WOMA N’S PAGE. THE EVENING Sunshine for Yourself and Others BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The playwright, Sir James Barrie, who has brought much pleasure to mil- lions of persons by his whimsical plays, full of the understanding of human nature, says: “Those who bring sun- shine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” This is worth thinking about, ani D\ A, ORI IIT B ] o LAY % O " from behind mental clouds.

CXXXVIIL TOAD BUGS. Gelastocoris Oculatus. N the banks of a muddy stream, in damp marshes or on_the edges of ponds, these little toad bugs may be found. They dress to harmonize with the soil on which they live. Some of them are a reddish brown, some a slaty blue, | while others are a mottled sand color. This is a great blessing to them and| protects them from their enemies. Of | course, it is hard on the insects upon | which they prey. To be so clothed that | no one can detect your presence and to | ave the ability to leap high into the| ir when your enemy comes near gives ‘the toad bug double advantage. {1and with a squirming insect held close | cover what at first appears to be a toad ! investigation you find out the truth and | surface of the earth and seek their food in the same way their parents do.

The clouds are worry, fear, discouragement and negative thoughts. Happiness dispels them for one cannot be happy and be worried fearful, or discouraged, at the same time. Neither can one be truly gay and be unhappy. No person can see things in a glowing colorful light without this mental sun. It is an at- tribute of life. Sir James Barrie's statement sug- gests & pleasant remedy, a method of rellef from one's own ennul and de- pression.

OU have seen men who were avidly interested in everything pertain- ing to food, demanding (or requesting) that their wives have this or that fa- vorite dish, regardless of the time re- quired to prepare it. For some reason women gladly give in to these gustatory whims, often work- ing themselves to a state of happy dish- evelment in order to satisfy the tastes of the lord. But there is another type of man about the house who, although fond of good food, is vaguely disturbed by the trouble it causes the cook. If the meal takes too long in the making, or too many pots and pens seem to be in- volved, or if the wife comes out of the kitchen with flushed face and an air of having slain the seven dragons of cook- ing, these men see no virtue in the feast. Far better, in their eyes, a simple broiled chop, a baked potato, an ear of corn and ice cream from the drug store than all this bother about complicated dishes so soon disposed of. A man who wants a definite some- thing, no matter how much time and labor are involved, or he is of the sec- ond sort. If the latter—and there are many of them—do not make the mis- take of catering to good cooking alone. Seek menus and dishes that will be de- liclous, nourishing, adequate without being difficult and time-taking; arrange meals so that you can serve them with the least amount of fuss . . . and that man will think you a much more won- derful cook than Mrs. Neighbor, who! labors three times as much.

No matter where psychologists turn for their explanations of the minds of living things, there is in the end a strong temptation to generalize. That's because all the facts of even an appar- ently simple aspect of mind are multi- tudinous and complex. Psychological generalization once made use of the term “instinct.” Thirty years ago psychologists found (?) an instinct for anything and everything. One of these inherited traits is known BY DR.
