WOMAN’S PAGE. Good Taste in BY MARY I have heard women contend that a really good Oriental rug of any design or color was appropriate in any well furnished room, no matter what the other deccrations might be, the idea being that real Oriental colors are so good that they will blend with any colors anywhere. The more money the rug had cost, the more confident its owner feels of the rug’s adaptability. Similarly some women contend that BET OF EVENING JEWELRY CON- SISTS OF A LONG CHAIN OF RHINESTONES SET IN SILVER, EARRINGS OF RHINESTONES AND EMERALDS AND ONE BRACELET OF RHINESTONES WHICH MAY BE WORN OVER BLACK GLOVES. really precious stones—diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, pearls and fine « opals—are appropriate with any sort of fine evening dress. Semi-precious stones and mere imita- tions are different. They are permis- Use of Jewelry MARSHALL. that has made the fashion for wearing | inexpensive costume jewelry a happy fashion is this very feeling that women have about it. Often the imitation glass jewelry looks better than precious stones because the former has been worn only with the dress for which it is entirely suitable, while the rubles, emeralds, diamonds, etc., have been worn with the conviction that their intrinsic value makes them always acceptable. Lately, however, women of good taste have come to realize that even precious stones need the right setting. Instead, of wearing all their fine jewelry on e\'e?’ occasicn they think of each plece as demanding special treatment. ‘This week’s circular gives a sketch of a smart felt hat of the new sort, off-the- brow at the front and fitting close at the back of the head, and with this is a diagram showing how an old-fashioned felt cloche may be cut, pressed and re- shaped into the new fashion. If you would like a copy please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Mar- shall, care of this paper, and it will be forwarded to you. (Copyright, 1929.)

Hysteria is a state in which some re- Ppressed or suppressed idea, memory, ex- perience, usually an unpleasant one, temporarily emerges from the subcon- scious and controls the body. Hysteria is not to be confused with ‘hysterics" or tantrums or anything like that; nor is it by any means confined to one sex. Hysteria is very difficult for the best doctor to recognize or diagnose. A layman would seldom suspect the true | character of the average case of hys- | teria. As many lay readers know, whether to their advantage or not, the psy- chologist Preud and his followers hold that hysteria is invariably the outcome of a repressed wish. Many of the la- borfous psychic analyses submitted by Preudians seem far-fetched, but, any- how, hysteria means that some sup- pressed idea has taken command of the personality, thus finding temporary re- lief in a roundabout mode of expr sion. The truth of this theory of h; teria is borne out by the success the skilled psychiatrist or mental specialist’ often attains in helping the patient get rid of the psychic skeleton that is hid- den in his mental closet. Sport in America predisposes to hys- | teria—not hysterics, but the real thing. So many foot ball fans, for example, share in the excitement of the game, yet suppress the impulse to play them- selves or give it but a feeble, vicarious relief in cheering, throwing things or Mun‘etne\r nails in grandstand or bleachers. If definite hysteria is not the outcome of this sort of abnormal then the emotions so excited | will find vea in other ways, such as the neuroses, phobias, obsessions. ‘We can’t all be heroes, stars or cham- pions, but everybody can do his own playing, even though it be only croquet or checkers.

It must be an almost laughable sight to see, in the \forests of Cochin China our domestic chickens living wild in the woods—for every domestic animal had to come into existence as a wild thing somewhere. And no doubt the rooster crows valiantly from the trees, and is as familiar a sound in the jungle as it is in the suburbs. But there is one bird that we may carve about Thanksgiving time that no one except the hunter heeds as any- thing worthy of second notice, and that is the mallard duck. Our com- monest, though not all, breeds of barnyard duck are derived from the mallard, that bright and doughty fel- low that is found all over Europe, Asia and North America. The male, with his head and neck a glossy green with purple lights, with a collar of white, and a back of brown, shading gray on the wings, and wing bars of purple bordered by black and white, the bill greenish yellow and the feet orange, is the most multi-colored, snug, smug, any vain of all the feathered fellows with webbed feet. It is astonishing that he takes much interest in a mate 50 much more retiringly plumaged, but the Chinese consider him the symbol of husbandly faithfulness. I am sorry to say that while eggs are hatching, he sometimes disappears in strange com- pany. ‘The place to see mallards is down river on the Potomac, where the wild rice and pondweed grow. If you can ldle a canoe very quietly amidst e sere and rasping stalks of wild rice, you come on mallards often, at this season., Indeed, in Spring they make very little showing at all; weeks are the only time of year when the bird-lover can get a good look at the lovable mallard, and the bird- killer takes his pot-shots now from some shooting-blind in the reeds, or watches motionless by -his decoys. Even , ducks can, during daylight, spend immense amount of time drifting about in an uninteresting way, and they have frequently exceeded by pa- tience in waiting for them to do some- hing amusing. The truth is that they migrate and feed chiefly at night, and because of the bitter experience of their race they make themselves as small as may be in the day. * MOTHERS AND ;lll'l CHILDREN. Reading Poetry. One mother says: “My children didn’t seem to about reading poetry, although they liked to have me read it to them or recite some for them. One evening I sald I'd like to have some one read some poetry to me, as I had so much mend- ing to do and had no time that evening for reading. They were all eager to find out what poet I should like to have them read from, so I mentioned one. Now, after many such evenlnfi the children are fast learning many beauti- ful poems and often recite them when dressing or preparing for bed.” (Copyright, 1929.) SUB ROSA BY MIML Sweet Sixteen. Some numbers stick in the mifnd and you can't get them out of your mental arithmetic. Sixteen in years is supposed to be the magic number as to charm, thirty-six in inches sug- gests the shape of the Venus de Metrop- olis. But some have to reduce down to the classic model. ‘The sixteen-year-old was supposed to be the goods in coyness when girls didn’t have to go to high school and before old Sholes invented the type- writer. All the sixteener had to do was to stick around the kitchen and wait until the path was cleared to the altar. She had the proper amount of loveliness about her like the maple syrup on the wheat cakes. Sixteen! My word! What does a girl of that age know about the world, d what chance has she to write h understand that lapper must have a d head on her shoulders. w I'll admit that all of us, from sixteen to fifty-six, dress in the six- teener's style and try to look the part.

If she’s going on a joy ride or to a dance, she must carry a certain amount of wisdom with her in her vanity case. She may smear a sweet smile on her face with a lip-stick, but she must set her teeth behind it. It's all very well to be able to blush prettily and faint gracefully, but the old-style blusher and fainter wouldn't stand a chance in the modern rush and .crush. The sweetie with the six- teen candles on her cake would be devoured by the cake eater. The gazelle girl is extinct, it seems.

Louiseboulanger created this OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI Watch the Weather. Before teaching & child something new, and therefore difficult, the teacher must first select the right time, place and mood. If that be wrong in any particular, the teaching goes for naught. One of the chief elements in the s! uation is the weather. There are cer- days when school work:is very poor. ‘The discipline of the school is very difficult on certain days. Boys and giris do things they never think of do- ing when the weather is right, and the teachers are distracted. One must watch the weather. It is not wise to start teaching a new rule in mathematics when it has begun to snow. A snowstorm wakens certain emotions in boys and girls that set them all aquiver. It is not possible for them to concentrate on new work. Any at- tempt at it will surely result in trouble. Just what it is that is awakened in children by the first snowfall I do not know, but I am certain that it is not conducive to study. Very warm days are not good for problem work. The higher the tempera- ture the worse the conduct of the class. The wise teacher knows that and cre- ates within himself the right mood for the occasion. The dress, the manner, the tone of the teacher is cool. The lesson is tuned to restful, easy, rhyth- mic work. No excitement, no irritation, no sharp commands, no quick response will serve. Cool, gentle, suave, must be the mood or friction will arise and trouble worse confounded. Dark days, with fog and drizzling rain, are poor days for accurate work. No wise teacher will set an examina- tion on such a day. Wait for the sun- shine and the light atmosphere before giving an examination. Nor is it wise to set a task that re- quires concentration on a windy day. There are certain winds that set the nerves on edge and drive sensitive chil- dren to the point™ef hysteria. Combat that kind of a day by doing physical work as far as possible. Let the chil- dren move about & bit and let them sing cheery, hearty tunes. Of course, it will not do to mention the weather to the class. Ignore it out- wardly. Discourage remarks about the heat or the cold or the wet. Smile cheerfully and set the complaining child to doing some work about the room. Do not openly consult the thermometer or fuss about the ventilation. Set the room right as possible before the class arrivgs and then ignore the weather, as far as they can see. Keep all umbrellas and raincoats and rubbers in the wardrobe where they be- long. There is nothing so depressing to a child as the sight of wet coats drying on the radiators, raincoats spread on charts. rubbers being kicked across the aisles, There must be no suggestion of poor weather about the classroom. When the weather is good, when the sun shines and the air is easy to breathe, when the children step lightly and move freely, get in your new work. Get the weather on vour side and work with it, not against it, and things will be easier. Work Positively. ‘When the children are little, it is easy to teach them. Comparatively easy, I ought to say, for child training is never easy. But when adolescence sets things are more complicated. Qur meth- ods must be changed. e Tecognized 83 perions. ey Jong to 85 persons. y long be treated as adults and they ought to be. We should loosen the rules and ad- Jjust the programs as the children evolve personalities. It will not serve now to command, to dictate, to take acquies- ence for granted. This is a stormy period. The boys and girls will do all sorts of things they should not do, for you see, they are the product of a long iine of ancestors, the race habits, the race traits crop out in them and amaze us. We never expected Sarah to develop a temper. We never dreamed of Robert running away from home. We never thought that the child would lie to his own mother. But the child will, and we have to meet the sit- uation without fear and without anger. Our' teaching must be positive, not negative. We are not to “You must not tell a le.’ deal in 'big wholes and with positive :Eiflt “The truth is the only quality at will serve you. Truth is mighty and will prevail.” The adolescent child resents personal dictation but he rises eagerly to take in universal truths. He feels the wings of his spirit sweeping him up to the heights and he will rise boldly to principles of ethics and con- duct that make us consider and Flus! ‘This is the time to deal largely. It will do no good now to stop to check up every minor failure. Indicate with a passing gesture the error and go on with the big idea. Give him and her visions of the t in terms of noble principles and if the date of the cru- sades eludes them, never mind. Teach the greatness, the bigness, the won- ders and miracles of the physical and the spiritual worlds and go ahead. “That would be fine, but when & les- son like that is given and you ask for a definite item of information such as who and when and what you get no re- sponse. The adolescent boy and girl will soak up a story with the eagerness of a thirsty fish, but what does he or she get out of it? ‘They get what they need, a vision of the greatness, the beauty, the power of humanity. They ,et a sympathetic un- derstanding of life. They get growth, spiritual and mental. Suppose they can- not tell you about it in words. They cannot, of course, because thoughts of youth are too deep for words. nce, inarticulation, do not always imply ig- norance. We are not talking examina- tion ratings as our goal when we teach adolescents. (Copyright, 1929.)

Be- ing a professional chemist, I appreciate the definiteness of your feeding instruc- tions. Here is a suggestion that may prove helpful to your readers. In lieu of a utensil made for the purpose, the common can opened is splendid for lift- ing sterilized bottles from hot water. Insert the corkscrew end into the neck. it can ‘without touching.” Answer—That sounds fine. I under- stand this is really a corkscrew and not just a metal can opener? The can opener would do also. The danger of draining scalding water onto the sensi- tive fingertips is always present when one lifts out bottles. Mrs. W. T. G. writes: ‘Please tell your readers not to forget the other baby when making a fuss over the new one. Last year when our little grand- son came to see us the first time after baby arrived, every one made a fuss over the new baby. Poor little Bobby, who had been all in all, smoothed down his little waist and said, 'Me nice, too!’ I gave the company the tip, and from that time on we saw to it that the little darling had his share of attention.” Answer—Mothers seem to be par- ticularly blind to the evidences of jeal- ousy displayed by their older children after baby comes into the household. They do notice how different the child acts. They observe that he refuses to feed himself and demands to be fed; that he often begins wetting the bed again or soiling his clothes in daytime. He has inexplicable tantrums. He sug- gests that the baby be sent back or that mother cut his head off, or he pinches him when no one is looking. Yet they never fathom the new situation and the new behavior. It is a great blow to any child who has been the center of attraction to step. back into second place. He finds suddenly that after having been told he is a big boy now, being a big boy has no advantages except being left alone. The baby, with all his baby habits, gets the attention. The better he is the less attention he gets, his mother devoting just that much more time to the baby. So big boy reverts to his baby habits, screams, won't feed himself, and acts in general just like a baby, hoping he’ll rofit by it and put himself back into is old position in the house. Instead he gets paddled. ‘The mother should show the older child her appreciation of his new big boy or girl status. Encourage him by leaning on him, asking his help with the baby, sharing the joy of the baby. She mustn't forget that he is still small enough always to need a constant re- assurance of her love for him. And never, no matter what the provocation, should the mother compare him unfa- vorably with the baby. *By such fore- sight she avolds any cause for jealousy and every one is happy. _ AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. be set down “Ella just thinks John's a light eater because she cooks things she likes an’ he don't, and he ain’t got the spunk to fuss.” (Copyright, 1920.)

It is needless to say again that the back view is very important; in many ways it is as important as the front view. Certainly, on the average, as many people walk behind you as walk toward you, as many ple look at you from in back as from the front. Your back should be as easily recog- nizable :l'nl your face and at least as good-lool A You must take great pains to see that your back is always nice-looking. If you go sufficlently often to a hair- dresser, the back of your head will always look well. Indeed, if you W the ugliest face in the world, there never an_excuse for the back woman's head to be anything but af tractive. Hfll‘ hlg can be nul:ely trim- med, properly shampooed, glossy and well by ed. Then there is the back of the neck. You should never let the skin grow ugly here; you must rub it with cold cream when you rub your face and scrub it in your bath with a bath brush and plenty of hot soapy water. When you put on evening dresses, you must use vanishing cream on it and powder, which means that you must wear a light color silk scarf to protect the collar of your evening coat. 1If the back of your neck is not - looking, you have one blessed lm- vantage—you can have all your dresses cut high in the back and wear a collar that comes at least part way up over your neck. This season lingerie touches on dresses are very fashionable, so even your old collarless clothes can be al- tered and your back view smartened by_the addition of a fashionable collar. You have another advantage this season. Even the prettiest legs do not look particularly pretty from the back. ‘The new evening dresses go almost to the floor behind, and even day dresses are well below the knees. The &ennul darker tone in stockings makes the I and ankles look slimmer—there nothing worse than the rear view of fat legs. Mrs. H. C.
