w OMAN’S PAGE., Small Dot Designs on Smart Silks BY MARY MARSHALL. After several seasons of the most ex- fravagant sort of flowered designs and sprawling modernistic Sgures there is something especiall: small -dot designs that are used AN UNUSUALLY BECOMING COL- LAR OF SCALLOPED SILK CREPE some of the smartest of the new Sum- mer silks. Rather small dots, not too closely placed, on a dark background are especially attractive in combinations of white or ecru on navy blue or black. For practical addition to your Sum- mer wardrobe we suggest black and white dotted silk, made into a dress with short puffed sleeves, long, rather full, skirt and a collar with scalloped edges made of .white organdy, georgette or mull. Collars of this sort appear on a num- ber of the new Summer dresses and are not at all difficult to make. To cut a pattern, lay any simple flat collar that fits you on a paper and trace the out- line. It should be about 5 inches deep at back and sides, and the front should be extended in two tabs, as shown in the little sketch. Draw 2-inch-wide scallops round the-edges of the collar DAILY ‘DIET RECIPE = DATE WHIP. Gelatin, one tablespoon. Cold water, one-quarter cup. Lemon juice, one-quarter cup.

Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS Your Emotional Age. For some 25 years now, the “big guns” in psychology bave been talking about “menta) age.” Your mental age is sim- ply a numerical statement of how bright or dull you are in comparison with an assumed ‘“average” human being, Who has lived as long as you have. 1If, for example, you are 10 years old and can see through & “standard test” as quickly as the average 12-year-old, then your mental age is two years above normal. | The school teachers are led to suppose that you are in line for rapid promotion ! in schoal and out. | Scientifically, it is very Momentous as the mental age psy- chology is. it pales into insignificance in comparison with the recently-coined measurement called “emotjonal age.” Now what is your emotional age? This time it'’s a question of outlook rather than of insight. you quit lopking to the future. For example, children are all emo- tionally young, because they all want to grow up. They all look to the future. On the other hand, a 40-year-old, Who still demands of society the amount of attention his mother gave him when he was 6 or 8 years old, is emotionally old. He is looking backward rather than forward This emotional age psychology is as old as the hills, popularly speaking. ung. Whether anything measurabie will come out of it remains to be seen. The chances are that nothing really definite will come of it. The human emotions are vastly more complex than human intelligence. If 8 divided by 2 is less than 9 divided by 4, put an X in the parenthesis; oth- erwise put & Q. The answer to this problem s a test of intelligence eannot compare in complexity with the reason why some people find it imppssible to | sleep in the upper berth of a Pullman. (Copyright, 1930.)

May other schools follow this inspiring example, for that is the best education which best fits us for life, and the consensus shows that there is more profit to a girl in knowing how to arrange the little curls about her alabaster forehead than there is in being a highbrow, and that a pleasing address will carry a boy farther in the world than a ton of erudition will. Gone are the days when it was considered an indication of intellectuality for a woman to look like an untidy bundle that the cat had just brought in, and complexion. Gone, also, are the days when rough diamonds were in fashion and .a man was thought to show his virility and honesty by going sloppy and slovenly | and eating with his knife and having the manners of a boor. Nowadays we consider a woman a dumb Dora if she hasn't speed enough to keep up Wwith the styles and lacking in gumption if she does not use the means that a beneficent Providence and the chemists have put in her hand to Temedy than any real one. Also, we think her lacking in good, hard horse sense if she does not acquire the art of putting her best foot foremost and making herself | persona grata to her fellow creatures. | | Same way with men. The first thing every employer does when a lad applies to him for a position is to give him the once-over and make careful note of his personal appearance. The youth may have every virtue under the sun. de may be intelligent and honest and energetic and kind to his mother, but he will be passed up if he needs a shave and a haircut, if his collar is soiled and his clothes need pressing and his shoes cry aloud for a shine Nor is any youth ever slated for advancement with his firm, no matter how. competent he is, no matter how well he does his work, if he is surly and grouchy, if he snarls when he is spoken to and generally lacks a good approach. The world is full of men and women who are failures just because they did not know how to “sell” themselves or just because they did not have the right line or just because they lacked a knowledge of the niceties of polite soctety. Many a promising career has been wrecked on as small a thing as a fork or a spoon. All hail, then, to the school that proposes to develop the personality as well as the brains of its pupils. If it can teach them how to dress so as to make the most of their looks, if it can teach them a pleasing address and good manners, then it will, indeed, be entitled to bestow upon 'its graduates the degree of M. A. | For they will be truly masters of arts. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) BEAUTY CHATS that will help your scalp. The roots of your hair cannot be dead or your hair would not go on growing. In fact, such hair would drop out. BY EDNA KENT FORBES [ Hints for Pale People. If you are very pale or sallow and want, some quick temporary method of looking healthy you might try <this: Take & jar of ordinary white vanishing cream and very carefully add to it drop by drop a little Mquid rouge. You'll have to mix it in very carefully, blend- ing each two or three drops so thorough- ly that all the cream is an even pink before adding more. Put a little on the | skin, and if it lends it the least pinkish tinge you'll know you have a successful mixture. Choose & flesh-pink face powder, or if you are so dark that you use the ochre shades, buy a rose ochre. As your skin slready has too much yellow beware of all cosmetics having yellow in them. It is time we went back to the old-fashioned pink make-up. If you do not use vanishing erem it is better to use a liquid rouge. This will blend into your skin and seem to be & part of it. Dry rouge stands out from a sal- low face and never looks well. Liguid rouge, however, must be very carefully put on or it will go spotty. The cheeks will have to be powered twice after- ward. Of course, these are'temporary meas- ures. You can get sticky foundatien creams very much like theatrical grease paint. These are put on over a coating of cream, powdered, tinted and pow- dered again, until a natural effect is gained. They require slathers of cold cream and any amount of soap and water before the pores are really free. However, they cover ‘up the skin so thoroughly that its real color is com- pletely hidden. You can also cover your skin with calamine lotion, rubbing in the deposit of pink powder with a lamb's wool puff. Being soothing and antiseptic, this is a good skin treatment, and it also makes a good foundation for powder. Meantime do everything you can with diet, laxatives and tonics to overcome the sallow skin. R. E. M.—Dab a little peroxide on the red mark that followed the pimple you opened with & needle. If this does not help, you will have to wait a little longer until the mark disappears naturally. You probably irritated the skin, but that will heal if givcu time. Vivian—Brush your lashes and con- tinue to use the tonic on them. For the legs, massage the calves to help along the special exercises you are tak- ing to develop them.

Treatment for Dandruff. ‘The presence of dandruff usually in- dicates pretty clearly that one's scalp is not in a healthy condition, and unless very definite steps are taken to remedy the condition the hair soon loses its life. Any one troubled with dandruff should not neglect a stimulating scalp massage both night and morning. Make the mas- sage systematic and, if possible, allow 10 | minutes' time for it. Remember that massage means rotating the scalp—not | merely rubbing it. Place the thumbs at the sides of the head, over the ears. Then spread fingers of both hands over | the front of the scalp. Massage by ro- tating the scalp with the tips of the| fingers. Shift the position of the hands so that every part of the scalp will re- ceive the same treatment before the | massage is completed. i | Sunlight and air are very beneficial | to the scalp and hair and are particu- larly necessary when one is troubled with dandruff. Allow the hair to hang loosely for a short time every day, and now that Summer days are coming, it would be a ?ocd plan to let it hang loosely out of @oors so that the sun- shine and air will have ample oppor- tunity to get at it. The scalelike flakes of dandruff should be loosened from the scalp and removed by a circular movement with a clean fine comb. As they are freed from the scalp they should be brushed away with | a perfectly clean brush. The only way to b= sure that the brush is really clean first dividing the hair into small sec- 8. lons. The hot oil treatment is very good for getting rid of .dandruff. Melt to- gether one ounce of mineral ofl, one ounce olive oil and 10 drops of oil of tar. When the mixture has cooled suf- ficiently so that it will not burn the scalp nggly it with a small toothbrush along the partings in th> hair, In this way cover the entire surface with the warm ofl. Next wring out a Turkish towel in hot water and wrap it snugly Divide hair 1n small section around the head. When it begins to cool Agply another hot towel and o on until about six applications have been made. A good time to give the hot oil treat- ment is after the dandruff has been re- moved just before the snampoo. I shall be pleased to mail to those of my read- ers who are troubled with dandruff my leaflet on this subject. Please inclose & self-addressed, stamped envelope for mailing.and request leafiet. Shrimps on Toast. Make a white sauce with four table- spoonfuls of butter, three tablespoonfuls of flour, one and one-halt cupfuls of milk, half a teaspoonful of salt and a little paprika. Wash one cupful of shrimps, remove the dark veing and break the shrimps into pieces. When the sauce thickens add the shrimps to it, also one cupful of canned peas drained from the liquid and thoroughly rinsed. Cook all for about five min- utes and serve on squares of toasted bread. Garish with parsiey and a stuffed olive. then sterilize it in het water to which a few drops of disinfectant have been added. After the dandruff has been brushed out the hair showld be shampooed with a pure soap or a good liquid shampoo, such as an olive oil shampoo or a liquid tar soap. After rinsing well, dry by rub- bing with warm towels. 'During the drying process it is a good time to give | Any one troubled with dandruff should use a tonic on the scalp after the shampoo and onc: or twice & week | in addition. In using it after the| shumqm apply it before the hair is quite dry. The following tonic is a good one: One dram resorcin, two drams cologne water, four drams olive oil, one dram tincture of cantharides, eight ounces bay rum. Shake well and apply to the scalp with a place of clean absorbent cotton wrapped in gauze or a small toothbrush, What could you serve more .wisely than this?
