WOMAN'’S PAGE Business and Domestic Ideas BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ~ Many a woman with a career comes) tion for just so much time from serious, @lso under the heading of “homemaker,” @5 th: takers of the census have learned. o run a home and a business is a com- bination known to a surprisingly great pumber. This is the case sometimes through choice and sometimes through | necessity; that is to say, some women will not give up their homes and go to EX MENU RECORD CAN BE U: TO ADVANTAGE AS DESIRED WHEN THE HOME- MAKER IS ALSO A BUSINESS ‘WOMAN. @ hotel or to board for other reasons than that uf expense. The things that home means to them are too cherished o be sacrificed. If & woman is not already a good fexecutive, such a situation makes her ©one, or else the scheme has to be abol- ished. The thing that is particularly difficult is to keep the emphasis be- tween the two correct. Where there is mot a hired housekeeper or another member of the household who assumes the entire responsibility of running the house, the conflict between home and office is extreme. One suggestion tried by a woman who played this dual role with success is ve: today. Ordering by post card the grocer or butcher is a time saver, to mind quickly the articles of food needed for a chosen meal, keep a record book*of menus en- joyed in your home. If this is suffi- ciently varied, the task is compara- simple. In referring to it you sy be open to repetition, but consider how much repetition of diet there is in boarding house menus. woman who has tested it will find the value of such a system. Not that menus are hard to concoct to those whose minds are on household duties only. But the mind which has to grasp affairs of or professional na- ture deserves to be uninterrupted by such concerns, as they divert the atten- bread-winning considerations. One advantage that the business woman who spends her days away from home has over the ordinary homemaker is that she is out of the way when the cleaning is being done. Although there are disadvantages to this, there are ad- vantages also. On such days as that, the menage is always disorganized, and the housewife sometimes feels almost as tired from the confusion as she would from the actual work of doing the cleaning herself. To be entirely sep- arated from it relleves at least this amount of strain. (Copyright. 1930). American Chop Suey.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, MAY 8 1930. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Learning. Why is it that people differ so enor- mously in their abilities to remember things they have learned? The lay- man, of course, always has his explana- tion, usually in terms of special abilities of one sort or another, which are taken to be congenial receptors for certain materials. This question of memory attracted the attention of a famous psychologist some 40 years ago. He made an ex- haustive investigation of the subject, and came forth with some laws of learning which seem to have stood the test of time. This man was a German named Ebbinghaus. In order to rule out all reference to special abilities and con- genial materials, he used nonsense syllables—material which had no mean- ing for his learners. Ebbinghaus found that the more ma- terial there is to learn, the harder it is to learn. This seems simple enough, but it has a significant bearing upon how to go about learning something you wish to retain. He discovered something that every school boy can tell you: We tend to remember the first and last, and to forget the middle part of any passage. ‘This led to what might be called the law of “wholes.” ‘The best way to learn something well is to go through it from beginning to end at every repetition. In other words, the attempt to learn a part at a time is poor mental economy. You have too many beginnings and endings to_connect up. Ebbinghaus also found that a person learns better, if he distributes his repe- titions over long periods of time, rather than attempting through concentration to learn al at once. So if you have any- thing to learn, take it easy. Repeat it a time or two, do something else, and then come back to it. It seems that the mind it another way, ascociations have to have a chance to be organized. (Copyright. 1930). she loves me. afford to on her.

When Great Folks Turn Petty Glodsmith Grows Angry at Johnson, When Autocrat Won't Let Him Enter Conversation. BY J. P. The company dining that day with Edward and Charles Dilly, booksellers, included Dr. Samuel Johnson, Dr. Oliver Goldsmith and Johnson’s biographer, Boswell. As usual, Dr. Johnson dominated the conversation, vastly to the annoyance of Goldsmith, who had a mind to shine, too. The little man incessantly desired to be conspicuous. He was not content to rest on his great literary reputation, but hoped to excel in conversation, too. Strangely, he who wrote so lucidly in great compositions seldom appeared to advantage when he talked. He was jealous of the precedence generally yielded the scholarly Johnson. When the conversation at table revolved | about that person—it was an argument about toleration, by the way—and he found he simply could not break in, he became much agitated. He took up his hat to go away, but lingered a while, hoping he yet would find an opening. It came presently, but when he spoke | the thunderous voice of Johnson over- | powered him. | Goldsmith boiled up. He looked an- grily at Johnson, threw down his hat in front of him, and said passionately, “Take it!"” DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—I was and perbaps still am under the impression that girls expect certain things from their boy friends—candy, flowers, theaten tickets and other forms of entertainment—in fact, that most of them have demanded these things and if they were not forthcoming the young man was speedily relegated to the background. Now I am very much in love with a girl who says ‘We both work. My salary is very small and it requires thought to make it go as far as I can stretch it. My sweetheart doesn’t mind spending her own money on good clothes and good times, but hesitates at allowing me to spend even the small amount I can like to go Dutch on treats and prefers Somehow I can't ‘What 15 the matter with her? Answer—You are not only “all at sea,” son, you are absolutely sunk if you haven't enough intelligence to perceive that you have had the luck to have a girl of rare unselfishness fall in love with you. I think your letter is pitiful because it proves that your experience with girls has shown them to be so grasping and greedy that you expect nothing of pect, to have to pay your Way as you go, and you have no conception of a girl whose lcve for you is not self-seeking. You cannot understand a girl who loves you for yourself alone and who puts your good before her own pleasure, a girl who cannot bear to have you send her flowers when she knows that you have to skimp on your lunch money to do it, who cannot endure that you should take her to a night club to dance when it means that you must wear broken boots or do without the mew suit It is DOROTHY DIX. I have known her for young lady, Do you think a girl is ev;r justified Answer—It is no indication that the girl is forward and bold because she popped It just shows that you are slow or dumb or something, and that she got tired of waiting on you. Some men are like that. They monopolize a girl's time and give eves in- but they never come to the point. never mention marriage. So what is a poor girl to do? She doesn’t want to go on wasting her sweetness on the desert air when it isn’t going to get her any- where. And she wants to know where she stands. the man means business or whether he is just one of these perpetual petters who make love and say everything except the important thing, which is, Will you be She wants to know whether ‘Why shouldn’t a girl propose? What is there immodest about t?

GUNN. “That I might by all means save some.”—I Cor., ix.22. ‘Through letters that come to me from readers of these dally talks, I hear of all sorts of troubles and tragedies. ‘These letters come from all parts of the country. Some of them relate pathetic stories of home broken up by domestic infidelity. Many of them tell of a hard tug and strain under heavy burdens im- by some misfortune or affliction. ‘What can I do about all thif? Cer- tainly T can't straighten out things for all these people, but I can cheer and comfort them a little. Because there is so little I can do against so much, I will not make that an excuse for not trying to do anything. If I cannot dis- pel all the gloom and sorrow of which these letters tell, I will do my best to dispel as much of it as I can.
