The new jackets for daytime wear are made to be buttoned securely at a low front closing or to hang free and straight—but many women still cling to the old trick of holding these jackets closed in the way that was necessal with the old type of wrap-around wrap. Then there are women who have a sure knack of adopting the new way of wearing clothes so that even in last year’s dresses and wraps and hats—that have undergone only a very little altera- tion—they can look entirely up to date. They are so quick to sense and adopt the new way of wearing clothes. The new daytime jackets as I said are to be worn either securely buttoned or hanging straight and free. Many of them are made without buttons or fastening of any sort. The new cardi- gans are many of them made in this way. They hang straight down from the shoulders to a low hipline accentuat- ing the slender line of the dress Fancy stitches that any one can make linen frocks for Summer.

Sabrina, the college'’s famed 350-pound “goddess” statue, was to grace the occasion. i Time for the dinner came'and Sa- brina was missing. Members of the class of '93 were in an uproar. Am- herst students swore by the virgin, who, according to tradition, was thrown into the river Severn, transformed into a Tiver nymph, and thereafter gave aid to distressed maidens. But Sabrina was not to be found. For at the time she was the guest of honor at the '94 class dinner. Later the ruldmt of the class of '94 helped ik Babrina to & barn at Chesterfield and ‘hide her under the floor, safe from Calviry Coolidge's class. ‘The president of the class of '94 was Harlan Fiske Stone, junior justice of the United States Supreme Court. Probably Coolidge, when he became Presjdent, of the United States, recalled this’ incident. He had a reputation of never forgetting & good man. At any rate, Stone was and to Washington made Anorneh: occupying last chair on the right at the long desk- like bench in the dimly lighted court ghamber. Justice Stone is easy to pick out from tis eight associates. The broad shoul- ders, breadth of forehead and breadth of jaw identify him. It is not hard to believe that he was one of the best ever to play foot ball at Am- t. Justice Stone came intg the limelight yecently when the rumor was passed around Washington that President Hoo- ver would ask him to quit the Supreme Court and t the chairmanship of the Law Enforcement Commission. Despite the fact that the junior jus- tice has denied being asked by the President or ever considering the task, the rumor persists. It persists mainly because between the two there is & fast friendship. Justice Stone was in the Hoover fam- 1ly circle the night Hoover was nomi- nated for the presidency at Kansas City. He fished with President-elect Hoover off Florida during the pre-inauguration wvacation. He visited the executive offices at the ‘White House for a friendly chat with Hoover on the day he became President. And, finally, he was among the first msked to join the medicine ball agere- gation that exercises back of the White House at 7 am. Justice Stone was born 57 years in Chesterfield, N. H. At Amherst he studied science. His nickname there He was graduated in law at Columbia in 1898, became a professor there, then Joined & law firm and later returned to Columbia as dean of the law school in 1910. In the first four years of his service in the Supreme Court he wrote 108 opinions. Every legal question is of deep interest to him. He has no spe- clalty. ‘Those who know him say a broad }.mdtfrsta.ndlng of humanity tempers his ustice. ‘The disposition of the President and Mrs. Hoover to avoid ceremony as much as possible is appealing tremendously to ‘Washington officialdom, so accustomed 1s it to an atmosphere of rigid formality.

There is an amusing story told of a group who attended one of the earliest of these informal White House dinners, and sat around afterward walting for their hosts to make the first move to- ward breaking up the party.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Detective Stories. Detective stories occupy a large space on the American reading shelf today. This means that they satisfy, more or less completely, & psychological hunger growing within the minds of those who read them. Our ‘question now is, what are the banes and blessings, if any, in the reading of this sort of literature? Modern living, desa)l'g 1ts obvious ad- vantages, must be drab, commonplace and depressing to lots of people. Rou- tine tends to suppress individuality, to feed a natural tendency toward a feel- ing of inferfority. A good detective story helps the situ- ation. The reader identifies himself with the hero of the story. For the time being, at least, he asserts his ini- tiative and individuality, although it be only a surrogate (substitute) fashion. In his imagination the reader amounts to something, is strong, alert, daring, resourceful. On the other hand, detective stories as a steady mental diet are sure to lead to intellectual malnutrition. The reader gets the habit of confusing real- ity with unreality. No one really sees fully the world and its complicated rela- tions in their true proportions. Detective stories are day-dreams in print. Day-dreaming, valuable as it is in helping to turn bewildering notions into wholesome channels of substan- tiality, has its limits. One may easily go S0 far as to live almost entirely in the unreal world of imagination. The results are anything but bene- ficial. False values begin to edge their way into every situation, coloring the reader’s attitudes toward every real sit- uation, big and little. The feelings of inferiority are likely to be increased; maginary solutions are likely to stifle, if not replace, every effort to seek real causes for things as they are.

Everyday Law Cases May Acknowledgment Be taken Over the Telephone? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Mr. and Mrs. Webster consented to mortgage their property to Henry Stone for the reglyment of a debt of $1,000. ‘When the mortgage was prepared by Stone’s attorney, it was brought to Mr. and Mrs. Webster for signature. N 3. Webster was unable at the time to pre- sent herself before a notary public to acknowledge the instrument. The mort- gage was accordingly taken by Stone and Webster to a notary, who called Mrs. Webster and took the affidavit over the telephone. The mortgage fell due and was not paid and Stone instituted foreclosure proceedings. Mrs. Webster brought suit to restrain the proceedings, alleging that the acknowledgment, having been made by telephone, was invalid and that the mortgage therefore was vold. ‘The court sustained Mrs. Webster's contention and declared the mortgage void, stating: “The majority of the cases which have passed upon the point involved in this matter hold that where the per- sonal appearance of a party before an officer is a requirement of the statute an acknowledgment cannot be taken over the telephone.” .

The failure in may take the mild form of & forth the cOrrect answer or at complete loss of speech.—L. L. Reply. Everybody knows that children nat- urally nervous are likely to develop fur- ther troubles during adolescence; that period, always a strain, upsets them more. The two closely connected signs of such nervousness are motor spasms, twitches, tics, impediments and shyness or :nhibmom. The two combine vari- ously. In the aggressive child the motor ex- pressional symptoms dominate—typical- ly, fidgets. In early childhood the child won't take time to eat, hasn't the pa- tience to play, can't sit still, tires of new toys quickly, doesn’t know what to do with himself, doesn't do well at studies because he hasn't the patience. Gra- ually and irregularly control is acquired, never so easlly, never so completely, as in the more normal, less agitated, non- nervous child. ~Adolescence induces a new order of disquiet. He fiddles and dawdles, interupts, re- bels, objects to routine, gets fussy with his food, declining to join in group sports, sulks, sasses, is unruly generally. In contrast, the recessive child shows somewhat opposite symptoms; but in earlier stages these tics or spasms ap- pear in both, yet dominate in the ag- ive type. Such habit-spasms af- lect the smaller muscles and take the form of twitching, facial contortions, moving the jaw from side to side, suck- ing the lips, wrinkling the forehead, etc. ‘With the approach of adolescence the shy symptoms dominate and embarrass motor expression; hence stuttering, con- fusion, inability to command speech. ‘The treatment of these two types of adolescent nervousness can only in part be the same; greater poise is the com- mon goal. But what interferes with ise is not the same impediment. Par- icularly must the shy, recessive, stam- mering child be taken in hand more in- dividually and larger concession made to his handicap. The aggressively rest- less adolescent is at home in the group; the group routine may have the re- straining influence he needs for he is :&t‘ to be more unruly alone. For the id child, the m“& sets off his handicap. It happens that a good part of school work is done in groups, and facing the group is often the trying part of the performance. Treatment must follow these clues. Don't give the recessive child too much social strain; get him used to smaller, informal groups first. Don't penalize shyness by school marks intended for ignorance or neglect.

I am daily opening letters asking me if baby should be nursed through the second Summer. No, he should not be. This is emphatic and means both the big, healthy child and the small, weak child. Second Summer nursing for the child old enough to be weaned in the Spring is taboo for two very good reasons. The nourishment of mother's milk is poor after the ninth month, sometimes much earlier. And from the psychological standpoint, nursing the baby after the first year simply prevents his develop- ing into the self rellant, mother-free individual which he must become. we continue a decidedly infantile habit like nursing and prolong it into the second year, the baby is kept an infant when he should be definitely out of the infant stage. ‘We may reiterate this warning over and over as we do, being persistent, but some mothers will not heed it. They can’t see why. They do not see helated causes and effects. They do not un- derstand that if the baby is nursed past the first year (quite aside from his g:or nutrition), when deprived of this bit, he rebels and clings to or begins some other infantile habit. He refuses to feed himself and demands to be fed at each meal. He may begin to suck his thumb. The mother cannot under- stand these nor see any relation between them and the fact that he was nursed for so long. The psychologist sees & very clear relation, because he sees this happen over and over again in the child who has been nursed too long. His development is checked and he “compensates” for the loss of one in- fantile habit by developing another. So let it be quite clear in our minds that we do the baby a double injury when we continue to nurse him through the second Summer. We deprive him of correct nourishment, for he is now at the age when he should be getting & varied diet and feeding himself at his mealtimes. He should be drinking his milk from a cup and be guite sepa- rated from any reliance on his mother for any of his nourishment. dangers of weaning in June are non-existent, providing the mother takes proper care of milk, bottles and nipples, or cups (we hope it will be cups), and does not throw all sanity to the winds, but is just as careful of the child’s second Summer diet as she was of it during the Winter months. Fear of the second Summer grew out of former lack of knowledge as to how to feed a baby and how to take care of milk and food during hot weather. With that knowledge in hand, we need no longer fear it any more than we fear any past bugaboos that we have dispelled by knowledge. ‘THE PAPER INSERTS IN EACH PACKAGE CONTAIN A SURFRISE FOR THE KIDDIES Bridge Talks BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, Jr. Continuing the discussion of the doubling of a one-suit bid, informator- ily, when third or fourth hand doubles one of a suit bid informatorily, they should have at least six high cards with which they are likely to take tricks. Third hand’s double of a second hand's bid, after dealer passes initlally, is a less favorable position for an in- formatory double than second hand. While probably not having a trickless hand, certainly dealer did not have a hand containing sufficient strength to bid, therefore third hand cannot ex- pect normal assistance from the dealer. and it is not probable that third hand will have strength enough to produce satisfactory results alone. . ‘The most unfavorable position for an informatory double is fourth hand, after dealer bids, and second and third hands pass because fourth hand 1S sitting on the bidder’s right, and generally spoken of in a bridge game as “under the bid- ding,” and many high cards, kings for instance, are apt to be losers when held on_the right of the initial bidder. There are many hands which look very pretty, but are just short of doub- ling strength, For example, dealer bids one club, and second hand holds: Spades, aueen and 7-spot. Hearts, king, 9-spot, 7-spot and S-spot. Diamonds. ace. aueen 10-spot. Clubs, 8-spot, 6-spot, 4-spot and 3-spot. As this hand does not contain the re- quired five high cards, you cannot dou- ble, you have no suit you could bid, and as you have only two spades, which would not be help for your partner should he bid spades, you would pass. This is a splendid example of a hand gm. is just a little too weak for a dou- e. Another example, dealer has bid one club and second hand holds the fol- lowing: Spades, a Hearts, k Diamonds, Jack, Clubs, 7-spot and 5-spot. Looking at this carefully you will see there are two strong four-card major suits, which makes this hand strong enough to double, although you haven't diamonds stopped. As an example of a double that would meet the approval of the most exacting, dealer has bid one club and second hand contains the following cards: Spades, ace. 10-spot, 7-spot and_ S-spot. Hearts, king, jack, 5-spot and 3-spot. Diamonds, ace, aueen and 6-spot. Clubs, 4-5pot and 3-spot. Looking at this hand you will see that you have the required five high cards, or a stopper in each of the three undoubled suits, and each major suit contains four cards. To repeat for emphasis, the standard informatory double of a suit bid tells your partner that you are weak in that suit and strong in the other three suits and asks him to state his preference.

This remark came after the decline of Sheri- dan’s fortunes, and he burst into tears| upon hearing of Byron's praise. He had, indeed, a great deal to regret, for much of his life had been spent in| dissipation, hoaxing and idle jest. 1 He was famous for eluding creditors. “Pay your bills, sir?” he once asked. “What a shameful waste of money!” A single, comparatively unimportant instance is illustrative of his attitude in larger matters.

I have been using the best' of face powders and also a good tissue and cleansing cream. I seldom use soap and water. After I powder my face my skin shows its dryness most. I am 26 years old. I think the powder causes the dryness. What kind should I use? | RED HEAD. Answer—Powder is defined in the flnfichs of dry substance. As dryness & characteristic of a substance when it is in powder form, I do not think| you can find a face powder that is not | dry. There are, however, some heavy | grades of powder, called cold cream | powder, that are not so dry as other types. ~I feel sure, however, that a change to another type would not help you. You must correct the dryness of your skin and use the right powder base; then any good brand of powder will be satisfactory. H Excessive dryness is sometimes due to lack of general physical fitness. The underweight, nervous type of girl often has a dry skin. Perhaps you do not eat enough fats. If you do not know how to eat correctly, have a doctor’s ad- vice. At bedtime remove your make-up with the cleansing cream, then wash your face with warm water and pure castile soap; rinse off all the soap care- fully in clear, warm water, then bathe your face in cold water for a few min- utes, dry and rub in a little of your tissue cream. Leave the cream on about an hour and then wipe off the unabsorbed por- tion. If you do not wash your face daily, I think {ou will find that your pores will continue to enlarge. The face powder settles in the pores and is not entirely removed by the cleansing cream, 8o that it is very important to cleanse the pores well before applying ;‘our tissue cream or an astringent. ‘here are astringents in cream form that would be suitable for you o use at night. Use it also as a powder base. Of course, never put a fresh applica- tion of powder over an old one. Always cleanse your skin before using powder, then apply your creamy base, wipe off the excess and dust on the powder. LOIS LEEDS. Incomplete Address. Mrs. J.

Dining with Lord Thurlow, his hints failed to procure a second bottle of ex- cellent Constantia from the Cape o' Good Hope. “Ah,” murmured Sheridan to hi neighbor, “please pass that decanter; must return to Madeira, as I see I can not double the Cape.” As son of an actor, Thomas Sheridan the dramatist, had difficulty gainins election to the famous Brooke's Clut but finally did.
