WOMAN’S PAGE. Small Muffs and Matching Capes BY MARY MARSHALL. Its a season for small furs. For several years we have wern fur coats, and fur collars on our cloth cpats, but we have contented ourselves | with keeping our hands tucked up our sleeves or else we have just let them freeze. ) To present vogue, which will be gocd NEAVR AR E S |don’t take much fur, either. all Winter, of wearing matching collars and muffs, will zrmnly make our hands far more cofnfortable than they have been for a long time, without the maneuvering of past Winters when we tucked them in sleeves and ccat edge. Many of the muffs of this year have deep capes to match. Quaint, they are, as well as comfortable. A shaped cape over the shoulders and a nice little muff over the fingers. Most of the new muffs are fairly small, many of them melon shaped. They are made in all furs, but the short-haired furs fit in best with their style and shape. It may be that you have on hand fur encugh for a muff and collar set. The collar need not be larg>—capes are not essential. Just an ascot or boa- shaped collar. And the little muffs An old coat might yleld encugh unworn fur for such a set, which could be made by any skillful tailor who understands working in furs.

THE EVE Everyday Psychology BY DX:‘;»FSI W. SPROWLS. Impulsive behavior is life-movement. In some forms life-movcment is simple; in others, extremely complex. A tree grows. It has an impulse to grow. The impulse is a vital force for which no one has as yet accounted. A geranjum in the window turns to- ward the light. That is a specialty in its life formula. The impulse to turn is called a light tropism, Chemistry may one day explain it. An amoeba is a little more complex. It specializes in two submovements; moving toward satisfying things and away irom annoying things. Still the dual movement is called a tropism. Physics end chemistry together may one day give a complete account of this action and reaction, this search for pleasure and avoidance of ‘pain, this impulsive behavior. In the case of human beings, the life- movement may take on thousands of submovements, impulsive acts. There really is no limit to the variety. Im- pulsive acts on the human level are |said to be due to instincts and emo- | i Chemistry will explain some o: | thom, digestion, for example. Physics | will explain others, such as breathing. A host of other actions and reactions are explained by psychology. Anger | gives rise to an impulse to strike; fear, !to run away; love, to approach. CHILDREN BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

That is why it seemed |as if the stones themselves must be | barking. I wonder how many more |like vou I have failed to see.

It seemed as if there | must be at least a dozen little barkers | hidden among the rocks. In the light {of his present knowledge he carefully turned his attention to his little neigh- bor on the rock, for he didn’t want to lose sight of him.

Burgess. mouth open and he heard that funny bark, but strange to say the sound didn't seem to come from that rock at all. Neither did it seem to come from as near as that. The same thing hap- pened over again. He saw that little mouth open and he heard the bark, but the latter seemed to come from another direction altogether. Once more understanding came to Farmer Brown's Boy and the secret of that barking all around him was out. “I do believe you are a ventriloquist. You may not know you are doing it, but you throw your voice so that it seems o come from anywhere but where it really does come from,” said he. “That must fool your enemies a lot of times just as it fooled me. Per- haps there are not so many others | around here as I thought must be the casé. I know who you are now. You are little Chief Hare the Pika, whom some folks call Cony, and I_certainly am tickled to see you. I hope you won't be too bashful, for I want to know you a lot better. I wish you would ‘tell me how many more Pikas there are on the rock slide.” Of course, Little Chief did nothing of the kind. As a matter of faci, there was but one other, and that was Mrs. Little Chief, who was barking from a hiding-place down among the rocks. Al those voices Farmer Brown's Boy had thought he heard were but | two, Little Chief's and Mrs. Little Chief’s. Farmer Brown's Boy had be- gun to suspect this now, but, of course, he wasn't sure. Little Chief Hare, to give him his full name, although he is not a Hare at all, was about the size of one of Peter Rabbit's bubies when they first begin to hop about in the dear Old Briar-patch. He had round ears in- stead of long ones and seemed to have |no tail. His legs were short. But as | he sat_there on a rock he looked very | much like a small Rabbit. Seeing him | for the first time you might have mis- taken him for a young Rabbit. His home is among the rocks, for | I'there only does he feel safe.

It was then that Farmer | Brown'’s Boy decided that they had | been responsible for all that barking.

At the tip of the body are three brown spots. They have biting mouth parts, and are very clever in getting about on their eight legs, prolegs and tail claspers. ‘When his life of creeping and crawl- ing is about to end, the caterpillar spins a papery coccon on the surface of a leaf. In this wrapper he drops to the ground. All Winter he lies on the ground. So inconspicuous is the little Tolled leaf that he is rarely disturbed. After you know them you search eagerly among the fallen leaves and carry the &leeping one home. ‘There are not enough of these leaf eaters to do more than thin the trees. So they have not become a problem. They are very lovely, and have been referred to as “Filmy shapes that haunt the dusk.” (Copyright, 1931.) THOSE cobwebby stockings, just a bit of mist over the slim curve of the leg—do you know that you can make them really wear? They're knitted with incredibly delicatethreads, but here’s the amazing thing: When the stocking is new, each silken thread is elastic, like rubber—it gives, doesn’t break, under strain. Stretches and comes right back again into shape! But when elasticity is destroyed the threads are life- less as old rubber. Ready to break into runs at the least strain—a bend of the knee, a pull of the garter. Apt to sag—causing wrinkles, crooked seams. Thatis why Lux is made to preserve elasticity. So if you'll follow the Lux way each night it won't be the least bit extravagant to wear very sheer stockings every day—they'll always look lovely and they'll really lasz! “Well, I've had my party and there isn’t a crumb of that four- layer cake left, and they kept me busy making waffles until I thought they would never get enough. “Of course, it Was a Self-rising Washington Flour party—and the first party I ever gave when I was the maker of the dainties. The girls took it more or less as a matter of course. But John’s Aunt Millie kept asking ‘How did you ever learn to do it? You sly girl, you always said you couldn’t cook, and I want to tell you I never ate such delicicus waf- fles, and the layer cake was better than any I ever made, and I thought I was scme cook. “So after the girls left I brought out the sack of Self-rising Washing- ton Flour and the Washington Flour Cock Book and set them down in front of Aunt Millie. ‘There you are; there’s the whole truth about your nephew’s wife’s cooking.” “What do you suppose she did, the dear old soul? She said, ‘Come out into the kitchen and let me try my hand at some of this Self-rising baking. I never heard of biscuits ~without baking' powder.” “She put on my kitchen apron, rolled up her sleeves and sailed in to make biscuits for dinner according to that wonderful receipt book, Before she realized it the dough was ready, and just as John slipped-his key into the front door she put the pan of biscuits into the oven. “I think she was a bit skeptical about the result, but she didn’t say anything, and when we sat down to dinner she said to John, ‘I have made you some of those biscuits of mine you used to like so much,’ ‘and brought them on. “John ate one, then a second, and then he looked up and said, ‘Auntie, you are stringing me. These aren’t your biscuits; they are wifey’s— made with that magic Self-rising Washington Flour. You can’t fool me, with that flavor and all.’ “Auntie ’fessed up—and what do you suppose? She had a barrel of Self-rising Washington Flour shipped up to her home in Vermont, She said, ‘I'll show those natives something they don’t know.’ “Anyway, Self-rising Washington Flour scored another hit.” MENU FOR A DAY.
