Flowered Organdie Party Frock BY MARY It is easy to make a doll's dress—this little girl's party frock of flowered organdie that is shown today, and all vou will need to make it is two yards of the figured organdie and three-quarters of:a yard of white organdie for the sash and collar. For a child of 10 or so the measure- ments of the dress are as follows: '‘The skirt is 60 inches around, and | from 15 to 17 inches long, according to | the height of the child and the desired lehgth of the dress.

If not, | ow often should they be used? ¥ A CONSTANT READER. Answer—(1) Squeeze out a handker- chief in hot water and wipe the outer parts of the ears. Now rub some soap | on the cloth and rub again. Repeat | several times. Do this every day and | I think the blackheads will soon dis- | appear. Finish the treatmert by wip- | ing with a cloth moisiened in an astrin- | gent lotion. Of course, be careful not | to get water and soap into the inner | parts of the ear. | (2) The ideal weight for a given | height varics with age.

It takes a long time to roll up & ball of string, but on the other hand it un- rolls itself as quick as anything if you keep on axsidently dropping it. This proves you haff to do a awful lot of things rite to make up for just a few mistakes. Anybody can put knotts in string but it takes a lady to get them out again, partly on account of their long patience and partly on account of their long fin- ger nales. Most peeple are more afraid of a-short tite knott than what they are of a long loose tangle. This proves meer size is not as impor- tant as ability. Some people always roll up short peeces of string neetly and save them, wich would be a even more useful habit than what it is if they could ony re- member where they put them. 1f you tie a knott insted of a bow in your shoestring they wont bother you by coming undid at different times during the day, but on the other hand they will bother you by not coming undid at nite. ‘This proves its a good thing to be considerate of everybody, because even a sheestring can have its revenge.

SPROWLS. ‘What Is Psychoanalysis? After some 20 years of voluminous writing and more voluminous talk about Freud and his system of psychology, that system is still misunderstood. What s psychoanalysis, anyway? ‘When Freud first began, psychoanalysis was the name he gave to a special method for investigating the human mind. He hit upon it while he was try- ing to cure his patients of attacks of hysteria. He found that all hysteriacs were troubled with memories. He also found that these memories might be “talked out” of their mental systems; i. e, the nrru:nt helped in psychoanalyz- ln%::elmu 3 n_came some ‘after - thoukhts. Freud elaborated his method into a the- ory concerning the structure of the mind. According to this theory, the more important part of the mind is un- conscious. ‘This unconscious part of the mind is partly inherited and partly acquired. Freud doesn't give the con- scious mind much credit for what goes on in terms of behavior. The great un- conscious actually compels us to be what we are. The philcsophy of free :lll is practically thrown into the scrap- eap. Then Freud went further. Psycho- analysls became a method for investi- gating the history of civilization. It be- came the handmaid of history. study of human culture was another story added to thé psychoanalytical structure of the mind. In order to understand psychoanalysis, you must undfstand Freud. He is combination of the phySician, the phi- losopher and the historian. (Copyright, 1931.) NANCY PAGE Judith Dresses Up Her Bed Room. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

DOROTHY DIX. Standard Photograph Frames BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. TOOLED LEATHER FRAMES AND THOSE OF COLORFUL ENAMEL ARE DECORATIVE. Memorial Day brings to remembrance those dear to us and who have gone to their Long Home.

An- other style in wood that is choice and artistic in beauty of workmanship and design is the hanc-carved frame, wide and with lace-like openwork.
