MAGAZINE PAGE. Using Old Christmas Cards BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. HRISTMAS cards have already begun to coe in and probably there is a little heap of them ready to open on Christmas day. Or perhaps they have been opened as they arrived, and even now are tucked about on mantlepleces, lending their -fl:y pictorial beauty to decorations. ese dainty little cards which have brought their friendly - GHRISTMAS SICK CHILD. greetings to you, can cheer sick chil- dren and aduits if you will not tarow the cards away but send them on kindly misgions. Besides the sick, there are persons starved for beauty, in lonely places where cards, so common and usual to us, are luxuries. So make up a package or two and let them do double duty in the ways mentioned. Perhaps some of you are wondering ust where you should send the packages f you saved the cards. This puzzling question may deter you from attempt- ing to use the cards as suggested. So Jet me give you some idea of ways in which to get in touch with just the right persons. The church whica you attend will give you names of foreign ports where missionary work is being carried on. Get the name of the person in charge of the mission. The farther away these places are, such as Africa, CARDS | PROVE ENTERTAINMENT FOR A | 50 abundent. | hospital. Contagious hospitals or wards are glad to get cards or any little things which, after ‘being handled, can destroyed withcut feeling that some- thing valuable has had to be sacri- ficed. 1In these wards convalescent children and adults are given different things to amuse them and make long hours less tedious. It is difficult to appreciate what pleasure these Christmas and New Year cards can give unless you have visited hospitals or had some one in your own family ill, especially when the illness was contagious. If you send cards to foreign missions, you will find the letters acknowledging the packages revealing in the accounts of the cheer and joy that the cards have brought. WINTER BY D. C. PEATTIE. Send a package to such a Star Maps. HERE is nothing so fascinating I as star maps, or charts of the sky, but I have one quarrel with most of the commonly published ones, and that is that they are constructed for the sky as it_can be seen in the latitude of New York or Boston, or, worse still, London or Paris, which are about in the same zone as Newfoundland. And the northern skies | are distinctly less interesting and varied than those of the latitude of Wash- ington. Especially in Winter, much is missed by the amatuer star gazer on roof top, 1f he has to depend on ructed for the less for- te northern latitudes. As an cxample, Sirius, on a map I have from Paris, is put down as just barely visible on_ the extreme horizon in December and invisible in Novem- ber, though that is not at all the case in Washington. ~And Sirlus is the brightest star that can be seen from this little old planet, except the sun. Actually Sirfus is in the Southern ‘Hemisphere. In the “tropics it rides near the zenith: at Beunos Aires it is well in the north, With us it is in the south, near the horizon, and at'11 o'clock or midnight, approximately, it can be seen in December due south. ing far to the southeast of Orion's gleaming heel, just on the edge of the pretty bright in any case, being so Jarge, but it happens alo to be one of the most intensely hot and luminous stars in the universe. It is, if I re- member rightly, the fifth nearest star, the others (most of them also in the Southern Hemisphere) being small or rather dull. If our sun were a small bonfire on the White House lawn, and the earth an ‘orange in the Agricul- tural grounds, then Sirius would be a solid block of buildings in Baltimore, | burning up. This conveys the pro- | portions more vividly. if less precisely, | then to say that Sirius is over 50 mil- lions of Sirius is so neer us that it would look | THE EVENING STAR, Star Patterns Smart Neckwear.

I ha who is inclined to run around and stay out late, and I * she would be better off married. Dix, T have picked . Miss out a yvun‘n mc: a suitable match for this wayward young daughter of mine, He is in the plumbing business, which 5 a legitimate and honest profession, and I ean't see her objections to him, as he is old enough to be level-headed and keep her in line. But she will not consent snd 1 want your advice on how to make her see that marrying man is the best thing to do. MR. 8. W. Answer: I am afraid I cannot help you in this matter, Mr. 8. W., believe in parents as match-makers. If your daughter a man whom you knew to be immoral or drunken would be sure to be her . But s match is an entirely dif- ferent tion, for, while you can tell with mathematical exactness the kind of a husband that will make a woman miserable, nobody knows the sort of husband that will make her happy. YOU see, Mr. 8. W., the fact that & man is moral and upright and sober and industrious and s good provider doesn't necessarily make him a desirable hurband in a woman's eyes. It doesn't make her love him or enjoy being with him. It doesn't fill her days with ccntentment. Perhaps she doesn’t even know what it is herself, but is something that is stronger than life or death or poverty or riches, and that mzkes her williing to work for and sacrifice for him and stick by him through thick and thin Just because he is her man. That is why no father, no matter how wise and clever he is or how good a judge of man he is, can pick out a husband for his daughter. It is purely a matter of individual taste and the fathers’ and daughters’ tastes seldom run along the same line. The very qualities that would lead you mm:xh;ue 3 candidate are the ones that would have no weight Wi et OU have prachicality on your side. She has romance on hers. You ‘want her to marry a settled, sober man, who will boss her. She wants a playmate, somebody of her own age, who will dance with her and run around with her and who will perhaps fight with her, but who will not dream of trying to control her. To ask her to change her demands in a man for yours is as unreasonable as to offer mush and milk to one who craves caviar, N Undoubtedly, your man is the safer chance. But if the girl doesn't want him and doesn't like him, if he does not come up to her ideal or fire her fancy, and if she has no taste for him, how could you expect her to be happy with him. And, after all, isn't it better for the girl to marry the man she wants and the man who pleases her than the one who pleases You? It seems to me that the one who has to live with a husband or a wife has the right to pick him or Pel; (let. DOROTHY DIX.

But I sometimes wonder if I have become old and cynical, and if I am making my independence a fetish. Is there & danger of that? BACHELOR GIRL. Answer: Yes, I think there is a very real danger of the woman who enjoys her independence making a god of it and sacrifices too much to it. We women are likely to run to extremes, you know, and we are a bit crazy now with the joy of having broken ‘the fetters that have bound our sex 50 long and with our first experience at freedom. J T seems so wonderful to us to know that we are standing on our own feet and are independent human beings, free to come and go as we lease without asking any man'’s permission: with our own money that we ve earned with our own heads and hands, that we can spend as we like without giving an account to any one, that we feel that independence is the greatest thing in the world, that it is better than love, better than husbands or children, better than anything. 1 know more than one woman who has refused to marry the man she really cared for because she loved her liberty better and preferred to medium and large sizes.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL An Anchor. ANY a mother has seen her well-cared-for child grow into the heedless, helpless adoles- cent. She followed a careful routine day after day, year after year. The child was fed the right kind of food. He ate regularly and slept soundly. He played with the other children and got along all right in the elementary grades. When he reached the high school years he began to ficunder, lost interest in school and said he wanted to go to work. “Don’t you know you can't go to work? In the first place, you have no training. Whet could you do?” “I can do lots of things. I want to be_an aviator.” Adolescent children are childish in this particular. Their bodies may mature, but their minds are still chlld- ish in the field of purposeful life work, Neture has granted human children & long span of infancy. They are sup- posed to investigate things, experience many ways of creating and changing and adjusting the ideas that their en- vironment stimulates. It is by aiding this exploring notion that we can help a wavering adolescent to steady himself and get down to work. Along about the time a boy wants to build things we begin to offer him work experiences. We have to refrain from putting our notions of a job for him be- fore his own. We must keep that to | ourselves. First let the child select what 16 all the. adolescents who want to | D€ likes to do and feed him along that be aviators were placed shoulder to shoulder If they don't want to be aviators, without training, they want to be engineers or bankers. Blithely they ckip a matter of 20 years and seat themselves in the chairs of the mighty. It is no wonder that parents grow im- patient and teachers wrathful. But that gets us nowhere. Our job is to hold onto this purposeless, helpless, ignorant child and direct him toward a definite purpose. A purpose in life is like an anchor. It steadies the drifting mind, holds it until it can take hold of jtself and go on its way. How can we get children to have a purpose? We cannot give them one. Purposes do not come that way. They spring out of the childs own mind and we cannot touch that, save indirectly. But that is something hopeful. If we can estimate a child's interests we induce him to create o purpose. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLK. For the blst 30 years psychologists have been trying to uncover the corner stone of intelligence. They have gone to the ant and the bee; the earthworn | and the snail; the rat and the guinea pig: fish and fowl: the ape and man Nothing much is known yet, but the way seems clear. You can't say what intelligence is, but you can measure it Intelligence is like electricity in that Tespect. The corner stone of intelligence is constructed out of activity. Movement is the essence; habit is the architec- Just at present the best way to predict what the various degrees of intelligence will be is to study the growing child. ‘Those individuals who are likely to have a surplus of intelligence begin to walk soon after they are 12 months old, and to talk when they are 11 | months old. Those individuals who are | likely to possess an average amount of intelligence begin to walk when they are 14 months old, and to talk when they are 15 months old. Those indi- viduals who are likely to be deficient i in intelligence begin to walk after they are 2 years old, and to talk when they are about 3!; years old. line as long as he will accept it. When he shifts, it will probably be along the same line, with modifications, and these modifications continue until the original notion has been developed fully or has been fully absorbed in an- other scheme. In talking to the confused, purpose- less adolescent boys and girls, I have found that in many instances the parents or the schools, or both, had hela to a set line of instruction for the children without stopping to ask if it was really what the child needed and could use.
