They have chosen details here and there so as to retain the simplicity and smart- ness that are essential to modern women. Where ruffles appear they are dis- eretely used. If you are tall and slen- der, you may wear a ruffied collar to advantage. new ruffied collars that you can easily make yourself. To begin with, you must make the ruffie once and a half as long as the edge where it is to ap- ar. It should be not more than two ches wide and finished on one edge with & narrow rolled or plain hem. ‘Then mark the other in even quar- terse and gather each quarter with a separate double gather tring.

It 1s safe to say that most people are extraverts, at least in some degree, for extraversion means sociability. Most persons entertain a great deference for others, especlally for groups. The adolescent period (between 14 and 20) is the time when extraversion shows up strongest. Then the indi- vidual makes his contacts with groups. Then about 80 per cent of the church population is made. Most boys begin to take interest in clubs and “gangs.” while girls get the idea they would like to be missionaries or nurses or some- thing else of a similar social nature. The following traits characterize the extravert: 1. Tends to become a public servant: |the United States Congress is full of | extraverts. | 2. Rarely puts forth new ideas, but is quick to follow and apply the ideas of others. and this helps 3. Usually versatile, {him get out of difficulties. | "4 Interested in outdoor games that attract large erowds. | 5. Goes regularly to church or other | organization, and is restless until he | gets & hand in running it | side of any question. 7. Prequents restaurants, clubs theaters. 8. Does a great deal of thoughtless gossiping about his neighbors. ” 9.

' INSECTS OF THE BIBLE. | QU will have a hard time con- | vincing a bug-chasing farmer | or insect-harassed gardencr, that the verse in the Bible | about man “having dominion over everything that creepeth” Is true. | He agrees rather with the entomolcgists | that the insects ruled first and they are | { trying to get back their possessions. | ! 1 cannot see why the insects don't | use discretion. Without the farmer to raise the juicy sweet corn for him and his great family, what will the corn| borer do? Possibly start a bread line toward the wheat flelds. The grasshoppers seem to live to hold conventions in States which have not refused them entrance. If all the wheat growers are starved, what will these visi- | tors subsist on? They are so determined | to kill off the very ones who are work- ing to provide them with food. As far as I can see, they are mighty short- sighted. | St. John got even with the locusts by eating them, and our little friend, the honey bee, furnished the honey. = Her family did not starve and has flour- ished even to this day. The cankerworm takes first place in number of references to insects in the Bible—17 of them. I think they dubbed worms and grubs by this name. No doubt, from all I can find, many of these so-called . cankerworms were the | | grubs of beetles. Knowing that there | are 150,000 species of the beetle famil; | T believe that some of them were busy in hose days. The clothes moth was a problem, and y garments . must | | There is no mention of moth balls and | {dry cleaning as a preventive, but the warning of not having too many gar- { ments on hand leads one to believe they did not have these conveniences. There are 13 mentions of the locusts. | When a man was inclined to break the law and could not be brought to time h- was not told that he would be arrested or fined. The greater punishment was held over him, and that was a vieit from the locusts. This seems to have been enough to cause the man to accept their terms. | Joel surely had his troubles with the | insects. Pirst the Palmerworm came along. Before they could get another | crop in or salvage the last one the locust arrived. Then followed the canker- worm, and the writer says: “The cat- erpillar took the rest.” Joel had his vineyard destroyed, most likely by Lhei ape-aphis. The trees were defo- ted by the caterpillar, and his fields | and corn wasted. He makes mention of the fact that the caterpillars ruined his pomegranate trees. His apple trees were the victims of one of the borers. He further states that “even the herds of cattle were perplexed. When we are forced to stay home from a fishing trip or & good show and use the spray , we should at least be grateful we h: sdvanced on the de- vastating host and are armed As the caterpillar is the son or daugh- ter of the moth or butterfly, this gives us the knowledge that they, too, were present. i (Copyright. 1931.)

In order to relieve those who are neither hypos nor hypers, we'll propose another division of mankind into types today, according to the predominance of the sympathetic or the vagus portion utonomic or involuntary nerv- {ous system in the temperament and | make-up. Pray do not be frightened if you | don't understand what the sympathetic or vagus portion of the involuntary or autonomic nervous system is. As we proceed you'll see it doesn't matter and I'm not sure I understand much about it myself, only I rather like to roll these impoesing terms off my chest now and then, being a doctor. Suffice to say that the autonomic nervous system pre- sides over functions which are beyond control of the will, such as the beating of the heart, the regulation of the breathing and the secretory functions of the ductless glands. This autonomic nervous system is composed of the sym- pathetic portion on the one hand and the vagus portion on the other, and the one portion acts to antagonize, balance or steady the other.

Your real rcason, of course, is not so much that you want to have your social debts canceled as that you want to maintain the friendshjp of people who have entertained you and that you feel you ought to do your share. It is always a mistake to be too hasty or too systematic in the matter of re- turning social obligations. For instance, if a number of persons have at different times entertained you at dinner, it would be foolish to assemble exactly the same number of persons at dinner at your housegsimply to return obliga- tions when tHey might mot be in any way congenial. Occasionally one is vited to one of the obligation-paying parties. There you would meet people who would probably not get together under any other circumstances—people of varying taste and varying culture. Roast Pigeon. Clean the pigeons well and singe | them.
