Characteristics THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, of Silhouette BY MARY MARSHALL. Starting out as we did with much talk about the Second Empire period as an influence in present-day dress, it is decidedly interesting to see that we have arrived at a somewhat later period. Second Empire, as you know, means Empress Eugenie and the years before 1870, when she shored the throne of have most influence, at least so far as dresses are concerned, is the period of the 1880’s, when the silhouette was as slender in its own way as it is today. There is, of course, no real danger of a revival of bustles, but on evening dresses there are puffs that strongly suggest the 1880 bustle, and afternoon dresses are frequently finished with tied sash ends of a bustle sort. Very frequently the sash ends are attached to the at the front so that while they are drawn back they also draw back the dress, lifting it slightly upward toward the back, and producing the effect of flatness at the front of the waist that seems so desirable at present. Possibly you may not like this new silhouette, but usually it is all a matter of acquaintance. Once you become familiar with the undoubted charm and supple grace of dresses of this 1880 type, you will find them most attractive. Cloth-covered buttons are used much this year for trimming. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Humor. Psychologically speaking, humor runs 80 deep in human nature that no one really understands it. You know as much about the what and why of humor as you do of the tickle sense. You cannot very easily tickle yourself. Neither can you easily envisage humor ‘m isolation. Humor always implies & | social situation. | Of course, it can and should be said | that humor is a sort of compensation | for bad luck and hard times. It seems |that serious-minded persons face real- | | ity instead of indulging in frivolous |analogies, which constitute the sum 'and substance of every joke. It has been said that those who con- tinually indulge in humor are some- | what feeble-minded. Briefly, humor is in the ascendency when intelligence fades away. The only real business of |a clown is to take up time which might be wasted in thinking about serious matters. If Freud is right, humor offers no real relief. There is nothing gained in trying to get rid of troubles by laugh- ing at them. One does not evade painful issues by trying to forget them. How does it come that the world's truly great men found it hard to remember jokes? The answer to this question gives an in- | sight into the meaning of humor.

It was not of just grasses alone, There were the tender stems of | other plants, goldenrod, lupine, fire- weed, nettles and some berry bushes. “One needs variety,” said Mrs. Little | Chief. “No matter how good a food is, | one does get tired of it if there is no | change. Now these grasses are deli- | cious and make up the greater part of our hay, but they will taste all the better for having these other plants mixed in with them. Really, my dear, it is the finest hay we ever have put up, and there is plenty of it, even if the Winter should be extra long.” “True, my dear, and now that we have it all stored away we haven't a thing to worry about” replied Little Chief. “I don't envy any one in all the Great World. “Nor do 1” said Mrs. Little Chief. “We have everything that any one can | desire, a safe, comfortable home in the finest’ place in all the Great World, plenty to eat, our work for the season done and time to sleep, play and do whatever we want to. What more | could anybody ask?” “Nothing,” replied Little Chief. “I don’t know why Old Mother Nature should have favored us so. For in- | stance, just see how she covered the soles of our feet with fur. That makes | us sure-footed on slippery rocks, where most people would slip, and also en- }ables us to run about without making |a sound, to say nothing of keeping our | |feet warm in cold weather. No, sir, I| |don’t see how any one could ask for more than we have. Now, as you know, these little people were living on or in a rock slide, s | great jumble of rocks and stones high up on the side of a mountain, where no trees grew and where the cold winds | swept across from snow-covered peaks. | To most folks it would have been the most_dreary and inhospitable place in all the Great World. Let the Little | Chiefs thought it perfect, and because {they thought so and_were filled with | contentment it was. You see they had {learned how to live there and to make (the most of all that they had. As I have told you before, they looked | much like baby rabbits with round instead of long ears, but could you| have seen them working as Farmer Brown's Boy did you would have known at once that they couldn't be even dis- tantly related to Peter Rabbit, for they were altogether too thrifty for such & thing to be. There is no thrift in| Peter Rabbit or any of his family. MODE sy the only pad “like” Kotex is genuine Kotex | “ONE NEEDS VARIETY,” LITTLE CHIEF.

In dry sheltered places down under the rocks Mr. and Mrs. Little Chief had stored their hay. Not for a single day would they go hungry and wonder where the next meal would come from. Never would they have to go out in bitter weather to look for it. ‘The drifting snow would never get down into their under-rock home.

N olden days the visiting cle: was provided with room and and when he went on his way he received a present of more food. Flowers pay their officiating clergy- man with all the nectar they can drink and all the pollen they can carry. They send out their call by way of FZATURES, The Woman Who Makes Good et BY HELEN WOODWARD, as a frightened typist and who became one of the paid business women in America. competence. ‘Take Polly for instance, who writes me this letter: “Dear Helen Woodward: I am 20 years old. I am a telephone operator. I have had this position for & year. My problem is that when I am needed most I lose my head. I am in the best of health and hope to conquer this, I wonder if you could help me? “POLLY.” Hext time when such an emergency arises, Polly, figure to yourself that there are perhaps a hundred similar emer- gencies in other parts of your city. When you realize that and think how perfume and bright colors. As most. of the busy workers in the insect world are the women of the household, it seems more correct to say this is the visiting priestess you see on the flower's head or walking through the petal doors. Without the aid of these nectar seekers we would have practically no fruit, vegetables or flowers. ‘The bee goes into the flower’s cup seeking the hidden nectar. The pollen is showered upon her hairy coat. Upon entering the next flower, the llen from the last host is brushed off and mixed with the next host. In this way the marriage of the two flowers is accomplished. Bees and insects which enter flowers or steal the nectar are not all marriage priests. Some of them are taking food her clothes closet. ‘When she opened the door, flames leaped out. Leav- ing the hdooa‘:hide open, she ed mtwWhwetD. . Gtto tiiseKitclian to get a pail of water. When she came back the flames had spread all over the bed room. She was very angry with herself. She sald, “If T had just closed the door in- stead of hurrying off for water the fire wouldn't have spread so fast.” But sometimes people who lose their heads in small emergencies keep them in mighty disasters. And those who get completely silly in everyday mix-ups are calm and serene in the case of fire and earthquake. But that big test comes to few. You may as well go right on imagining yourself the heroine of fire and shipwreck.

Try to act | as though you were facing not an emer- gency, but an everyday occurrence. Of course, when you get older you won't get so excited about things and won't lose your head. And then you will not have nearly so much fun out of life. But in the meantime, while you are growing older, remember that the sudden rush of work is not so important s it seems to you. In the pliing mass of activity of the city, it is only a small | detail. Remember that and you'll keep cool. (Copyright, 1931.) “No elbow- grease for me without paying for it.
