WOMAN'S PAGE ' Gingham and Pique Come to Fore BY MARY ‘To some women silk materials will always seem preferable to those of cot- fon. And the cotton frock will always seem suitable only for housework. I told a friend of mine about some of the new gingham jacket frocks for Southern wear I had recently seen at a {favorite shop.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Our Fictitious Selves. ‘The so-called ‘“new psychology,” which really owes its origin to Freud, has done a lot toward making human beings more human. For one , it has laid bare the self-created ns that heretofore have prevented psythol- ogy from assuming its rightful nflue among the natural sciences. Tha: to Fnu'd. his interpreters and his imita- tors! What are the self-created fictions? Always an enlargement of the sense of self, or what some psychologists call the ego. This ego of ours increases with. time. Everything we experience becomes a part of it. The words of Walt Whitman arg here appropriate: A “The sense of what is real; The thought if, after all, it should prove unreal. The doubts of day time and the doubts of night tim The curious whether and how, Whether that which appears so is so, or is it all flashes and specks?” ‘The fictitious self is a historical self. Historical events and personages crowd themselves into our now, and we lose sight of their real setting. A lot of col- oring goes into it. Today the Nation celebrates the birth of one of its leading first citizens, George Washington. Who can give us a true picture of this man, who as a histarical character comes by slow de- grees to be a part of our very selves? The cherry tree is probably a fiction. Out of it all we create ideals, some of which scarcely have anything to do with our actual lives. In all probability our fictitious selves are as flighty as the situations that produce the color. New settings re- quire new decorations and new designs. These become the symbols of a large mentation, much of which goes into the discard. What is a fictitious self? The sugared-off product of a vast past pro- jecting :tself into a still more vast fu- ture, This self changes with every new and fuller experience. We emerge as something different, for around it all hangs “the curious whether and how,” i the “flashes and specks.” 6. Worthless (slang). . Metal-containing earth. . Woman's name. . Australians. .

T asked this question of a group of women the other day, and one of | them replied: “I would make my husband more companionable. I would like to turn him into a chum instead of having him be just a meal ticket. I am thankful enough that I have a husband who provides me with filet mignon and lobster Newberg, but I wish that he would add some mental and spiritual food to the menu, and remember that there are times when 1 am just,starved for talk. “The charge is often brought against women that we marry for a home. ‘What we really marry is for companionship, and mighty few of us get it. The thing that brings that rapturous look to a bride's face is the belief that she is getting an intimate friend who will be interested in everything she thinks and does, to whom she can turn her heart inside out, to whom she can babble, world without end, without any danger of boring him, and who will never blab any of the confidences she pours into his ears. “She gets the shock of her life when she finds out that instead of having acquired a fireside companion when she married, she got either a transient guest or a dummy. For most husbands either beat it away from home as soon as they have had their dinners, or else sit up and' murmur ‘ugh-huh’ and ‘m-m-m-m-m’ when their wives make an effort to converse with them. e e ow “NOW my husband is an exceptionally brilliant man and noted as a wit. At dinner parties he sets the table in a roar and one of the reasons I married him was because he was so interesting, but, believe me, if I want to hear him talk I have to go away from home to do it. “It isn't because I am dull or stupid or incapable of understanding what he says and catching the point of his stories.. Nor Is it because he isn't fond of me. It is just because he has sort of talked himself out during the day and he likes to slump and rest when he gets home, and it has never occurred to him that it is any part of a husband’s duty to entertain his wife, “It is not very amusing to spend your evenings in silence could cut it with a knife, and wear yourself out monologuing along, or trylng to get some conversation out of a stuffed shirt that merely grunts every now and | then to show it is aiive.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON, All human beings judge others by themselves. This fault is called the psychologist’s fallacy because it has to do with the mental state. As a matter of fact, the psychologist is least guilty of making this mistake, because he understands the laws of mind and is careful to avoid the com- mon pitfalls. ‘The poet who judges stones, trees and brooks by himself is the most extreme offender. He speaks of the sun as ris- ing joyously over the hills or as setting sadly over the blood-soaked battle- flelds. Of course the sun has no emo- tins. We read our emotions into the world of nature because we are human and must think and feel and act in human ways. it is the handiest yardstick—the easiest way. The nature of mind is such that to understand the meaning of anything we must interpret it in the light of our past experience. Judging others by ourselves is not altogether a bad thing. While it may lead us far astray in some detalls of human nature, it also helps us to be kind and sympathetic, Seeing another person in distress, we feel badly because we know how we would feel under those conditions. We therefore rush to their aid and do all in our power- to relieve their suffering. Because we have no other standard of judgment, we judge others by our- selves.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 22, 1861—Today the citizens of Washington fittingly celebrated the | ident of the Republic. Many persons | doubtless comparad the political storm | of today with the quiet of a year ago | and the national repose and unanimity accused of taking things a bit easler | than those farther north. In fact, a good many naturally regard lack of speed as a distinguishing characteristic of these people. So Cadet Lejeune was not long at the academy before his ability to sleep at any time, under any conditions, and for what appeared to his classmates an in- terminable length of time, became well known and a source of merriment. One morning the young Louisianian stuck to his bunk even longer than usual. strict, and 1t looked as if he would be chalked up as tardy. One of his close friends started for his room. When asked where he was going, he flung back over his shoulder: “I've got to wake Lejeune up. If I don’t, that man will sleep until Gabriel blows his trumpet.” From that time on he was to be known as “Gabe.” However, no one but those in the class of '88 has dared 50 to refer to his weakness along this line. The zeal of those gentlemen in the United States Senate who sit on oppo- Regulations as to rising were |2 when Washington was inaugurated, fol- | site sides of the chamber to seize -ever: lowing a unanimous election after the adoption of the Constitution. Many persons doubtless offered pray- ers that the former conditions of na- tional repose might be restored to the | distracted country. Only a few places of business were open and the outdoor attractions -of brilliant sunshine, clean streets and the military parade brought out many persons, who crowded Penn- sylvania avenue from the Peace Mon- ument to the Capitol and the East Plaza of the latter building. A numerous throng of spectators gathered at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street with the expectation of seeing the formation of the battalion of United States ‘troops ordered to assemble at that point. They were no little disappointed when infor- mation was recelved that the order for | the parade of Government troops had been revoked. ‘The local Volunteer troops took a | prominent part in the procession and presented a fine spactacle. The volun- | teer militia were out at 11 o'clock this | morning, with the right of their line resting in Pennsylvania and Four-and- | one-half street. Led by the President’s | mounted guard, they swung into line by | the right flank and paraded up the Ave- | nue past the White House, where they were reviewed by the new President. ‘The order of march of the local troops i was as follows: Washington Rifles, Capt..

One of the anclent Greek philosophers, aware of this trait, stated that if human beings were built like frogs they would think of their deities as having similar traits. exactly alike.

Rather they add to dignity of the distinguished Democrat. But the question persists—why did he take them up? Some one suggests that the spats are just a hangover from the presidential campaign. This solution will not hold up, however, for the date of adoption goes back farther. Others are of the opinion that it is because Jim Reed— a bespatted Democrat—soon is to quit the Senate, and Senator Robinson felt that the Republicans should not be allowed to have a monopoly. Well, whatever his motive, the fact remains that spats still are to be worn by a distinguished Democrat on Capitol Hill, and that Nick Longworth and Charlie Curtis are not to be alone in their sartorial elegance. The United States Senate is a place that should not be overlooked by those interested in what.the well dressed man in_public life should wear. Take Senafor Heflin of Alabama.
