WOMAN'’S PAGE Emotions and Home Atmosphere BY LYDIA LE BARON ‘INALKEI‘ ‘The way in which the members of a family exercise their powers of emotion plays one of the most important, if not jwdeed the most important, part in the Each normal person has the ability ? do it. For some persons it is compard= tively easy, for others it is difficult, but always it is possible. Usually the per- !son who finds it difficult has a com- | pensation in being particularly gifted. | The phlegmatic person shows little emo- | tion, but_also he exhibits little or no | genius. The person who has the power | for great emotions, yet who keeps them | under _control, is' the one who is a! | great force in the world as well as in | I the home. | Few persons appreciate emotions as | power, for the power is so often put to little use, and is often actually | wasted. The person who gets into a temper at the slightest provocation is | misusing his power. Imagine the force that such a person could have in con- structive ways K all the strength of his | anger were turned into practical chan. | | nels. In tempestuous natures power i | not lacking, only the control of it. Un- happiness is the lot of the person and of | all who have to live with him or her. | A great force that is in action without | control is devastating. | When the emotions are governed, affairs that would be disturbing are | seen in their proper proportions, and | oftentimes this means that they arc | found not worth letting one’s emotions | loose on. Why get worked up over trifies of no real value? A child may cry and lose his temper before he dis- covers the futility of such emotional outbursts. It is expected of adults that | they learn to govern their powers, and { not to permit emotional forces to gov- | ern_them. | The reaction of emotional outbursts of | temper is gloom. Nothing can dispel | this miserable state, except getting some rays of good, some happy out- | look in one's mind. Eventually these | will penetrate, for human nature docs { not court, gloom, it insists, through that unquenchable spark of hope existent in all, that good prevail. But the person who loses emotional control loses sight LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. ‘We was starting to eat suppir and I was feeling kind of bum on account of not feeling very good, and pop sed, Whats a matter with Benny, he's eat- ing like a canary with a tooth ake.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. How does a person feel when he pities himself? Consider first the nature of the situation which calls self-pity into_ action. Something more or less revolutionary, generally a misfortune that upsets a person’s plans in general. At that moment he needs some one to cheer him up a little. Unfortunately the proper kind and amount of en- coming. This means that the one who is about to pity himself must divide his personality into two parts—one the sympathy giver and the other the sym- pathy receiver. In other words, he creates in his imagination the sort of society (a society of sympathizers) that reality does not afford. Now the stage is set for self-pity. ‘The individual begins to lose contact with the real world and to enjoy the blessings of his fictitious world. Day- dreams come fast and remain long. ant situations and put himself in com- That part of his personality the sympathy receiver waxes strong and mighty. Feelings of grandeur follow one another in quick succession. He which he is entirely unprepared. Some- times the self-pitier will actually tempt an entirely new career. Now, in attempting a new career, the stage is set for a battle between reality and fancy. And, of course, reality wins cvery time. The divided personalities The pleasures incident to the showering of sympathy by one part of the personality upon the other vanish into thin air. Then comes confusion. The dejected | | individual begins to cast about for new | | moorings. He may. again divide his personality. Usually, however, he first expends his waning energy upon a re- newed search for sympathy from a real world. He will follow any clue with 2 vengeance and considers mere acquaini- ances as close friends. Although he WEAT-URES. BEAUTY CHATS Your Feet. You have 26 bones in each foot con- nected by more than a hundred liga- ments and worked by many muscles and nerves. Have you had any idea that your foot was such a complicated struc- ture? Perhaps if you realize how com- plicated and delicate your foot is you won't abuse it by imprisoning it in the wrong type of shoes. There are four arches to the foot, a long one on the inside which runs from the heel to the big toe, a front arch which extends across the ball of the foot, a third along the outside, from the heel to the small toe, and the fourth arch across the middle of the foot under the instep. If badly designed or badly fitting shoes are worn, these arches sag and the bones slip out of place. Headaches, backaches, steady fatigue, | nerves, indigestion, disorders of the | spine and pains which are sometimes BY EDNA KENT FORBES mistaken for Teuritis or rheumatism may be due to displacement of the bones in the foot. For you must remember that your entire body rests on this foun- dation just as a high building rests upon a foundation of stone and concrete. If a stone is out of place in the founda- tion, the walls of the building will crack. Doesn’t it seem logical that your body cannot rest on an imperfect foun- dation without trouble being felt all over it? » Foot experts can cure foot troubles. | Bunions, fallen arches and such ail- ments can be put right. Osteopaths do it, expert masseurs do it. You yourself can do a lot by discarding pointed toe, high-heel shoes and buying your shoes in the girls’ departments, where you can get as large a size as 7 and 7',.

Every now and then some one tells ns what he would do in the event of An emergency, particularly if a man stuck 2 gun between his eves and ord- ered him to “stick ‘em up.” Most of them have been honest enough to ob- serve that they would obey the com- mand. Mr. Adams of Potomac, Va., relates a story concerning his grandfather, an Englishman of means. He resided in the town of Leeds and was known to carry large sums of money on his per- son. One evening he stopped at an inn. Several persons advised him to be care- ful as he traveled on the highroad at night. The gentleman habitually car- ried what resembled a blackjack hid- den beneath his sleeve, secured by a leather strap wound about the wrist. Leaving the inn on horsehack, he cantered along a dark road. Sud. denly a robber emerged from the shrub. hery and ordered him to throw up his | hands. The command was backed by 2 blunderbuss, which he poked menac- ingly at the victim. The man on horseback handed the robber his well filled purse, which the bandit seized cagerly. As stick-up man was about to disappear his victim said,” I would never have given you that purse had there not been two of yo looked see who the other one was. Of course, there was no other, As he turned his head the man on HE HIT WM ON E HEAD the | The robber | around to| through a dark Virginla road.

An example of quick thinging. ¥ A woman whose husband traveled ex- tensively was left alone with her chil- dren frequently. One night, a burglar entered the house and found his way to her room. Seizing an old clay pipe be- longing to her spouse, she held the bowl in her hand and aimed the stem at the | intruder, who dashed from the room. He believed it to b> a pistol. We know this story to be true, R ‘While we are on the pleasant sub- Ject of robberies, we might mention another woman who, one night, saw a man’s arm reach through an open pantry window.

Under no circumstances will I consid- e any bread but Wonder Bread. There ‘uescvenl excellent reasons for this. _ First of all, I find it so easy to slice, ! even when extremely fresh. No matter ‘how thin I may cut it, it never crum- ! bles. This is due, I suppose, to its re- | markably fine texture. IN SPREADING on the filling, use a flat . Spread evenly to extreme edes.
