In this case there should be one piece 2 inches long and 17 inches wide for the back with two pieces 6 inches wide and 23 inches long for the fronts, seams be- ing taken over the shoulders. For a useful little evening house wrap we would suggest making it of satin crepe or chiffon velvet which may be left unlined or lined with chiffon. The fur edge might better be omitted for MARSHALL. over the back and shoulders without covering the arms. To make the wrap, simply cut out as indicated in the diagram and if no lining is used have edges finished with narrow hem or machine picot. It is thrown over the shoulders with the sides open. Not only is it useful as a house wrap but it gives the extra warmth un- der a light evening coat or cape. And nothing could be easier to pack in the trunk or traveling case when you go on your Summer holidays. (Copyright, 1930.) i1 Summer.

Of course takes such a diagnosis seri- ously; no_doctor with a reputation to maintain would venture to report to the health authorities a fatality from “acute indigestion.” They would insti- tute an investigation immediately to determine what the doctor was trying to conceal, even if that might be ‘his own ignorance. I reckon I have answered my good share of calls at 3 a.m. to reassure vic- tims of galistones and the like who were anxious about “that gas pressing on the heart.” But the distress or pain victims of such illness suffer is surely not from the mere presence of gas in the stomach; likewise the disturbance of heart action that sometimes accom- ganc:: ‘:uch {llness is certainly ngt pro- uy )y gas pressure. sophomore medical student knows better than that.

Character, temperament, personality, conduct or mind works more or less mechanically. Psychologists have rec- ognized this fact for a few centuries. It has taken them all this time to find out just what some of the mechanisms are. No doubt they will find others as time goes on. As matters stand today, psychologists feel pretty certain about compensation, defense and conflict. These are the best known mental mechanisms. When you operate on the compensa- tion mechanism you are trying to make an adjustment between what you ac- tually are and what you would like to be, between what you can acquire and what you wish you had. Aesop was the first man to discover this mechanism. He reported his dis- covery in a fable entitled “The Fox and the Grapes,” to which you may go for articulars. You can get the modern dea of it by studying Dr. Adler’s “Un- derstanding Human Nature.” ‘The second important mechanism— defense—is really a compensation for compensation. All of which means that some people in their eagerness to “make " or compensate for what they can’t e i o e job. In brief, they overcompensate. Whenever they do so, they make frantic attempts to hide their disappointment. Such attempts look like defense mechanisms, which they are. The third mechanism—conflict— works in the opposite direction. In- stead of defending his disappointment a person merely keeps it to himself by harboring or repressing his feelings. But that doesn't keep them from stir- ring about. The repressed feelings clash. All sorts of queer character traits develop. NANCY PAGE Martha Sends Styles Direct From Paris. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Martha had reached Paris and sent Nancy many bulletins and sketches. Knowing that her small niece, Joan, was one of the prides of Nancy's heart, Martha chose little outfits which_ she thought Nancy ld duplicate. Here are her comments: “A darling little vel- veteen outfit I saw on a youngster rid- ing the merry-go-round in the Tuileries Gardens. The velveteen was black. So was the bonnet with scoop brim and chin strap. The coat was made with high fitted waistline and slight flare. Another child wore a citron yellow flan- nel jacket with edges and seams cro- cheted. It was fastened with cord and tassels. I am impressed,” wrote Martha, ulcer and now and then actual organic heart disease. (Copyright, 1930.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL The Daily Calm. ‘This 1s a highly stimulated sort of life we are living. The speed of it is star- tling. The noise and their latter and the rush are enough to drive us headlong through the hours. The children feel this and show the effect of it in their behavior. They are irritable, they cry easily, they talk rapidly and when ahmied they scream. “Such a high strung child. What is one to do?” Every household runs on some sort of . @aily schedule. Even if the house- has never sat down with pencil paper and made a daily program, there is one. A better one can be made by taking thought about it. On that schedule there should be a time for calm, for repose, a safe retreat. ‘The housekeeper, the homemaker, needs that time if she is to get through’| the day without losing gntrol of her- self and the household. It is not pos- sible to live at high tension for 12 or 16 fours housekeepers ‘aind home makers have long hours. without knowing ter- rible fatigue.

Some children take a nap and some don’t. - Give the one that refuses a nap something to keep him company and let him stay quietly in his bed, or in the hammock, or flat on the cool grass under the trees. According to the child, his rest period is to be adjusted. ‘The older children must not be over- looked. I have seen adolescent boys and girls run themselves ragged, breath- less, hysterical; known them to set the household by the ears and disrupt the work of the class room all because they had not been forced to pi m their day and allow for & period of compara- tive calm. ‘Thought is the force that makes our bodies go. We cannot stop thought, not even for a moment. But we can so di- rect thought that it will not drive the body to extremity of fatigue. Every thought we generate affects the body and tends to set it into action. This period of calm is to generate thought that will first soothe the body and then permit it to go into action with hgher power than before. Reading is one exercise for rest and recreation. It furnishes food for meditation. Music, not the music that need concentrated effort to produce it, but the music that leaks out of the finger ends as the mind dreams. Or listening to music.

The berets were white. The socks were white and the pumps were plain black ones. “The coats had inverted pleats. This is true of practically all of the tailored coats for children.

Somehow, every- body seemed too busy to talk to Peter. F. Y.—“Lots” is an overworked word.

When the woman comes to wash or clean they work harder than ever. They are so fearful lest the worker will not work to capacity that they follow her around, working and worrying all day long. If a dressmaker comes they feel that they must get their money's worth out of her, 80 they do all the tedious bits of work sewing on innumerable snappers and hooks and eyes and making themselves slaves to the sewing table from morn- ing to night. Very much more satisfaction would there be for the housewife if, when she did have some one to work for her, she rested, pretending that for her for the time being the 5 o'clock whistle had blown.

Peter cannot keep away from curiosity will not let him keep away. He was sitting where the ground was rather low and damp pear the head of the Smiling Pool. He had been sitting “It_is very stupid over here today,” said Peter, Of course he was talking to himself. “I wish something would happen. If . nothing happens pretty soon, I believe I'll take & nap.” Nothing did happen and presently Peter was actually dozing. He wasn't in a safe place at all. Presently, as he sat there dozing, the ground began to move under him. At least, that is the way it felt. Peter's eyes flew open. He looked hastily this way and that: then he grinned. “That must have been a dream,” thought he. “It certainly gave me a funny feeling. Yes, sir, it gave me 8 funny feeling. It made my stom- ach feel queer. It certainly must have been a——" Peter didn't finish. You| see, the ground did move under him agaifi. It wasn't a dream. Peter dis- g]r;:tly felt that ground rise beneath Peter was dozing no longer. His eyes were wide open—as wide as he could get them. He hastily jumped to one side and turned to look at the place where he had been sitting. “It is s0!” he muttered, quite as if he didn't believe what he was saying. “It really is so! The ground is pushed up right where I was sitting. What is more, it is being pushed up a little farther along.” It was true. Even as Peter looked the ground was pushed up in a little ridge. When he looked back to where he had been sitiing, he saw that that little ridge continued for some distance. It had been freshly pushed up. Peter began to chuckle. “Miner the Mole!” he exclaimed. “It is my old friend Miner the Mole! What under the sun is he doing away down here, and how did he get here? No wonder I was startled. Miner is digging one of his tunnels and he must be pretty close to BY THORNTON W. BURGESS the surface to push the earth up that way. He gave me a scare. Now I get even with him.

Having thumped two three times, Peter sat down in the shade of a big fern to watch. He suspectel /’? “MINER_THE MOLE!" HE EXCLAIMED. that he had frightened Miner the Mole 50 that he wouldn't work again for a while. “Probably,” thought Peter, “Miner has run back. That is what made the earth move a little back there. I don't believe he'll do any more digging here for a while. I guess I'm even with him now. However, I wish he would come out. It is a long time since I have seen Miner the Mole and there are some questions I should like to ask him.” But though Peter sat there for a long, long time, he saw no more signs of the little tunnel digger, who hdt tunneled right under him and so startled him. Finally Peter gave up and went about his business. (Copyright, 1930.) Straight Talks toc Women About Money| BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Misspent Genius. ‘We read today of a woman who man- ages nobly to get along with her family on $21 a week. Her household man- agement had been termed “wizardry” and when we examained some of the items of her household expenditures, we think she is either a wizard or a poor bookkeeper. At any rate, she has trained for a profession and she is a colleg: graduate. Even if she is doing what she is re- ported to be doing, she is misdirecting her genius. It always seemed to us that a woman who spends hours on end trying to pinch out some sort of a living would be far better off employing her talents in a productive way. ‘This particular woman has a potcntial earning capacity of about $45 to $55 a week, and yet she is content to stiug- gle along with her family on $21 per week by the dint of much scraping. Many a wife could go out and earn a decent living and work less arduously than she does at home. It would mean better living for herself, her husband and her family. Instead of having just enough, there would be a surplus and, what is more, should anything happen to her family, she would not be dependent on alms to keep her family fed, clothed and shel- dish In | tered, It may take a certain amount of genius to finance a family of five on $21 a week, but if one has the genius to do that, how much more she could earn in a commercial occupation! Perhaps she would free her husband from a rut, and give him as well as herself and her family, new hope. new freedom and new incentive. 4 The art of going without may be« come a fixed habit, and, after a whyle, thwart ambition. We should like to see this financial wizard fall into debt— into debt over her head. Then rhe might get out and earn what she should be_earning. Fewer women today than ever befors are satisfied to “get along” on what- ever meager salary their husbands may bring in. They recognize the fact that better living and a brighter [future awaits the woman who is qualified and able to earn a livelihood. O TR AT Foliage Decoration.
