All Sorts of Brooches and Pins BY MARY ‘The passing of the pin is, I think, one of the most worth-while side issucs of present-day fashion tendencies. And » very significant difference between the mode of dressing of teday and that of 20 or 80 years ago is that with the exception of a possible brooch or two BROOCHES OF SEED PEARLS, WITH CARNELIAN AND ONYX FLAT PIN FOR DRESS OR HAT, OF GOLD, BLUE ENAMEL AND ONYX; GOLD PIN FOR SPCRTS FROCK, WITH CUT-OUT INITIALS; BROOCH WITH TINY MIRRORS SET IN RHINESTONES AND PEARLS. i th> woman of today depends on the services of not a single pin in keeping her clothes and accessories in place. In fact the old-time straight tin pin sim- ply isn't to be found in the belongings of some women. It is an accsssory of Straight Talks to W MARSHALL, dressmaking rather than of actual dress. In a recently published volume deal- ing with the love affairs of that old reprobate Henry VIII I came across the interesting bit of information that in the trousseau of Catherine of Ar no less than 12,000 pins were included. Incidentally there were just two petti- coats in this royal trousseau. And that was, of course, before the days of ma- chine-made pins. Nowadays brooches and clasp pins of various sorts are included in the acces- sories of most wardrobes. But they are usually chosen for decorative effect. The sketch gives examples of some of the newest of these. Be prepared for the next fancy dress parly. And when you go away for a Summer holiday don't forget to take something that will provide the hasis for an attractive costume. This week's help for the home dressmaker gives the diagram pattern for 2 Spanish dan- cer’s skirt and shawl drapery. If you would like a copy with skotch of the finished costume and directions for making, please send me a stmped, self- addressed envelope and I will send it to you at once. (Copyright, 1929.) My Neighbor Says: Do not put uncovered bottles of cream or milk in the refrigerator. Milk and cream readily absorb odors when left uncovered. Wash milk boitles in pure water and do rot wip: them with a dish towel. It is beiter to scala bottles in clean water and set them away unwiped fo dry. Potatoes are good with all meats. With fowl they are nicest mashed. Sweet potatoes are most appropriate with roast meat, as also are onions, squash, cucum- bers and asparagus. Carrots, parsnips, greens and cabbage are eaten with boiled meat, and corn, bezts, peas and beans are appro- priate with either boiled or roast- ed meat. Tomatoes are good with every kind of meat, but especially so with roasts. Apple- sauce with roast pork, cranberry sauce with beef, fowl, veal and ham. Currant jelly is most ap- propriate with roast mutton. Pickles are good with roast | meats. omen About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Value of Youth. “If I were 10 years younger,” says many a middle-aged woman, I would drawing twice the salary I receive Youth today has a real mone- value. While we cannot# all be young. we can at least be “youthful”— and that is pretty much the same thing. Older women are sometimes assigned to routine positions of a “blind-alley” nature because they are “too set in their ways.” If they adopt youthful ways and adapt themseives readily to new conditions and contacts they would not. suffer this handicap. To retain physical robustness one must exercise, and so the woman whose bloom of youth has fled will find golf or tennis or any exercise that appeals to her will give her the physical make- up of you'h. Executives fear older women will fatigue easily and the healthy appearance of a well condi- tioned weman will allay that fear. Youth dresses in gay colors, age in | dication of decreased efficiency and a | drab colors, and the business woman past youth must seek a becoming me- dium. Any color or style that is be- comirg is youthful, because beauty is usually associated with youth. One’s mental side has a great deal to | because your business career will be | do with the retention of youth. Youth | i3 usually optimistic, vivacious, hopeful, confident, resourceful and teeming with WHY WE DO energy. One may carry some of these qualities to excess, but the woman who views her youthful years in reirospect knows how to temper them.

This is a common example of the milder form of obsession that is 80 prevelant as not to fall into the class of the abnormal and pathological obses- sions, phohias, ccmpulsions and manias of which kleptomania and pyromania are among the more striking. ‘The pathological is merely the exag- geration of the normal. We all have peculiar impulses which are more or less harmless. Some get the persistent notion that they are going crazy and nothing can possibly stop them, that they are about to kill some one or com- mit suicide, that they have forever dis- graced themselves by & breach of eti- quette. Other illustrations are queer impulses to touch everything you see, to count everything, streets, sign posts, telegraph poles, houses, people you pass, etc. Some have the impulse to ap- proach the door of their house by taking | the first step over the threshold with the right foot. The kleptomaniac is one who has an irresistible impulse to take things that do not belong to him. Usually he spe- cializes on some one object. Some of these have no special value to the klep- tomaniac and not infrequently he is a person of means who could afford to purchase these things but prefers to steal them, or rather can't keep from stealing them. Pyromania is an obsession to to things. by this im- pulse knows he shouldn’t do it, but can’t resist the impulse.

There is no sharp line of demarkation. Many ingenious explanations are of- fered for these queer impulses. The most popular one is that the abnormal impulsions are due to some repressed wish or intense fear or are the result of poor emotional adjustment, due to some unfortunate experience, presum- ably in early childhood, and now for- gotten.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Psychological Crowd. ‘There are a number of psychologists who insist that certain mufa of peo- f‘e constitute what they call “psycho- logical crowds.” Others, of course, say there tsn’t such a thing as a psycho- logical crowd. They take the position that if you account for individual psy- choloz{ crowd psychology will take care of itself, The p t of this article is merely to point out what the exponents of crowd psychology mean by the term “psychological crowd” and what they think it is worth. The fundamental assumption is this: Under certain conditions a whole rou of people will act like one individual. In other words, 50 or 100 or 10,000 per- sons will, if the proper mental atmos- phere be created, begin to act as if the entire group were suddenly transformed into one powerful individual. Such psychological crowds are pos- sessed of a “group mind, | something different in character from the individual minds of any of its mem- bers before the so-called psychological crowd was formed. ‘When it comes to the question of the character of the mind of a psychological crowd, there is a difTerence of opinion. Some noted psychologists claim that the group mind is superior to that of any individual mind in the group. And so| they contend that public opinion is far more valuable than any individual | opinion could possibly be. | On the other hand, equally promi-, nent psychologists contend that the| @roun mind is inferior to that of even | the least intelligent individual mind in| the group. They say that the psycho-| 1 logical erowd represcnts a mental con- . dition in which everv one in it has de-| .eided to gn insane togethor. Naturallv, these psycho'og'sts do not put much faith in public opinion. | Then there are other psychologists who take a middle position. They claim that the mind of the psychological crowd represents the least common de- nominator of the individual minds of the group. ; The next time you find yourself in a psycholegical crowd snap out of it and be yourself for a few minutes. Then ob- serve the people about you—what they leugh at, what they jeer at, what they cheer for, what they get angry at, or what they weep over. Then decide. if you eans how much intelligence the crowd has. (Copyright, 1520.) Home in Geod Taste BY SARA HILAND, Could you think of an arrangement for a nursery more ideal than that shown in the accompanying illustration? The window is a bit out of the ordinary in shape and the seat beneath it has been made low enough to allow a child to stand on it without being in danger of falling out of the window. Another good feature is that the win- dow seat is wide enough to provide a | resting place for an adult, for every | | | | nursery or playroom should have space of this kind. The ends of the window seat have been made into cabinets for books or toys, or both, and a_ further note of attractiveness. would be given by the addition of a lamp and shade on top of each cabinet. A “bunny” or kitten lamp with gingham shade would be ‘most appropriate for this type of room, and rose ®r yellow the most pleasing tones to select for effect and usefulness. The curtains for this window are of unbleached cotton trimmed with bands of figured chintz and the win- dow seat is covered with denim in a color to match the predominating shade in the trimming.

Last Sunday morning a middle-aged man walked into & news store and asked the dealer if he had the So-and- 50 Gazette, The paper was published in a small town in the Southwest. “No, sir,” replied the dealer, “I don't carry it.” He might have added that he had never heard of the paper, but he was too wise for that. “What!” said the stranger, in sur- prise, “You don’t mean to tell me you don't sell it?” Dejectedly he left the store, wonder- ing that in a city like Washington there was no demand for news from the small town from which he came. Newsdealers here do a tremendous business in out-of-town papers. Cos- mopolitan Washington represents ail | sections of the country. This does not mean that the Washingtonian by adop- tion does not read his local newspaper. He does. But if he has come from a distant city, he still has a burning in- terest in the affairs of the old home town. He likes to read that Henry Sloss, the popular garage man, mar- ried Mamie Dinkleberger. He may not have been home for 10 years, but he is highly pleased to read that a new busi- ness glock is being erected on the cor- ner of Main street and Prairie avenue. There is something reminiscent of boyhood. The names are familiar. | Streets have a significance. He recalls that it was in Maple street that he punched the town bully once, and the very name, Oak street, revives memories of a certain captj- vating little bru- nette and moons and things. He reads that Opie Flick, the cop, has passed away. He remem- bers when Opie used .to chase the kids and his hatred turns to sympathy. He reads of the arrivals at the Duncan House. This recalls the desolate, smoke-laden foyer of what was once the town's leading hostelry. The new railroad bridge over the river brings back those days when he and the gang went swimming down by Foster's mill. ‘That’s why he likes the old home pa- per. No wonder he is disappointed when he is umhli w‘ p;m:hln one. % Hundreds who drove around Hains Point last Sunday stop] to gaze upon a palatial yacht at anchor, It may still be there for all we know.

JOHN MUNCE, JR. Having discussed the initial bids of | * first and second hands, as well as the original bids by third hand, we now come to the fourth hand original bids. It is considered unwise to put down any hard and fast rules for this bid, but after three passes fourth hand often finds himself with a combination of cards calling for a bid. When the three other players have shown weakness, fourth hand is likely to have a no trump of major declaration, and here is where his most difficult question arises, name- ly: Will he make a good score and go game, or will he by opening the bid- ding enable his adversaries to bid ana thereby go game themselves. It is quite hard to give up promising cards, but how much better to pass and get a new deal than to start bidding that will be advantageous to your ad- versarles. The following is an example of a hand which fourth hand after three passes should make an original bid of one no trump: gnd-s-l«m king. T-spot. earts—King. queen, 6-5pot. amonds—Act, Jack. 3-spot. lubs—Ace, ateen, §-spot and 6-spot. - While the partner of this bidder has passed, it does not necessarily mean that he has no high cards in his hand, and this holding, with very little help from a parther, would be able to go game at no trumps.’ Another example of a hand which should not be passed if held by fourth hand, after three passes, but on which he should bid one heart, is as follows: Spades—King, jack. t. Ace. king. aueen, 9-spot and 7-spot. Diamonds—Ace, 10-spot, 5-spot. Clubs—King. 5-spot. Although this hand is bid after the | partner has passed, it is too strong a hand to pass, due to the fact that if the cpponents finally get the bid the hand will in all probability prevent them from going game. An example of a hand which looks very pretty, but which lacks the neces- sary strength to bid fourth hand after three passes, is the following: With the passing of a dependable partner there is no bid that this hand should make, as it would be impossible to go game or keep the opponents from going game. By opening up the bid- ding, when you hold a weak hand, you give your opponents a wonderful oppor- tunity. All beginers with average hands, or little better than average, should ask themselves if they can go game with what help they may get from a pass- ing partner; or if they can keep their adversaries from going game any suit, they may bid. If not, a pass is not only conservative, but sound. Any bid made after an original bid is known es a later bid, and before | taking up later bids it is necessary that | we cover the subject of doubles very thoroughly, due to the fact that very often second hand instead of naming & suit or no trump after a bid by dealer will double dealer’s bid.

Telephones 254 and 255 The telephone is one of the reasons why our Bond Bread sales have been growing so fast. The number of people who order by tele- phone has increased tremendously, and in our store we were far-sighted enough to make capital out of this. When a housewife telephones and says she wants a certain brand of peaches, or toma- toes, or salt, or bread —believe me, she gets that brand, and never any cther. And when the housewife doesn’t mention a particular brand, we send her the very best we have in the store. She may never have used it before, but she can not say that we sent her something that wasn’t good enough. As a general rule in our place we fill all bread orders with Bond Bread unless some other brand is named. That’s been our rule for a long time, and we have yet to receive our first complaint. Not all housewives buy Bond Bread, but we’ve noticed thatthose who happen to getit once, usually order it by name from then on. : JOHN BRAYSHAW . {Signed) : After all— there is no bread like ~ ASE=SANBOR 7/ Seal Brand Tea is of the deine bigh qualion Bond
