Cottons May Be Fashion’s Best BY MARY MARSHALL. It is & sign of youthfulness in dress this season to choose cotton. There are conservative older women who will not be convinced that & gingham dress can ever be as admirable as one of silk, or that if you can afford a coat of silk or fine wool there is ever any reason why THIS SPORTS JACKET, OF QUILTED CALICO IN TONES OF ORANGE, BROWN AND GREEN, IS WORN WITH A BEIGE CREPE SILK DRESS AND A BEIGE STRAW HAT. u should wear one of pique or calico. ut the smarter young woman and the older woman whose taste in clothes has not become hidebound know .that cot- tons are frequently smarter than wool- ens or silks. For the most part, of course, cottons are reserved for resort and sports wear. BEAUTY CHATS Tailored Clothes. We should be thankful that tailored suits are once more in fashion, for there is nothing more becoming to the average woman than a plain coat and skirt and blouse. This year the French have turned their attention to tweed, so the material which has always been good looking, but never exciting, has come forth in every 1“ or even pastel shade, in weaves as loose as a knitted shawl, in the most amusing and fan- tastic designs, and still, with the soft- ness of a rich silk. I saw one tweed sult made in vivid yellow, flecked with scarlet, bright blue, and emerald green —it sounds mad but it was the smart- est suit I'd seen in many months. And one in silvery gray, with a broad pat- tern in paler gray, so it had a sheen to it, like damask. With a well tailored suit and a simple felt hat, a woman is properly dressed up for the day. Tweed goes everywhere now, for sports, for travel- ing, for town wear, for tea parties. And the simple suit can go anywhere, too— in satin or some of the new, heavy silks; it can be worn to everything but @ formal evening party. This is a plea for the suit—if you ‘WoITy over your appearance, if you are Cottons and linens have practical dis- advantages for wear in town. For wear with sleeveless Summer dresses there are quilted jackets of fig- ured calico or pique that have some- what more substancc than a single thickness of cotton material. There are neck scarfs of figured batiste, stitched cotton-hats of the collapsible sort that are included in the Summer wardrobes of almost all well dressed women, and even handbags and shoes are made of the more substantial cotton materials. Many of the cotton materials used are quite as expensive as those of silk or fine wool, but for the woman who must dress on a limited dress budget there is much to be said in favor of the season's fashion for cottons. Ginghams, calicos, piques and batis' - are easier for the home dressmaker to manage! than silks, and the fact that they may be washed and ironed at home will save coneiderably in the upkeep cost before the Summer is over. One of the most attractive of the sea- son's scarfs is made from three 12-inch squares of crepe de chine. If you would like to know how to make this and an- other charming scarf made from two oblong pieces of silk, please send me your stamped, self-addressed envelope and I will gladly forward it to you at once (Copyright, 1929 A key word appears at the head of each group.

But todsy youth is in the saddle as well as in tevolt. The cult of youth is all the vogue, in dress and manner and be- havior. The call of youth is heard and answered by those for whom it carries a long-distance toll. Growing old has become so unfashionable that few have the courage to undertake it; all are bent on growing old gracefully, at least. Inevitably, psychology has & say on the matter, and it would have been well if that comprehensive guide to right living had been consulted in the first place. Psychol has given new slants to the age-old question—“How old are you?” What you tell the cen- sus-taker is only how many years you have lived. Even your children in school know this isn't the essential mat- ter. They are tested for their mental age, which tells them while they are| growing whether they have minds above | or below par and how much. More recently we are emotional age for young and old alike. You may find out that you are still somewhat childish despite being adult, and that may not be the end of the scale that interests you. ‘You can take popular combined with scientific tests and be fold that you are as old as is the lens in your eyes, or as old as your arteries, or as old as you feel, or as old as you look. We all dis- like to show our age, and half the adult population doesn’t like to tell it. Sift- ing it all through the psychological strainer, we come to the conclusion that you are as old as your interests, and that the way to stay young is to retain the power to acquire new inter- | ests.

CRAIG. June 12, 1865.—There are now in Washington a considerable number of persons from the South who were well known habitues of the Federal metrop- olis before the war. Most of them are of the class that resisted secession with great earnestness before it was precipi- tated upon the States in which they live, by their more active opponents. They have come here generally in the hope of being sble to influence the Federal Government's policy of recon- struction. These persons are being advised by their friends in Washington to ac- quiesce at once in the new order and help to sustain it. The reorganization of the governments of the Southern States, which has been made necessary the results of the war, must neces- sarily be intrusted exclusively to men ho played no active parts in the recent rebellion, it is pointed out by the authorities, and to men, who, besides being originally against the rebellion, have in no manner given the counte- nance of their willing support to it. It is held, furthermore, by the au- thorities here that the men to whom the reorganization of the governments of the Southern States is intrusted must be men who will steadily resist any efforts of persons who have been active secessionists again to “gain in- fluence over the Southern popular mind.” With this latter class firmly kept out of power for the time being, and with the peaceful and successful initiation of the systega of free labor throughout the South, it is believed | the Southern m-o;)lp may be intrusted | citizenship as those rights are enjoyed by the people of the Middle States. With very few exceptions, the South- erners who have come to Washington since the end of the war seem to recognize the importance and propriety of acquiescence in the new conditions. Most of them seem anxious to accept the results of the war in good faith. ‘This morning, when the trial of the persons charged with conspiracy in con- nection with the assassination of Presi- dent Lincoln was resumed here, Mrs. Surratt, as usual, came in leaning on the arm of an attendant and apparent- ly almost prostrated.

In the furnishing of a boys’ room, plenty of space for books and writ- ing materials should be provided. The ordinary style of desk ‘is being looked upon with scorn by the lad of today who has taken a liking to those pieces designed in the modern style. In the illustration is shown a desk and pare of a book shelf, strictly mod- ern, but especially appealing to the boy who would do away with all attempts at “frills and fussiness” in his room. In this desk are found drawer space, cubby-holes and two cupboards. The center drawer is wide enough to allow knee space, so that a chalr may be drawn up to the desk, and the top of the drawer supplies sufficient room for writing purposes. A lamp might be placed at the top of the left section and a small globe at_the right. The desk and shelves could be fin- ished in waxed maple or painted in two tones in real modern style. Black (dull) with gold, silver or Chinese red edges, knobs and interiors would be a scheme in keeping with these pleces. (Copyright, 1920.) e I Everyone is Using Tintex COLOR REMOVER ...

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif., June 12—Clara Bow is still the most popular girl in films, according to the latest survey. ‘This gives the red-hot lady prece- dence over other favorites in the colony in the order named: Clara Bow, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Vilma Banky, Nancy Carroll, Mary Pickford, Dolores Del Rio, Janet Gaynor and Colleen Moore. ‘The last-named had 2,000-odd votes, as against some 18,000 of Clara’s.

As for Mocquard, the tall, bony, jesting provincial, whose bumpy fore- head, long nose, thin lips and sparkling black eyes gave his whole appearance a humorous twist, he was undaunted.. He had staked his life and fortunes on this adventure, and, like a good gambler, he was contept to abide by the result. He joked sessimmily, making fun of iire anti-Bonapartists. Gradually his associates relaxed and smiled. An air of naturalness began to prevail. s Jean Francois Constant of Bordeaux started life as a lawyer, but gave up & legal career because of a weak throat.

Perhaps this was why, when Mocquard lost a minor political office under the restored monarchy of Louis XVIII, he tuined to the Bonapartists, deciding to recoup his fortunes at the shoulder of Charles Bonaparte. By incessant thought and labor he made himself chief of the private cab- inet under the republic. He was one of the chief plotters of the coup d'etat of December 1, 1851. 1In short, he did as much as any one to create Na- poleon III. But he was content to retain his old post under the empire. Napoleon consulted him constantly. He attended to all the imperial corre- spondence, executed all "confidential missions, held secret interviews with foreign envoys, and even scolded and pacified the Emperor's troublesome mistresses.

Science tries to discover the laws of nature. Psychology, as a branch of sci- ence, is interested in. knowing what laws, if any, the human mind obeys when it masters new material—i.e., how a human mind works when its possessor learns. The first law is called the law of “trial and error,” or sometimes the law of “trial and suecess.” This is the foundation ef all the laws of learning. All living animals, including human be- ings, obey it. Briefly, this law means ted attempts to master in the procedure are gradually elimi- nated, so that the being (animal or human) performs the task directly without loss of time, effort or efficiency. ‘The law of trial and error is basic. ‘This means that all other laws of learn- ing are-merely modifications of it. ‘The most important of the minor laws of learning is the so-called law of “conditioned response.” This law sim- ply means that it is possible to add a new habit to one that is already estab- lished. It really should be called a law of assoclation, for a conditioned re- sponse is nothing more than the asso- ciation of some new meaning with some- thing else that already has meaning for the learner. second law, like the first, was first discovered through experiments with animals. Paviev, the Russian physiologist, found that he could “con- dition” the response that a dog made to a plate of meat. He would show the dog the meat. This brought forth a response—a flow of saliva. He varied the experiment by ringing a bell every time he presented the meat. After sev- eral such presentations accompanied by the bell, the bell alone would cause the saliva to flow.
