WOMAN’S PAGE Hat Trees May Be Made at Home BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. . - The hat rests lightly on the dainty hat tree. A Spring hat will soon look out of shape if it is put away in a haphazard fashion. To preserve its shape and keep it splc and span, either lay it away in its hat box or stand it on a hat trees As these trees can be had at no cost and with the smallest amount of work, every woman can possess as many as she requires. ‘To make one of these hat trees use & round box such as cereals now come in. These are of paper. Kound tin coffee or cooky containers are equally good. These are tall enough to rest a hat on without the brim in contact with the shelf. ‘Transform the commercial pasteboard boxes into smart hat trees by gluing or pasting fancy paper around them. Wall paper is excellent to use, and there are sure to be left-overs of such paper in the store closef. Textiles can be used instead df paper if one prefers. Fancy cretonnes, sateens, linens or pieces of silk, etc., can be utilized. Glue the material on the top and bottom of the box as well as about the sides. If the cover is torn or unshapely, cast it aside and invert the box so that the upper part presents an unbroken surfaee that will be decorative when the box is covered. PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF GREAT MEN AND WOMEN William De Morgan’s Dream Which Preceded the Death of His Relatives. BY J. P. GLASS. Psychic annals do not record a great many instances among the great where a certain dream repeated itself before important events, but obtainable rec- ords are highly interesting. Already in this series we have de- scribed Abraham Lincoln's dream of voyaging on a phantom ship, which pre- ceded several great battles of the Civil ‘War and also his assassination. Fully as remarkable were the sleeping experi- ences of Willlam De Morgan, the Brit- ish novelist, who gained a legion of friends in this country by his novels, including “Joseph Vance,” “Alice-for- Short” and several others. Morgan is one of the most re- markable persons in literature, since 2lmost all his life was spent in the making of pottery, at which he was an artist, and he did not begin authorship until he was 67. He was of unusual &urenugg. for his father, Augustus De jorgan, was one of the most eminent mathematicians and logiclans of his day. Augustus De Morgan was deeply in- terested in psychic matters and record- ed some incidents which came to his notice which have been given an impor- tant place in phenomena of this sort. It is significant that during the last two days of his life, William De Morgan, watching at his side, noted that he ap- peared to recognize the members of his family who had preceded him to the grave. These included his mother, his sister and his three children. He greet- ed each of them by name in the reverse BEAUTY CHATS A Diet for Early Spring. For some time, I feel certain, you have been thinking of Spring clothes, buying Spring clothes, and perhaps, if you live in a warm part of the country, even wearing Spring clothes. But have you thought of springtime foods Every onte In a while, around this time of the year, I talk about the old- fashioned grandmother’s Spring tonic of sulphur and molasses to thin the blood and clear the complexion. There is a dandelion tes, also, a bitter concoction brewed at this season, or perhaps a little later if the Spring is long in coming, from the roots of the otherwise agree- able d:ndemm. It ‘tastes so horrible . that I hate to think or write about it. But dandglion salad is quite different! You should eat a big dish of dandelion salad every day, made of the tender, light gzeen inside leaves of the dande- Jion cpvered thickly with boiled dress- ing, which for this tastes better than naise. This is a pungent, deli- cious dish which will thin and purify the blood and clear your skin at the same time. ‘There are also other foods you should be eating now, or very soon—tender little onjons with the outside part re- moved and only the heart boiled and served in créeam sauce. These have little or no odor; fried onions are as beneficial. but much stronger. Aspar- will be coming into the market soon, delicious and good for you, and spinach or some of the numerous warieties of greens we have with us all Some form of such to greenhouses, , or endive, can be obtained quite she:fiy at any time. Some leaves should be eaten every day either with frult or with some of the season’s with green vegetables or even chopped lettuce for a good-looking salad. M. C. A.: The nall that has continued to split for years must be very ridgy and brittle. If you could change the char< acter of it the split would heal. Try rubbing plenty of oil or cream into it, ‘When selecting material to cover these hat trees be careful to see that colors do not rub off. If they do, marks may be left on hat linings. Also if paper is the material it should be smooth. Crepe paper or crepe weaves of cloth are not satisfactory. Tin hoxes lend themselves better to paint than to paper decoration. While it takes a little lenger to paint the boxes and allow for the drying than to cover with material, the advantage is that such surfaces can be washed when solled. This is not a matter of much moment, for new pasteboard boxes can be made at short notice to replace old ones, but it is worth mentioning. Fine hats that are kkept in a closet that is in constant use may be kept immaculate if light-weight textile cov- ers are made to throw over them when they stand on their hat trees. A square of cheesecloth, silk muslin or a soft old silk handkerchief or muffler is just the thing. The shape of specially made hat covers can be round. By festher- stitel hems, a ddinty touch is given even to the most prosaic of covers. ‘When not in use the covers can be slipped inside the hat trees. If such use is intended, the tops of the boxes should be covered separately, so that they can be taken off or on at will, (Copyright, 1929.] order to that in which they had de- parted life. k It was in connection witly death that wililam De Morgan had_Yhe dream | which we are about to describe. It came to him with unfalling regularity | before a death took place in his family. There was nothing remarkable about the dream. It dealt merely with his boyhood home and apparently had no unhfi)py features jn itself. But, as it| invariably was the forerunner of -a be- reavement, he learnéd to dread its ap- pearance, Most remarkable of these premonitory dreams was that preceding the death of his brother Edward, who was then in South Africa. De Morgan dreamed of his former home with the utmost vividness. Not hearing ill tidings immediately, he con- cluded that the dream had no signifi- cance and let it drop from his mind. Weeks later a letter came from South Africa. It told that Edward De Morgan had been killed by a fall from his horse. The accident had come on the same date on which William De Morgan had had his dream. On another occasion the dream was not so distinct. But it is to be assumed that this time Mr. De Morgan did not forget and that it remained to haunt him, After & length of time similar to that which had hrought news of the death of Edward, De Morgan again received sad news from South Africa. The infant son of Edward had died. (Copyright, 1929.) BY EDNA KENT FORBES the proper appetite, your weight of 1052 pounds need: give you no eon- cem.

A discussion of soup or no soup fol- lowed, and that always interests a child. “No soup” was his slogan from then on. He really knew nothing about soup. &h-t child was born without & lik- ing for sweets? Is his liking to be rmitted to frow into a phase of glut- ny that will undermine his health? Instead- of condoning his greediness one should have informed him he was behaving like a greedy little animal, without reason, without control, and should take heed to himself. A t many of the unhappy traits of children have been ned into them in just this way. Some grown- up found the refusal to conform, the declaration of independence, very funny, or interesting, and made much of it. Then the child continued what might have been ended at the start by a word of reproof or correction. Parents often come to school to ask the teacher to excuse the child for this or that little habit. “I wish you wouldn't ask her to read aloud. She has never been able to read aloud, not even in the home.” Many a child can do in school what he cannot do in the home, because of the new assoclations formed in the school. That is one strong reason for sending him to school, and when the parent goes to the school and asks that the child be excused from doing his work he is attempting to bind the child still more firmly with the cords of his bad habit. Make as few excuses for the children as possible. Let them speak for them- selves more and let us speak less. Often our fear for them leads us into making laws for-them that they would never dream of making for themselves. Let them try to free themselves if they can; let them strike out for themselves and form new habits, new associations, new powers. ‘When we say “Please excuse him and let him go” we are letting our fear speak. Give courage a chance and say “Let him go free. Let him shoulder the consequences af his own deeds.” Then will the child grow in power and happiness. (Copyright, 1929.) NANCY PAGE Could a Hat Be an April Fool? BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Lois was looking for a new hat. One which she liked was of visca. She saw it also in tricot. The material was finely woven until it seemed almost like a texture. It fitted the head closfl{\;jlnd seemed intricately woven and inter- woven. The salesperson told her that these hats were popular at Southern resorts. They were made of colored straws and of white shades to wear with light Summer dresses. ‘That hat was her first choice. For her second she looked longingly at one which cost so much that she could Jjust picture Roger’s face should she come home and announce she had purchased it. But it was good looking.

Girl Prefers Career to Humdrum Marriage Where, Husband Has All Advantages, But No Menace to Home Appears. A QUESTIONNAIRE has recently been submitted to college and university girls in an effort to find out their purpose and ambition in life. of 1,700 rexllel that were received only seven girls said wanted to he makers. All of the others aspired to enter the al’ofuslom and to actresses, moving-ploture queens, lawyers, , artists, writers or business women. Many of the girls sald that they wanted homes of their own, but the or , | majority of these preferred to have the sole management, At first blush the returns from this questionnaire may seem discouraging as to the outlook for the future of the race and the home. Those who are pessimistic about the modern girl anyway might well view with alarm what looks like a wholesale stampede of highly educated young women away from their sacred sphere and a repudiation of wifehood and motherhood, which is the ancient and honorable calling of their sex. But let us calm outselves. There is no real cause for panic. These schoolgirls who are going to devote their lives to art or uplifting the world or what not, instead of eakfasts and walking squalling bables with the colic, have falled to take into account the most potent force in the world, and that is Mother Nature, who will presently come along and knock all of their pretty little plans into so many cocked hats. It is all very well for Alicia, with her high brow, to sit in her college dormitory and dream of being a Portla who will argue great cases before the emm Court and for her to shudder as she thinks of being one of the wives before they go to the movies. is all very well for Matilda to decide that she will become a successful business woman with her own tea or specialty shop or a high-priced buyer who goes to Paris twice a year instead of being merely one of omu: 51?; “v‘vg:n:eu hand-me-downs and have to wheedle every cent they get Tt is all very well for Jane, who is an individualist and who has scrapped all of her life with her mother over what she shall wear and where she shall go and what time she shall get back, to make up her mind firmly that as soon as she gets on her feet she will have her own little apartment with her own latch key and that she will never be fool enough to put herself in a positicn where any man can boss her. e Aucu and Matilda and Jane and Mary and Susan and Saily are perfectly sincere when they say that they are going to espouse careers instead of men and that they are going to keep themselves free to live their own lives and that thei{ don't see much cakes and ale in matrimony for women any way you look at it. Then, just about the time Alicla and Matilda and Jane and Susan and Sally get started and are in a way to realize their ambitions along come Tom and Dick and Harry and they forget all about their plans and aspirations. A bungalow with open plumbing and stationary washtubs, with & perambulator in the front hall and & man coming home to dinner, suddenly looks better to them than &nything else on earth and becomes the object of their supreme desire. ‘Why, any little, freckled-faced, carroty-haired man can make a girl change her mind about the desirabllity of marriage and substitute himself for her ambitions. We see it done every day. Look at the women who spend years of hard study and thousands of dollars fitting themselves to follow some career and then scrap the careers at the invitation of some man to come into his kitchen. A girl may never have cared for cooking, but the cook stove becomes her weakness when it is cooking the food for her man and kiddies. 8o nobody need lose any sleep worrying because a lot of schoolgirls have announced their intention to turn their backs upon matrimony and home- making. They will fall in love and get married and have babies just as the)r‘ mothers and their grandmothers did before them, and the only difference will he that they will be a little bit more efficient as wives and mothers and house- keepers because they will be better educated, more progressive and open- minded and will bring a more bualguglu:: u;chnlque to thelr job. "THE thing that I find disquieting in the replies to this questionnaire is that | has been made so unattractive that few girls in their sober senses want to let themselves in for a lifetime of it. Out of the 1,700 girls who were asked what they intended to do only seven were optimistic enough to think that they might get good husbands and be happy though married. The balance did not see anything alluring in the fates of their mothers and their sisters and their aunts. They saw m’ehood as a life sentence to hard Iabor, with no pay envelope on Saturday night and with no thanks or apprecia- tion, and it seemed to them that standing behind a counter or pounding a typewriter was the softer snap of the two. They saw their fathers glum and grouchy around the house, knocking everything their mothers did, and it seemed to them that the only way to keep & man polite and courteous and agreeable was not to accept him. They saw sweethearts flattering, attentive, generous, anxious to give girls a good time, and husbands whose wives had to pry every nickel out of them with a jimmy, who never took their wives to any place of amusement or paid them a compliment, and it seemed to them that marriage was a total loss. Of course, in olden times women had to marry because a husband was their only meal ticket and their only rain check into social life, but now every intelligent, able-bodied young woman can make her own living and go where she pleases. So from being a necessity a husband has merely become a luxury. s 8o if this questionnaire teaches anything, it teaches that if we want the girls of the future to regard marriage as the greatest of all professions we will have to make it more attractive to them.

There is | a great move among the younger and | cleverer actresses to let their hair be itself; that is, if you were born Joan Crawford, with brown locks, you go back to brown and stay there. Which is precisely what that astute young star has done. Producers have a habit of saying “I want you blonde for this role,” or “This girl has Titian hair. Of course, that is a matter of half an hour or so. Have your hair made the requisite shade.” And stars have been in the habit of playing chameleon. Marie Doran said today: “The town's full of blondes. I'm going brunette again. I'm going to be natural and see if I can't get a break on the strength of my merlts. Some one wished ‘this blonde head on me and it's taken all my time to keep up. Anyway, blondes are a drug on the market.” If I mistake me not, there’s a line in Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Gondoliers” which applies to the situation. - Said they, “When every one is somebody, then no one'’s anybody.” And that’s the Hollywood blonde situ- ation in a nutshell. = Four-year-old Douglas Praser Scott cut a few didoes on the set the other déy and his mother stepped forward, led him to one side and proceeded to turn him over her knee. “Wait a minute, mamma,” he cried. “Don't hit hard, because yow'll only have to fix my mascara on all over Hollywood children get all the breaks.

When trains from Baltimore used to cary excursionists to Shepherds Point via Anacostia where they would board the old excursion steamer for Colonial Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Among the chief questions which harass the young mother are those upon the subject of how far she may go in allowing natural penalties of behavior to punish a child. She knows that if she can let the law, which the child is breaking, either social, moral or phy- sical, administer its own penalty, the child will learn a valuable lesson. Most children in conscientious house- holds are too strongly protected against the results of their own misdoing. They have to have bumps and bruises inci- dent to learning how to walk, and put- ting them in contrivances that support them, or <onstantly holding their hands and then making a great fuss and to-do over them when they do fall, is one very good way of preventing their learn- ing how to walk. ‘That is just an incident, of course, and not misbehavior. When the child begins to pull at things on the table, it might be well for the mother to pre- pare the table for just such.pulling. If she puts on it a cloth that will not be | harmed and a book that may tumble against the baby as he pulls it toward | him, baby will learn that there is a real reason why he should not pull | things from the table. He very shortly learns to get about | the natural obstacles in a room because | he has discovered that it hurts to run into them. If he puts his hand on the hot radiator, he discovers that his fin- ger is burnt. These are all mtunfl penalties involving the nature of phy- sical things which the baby can learn without real injury to himself. If the mother, after these mishaps, says, “Fall” or “Bump” in the proper situa- tions, the baby fits a meaning to these words that aceords with the experience he has just been through. Later, when mother says, “No, baby fall,” or “Baby burn himseif,” the words aren't just meaningless sounds to him. There is no intention of encouraging a mother to let her child fall down- stairs in order to discover that he will, just as mother said he would. Instead, going up and down stairs has to be taught by protecting baby .from them until he has learned how to go up and down safely on hands and knees, or by ’mifm‘ down and sliding from step to te) One small lesson in burning a finger on the hot radiator or cn the red light on father's cigar, or a fall due to pull- ing at a heavy chair, or the bump from a misused book, will make mother’s fu- ture negations have meaning. It is better if the mother sits back quietly and lets some of these natural things happen, so long as they are only mildiy and temporarily hurtful, than constant- ly to protect a baby from the conse- quences of misbehavior. We must pro- tect a child from real dangers and we cannot put the responsibility on baby and then blame him when he misbe- haves. “I told him he shouldn't do it!" never excuses the mother, but some painful penalties can be learned best by experience and mother should let experience give the lesson.

Do uj in & pl ances is purposely introduced by ure to second her first law, that of self-preservation. or is fear something which 18 acquired, and which may be relative to superstition?—J. O. Reply. ‘This inquiry offers a welcome oppor- tunity to straighten out a bit of f: peychology. Since we must all use words in a loose conversational way, they are bound to get worn at the edges and won't quite fit into the com- partments that scholars provide for them. Which means no more than that we use the same word for a number of related meanings which the more accu- rate needs of sclence differentiate. Such & word is “fear.” ‘To begin with, it refers to the ple state of startle. A door bangs or a tire explodes and you shudder. That's a built-in mechanism; in at the ear, out at the muscles. Quite as ingrained is the sense of uneasiness when you are near to falling, insecurely supported —=a posture fear. But since we begin to reflect pretty early, our itive fears soon acquire a tincture of thought or tion—something more than a bare sensation—and we should do well to call them dreads. “The burnt child dreads the fire”; it fears with the memory of the former pain. So in the case cited, it is because the plank looks unsafe (it isn't wobbly nor does it feel unsafe) at the greater height that that fear reaches the stage of dread. It is still more obviously so when a person becomes panic-stricken at the edge of a precipice or an open gallery or a high dome. Let there be an iron railing and the sensation goes; that railing is more a moral than an iron support. ‘You get the same sympathetic dread when looking at men working on the girders of tall buildings in dangerous positions. The danger emotion is built up on complex fears and dreads. The blinding flash of lightning and the awful crash of thunder play havoc with our total emotional timidity. Still higher along on the psychologi- cal scale are -the cares, worries, anxie- tles and other fear sentiments. Your child is out late, or you haven't had a letter from a friend for weeks, and you “fear” that something has happened. In faet, you go much farther afield when you transfer fear to any sense of loss, anything that on the whole you prefer not to happen. So you say: “I am afraid it's going to rain,” though there is but a little discomfort at stake; and the depart- ing guest rises to say: “I am afraid I must go now,” though, far from any element of fear, there may actually be a sense of relief on both sides.

(Copyright, 1929.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Psychology of Snob. What is a snob? What psychological traits should a person include in his concept of a snob? Before answering these questions it may be well to take note of the fact that what you think is what, and what you think another person is, depend upon what you are. All psychological appraisals, especially those referring to personalities, are very likely to be col- ored by the appraiser’s own psycholog- ical traits. Many of these the appraiser does not coflsciously realize, much less admit, that he himself possesses. The nouveaux riches are usually called snobs. This is because they have not yet formed the social habits which go along with their new monetary achieve- ments. They “cut” their old acquaint- ances because they are suffering from the fear that they do not deserve the status they have attained. It takes time for a person to make himself at home with sudden wealth. There is no other psychological reason for the popularity of the comic strip “Bringing Up, Father.” No one may reasonably be ex-" pected to mingle on the old basis with acquaintances who may remind him of the status he would like to forget. The snob, then, has a perfect psychological alibi for his snobbishness. There is still another psychological justification for the snob. And that is the feeling of inferiority which, accord- ing to Adler and his admirers, applies in some respect to all human beings, re- gardless of wealth. Every one feels in- ferior in some respect. Now in the case of the nouveaux riches, the usual sort of snobs, there are very few of them who cannot find some one who possesses a little more wealth than they do. In other words, every snob has his superior in his own fleld of achievement. To this, common courtesy demands homage and respect. This servility demands payment in its own terms. If & snob must act in a fawning way toward his superiors, he must compensate for the feeling of in- feriority thus evoked by demanding a certain amount of fawning from his | social inferfors. Thus two mighty human traits make up the snob: Fear and compensation for these traits? inferiority.
