I am sure you | marking off the toj will want to make one to go with a simple Autumn dress. Your dress may be of heavy silk crepe or, better still, of very lightweight wool crepe, and the collar ‘may be of silk crepe or satin. Batin-faced crepe is a gcod choice. ‘Whatever material you choose, you will need two colors, one for the outside collar and the lining of the jabot and the other for the lower collar and the outside of the jabot. The measurements for the collar in the sketch are as follows: ab—6 inches, ac—16 inch inches. with curved and s‘raight Bxies as indicated.

For the upper section of the patiern, cut alorig the broken line. Use the gauge to mark off the se-tions num- bered 1, 2, 3. 4. Place it an inch frcm each edge when marking it. Thus the top collar will be 3 inches deep at its deepest, 1 at its narrowest. The dotted line across the pattern marks the quar- My Neighbor Says: A fork is the best implement to use when making mayonnaise dresstug.

She probably has had varied interests in her life, helping to develop her charm. The upward swing or curl of the let- ter endings leads us to expect a good humored, pleasant person. = The large loop of the capital “I” may indicate some degree of egotism or vanity. If the other capitals were not fairly large also we could be more sure of these traits. It will be well for her to observe herself and see If she may have these faults.

Although she is ambi- tious and aspires to the higher things in life, she will not spend her time in day-dreaming. She will keep her feet firmly on the ground and not go walk- ing in the clouds.

No matter how strong our faith in human nature, we begin to doubt the probity of those who will not or do not pay their bills. When re- | minders anger them, we think—"gullty | conaciences.” Generally, we find that honest women never believe for a moment their honor is doubted because of such demands. To | them a reminder of a debt or bill is a | purely business-like procedure which i | forms them formally of their deli | quency. ‘There may be some perfectly | Teasons for that delinquency. | "It tsn't extraordinary for some of us | to find a shortage of cash, bills more | pressing than others, or a delay before | payment of our regular income, inter- fering with the payment of our bills.

None of these causes are things to worry over. If delayed payment oc- casions duplicate bills we may merely file them in & routine way, without feeling that our honor has been im- pugned. In social life as well as in commercial life, the indiviGual who does not meet a fair demand for payment with a fair explanation generally breeds doubt about her honesty. There is nothing in- sulting about a civil demand for an amount owed for goods or services re- ceived. Only the guilty or oversensi- tive can find an insult implied. The woman who insinuates or charges that one is “no gentleman.” or “no lady” because he or she makes a cour- teous demand for payment is usually & woman attempting to impose on men and women more honorable and fair than she. And so it is the guilt in the debtor's mind rather than the hurt in the creditor's demand that offends. K.

Experimental psychology is demolish- ing one foolish notion after another, especially pet notions about the mental nature of human beings. To take an example: Since the World ‘War there has been a lot of talk about this being the “young man's age.” The glories of war tend to exalt youth. Esti~ mates about the abilities of young men, their capacity to learn, their leadership, etc, have been linked up with their ability to withstand physical hardships. Psychologically speaking, there never has been a young man's &ge, nor is there likely to be one. Every age has been an “old man’s age” and every age to come will be the same. It stands to reason that nothing but experience, long period of time, can really equip a man's mind for the business of making adjustments to life. good and wise men of that age. You will find more and better men, so far as mental abilities go, somewhere in the 60s, and even later. All this despite the ravages of general physical in- capacities and of death. Experimental psychology has proved beyond all doubt that the average man at 45 is just as plastic mentally as his son of 15. They learn the languages Jjust as readily, and, if anything, a lit- tle better. Such psychological facts mean something. The mind does not harden with the arteries, nor does it become twisted merely because its pos- sessor develops cyrvature of the spine. (Copyright. 1931.) Chilled Diced Fruit.
