WOMAN’S PAGE. Freshness and Color in Scarfs BY MARY MARSHALL, 1t is time to take inventory of your stock of scarfs, During the warmer months you may have worn them, but Qsually more for ornament than be- cause you nceded their protection, but now they are something more. There are days when merely the additional warmth of a scarf will make it possi- ble to wear a certain dress which other- wise might seem too cool without a coat. | Besides that, an attractive scarf some- | time does almost as well as a new dress | because it adds the touch of freshness and color that is needed to give a new | lease of life to an old dress. Possibly interest in scarfs is not so keen as it was a year ago. You may a yard long and eight inches wide when finished. You may use the two most popular color combinations of the sea- son. That is, brown and red tile, or brown and green. (Copyright. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Here's a charming dress of flecked wool rayon voile, so smartly suitable for immediate and &1l Fall wear. Its simple lines gives it such & trim look. It has the new sleeve cut. The use of bows, that accent the slimming diagonal line of the bodice, gives it a feminine touch.

C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1931 MODES OF THE MOMENT Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. 7—-«4 i&i ':i.zzééj HIS writing indicates one who is very exact and precise. Every letter is made with very careful attention to form. Anything out of gllee, no matter how small, would’ probably be a source of great annoyance to her. For this reason she may tend to burn up valuable energy on unimportant details. She should try to conserve her strength for larger and more consequential work. The very heavy pressure on some of the strokes suggests a very determined person, She is possibly not vigorous in her determination, but perseveres in & quiet, little observed manner, until she accomplishes her goal. ’ The elaboration on her loop letters, if considered alone, might be an indica- tion of poor taste. This is hardly pos- sible in her case, however, because of the great individuality of all her letter forms. This is illustrated particularly in the way she makes “e” and “d.” 'We would expect her to be a keen ob- served of beauty. She might possibly refer man-made beauty to things ound in nature. She may have been trained in some type of artistic en- deavor. Quiet work would probably appeal to her more than that of a very vigorous nature. We might find graceful arrangement in her home, following a rather formal style. The French type of decoration would seem to appeal to her more than the simple early American. ote— panduwriting is ot an AT Slochrding to world Tn- wefigaiors, but all aoree it is interesting o G615 of fum. The Star resents the not have thought so much about them recently. But that is because there have been so many other things to think about and because dresses are somewhat more elaborate. But scarfs are every bit as smart as they ever were and as the season advances you will have need for many of them. ‘The scarf shown in the sketch, which is very easy to make, calls for crepe de chine in two contrasting colors or shades.

Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Hominess. Those psychologists who hold that “the child is father of the man” are able to support their contentions with a host of facts. In the first place, normal human be- ings are enormously sentimental in their psychological make-up. “There's no place like home’—the early but lasting environment for the majority of men and women. Lose the home attachment, and you gradually become asacial, Most criminals are recruited from the ranks of the street urchins, who have no lasting home sentiments among their early memories. Among the female criminals you rarely if ever find a biography that includes s rec- ord for good housekeeping. The average man or woman is un- consciously motivated by his or her father-mother-sister-brother complex. This is the most lesting of the home mental configurations, the most absorb- /mé SRLE, ascot tle ulp#d sleves. 3 Rlta. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. When Conflicts Are Avoided.

I wait until he makes the first move. There are times when he follows my cue and res me, then later with a sunny smile, he says, ‘Hello’ I made the mistake at first of putting him right into his high chair and serving rga breakfast. Now, instead, I suggest that he get his shoes or slippers, and when he brings them to me I walk away and sit down. He runs after me and puts up his feet for me to slip them on for him. “While he is adjusting himself to his new day, I prepare his. breakfast and by the time I am threugh he has discovered that he is hungry. After breakfast I do what I have found is doubly helpful to me. “First, I clear the kitchen table and cabinet. Then I wash the dishes and drain them and let David out of his high chair. While I wipe the dishes he stands beside me expectantly and I hand himyeach wiped dish and he goes carefully and puts it on the cabinet. ‘This keeps him pleasantly occupied for 15 or 20 minutes. “He is now able to carry a cup or saucer to the dining room without any wabbling. He has not broken nearly as much china for me as his daddy has. “After he is dressed, he is ready to go outdoors where he plays alone. If he comes in and is in my way, I give him sotmething to do to help me. He can help pick up, or dust, and he has taken upon himself the burden of picking up whatever he happens to FEATURES.

OWLING is again coming into its own. As the benefits and advan- | tages of this game are becoming rightly | understood and appreciated by women, | the number of bowling clubs with their tournament contests is increasing. Bowling exercises muscles rarely ibroulht inte action. It combines ex- ercise of muscles that every woman | wants to keep pliant, with a delightful form of recreation, and it is a sport not confined to the young. Any girl or woman who has never had systematic exercise, and who longs for social contacts, can attain both by patronizging a bowling alley. If you want to keep your figure young and pliant, if you want to keep your walst- line down and your back slender, bowl. who are naturally of slight build can remain so, gaining grace and suppleness in addition to slenderness, but the average girl finds that she be- At Bowling, Health, Beauty while heaviness through the hips either bespeak’s one's age or adds a number of years to the figure. In bowling, while the entire muscula- | ture of the body is actively engaged, the greatest strain is on the back and abdomen. Bowling corrects habits of slumping and slouching, and even minor de- formities of the back yield to the ex- ercisa of those structures of the back which the positions called for in bowl- ing bring into action. So, too, with the muscles of the waist, of the ahdomen and the hips, Under persistent bowling, a “high” stomach and mature abdomen fade away. The internal organs are mechanically mas- saged, so strengthening the process of digestion. Cottage Cheese.
