MAGAZ INE PAGE. Bows in the Spring Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL. OWS are in again. You'll see them in attractive guises at all the important fashion reviews and if you follow the fashions this spring you will surely wear them. Big, daring bows that dominate the entire dress, medfum sized bows | that add a contrasting color, and little bows thal are a mere detail. Bows at the back of evening dresses—directly in the middle of the back or a little to one side. Bows at the side, back or top | of the new hats. Scarfs tied in bows | under the n or at the side, long sieeves with bows at the wrists or short sleeves with bows above the elbows. Bows are often used to give fullness above the waistline. If you have slender build you wil find one of the new Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. The psychology of personality has in late years attracted the attention of an increasing number of students. Natu- rally some misunderstandings have de- veloped along with the things that are understood. Generally speaking, most people do not distinguish between weak person- alities and deficient personelities. Con- | sequently, there is, I find, much confu- sion even in scientific tréatises on the general subject, A weak personality is a personality that has taken tco much punishment, somewhere, sometime. That same weak personality may have at one time been & strong one. Give a weak personality & chance to redevelop and it will usually respond with a surprising gain of strength. A deficient personality presents an entirely different prospect. There is something lacking, rather than some- | thing that has temporarily ceased to function. The deficient individual failed to develop. Several theories have been advanced for the non-arrival of the deficients. According to one theory, the deficient | blouses with scarf collar tied in a gen- | erous bow at the front decidedly be- coming. One of the most interesting dresses in the collection of Luclen Lelong of Paris is made of sheer wool crepe closely fitted about the hips and waist with a narrow belt slightly above normal waistline. A very slender sort of dress | with walst and hip slenderness empha- | sized by 2 really enormous, many-looped bow placed at the base of the V-neck- line—covering the bodice nearly to the | belt and sleeves. The big bow is made | of mousseline de sole in two tones, one | to match the dress and the cther in a slightly darker shade of the same color. Today's sketch shows another inter- esting use of bows—a big satin bow | placed at the left front of the bodice. My Neighbor Says: A spoonful of kerosene added to a pail of very hot water will make wincows, mirrors and pic- ture glasses bright and clear. In washing windows use a small, clean cloth, wring it dry and rub it over the glass, after wiping down the framework with sn oiled cloth. Do the same with the next window on | both sides. After that go back to the first one and wipe it dry | | with a large, clean cloth. No | real polishing is required. A can of crushed pineapple added to left-over applesauce | | a delicious dessert. ng icebags in a sick room, instead of shaving ice each time you wish to fill a bag. to save time shave enough to fill a quart | pitcher and keep it in the re- | | frigerator. To prevent dough sticking to the spoon when making dump- lings, dip the specn into hot liquid each time before putting it into the dough. Star Patterns ! | Leg o’ Mutton Sleeves. Simplified illustrated instructions for | cutting and sewing are included with each pattern. They give complete di- rections for making these dresses. No. 169 has that chic something known as Parisian smartness. The pert tcoat effect buttons diagonally above the belted waist. Inserts at the kips mold snugly and fall into gracious fullness below the hipline. The sleeves are fascinating. From well-defined scalloped arm-holes, lace puffs in leg- muiion effect are insertcd. Haf way toward the elbow they contrast sharply with a snug sleeve of the same fabric as the rest of the dr This unusual sleeve gives plepty of shoulder breadth, and the lace adds a dainty touch that is distinctly feminine. Designed in sizes 14, 16, 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44. Size 36 requires 3% rds of 36-inch fabric, 3%; yarcs cf 39-inch fabric and % yard for contrast. | To get a pattern of this model send fifteen cents in coins. Please write very plainly your name and address, style number and size of each pattern personality is actually short on brain cells. A second theory holds that some | one or more of the endocrine glands | failed to secrete the usual amount of | hormones which supply mental energy. These two theories seem to be the best.
