(Copyright, 193%) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. There are two kinds of thieves— those who steal because they want something, and those who steal be- cause they can't help it. The former type of thief is well known. There are ways of detecting him because his mind is usually an open book. There is something normal about the person who steals for the sake of gain. Thieves of the second class are rela- | tively unknown persons. They possess mental traits that are not found in the average mind. So they are said to be abnormal, and are treated now- adays as sick persons rather than criminals. They.are called pathologi- cal thieves. The queer thing about pathological thieves is the fact that they can’t give any reason why they do their stealing. If they have a motive, that motive is tucked away se completely in their un- conscious minds that all they can say is, “I didn’t steal.” That sort of answer, along with an innocent expression, is the thing that puzzles their accusers. With a per- foctly open face they unblushingly offer one misstatement after another, apparently unaware of all inconsisten- cies. Special Decorations for Kitchen BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER.

It is made in bright shades of green, red, yellow and several other colors, and is atiractive enough to grace informal meals at home as well as picnics.

E=—=O0OF THE MOMENT OA] . £l DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR DOROTHY DIX—You speak of the folly of grandmothers trying to look like flappers. So far so good. But you know & lot of us women with children never have the time or money to get & peek into a beauty parlor until out last daughter is married off. And you know how well the usual American husband keeps himself. T have heard they even have their eyebrows plucked along with the extra foliage that sprouts from ears and nose. So is there any harm in our trying to keep pace with them? O is it better to send father off to the Elk banquet alcne because mother did not feel up to wearing tight clothes that flight? It is no comfort to any woman to look in her mirror and see something short and squatty, with feet that bulge over her slip- pers. stringy hair, gray lips and shiny skin. Therefore, the old girl who holds herself in hand at the dinner table, keeps her body supple and has a pride in the state of her hair, skin and nails deserves every pretty thing her admiring old husband may buy her, and it helps to keep romance alive. A GRANDMOTHER. ANSWER: Three cheers for you. grandmother. and for all other women who try to keep themselves as attractive in bcdv and mind as they can! This is an ugly old world in which we are sadly in need of more beauty, and I account it unto any woman for righteousness who makes herself a treat for the eyes instead of remaining as homely as nature created her. . So you get me wrong, grandma, if you think for one moment that I believe in women going around frowsy and unkempt and locking as if they had just been fished out of the ragbag because they have passed their 60th or 70th or even 80th birthday. On the contrary, I believe that the older a woman grows, the more careful she shou abcut her grooming and the lovelier ciothes sne should have. For age is not of itself attractive, and it needs to be wrapped up in a lot cf chiffons to make it decorative. AND that was just the point I was trving to make in the article to which you refer—that age could have its charms no less than youth, but that they could never be the same line of attractions, and hence that it was foolish fcr grandma to deny herself all the ease and pleasures she craved and wear herself to a frazzle trying to understudy grand- daughter. Among the greatest blessings and achievements of our modern age is the elimination of age, so0 far as women are concerned. It used to be that a woman was an cid maid at 25. Now she is a girl bachelor amd still in the running until she is 40. A married woman put on her black silk and let herself get stout after the advent of the first baby, and by the time she was 45 sne was supposed to crawl up on the shelf and spend the balance of her life contemplating her latter end. Now women keep themselves fit, and when they are 70 they are still going strong and really beginning to enjcy themseives. And the world is the better and the happler for the change. DOROTHY DIX. ¥ % Kk ok EAR MISS DIX—Please tell me a way in which I may test my girl and boy friends to see if they are really true friends. BETTY CATHERINE. Better not put them to the test, my dear. In a lifetime you will not find more than one or two friends who are the kind that will stick to ycu through thick and thin. You will have many fair-weather friends who will be friends only so long as the sun of your prosperity shines and who will fall away in your day of adversity. But don't undervalue these fair-weather friends. They make life pleasant and agreeable for you, and they probably think just as much of you as you do of them. DOROTHY DIX. * ok % x DF.AR MISS DIX: How much should husbands and wives deny them- selves in their personal comforts and pleasures in order to please their mates? Should a wife go out with her husband when she would rather stay at home and read of an evening? My husband and I have bitter arguments about this. He contends that the romance which drew us to- gether should be made to continue and that we should make a mutual effort to please each other, even theugh our preferences would dictate otherwise. We are writing this letter together and would appreciate your reply. *DOROTHY T. Answer: I think your husband is right. and that it is only by hus- bands and wives making a never-ending effort to adapt themselves to each other and to please each other that marriage can be made a success. The idea that people will go on loving each other. no matter how they treat each other, just simply because they are married is all wrong. So is the theory that romance is a life-everlasting plant that grows by the door- step and that no neglect will kill. UITE the opposite is true. If husbands and wives keep in love with each other, they have to do everything in their power to make them- selves attractive and agreeable to each other. They have to make them- selves necessary to each other, and this is only done by hard work and many sacrifices of one’s own personal tastes and desires. For the old poetic ideal of two souls with but a single thought is an impossibility. It never existed and it can't exist when one of the souls wears breeches and the other one wears skirts, so to speak, and one would want to go fishing and the other would want to go shopping: one would want to order roast beef for dinner and the other chocolate eclairs. UT all the same I think that the husband and wife should cater to each other. I think that if a woman knows that her husband is particularly fond of certain dishes she should set them before him no matter whether She craves them o not. That if he wants her to be dressed up of an eve- ning when he comes home, she should.doll herself up: if he gets any satis- faction out of lolling in a chair and dropping cigarette ashes on the floor she should sweep up after him without a word, and if he wants to step out of an evening she should grab her hat and go. And I think a man should be equally willing to gratify the whims of his wife, and that these mutual sacrifices bring them closer together and promote compansionship between them. DOROTHY DIX.

I hope very much that they are bringing interesting knowledge to those who read them; but I want them also to contain “the human touch.” All of us are comrades in the jour- ney of adventure which the earth is| making around the sun.
