S % SUNNY EFFECTS ARE HERE GAINED MIRROR, WHILE TEMPORARY GAYETY 1S STRESSED IN POLISHED BRASS CANDLESTICKS AND A LARGE SATSUMA BOWL. It is important in the weather that is apt to be a bit dreary outside, as in November, to have cheery decorations inside the house to offset any inclina- tion of the family to be depressed by the atmosphere. October is generally a period of glorious days with strong sun- shine, gay foliage and bracing air. ‘Therefore, the dull days of November stand out strikingly when skies are grey, rain is in the air, or snow in nor- thern climes, and trees are bare and stark. To guard against a physical re- action of low spirits that naturally would coincide with the dull grayness of the out-of-doors, it is wise in the latter part of the bright period of Oc- tober to plan to hold some of its galety indoors, at least. Decorations of this character must be considered as somewhat temporary, al- though, if successfully done, it may be found pleasant for the wintry months to come. Some of the items suggested today as bringing sunny effects or brightness into rooms would nat- urally be permanent, while, as will be noticed, others can be either tempo- Tary or permanent as the home deco- rator decides best. The permanent furnishings would be hangings and mirrors, not to be changed or influenced by atmospheric condi- tions, because of their character and cost. One would scarcely make a set KEEPING ME BY JOSEPH Psychotherapy. A term that I am often asked to ex- plain is psychotherapy. It means mental healing, but what that means is not so clear. It goes back to mind cures and to faith cures. Most of all, it involves the power of suggestion, and the assurance made popular by Coue that the worst is over and day by day things will get better. Yet all that is not the essence of psychotherapy as the NANCY PAGE Apple Sauce Can Appear in New Guise. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Can you blame a child for not liking apple sauce when it appears in an every-day china dish and when the sauce is lumpy and watery or else thick and mushy? Nancy could see that ap- ple sauce, which now plays such an important part in the child's diet, pecded to be varied in appearance and avor. ADPDLE JAUCE FOR THE JMALL CHILD She used to cook the apples with the | skin left on. She quartered and cored | the fruit and then cooked it in a small | amount of water. When the skins were | a pretty red they gave a pink tinge to | the sauce. At other times she peeled the apples, but in every case she strained the sauce after cooking. Then she added sugar and reheated it. She varied the flavors. Sometimes a little | fresh lemon peel was cooked with the | sauce, sometimes it was dusted with| LAMR PROTH ForR THE JMALL CHILD einnamon or a small amount of grated | nutmeg_was put_over while the sauce | was still hot. Joan loved the sauce when it appeared in a feoted sherbet glass of deep dark blue glass. Another dish which appears fre-| quently on the child’s menu is lamb broth. This needs to be well made and well flavored or it becomes a greasy, strong flavored mixture which the child detests. Nancy cut the two pounds of lamb for stewing into small pieces and cut away all fat. Then she put it over in cold water and let it simmer, not boil, for two hours. During the last half hour she added salt, two carrots and a half potato. A bit of parsley went in. The vegetables were taken out and mashed to a puree for the baby, but Joan ate hers as a vegetable course. ‘The stew was not skimmed. It was not necessary since it is only rapid boiling which forms those small balls or par- ticles on top of broth. They are the rotein, the only nourishing part of roth.

In the matter of mirrors, the placing of them to add beauty to interiors would be the first consideration. The temporary effect of brilliance through reflections could be stressed in dull days by placing highly polished brasses before it, bowls or ornaments of yellow pottery or shimmering glass, or glazed pottery with the rich red tones of Au- tumn or of sunsets. Or, again, a few stalks of bright flowers may give doz- ble notes of color through reflection in some mirror. Among the bright ceramics that ®nd themselves to dispelling dullness in decoration are satsuma, with its reds and its gold; Czechoslovakian potteries, with their 'riots of color; Japanese wares; with their brilliant hues of va- riety, and potteries -in monotones of dashing color. Brightly polished silver sets lend an air of brilliance in dining rooms, as also does the gay glass now so much in evidence. In libraries and living rooms books with gay bindings can be brought into prominence, and magazines with covers in splashes of color can be on tables about the room. (Copyright, 1929.) NTALLY FIT JASTROW. doctrine is nmow understood by those who minister most wisely to minds dis- eased. Certainly every doctor cultivates a cheerful bedside manner, and that may be a good part of the benefit of his visit. Psychotherapy is more than a cheer-up cult. It arises from a very profound prin- ciple of the interplay of the lower and the higher portions of the central nervous system. That huge upper brain of ours that fills the top part of the skull, so much bigger in proportion than in any other animal, represents the highest product of evolution and the reflection that makes us behave like human beings. The outer rind of it, about three-eighths of an inch thick, is the cortex, or bark, and so as & short- hand way of speaking of the thinking machine, we may speak of all this type of function as cortical. Opposed to it is the mass of sensa- tion and the type of feeling connected with the vital functions; in that sense our lower brain is visceral. In common language, that’s where we get the guts to carry on. Because the cortical af- fects the visceral system as well as _vice versa, psychotherapy is possible. There is a lot of visceral feeling of sickness and incapacity for which a cortical state of mind is mainly responsible. And now you see why there are so many mental cures, because there are 50 many mental ailments. The pain that is caused by suggestion also goes by suggestion. You get mentally sick and mentally well by the same mechan- ism. But that's far too simple a state- ment. When you come face to face with the ills which psychotherapy is called upon to treat you have a far more intricate job. You have to recog- nize that while there is a mental factor there are also others. Many a stutterer knows that he stut- ters worse when he thinks about it, but that knowledge doesn’t make him stop stuttering. Many a patient who is de- pressed and has a constant headache knows that it is his worry and his state of mind that is chiefly responsible for both. His cortical brain is convinced of it, but his visceral brain only half ac- cepts it, and the pain and the depres- sion keep on until something very pleas- ant happens and both varish, or some- thing very unpleasant happens and both get worse. So it's quite all right to tell this pa- tient that if he could only think him- self well he would be well, and he must believe it through thick and thin, but he isn't going to throw off his depres- sion as he would his crutches if he had a purely hysterical lameness, for the mechanism, though similar, is not the same. He has to put up a harder and a longer fight, with slow gains and many backsteps and slumps. 1 Psychotherapy is a difficult art and calls to its aid all the resources of medi- cine and hygiene. It recognizes the large mental factor in disease, but| doesn’t make the mistake of saying it | is all in the mind or that all cases are | alike in course or treatemnt. Psychotherapy is the art of mental stimulation. It requires graded doses of assurance and encouragement; agree- able occupation, helpful companionship, diversion and all that goes into an in- genious course in restoring the zest in living and the hopeful determination to get well. It is the most humane of all arts, requires larger sympathy and in- sight into the intricacies of human na- ture than any other. The doctor who said that “If you think you're sick when you're not sick, you are very sick in- reality as well as of the intricacy of the neurotic personality. The psychothera- peutist is the one who is making prog- ress in ministering to such flls. His task is difficult by reason of the Intri- cate relations of the nervous system that make visceral ilis cortical ills and cortical ills visceral ills. There are no get-well-quick methods in legitimate psychotherapy. (Copyright, 1929.) - Fudge Sauce.

October 19, 1861.—The Civil War, which has done so much to upset the quiet, old peacetime routine everywhere, killing off business in some fields and quickening it to unusual activity in others, has accelerated the business of the Washington City Post Office to a degree never experienced since it was established. Since the inauguration of active war operations here, and the consequent concentration of a vast army in and around the rFederal Capital, the mails have increased more than two-hundred- fold. The occupation of the mail routes to the North and West by the Govern- ment for the purposes of Army tran: portation has resulted in great irregu. larity in the arrival of the mail trains here. On days when the trains are late it is impossible to have the mall nifitter distributed and the Post Office open to the public at the regular hours. The public necessarily suffers to the extent of having to wait until the let- ters are distributed and placed in the mail boxes. This is a work of great labor, in view of the thousands of sol- diers here, whose letter-writing achieve- ments are no slight matter and whose friends at home do not seem backward in sending them letters. ‘The Post Office, since the commence- ment of the war, has been em- barrassed by the tons of newspapers sent to the soldlers. These papers are usually stale when they arrive and are received with indifference by the sol- diers, but they must be assorted and distributed—a work requiring the con- stant labor of several men. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the immense work of the City Post Office is being performed in a manner that is generally regarded as very creditable to Postmaster Clephane and his force. Several improvements in office details have been adopted and others of greater importance are impending. A reception room for ladles, communicating with their window, will soon be provided and will doubtless be very acceptable dur- ing the coming Winter. ‘The accounts of the Post Office for the quarter which ended September 30 have just been completed and were made public today. They show the fol- lowing results: Estimated number of letters received and assorted, 3,610,000, and about the same number sent out of the city; re- ceipts from unpaid letters received, $1,890.25; receipts from sale of postage stamps, $25,272.89; receipt news- papers’_$79! ‘making total of $27,868.89. 75, Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Psychopathic Personalities. ‘The history of the human mind con- tains a long, doleful chapter on hu- man tendencies to fall back to infantile levels. Most people, if just a little ill, begin to whine. Men especially. It's a cry for mother to come and kiss the “bumped place.” There are people in the world who will do this sort of thing every time something goes wrong. Re- gression is the sclentific namne for this mental mechanism. ‘There’s another chapter which tells the story of how people get facts mixed with fancy, Some people get their pleasure from ‘their day-dreams. Too many of them try to turn these wool- gatherine expeditions into real achieve- ment. The result, of course, is disap- pointment. Carried on day after day, year after year, the result is absolute and complete failure. A lot of people break down from extravagant expecta- tion. “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick.” Those who get that way become introspective and tend to shut them- selves off from the rest of the world. Introspection is the name of the mech- anism. Introvert is the name of the ype. yfveext we have the paranoiacs. They are the people who override every diffi- culty by pretending that they stand above and beyond natural events. At the same time they develop an over- sensitivity for everything, get suspicious of everybody, and finally begin to call on the law to protect them. They will go to court on the slightest provocation, fighting for what they call principle. Disappointment is just around the cor- ner, for the rest of the world are as a rule interested in themselves. The aranoiac suffers the natural fate of gemg ignored. Then it is that he may begin to concoct a new scheme for the social order, of a mew religion, and to assume personal charge of this imagi- nary world. The paranoiacs are the projectors par excellence. These three types, the degressive, the introvertive and the projective, are to be found everywhere in mild degree. WASHINGTO Will a Vacation From D.

It is & regular knockdown and dragout fight every day from. the time he comes home until he leaves about everything and nothing. We have two children and it is for their sakes that we have stood it as long as we have, but I often think that they are worse off in an incompatible home than they would be otherwise. I am capable of earning a good salary.

She never asks her husband for money. children need new shoes, or that the rent is due, or that Aunt Susanna is coming to pay & nice long visit, because if she did he would flare up and say things to her that would hurt her feelings and rouse her to make a few snappy comebacks herself and he would remind her of the time that she sold his best pants to the ragman and forgot to turn off the water and let the pipes freeze, and so on, that any one says or does to you irritates you beyond endurance. suppress your feelings and turn an amiable and smiling face upon the world at your office, or else you would lose your job, but when you get home you let yourself go and pour out on your hushand and children all the bottled-up wrath that you have had to keep within you all day.

I know one woman married to a man with who eliminated the family spat by this e never tells him that the in family scrimmages, you know. But when she writes him the bad news he is too far away to say anything to her and before he sees her he cools off and has time to of her request, and the matter is diplomatically adjudicated, with no bones see the reasonableness your case is that you are overworked at the breaking point, where everything You have to do the work of two women.

He would probably rather work harder himself and have a pleasant, amiable wife than to have a wife who helped him support the family, but who ‘was so irritable that he couldn't get along with her. ‘The woman who is sweet and amiable and who makes her family a pleasant, quiet home, does all that should be expected of her and she contributes far more to her family's welfare { than if she brought in a pay envelope.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND, One of the most practical pleces of dining room or breakfast room furni- ture the open shelved cupboard, as shown in the illustration. ‘This is of pine and such a good piece to use in an early American dining room. Inasmuch as it is also made in maple, you may have your choice, but you will find one just as charming as the other. If you have two or three windows in one casing centered in a wall, there is no arrangement more delightful than a corner cupboard of this type in each corner at the side of the group of win- dows. This gives a balanced wall and by having the woodwork enameled in ivory and the walls either painted in plain green or treated with a colonial wallpaper, there will be an excellent background for the balance of the fur- nishings. These may consist of a gateleg or drawtop table, ladderback chairs, a large, oval, braided rug, ruffied organdie curtains (fluted) and pewter fixtures. If there are two separate windows in a wall with sufficlent space between, use a flat cupboard between these. (Copyright, 1929.)

With the smartly tailored sult a small buttonhole bouquet often adds just the needed finishing touch. A trim boutonniere of blue corn flowers on the navy-blue suit—one or two white gardenlas—on black, gray or navy blue —brown and yellow daisies on a brown tweed—are good selections. The most important thing to remember is that the flowers should be discarded the moment that they become the least bit soiled or bedraggled. It is far better to buy the cheapest sort and to change them often than to buy an expensive flower that one feels must be worn for a long time. An artificial flower may be added to the fur collar to add a touch of fem- ininity to the ensemble, and here, too, care must be taken to get a flower of Jjust the right color. Occasionally a good effect is obtained by wearing a flower that is in marked contrast. A black dress worn with & black coat with gray fur collar and a black hat loses its somberness if a pink rose is added to the fur collar.

How does one use olive oil to massage? Is it mixed with the witch hazel? My skin is rather dry, but I have enlarged pores around my chin and at the sides of my nose. Will you tell me how to cleanse my face, and if olive oil or cleansing oil darkens the skin? Please publish a good skin tonic that I may use regu- larly. Thanking you for your valuable advice in our beauty problems. I work and keep house, so I do not have very much time to spend on myself.— Mrs. H. G. K. Answer—When using witch hazel on the face, always cleanse the skin first with a cleansing cream or ofl, then | with soap and water. Rinse well and dry and pat on the witch hazel, using a piece of clean absorbent cotton. An- other way in which you may use the witch hazel is to cut out a piece of gauze or cheesecloth the size of the face with holes for eyes, nose and mouth. Moisten the mask in the witch hazel and mold it over the face. Leave it on for half an hour or so after cleaning the skin and massage it for a few moments with a good skin food, cold cream or tissue cream. When using olive oil for the skin, do not add it to the witch hazel, as these two will not mix. You may use the olive oil as a cleanser to massage the skin and to keep it lubricated. The cleansing oil is made: as follows: Two ounces oil of benne, or_teel oil; one- half ounce oill of almonds, 2 drams cologne water; five drops simple tinc- ture of benzoin. Add the oils together and the cologne water, then the ben- zoin, drop by drop. When using olive oil to cleanse, massage or lubricate the skin, add five drops of tincture of ben- zoin. There are a number of skin ton- ics on the market, but I cannot rec- ommend any particular brand. You may make your own, however, of the following simple ingredients: Three ounces orange flower water, four drams glycerin, four drams cologne water, one iram boric acid, ten drops simple tinc- ture of benzoin, six ounces rosewater. To make the skin tonic, mix the glycerin and cologne water together, | dissolve the boric acid in a little of the rosewater and add to the orange flower water. Then mix these two solutions, an inch in thickness and cut into eir- cles with a biscuit cutter. Spread with in & hot oven \ike ) elowss absarbent cotion cream together with the remainder of the rose- water, and add the benzoin, drop by Shake well.

My measurements are: Neck, 13%; arm, 10%; hips, 37; thigh, 2115; 81, Am I too bust, 36; waist, 28; calf, 13; ankle, Answer—The average weight for your age and height is between 126 and 136 pounds. You are not overweight and your measurements are good. A girl of your age needs active exercise regularly to keep her figure trim and her muscles firm and supple. Try to take a brisk 4-mile walk daily and spend one or two evenings a week at the swimming pool, gymnasium or dancing class. In this way you will preserve your figure and keep yourself fit. Do not try to reduce, however, as it is quite natural for a girl of your age to have curves in place of the flat figure of early years. LOIS .
