failure to consider this point Is the
weakness Of psychometrics.

~ NE OF the popular fallacies
I concerning marriage Is that
marriage goes sour on women
~ before it does on men: that
husbands tire Of their wives before
their wives do of them. Both sexes
hold religiously to this belief, but
women are especially committed to 1t,
so we are confronted with the spectacle
of multitudes of women who toll like
coal beavers to hold their husbands
affection. while never a husband lifts
a finger to keep his wife's. Men gen.
orally feel that they couldn't lose their
wives If they tried.
But after having observed the COM
ings and the goings-and particularly
the goings-of husbands through many
wears. I am convinced that this theory
is all wet, that 1t Is the wives who
tire first and that very few husbands
ever lose interest in their wives until
after their wives have lost interest in
them.
OF course, it Is unsafe to generanze
about marriage because it is game in
which the unexpected always happens
and where there are q billion excep-
tions to every rule. Also each indi-
yidual case of a disillusioned husband
or wife rests on its own merits and Is
a matter Of temper and temperament
and personality.
n \ X 4
CTIIL and all, and taking all Of these
- things into consideration, there are
many facts to back up the contention
that there are more bored wives than
there are bored husbands. It is only,
as a general thing. after the wife is so
fed up with her husband that she no
longer takes the trouble to try and
please him that he begins to suspect
that she isn't his dream girl anyway.
In proof whereof consider these
points: That the feminine sex is the

Scent stamp gave them pause. Finally,
they achieved not too violent violet

RY ANGELO PATRI.

DEAR Boys and Girls: I notice
- that there are two classes OF you-
those who help and those who have
TO be helped. Look at yourself Tor a
dav or so and discover which group
YOU belong to, and if it Is not the
proud group of Helpers, then move
yourself there as soon as you can get
busy.
Take Jimmy The bell rings in the
schoolyard and everybody turns his
face toward the stairs and classes.
Everybody except Jimmy. He is read
ing scrap of paper he picked up, ana
he continues to stand there reading,
making the others go around him,
until the patrol has to say: Get along,
Jimmy. The bell rang"
In class everybody gets material
ready. settles down to work. Not
Jimmy. He has no paper. He sud-
denly remembers that he left his coat
In the gym locker and his pen is in
the pocket. He is late in finishing his
work, and the teacher has to hold the
class because the traffic is flowing
through the hall Somebody hands
Jimmy his hat Somebody pokeS him
in the back when it is time to start.
His report card is an unpleasant rec
ord for any parent to read. The
teacher coaches him. his mother prods
him. his father pulls him along-the
whole class pushes him. Nobody de-
pends upon him. Hes nuisance"
is the general verdict.
There Is another boy in the same
class. a quiet chap who is always where
he belongs, always on the job. His
work is done on time. He has spare
time to hand a girl the pen she has
dropped, to place a chair for the
teacher, to open the door for boy
whose arms are full, to help efficiently
and quietly. He heads his team, he
heads his class. Nobody has to look
after his belongings, nobody has to
see that he does his work, nobody has
to live for him. He lives his day
through and helps other people live
theirs. He is Helper.
Now 1t is possible that Jimmy could
not be a Helper Possible. But /
would like to have him try himself
out for while just to make sure.
! have an idea that if he put his mind
on 1t he could help himself consider
ably and have little left for others.
Many young people have to be helped
because they have not thought about
being the one who does the helping.
There Is all the difference in the world
between the two ideas. The one who
is strong enough to help is leader
and a successful person from the start
while the one who has always to be
helped is a follower, dependent,
failure.
Study yourself. How much work
can you do on your own? How many
times a day has somebody to boost
you along? How much help do you
take? How much help do you give?
And remember that the more you give
the bigger you are every way.
Cordially yours.
