‘WOMA N’S PAGE, Small Pillow Sets for Boudoirs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE LATES BOUDOIR PW ARE FASHIONED IN THIS WAY Boudoir pillows have gon thrwgl:rthz range of such variety that it is dly believable that any innovations could be made. However, here is a new and attactive change. Since pillows themselves appear to khave had all the developments of shape and size possible, the departure in this instance is in the grouping of several. If one is familiar with the bundles of tiny sachets, made like diminutive square pillows and tled together with baby ribbon, then this form of tying together of boudoir pillows is easy to picture. Modern decoration for the boudoir is in excellent taste when a variety of Tmfl of neutral colors is employed in its apointments. These may be sug- gested in the small square shaped bou- doir pillows, each of different hue. ‘The pillows themselves may be from 9 to 12 inches on a side. They are given enough filling to make them soft without being “plump.” Since it is as ® group they are used, the combined bulk of them is what furnishes size and ;l;bcuur::e. olheo;ru. the lJU]o;:s may enoug| use separately, it desired. & ‘The more exquisite of these sets of boudoir pillows are made of several shades of soft taffeta. In a room where blue of & pale gray cast, lavender, rose and pale yellow may be employed, these are excellent tones to combine. A totally different treatment is to use figured glazed chintz in their making. ‘The effect of such material thus em- ployed is emphatically quaint. A set of these pi & springlike pat- tern is attractive. When made in plain glazed goods the pillows may even be used on a day bed in & room which 1s a combination bedroom and living room. A bizarre effect is possible with the plllow sets when such colors as black, gold, red and green of vivid hues are selected. Indeed, the most interesting feature of this vogue for grouped pil- lows of uniform size and shape is the .{:l“ variety of color combinations pos- aible. (Copyrisht, 1929.) PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Meat and Vegetables. Vilhjalmur Stefansson and his com- panion explorer, Andersen, have re- cently completed a year of life in the United States on an exclusive meat diet under observation of competent nutri- tion specialists. Knowing from his ex- perience in the Arctic how this all-meat diet works, Stefansson predicted that he would be ill in a few days when the diet started. and sure enough by the evening of the second day he was nau- seated, lethargic and weak in the knees, just as he had been when compelled to subsist on an all-meat diet in the Arc- tic. The third day the symptoms were intensified and a diarrhea developed. This was all due to the pure lean-meat diet. The fourth day some fat was added, and on lean meat plus fat in tasteful quantities Stefansson recovered his usual good health in two days. In the first 10 days of the meat pius fat diet he lost about four pounds in weight, and after the diarrhea stopped there was stubborn constipation and a craving for calves’ brains and bacon. Too hearty indulgence in these resulted in & couple of days of nausea and diarrhea, . Then an adjustment of the proggmom of lean and fat meat brought about & nor- mal state of the digestion. Andersen lost five pounds in the first week on lean-fat meat and then began to gain steadily, and within two months had reached his original normal weight. He suffered no upsets like Stefansson’s in the early stage of the experiment, for he had sufficient fat with his lean meat all the time, while Stefansson sub- sisted for several days on all lean and no fat, ir order that the doctors might observe the effects. Stefansson traveled about the country during the Winter. I met him in the course of the second month of his ex- periment. He seemed as comfortable and as fit as though he had just stowed away & plateful of taters, bread and ice cream, I asked him how he would like & nice mess of raw frozen fish, and he asked me how I would like a plate of choice bluspoints on the shell. He be- lieved if he could get raw frozen fish here like that in the Arctic he would enjoy it. {nythe entire year on the exclusive meat diet Stefansson lost five and a half pounds, some of which he consid- ered excessive weight, and Andersen lost six pounds. Both men averaged more than 2,600 calories a day—2,100 valorles in the form of fat and 540 calories in the form of protein. They received not more than 40 or 50 calories daily in the carbohydrate in meat. Ste- fansson’s blood pressure remained nor- mal for him all the year. Anderson’s was & trifle high at the beginning and about that of a healthy youth at the end of the year. Both men led sedentary lives. Neither felt any indication of decreased physi- cal or mental vigor. Andersen believed he stood last Summer's heat better than e does ordinarily on a mixed diet. Both men appeared ruddy at the end of the experiment. Anderson reported that his hair had stopped falling out shortly after the meat diet was started. Dentists watching both subjects noted no de- terioration of the teeth, but there was an increased tartar deposit on Stefan- sson’s teeth. Stefansson craved no salt. Andersen took very little with his food. Water, coffee and black tea were the only bev- erages taken; no milk. Of course, these beverages were not sweetened. Each man took an average of three pints of fluid daily. Stefansson sometimes took eggs when on journeys where good meat was not available. Both men enjoyed eating ribs and gristle of meat, from which they derived considerable cal- cium probably. Most of their meat was cold-storage stuff, For two months in the beginning they had freshly-killed meat. The meat was usually boiled or stewed, but not long, for these men like the inside left rare. They liked raw- bone marrow as & dessert when they Mr. Stefansson ate four meals a day. Mr. Andersen ate three. They enjoyed their meals, and slways left the table completely satisfl OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri The First Day. The first day at school is of high im- portance. After the mother has set the child in the right mood for school the teacher must receive him in the proper setting, in the right mood, all set for the successful day. The teacher ought to be well rested, so that morning finds her feeling fit. A healthy, happy body is the very first requisite in our profession. Children take the essence of life from the teach- er's being, so the reservoir must be full to the brim this first morning. Of course, D | first day in gayer. the prettier, the younger, the better. A bright flower, & gay ribbon, a. bright smile will bring the light to & child’s eyes every time. The teacher must be truly glad to} meet the children. It is not possible to| hide one's spirit {from the children who | live in the room under its influence all day long. They will find out the wardness of the teacher before the first | recess. So be happy and glad and cheer- ful. Have the program prepared. Know exactly what you are going to do and how you are going to do it. It is neces- sary that the teacher go to school a day or so before the.opening of school and set everything in order for the great day. .{11 books need fresh, clean covers, AlL pencils must be new and properly sharpened—not too fine a point, or there will be tears at the very start. We must avold all cause of tears. i That means that mothers must hand the teacher a card with the child’s name, telephone number, address writ- ten plainly upon it, and go their way. It is essential that mothers leave the || classroom promptly and cheerfully. No ' backward glances, no tearful good-bys, no “Kiss mother good-by.” A mother ‘who leaves a tearful child behind her| has done a very poor job. Children like a business attitude in the classroom, They like to' follow or- ders, to accept & formal routine. “Take seat No. 2, second row; hang your things on hook two, second row; you will find your picture book in your desk. Thank u,” sets the stage for business and eliminates the emotional mood. ‘The teacher must strive against emo- tion in the classroom attitude, Any tears, any undue petting, promising, the stage for trouble. in a firm, courteous, mean and see your program through without haste or excitement. ‘Teach the children the classroom rou- tine this first day. Teach them how they are to stand and sit and march; teach them the doors to be used, the stairways, the general traffic regula- tions that are observed in their goings and comings. Teach them how to han- dle material, how to place it, and how to use it. Get the first day right, and you will have little trouble with class management. Teach something new the first day. And the second dsy. And every day thereafter. Prepare thoroughly for this school, and ail the other days will be the happler.

Many people say that now and then they dream l';‘hEy are a:h‘:lx. .!my do eceasarily, though uipped substantial litera- ture on flying dreams, with the usual conflicting theories about them. These students who take the evolu- tionary point of view say that such dreams have an ancient origin. They are mental vestiges (left-overs) from a very primitive state of human exist- ence. The idea 1s that there is a little of every sort of animality in our make-up, birds included. They hold that now and then the bird-life in us crops out, directing our imaginations, especially in sleep, when all the civil- ized and the so-called human traits have gone to sleep, This, of course, is only & theory. But some of the evolutionists think it's the only logical explanation. If so, why not go & step farther and say we owe the airplane to our ancient bird ancestry? Children, so far eas statistics go, have these flying dreams more fre- quently than adults. Moreover, these dreams are ys associated with some frightful dream situation, such as the “night fears,” which tween the ages of 3 and 5 specialize. ‘These facts seem to suggest another explanation. One may take the view that flylng dreams are merely combi- nations of fear and escape from the fear - inspiring images that disturb sleep. Children notice birds. They must frequently wish that they could fly like birds. And children fall to sleep with more fears on their minds than the average adult knows anything about. So it would seem loflcnl to say that some unexplained, fearful situation hangs over ffom the child’s puszied day of troubles. To this he merely adds the magic of his observation of birds, and invents a way out of the situation. 1t is not hard to imagine that flying dreams are combinations of fearful images and devices for getting away from them.

In recent years this has grown to be one of the most poplar hotels in the United States, and its proprietors have gained Nation-wide reputations.

This hotel, now known as the Kirk- wood House, was erected in 1847. In that year a building on this site, occu- pied by the Fountain Inn, was torn down and a four-story hotel building was put up.

There are many simple varieties of egoists as well as some complex ones. Modern psychology is not as hard in that falling as were older codes of morals which made the overvaluation a pretty serious sin. “Pride goeth before a fall.” Doubt- less it often does; and the fall may bring the victim to a fairer sense of his own value. We have in mind that deadly sense of undervaluation, called in these Freudian days an inferiority feeling. That interferes so decidedly with mental fitness, that it throws the emphasis toward having a proper sense of one's own place, and is willing to run little risk of overvaluation. You must be able to hold up your head and face your fellow men as an equal to bring out the best that is in you; you must have self-respect. Injure that too deeply and a man, and no less a child, loses a valuable incentive. The simplest form of egotism is vanity: just what it is that you are vain of makes a difference in the feel- ing. Vanity of appearance is again the Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. There is not a room in the house being neglected today from a decora- t've standpoint, and even the bathroom has “gone modern” when it comes to No longer are white tubs and fixtures thought to be the “last word”;-for now we find the coolest, softest shade of green, a fascinating orchid, peach and — - even blue enamel, as well as rose. So, no matter what the bedroom color scheme may be, the bathroom may be decorated to match. In the illustration is shown what modern design has done to the glass in the bathroom. The rectangular piece in the center is the door to the medi- cine cabinet, severely modern, but really more practical than that with the wooden frame, for it is easier to keep clean. Each side of the medicine cabinet are long, narrow mirrors (or pieces of plate glass, if you prefer) to which rectangu- lar shelves are attached and held in Jars, etc., of the tollet, and their gay colors add tone to the decorative scheme. (Copyright. 1929 simplest, and the most of it is innocent enough. That & pretty girl should be ignorant of the fact or it, is asking too much of human nature; pride in appearance leads to neatness and self-respect. Pride in ability or achievement has the same psychology; overdone, it goes by the name of con- ceit. It’s often necessary to knock some of it out of a young man, and other young men, as well as the hard blows of experience, may be counted on for the service. You reach true egotism and the ob- noxious kind when it affects conduct in either of two ways—the first is the more ol in that it leads to & superiority feeling and interferes with a proper attitude toward your fellow beings. Pride of birth, station, wealth, reputa- tion, may bring it about, and it is as often to be pitied as blamed. Egotism plays an enormous part in every complex society. Millions and millions of dollars are spent in satisfy- iry it. But the second effect is the cen- tral one, for it makes the individual self-centered, and that is the deadly egotism. It begins in the easily under- stood selfishness of children, of which greediness is the simplest form. It isn't the moral fault of selfishness that wor- ries modern psychology so much as the impaired kind of personality that re- sults from having self too constantly on the mind. Join that to a certain sense of superiority, and you have the full- blown egotist. In our type of soclety the readiest temptation to become an egotist is that isunonndln. the man of great wealth. ‘There are so many ready to do his bid- ding, s0 many eager to flatter and gain his favor. He is so naturally the center of things that it takes a strong char- {acter not to yield to all this and become self-centered. That type of egotism {Tuns deeper than the mere sense of superiority that may make a man dis- tant and formal in manner. ‘This psychological egotist may be in manner modest and easily approach- able, but he regards his affairs as more important than yours, and whether he wills it or not, he judges everything as a means of feeding that appetite for self-appraisal. He comes to value his own opinions highly and becomes dictatorial;” he is unhappy unless some one is him tribute; he rarely gets self out of his mind. Yet he may be generous and TR et &' ersomaly, wise. He is not a shut- y, like the miser. On the contrary, he needs and is dependent upon the con- tact and good will of his fellow men.
