Often it is quite possible to go through the Summer wearing the hats we have worn in the Spring, but this season most women, I think, will find it neces- sary to restock their hat boxes with hats specially bought for Summer. Even the lightest of the close little ear- covering hats that most women chose for early Spring are burdensome on a really warm Spring day. And though they cover our ears and neck they give absolutely no shade for the eyes. Recently there has been a demand in slmost every millinery store for hats that are not so closely fitted over the emm angd that shade the eyes a little, Less tban an hour's time is needed to make @ pair of the new French drawers of the sort that little girls now wear for warm yeather, so if you have a little girl I amy sure you will want & copy of this wesk's circular giving a diagram pattern fos these little under- garments and a sketgh and directions kchnpped mint leaves, either fresh or few of them will have the price to pay the sexton in the end.

My Neighbor Says: To remove the pulp from oranges pare the oranges with a sharp knife, removing every par- ticle of the thin inside membrane with the peel. Hold the orange over a plate so that the juice that drops may be saved. Insert the point of the knife at the stem end, close to the membrane that divides the sections. Then care- fully separate the section of orange from the membrane on its other side; remove the whole orange section, complete in shape, and entirely free from mem- brane. Repeat until all of the sections are removed. Have a wire guard put over the lower part of your screen door to protect it. The greatest wear comes on the lower screening of the door. It is & wise plan to use a sharp knife rather than scissors when cutting flowers, because scissors have a tendency to squeeze the stems so that they take up less ‘water than they should.

Mary Watkins sed, and I sed, Not it they was too far out and you dident have a rope anyways, you couldent, and she sed, Well anyways dancing makes you graceful, and what does swimming make you? It makes you get water in your ears, thats all, she sed. I never saw a swimmer look graceful, all I ever saw them look was splashy, she sed. Well anybody that cant look graceful naturelly, dont deserve to look graceful, sed. And if a boat ever sank with you on it, you'd never keep on top of the water by just looking graceful be- cause for the simple reason why be- cause you'd be too bizzy sinking, I sed.

Fletcher’s signature Children Cry for BY JOSEFH “Isms and Ologies.” I am a regular reader of your articles | ou_for your statement of “Be- | n a recent issue. Wil you not at an early date give an equally suceinct exposition of “'Psychology,” as today accept- ed by the “lsts"? Reply. This letter, written by a man who has thought clearly, also says that what we are all interested in is truth, and | we shouldn’t permit any system, any “ism” like “behaviorism” nor any “ology” like Freudian psychology or Freudology, to which we incline, to color | our views of the facts as they are. That's rather a complicated matter to discuss in simple fashion. But if we | will all put on our thinking caps for a moment we many get the gist of it; and then we can take them off and play with our minds as we like. It's quite true that any “science” is one body of truth without “isms” or “ologies.” Per- | haps all true religion is one also; Buddhism and _Mohammedism and Catholicism and Protestantism are dif- ferent formulations of the form and | content of religious systems. That isn't the case with chl‘mlerXE or physics; it doesn’t divide into “isms. But psychology is not so rigid and pre- cise a science as physics or chemistry and so makes possible different ways of formulating the facts of the mental life; and if you must have them, such sys- tems become “isms.” Yet not in the | same sense as the religious “isms.” Psychology is one, and would be bet- ter off without “isms”; but if one set of psychologists sees the range of facts in one way, if they select from the range what seems to them important and on that selection erect the pattern of the whole; and another selects and interprets differently, there is some pur- pose served in giving a name to such selections and the resulting interpre- tation. That's all that an “ism” means. When dealing with so complicated an array of data as those of the mental life facts imply an interpretation; you cannot help it. When we dig up an ancient statue with arms or legs or head gone we call it a torso. But we can't help adding in imagination the missing parts and making a complete figure of it. Our knowledge of the mental life is a torso; and one sct of psychologists favors one restoration and another another. And each gen finding a ditferent torso makes a dif- ferent restoration and calls the whole their “ism” or system of psychology. Today we know so much more psychology, both as fact and as inter- pretation, that we should be able to do a better bit of restoration, one which most of us should be able to accept as the real figure of the human mind. So long as human interests differ, however, the relations between the facts—the torso and the restora- tion—the interpretation of * will be shaped accordingly. Agreement will be partial only. Heredity and en- vironment offer a good illustration: the facts are fairly well admitted. But on them each psychologist builds his in- ter{:;uuon, makes his restoration of the truth. All this makes a pretty tough bit of thinking. But it is so because nature STAR, WASHINGTON, KEEPING MENTALLY FIT D. C., THURSDAY, JASTROW. has made things so.

Obsessions are dominating ideas, usu- ally morbid in character. They tend to stay with you, despite all attempts to banish them from your thoughts, and since they are dominant among | your thoughts, they dominate your be- | havior. Obsessions tend at times to | become fixed in the unconscious, there- by giving rise to unconscious activities for which the actor himself cannot account. There are two general classes of | obsesslons—obsessive fears and obsessive | doubts. Both of these types vary, of course, in degree from mild annoyance | to actual torture. When they assume the torture stage and stay fixed, the individual is headed toward an insti- tutlon for the mentally sick. But| since the line between mental health and mental sickness cannot be drawn strictly, the possession of an obsession is not necessarily an indication of in- sanity. The fact is that obsessions are | very common. You might go so far| as to say that everybody has some ob- session, mild or severe, temporary or fixed. ‘The obsessive fears are known among psychologists as phobias. One may have a phobia for almost any object—teeth, | eyes, hair, blood, dirt, germs of all kinds, darkness, fire, cats, open places, closed places, ete. Of those mentioned the fear of dirt or mysophobia is one of the most com- mon.

And that rich, utterly satisfying flavor which means real mayonnaise, they know can only be blended from the very choicest of ingredients.
