WOMAN’S PAGE. STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1578 FEATUR New Things and Old Interiors BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. l 1N T Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Nervousness. The thing that made Freud famous was his theory of nervousness. And since every one is more or less nerv- |ous most of the time, it was easy for the Freudians to command an au- dience. Repression is the key to nervousness. Freud described his first patient as one | who was suffering from unconscious N e A T 12729, THE OLD FURNITURE AND THE NEW ACCESSORIES CAN BE SO WELL ASSEMBLED THAT EACH SETS OFF THE OTHER ADVANTAGEOUSLY | AS INDICATED. ‘There are few homes that have not had some .!dh‘gflon!t Xw tdh:lr !Iél;lri;lt ings during past few days. mas is almost sure to bring either new furniture or new furnishing ac- cessories, fresh and up-to-date. The home maker delights in them, but sometimes these very things accent the less pronounced freshncss of the things already in the rooms, and perhaps a certain worn and shabby appearance. ‘The contrasts are too strong. There are many little things that can be done to fit the new with the old advantageously. Unless these mat- ters are taken care of while the con- trast strikes the home maker strongly, the eye becomes so accustomed to the discrepancies that they cease to be jarring. They probably are, however, to others who enter the rooms with @ fresh vision, and unaccustomed eye. ‘The necessity for prompt action is ap- parent. ‘The furniture can be given a good rubbing with furniture polish and any upholstery be thoroughly brushed. Use a pointed furniture brush—that is, one in which the bristles form a point—if you have buttoned upholstery. With yound-headed gimp tacks tack up any Joose gimp or binding. Glue on any bits of veneer that have chipped off. It is important to keep every bit of The Daily Cross Word Puzzle wood so broken off, as it is not easy to get similar bits, though, of course, it can be done. If the wanted bits are missing, and the time is not op- portune for having the furniture re- paired, match the color with stain or dye and paint the spots so that they at_least match the wood in tone. Minor scratches in furniture can be satisfactorily darkened by rubbing with a cloth moistened with Kkerosene. Grease spots can be taken from tex- tiles with benzine, gasoline, or any one of many cleansing fluids or prepa- rations. Apart from these major matters there are plenty of little things that can be done to help the new fit in well with the old, such as going over the books in the book cases or shelves, and see- ing that they are in straight, even rows, laundering anti-macassars, clean- ing sofa cushions, etc. It should be borne in mind that the new things should always be put where they fit in best. It frequently happens that this means putting them in rooms different from those expected. Study the new furnishings and con- sider well just where they should go in order to get the best and most ar- tistic effects from old and new to- gether. (Copyright. 1928.) memories—memories which she re- pressed because she didn’t wany to think about them. When he finally succeeded in find- ing out what her unconscious memo- | ries were, and then in getting her to think them over, the young woman in question was cured. Her repressions were removed from her mind. She had a mental housecleaning. It is a fact that no one is completely free from his or her repressions. They keep coming and going. A person gets nervous only when he gets so many of them that he cannot find a way to make them fit into the facts of every- day life. Repressed memories have a way of working themselves out of the mind | into the body. The individual bites | his nails, trembles at every little irri-| tation, gets a palpitating heart, some- times stammers, develops a walking fever. ‘There is no limit to the strange forms these repressed memories may take to utilize their energy. This is what Freudians call “conversion down- ward.” meaning that some unconscious idea finds expression in some physical symptom. The best way to avoid all this is to keep from taking the world too serious- | ly. This amounts to a warning about thinking too highly of ourselves, for the world, so far as each of us can know it, is pretty largely a measure of what we take ourselves to be. In other words, nervous folks are oversensitive crea- | tures with an inflated self-appraise- ment of themselves. (Copyright. 1928.) Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND.

EAR MISS DIX: Five years ago my husband deserted me for another woman. At the time he left he offered to deed me the home and all the balance of his property if I would sue him for a divorce. I agreed to do so, but after he deeded me the property I refused to give him his freedom, because I thought I could force him eventually to come back to me. I don't want a divorce, because I think I have a right to the prestige and dignity that my husband’s name and position give me. Since he deeded me the property my husband has refused to give me any money. He told me to live upon the income of the property, so in order to make him pay me temporary alimony I have closed up my rental property and my house and have gone to live with my married son and his wife. My husband and I were married 27 years and have {wo grown children. We were never congenial, but he never drank or gambled or ran around with other women, and he always provided well for us and I never thought he would leave me. Now he has fallen in love with this woman. I have done everything I could to humiliate him and her. My lawyer, my relatives, my friends and even my children say that my husband will never return to me, and implore me to open up my houses and rent them, but I believe if I have the courage to hold out and make my husband see that I am dependent on my children he will come back to me. My husband says he hates and despises me, but he said that years ago and he still stayed on. Do you think he will come back to me? A BRAVE AND LOYAL WIFE. Answer: You sign yourself a “brave and loyal wife.” T think the very gods must laugh at your queer and distorted idea of what constitutes a brave and loyal wife. Is it brave to hang on to a man who tells you that he hates you world? Is it loyal to try by every means in the world to drag the father of your children down into the dust? : Where is your pride? Where is your dignity, woman? Have you no atom of self-respect?

The Sidewalks He led the family to the tree Christ- mas morning and pointed to a large radio set to which was attached a card saying “To me, from myself.” It seems that he and his wife Have never agreed on radio programs. He likes jazz and speakers and she is fond of classical music. Wednesday he hooked up his receiver in the room he calls his own and where he can listen in peace to the sort of entertainment he seeks. Many ordinarily happy families have been di- vided over this important issue. The love of variety is a characteristic and seasoning of American life. We de- mand hundreds of designs and devices, even though we choose but one. Almost over night the air was filled with diversified programs. Broadcast- ing stations offering every form of en- tertainment sprang up like a brood of rabbits all over the country. At 3 oclock in the morning the radio (] flend covld tune in and get station I0U.

It is the spirit of America. ‘The trouble be- tween our friend and ‘his wife started at the inaugura- tion of commercial programs. The va- rious entertainment vintages served up and Mrs. a chance to choose their fa- vorite brand of music and other radio dishes. Thus the ruckus began in carnest.

This was followed by an account of the day's important cricket match and a chess tournament, For a musical dessert the dance orches- tra at the Savoy Hotel rendered a few numbers.

Kindly stars will dominate tomorrow, according to astrology, which reads in the stars much of friendly augury. It is a configuration especially favor- able to older persons and should im- part buoyance and light-heartedness. Industry has the forecast of a profit- able week in which workers will have many advantages. The churches should benefit, and the day is auspicious for the loftier aspira- tions of the human mind. Constructive plens for philanthropies and charities are believed to be well directed while this planetary govem-l ment prevails. ‘The seers foretell a time when pov- erty will be eliminated from the world, but first diseases must Be conquered to a great degree.

New sciences will be developed or old sciences extended, so that knowledge of the human machinery will be wide- spread and common maladies that in- terfere with it will be eliminated. This should be a lucky rule for heads of families as well as for lead- ers in business and the professions. High standards of efficiency in fami- | lies as well as business organizations will be sought in the new year, it is forecast. Homes are to focus attention and those who occupy them are to be held to their responsibilities, especially in the care of the young.

NANCY PAGE Thank You Notes Are Sent Before New Year Day BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “I tell you, Peter, you don't half appreciate your wife. There you sit buried in the paper and I write all the “thank you notes’ for the family. You know you ought to write to the Greens. They are more your friends than mine.” No response. “Didn’t you hear me, Peter?” “Uh huh, but why do you suppose I gave you all that nice stationery and that box of correspondence cards if I didn't expect you to use them? You know, Nance, you can wrjte lots better notes than I can. ave a most chatty and social pen.” With which bit of blarney Peter buried himself in his paper again. Nancy bent anew over her desk. Last year when she was feeling so miserable before Peter Page, jr., was born, she had let the Christmas ac- knowledgements slip for weeks and weeks. The longer she delayed writing them the harder she found them to do. So this year, down underneath all her grumbling, she was really glad to get the plain good-looking cards. While she was still excited over her gifts she found it easy to express an appreciation which was long and genuine enough to go on a card. Had she written long letters she would never have finished before New Year day. As it was the last gift was duly acknowledged and the acknowledgment mailed by New Year eve.

I know plenty of suburban women who would get out their cars.to go a half block on a rainy day. Few American women would deliberately start out for a walk for health or pleasure on a rainy day the way Englishwomen frequently do, There is one large class of American young women, however, for whom rainy days seem to have no terrors. I mean, of course, the college girls. Nothing short of individualism would offer an excuse to them for not going about the campus very much the same in rainy weather as when skies are clear. And the college girls, I know, take a keen interest in raincoats and umbrellas.

This must be done very care- fully to prevent bruising the skin and causing scars. Some of the smaller blackheads may be washed out with soap and warm water. Work up a rich lather on your face-cloth and rub it into the skin, rinse in clean water and lather again, letting the soap remain on the skin until dry. Now rinse well. This will rid you of most of the black- heads. Press out the remainder. care- fully with a comedon expressor or with your fingers protected with a cloth.
