MAGA ZINE PAGE. Ringing Liberty Bell as Game BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE PL/{* ERS ASSEMBLE AROUND THE DINING ROOM TABLE FOR THE GAME, RINGING THE LIBERTY BELL. INCE the perilous features of horgn celebrations of the Fourth of July are being banned by ¢vic restrictions, and the noisy ‘Yamor accompanying the ex- plosior, of firecrackers, etc., is sub- siding, on that day, the Fourth has be- come ' freught with less anxiety to parcgits. The excitement of the sharp Terorts and the flashes of fire, coupled ‘K(h the hint of danger, gave fascinat- {Ag thrills to youngsters, and it is not an easy matter to kecp their enthusi- | asm in the patriotic celebrations as keenly alive without such strations. The holiday is of such na- tional import, however, that it behooves parents and recreation leaders to see that the glamour of merrymaking is not lost for the children, but is merely transferred. The Liberty Bell game has been originated to lend such aid at home festivities. The game naturally follows a supper or refreshments. as the table decora- tions can so readily do double duty as centerpiece and elements in the game. | ‘This is not imperative, though, as will be discovered, should the game -alone be featured. It will be described, how- ever, in connection with the meal, and those who wish to use it alone can adapt it readily for themselves. In the middle of the dining table is a patriotic centerpiece. It consists of a round cake iced with red frosting and surrounded by as many little flags | as there are persons to play the game. There should also be one extra flag. A little bell, typifying the Liberty Bell, is suspended above <he center of the cake by fastening it to the middle of a looped wire, the ends of which are thrust down into the cake. The bell must be so suspended that it swings freely and rings when lightly struck. BEDTIME STORIES Lesson in Art of Falling. There's art in all things great and small, E'en in the proper way to fall. —Mother Bear. “Ohhh!’ gasped Betty Bear when she could get her breath after a tumble | from the first tree she ever had climbed. “Ohhh!” Then she began to whimper. You see she was a very small bear, a wee cub. She was more frightened than hurt. She lcol at Mother Bear ®THAT 1iS NO W. GROWLED MOTHER BEAR.” for sympathy. Mother Bear merely grunted, and it wasn't a grunt of sym- pathy at all. “That is no way to fall” growled Mother Bear. “But I didn't do it purposely,” whined Betty Bear. “I didn't want to fall. I don’t want to fall again ever.” “You will,” growled Mother Bear. “No, I won't,” declared Betty Bear. *“I won't climb any more and then I can’t fall.” “You wiil do both and you will learn how to do both.” growled Mother Bear. “You won't be ready to go out into the Great World by yourself until you do.” “I don't see why,” whined Betty Bear. “You will in time,” replied Mother Bear. “I wouldn't give much for a MENU FOR A DAY.

The stick of a lollypop and its flag are stuck through the hole of an empty spool covered with blue crepe paper. This holder makes it stand erect. After the meal is over, or the re- freshments have been served, and the cake is eaten, the bell and its wire support are transferred to a little mound of putty, into which the wire ends are thrust and the bell held in position. Each player is given 10 white beans tied up in red tissue paper. A circle of players is formed around the table. The player at the head of the table throws one of his beans at the bell. | If he succeeds in making it ring he scores one. The line moves on and cach player in turn does the same thing, and scores or not. according to whether he makes the bell ring. One round counts as a game. Ten games, following in quick succession, compose a set. The pldver winning the most games is awarded all the flags that were around the cake. It is his pleas- ant task to distribute one flag in its holder with its lollypop to each player, while he keeps the extra one for his portion. While the players are out of the liv- ing room, one at a time enters with the hostess and hides his or her flag. When all have been hidden every one enters and a hunt for the flags fol-| lows. The one finding the most flags | is given a larger one for a prize, after | | which the little flags are again dis- | tributed, so each gets one, with two ! for the winner of the first contest.

Yet Mother Bear was |going up at a surprisingly fast rate. | She stopped before she reached the branches, looked down at Betty ‘Bear and then began to come down, backing | down and seemingly as sure of herself | as when she was climbing.

There was a pighty thump and Betty Bear -looked over her shoulder to see Mother Bear pick her- self up and come shuffling toward her | quite as if nothing at all unusual had hoppened. “No,” replied Mother Bear. “I just | let go and dropped. It was the quickest way of getting down. And if you had watched instead of running away you might have seen just how I landed so that I would not be hurt. But I guess you'll have to learn by experience.” “Yes'm,” saild Betty Bear rather faintly. (Copyright, 1933.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Two Minds in One Body. It is a little hard for the layman to understand how one body can house | two different minds. Cases of dual per- tion, “Why?” The way to understand . this not uncommon personal duality is to_consider the question of dissociation. | Nature intended every individual to have one personality, and only one. But Nature doesn’t always have her way. | Some of her creations are imperfect from the start. Others become imper- fect as growth and development go on. | None of us particularly like all our experiences. As a rule, we tend to put | unhappy experiences out of conscious- ness. We all have our painful memories. This putting away of painful memories is popularly called forgetting. But we really never entirely forget anything. What we actually do is to dissociate the pains from the pleasures. Let these painful memories accumu- late, and they finally become attached to one another. The recollection of one tends to arouse ap entire block of mem- ories that have been disso- ciated from the customary personality. ‘When this happens, the individual appears as a different person to his or her friends. In fact, it is a different personality, & dissociated personality which now temporarily dominates every idea and every act.

F THE average human being would think as much about his own faults 25 he does about his friends’ and neighbors’ faults, there would be more happiness and fewer failures in the world. If he would take the trouble to learn the other fellow's faults, it would help him to get rid of his own. But there seems to be born in every human being a certain feeling of self- satisfaction, which continues with him through life, through success or fail- ure. If he prospers, he thinks it is be- cause he is brighter than his neighbors. If he fails he imagines that the other fellow has just happened to have a run of good luck. I suppose there is so much ecrit- icism in life because nothing is easier than to find flaws in the characters or in the behavior of the people we know. * ok ok X Carping and complaining are almost universal habits. Men nag those they hire to help them, if for no other rea- son than to show their authority. And women, despite their many good quali- ties, find it difficult to get good kitchen help. because they take it for granted | that all cooks and housemaids must be alike, and therefore all in need of driving to their work. The building of character consists of the steady elimination of faults. I have lived quite a number of years in this world, and assoclated with a great many men. I have found very few who were disposed to take the ability and industry of others for granted. Instead of first looking for these qualities, they looked for imperfections, nkxl:d. of CO\.I!'IG! m\l‘:u" often found what they were or. - Rse,member that the population of this world consists of you and the other fellows.

Finds Americans Expect Too Much | DorothyDix| Chief Reason Still Lies in Sentimentality of Americans, Who Expect Fallible Human Beings to Be Angels. NDERMENT is often expressed as to why divorce should be so much more common in the United States than in any other civilized country, since the ratio of selfishness, temper, bossiness mdldflck!enen among husbands and wives is the same the ' world ove: ‘Taking it by and large, American men and American women® are Just as good, kind, faithful husbands and wives as exist anywhere. Yet foreigners for some reason seem to make a go of marriage oftener than we do. Or perhaps they endure it with more fortitude. - IT seems to me that there are several good explanations as to why we lead the world in the number of our divorces. The basic one is racial. We are an adventurous people, sprung from forbears who were hot-headed and hot-blooded, impatient of restraint, and who, when they found old bonds galling, had the tendency to bieak them. They had none of the mertyr complex that suffers and is strong. Theirs was no patient :ngurance of long-drawn-out misery. They were all for quick and drastic ction. Undoubtedly, we have brought much of this pioneer spirit into marriage, and it is what prompts us to move on, so to speak, and hunt for a more congenial mate when we find we have made a mistake in the selection of a life partner, instead of settling down into the acceptance of an unhappy union as more disciplined people did. g OP course. the chief reason why divorce is so common among us is because we Americans are the most sentimental people on earth and demand the most of marriage and inore of our husbands and wives than any one else does In reality, we demand the impossible, because we expect marriage to be a perfect institution, and our husbands and wives to be godlings and angels, and when we find out that the marriage relationship has faults and weaknesses, and that it is full of trials and tribulations and calls for endless sacrifices, and that we are married to mere human men and women, with human weaknesses and inconsistencies :;.g qc‘:ltunkemusneues. we are all too prone to throw up our hands We are not content to accept marriage as the best method yet devised for the perpetuation of the farily, and to keep it a going concg,m as long as the two partners work together for the prosperity of their home :on:l&hlld‘r!n.mv;"e'gen;‘ang '.hdlt 1:.‘ be“l paradise on earth, a never-ending ce in whic! e husband and wife just bill and coo other’s footsteps for 40 years at a uretc%:. SRS N this miracle doesn't happen and marriage settles down into being humdrum domesticity, filled with the darning of socks and the cookihg of dinners and the bringing home of the pay envelope, and kistes that are flavored with ham and eggs, we call it a failure, and only too often break up the home for no better reason than because it doesn't come up to our adolescent dreams. ‘The men of other countries are satisfied if their wives have one out- standing virtue—if they are beautiful, or fashion-plates, or brilliant, or domestic, or devoted wives and mothers. But the American man expects his wife to combine all of these qualities—to cook with one hand and entertain company with the other, and to remain perpetually young besides. - And when she falls to come up to his demands he feels defrauded. NOR are American wives any more reasonable in their demands upon their husbands. They expect their husbands to be combination go-getters and gigolos, and they feel themselves mistreated and neglected when the men to whom they are married do not supply them with every luxury and yet keep up an ardent line of fiery lovemaking. In no other country in the world would a sane woman give up a kind and ienerou.s husband who was a good provider Lecause he expected her to take his affections for granted and failed to keep up an impassioned wooing. Yet thousands of American women break up their homes for no other reason than that they are married to dumb Romeos. DOROTHY DIX.

The rump is grayish brown, finely mottled blackish and the tail is ashy. There is a black line from the bill to beneath the eye and extending down the sides of the neck. The neck and breast, as well as the under parts, are white. Mrs. Bob White has a line over her fore- | head and throat of buff. She has little or no black on her chest.

There is bound to be some difference of opinion as to essentials, especially in beauty culture. Some women may feel that the whole thing must be aban- doned for the time being, while others consider the weekly faclal, wave and manicure at a beauty shop as necessities. ‘Whether or not professional beauty treatments are taken as regularly as heretofore, the daily and weekly care of complekion, hair and hands should be classed as essentials in every wom- an's program. It is just as important to keep youthful and to look one's best now as it was before the economic de- pression, perhaps more so. Care of one’s health and figure is an- other phase of beauty cuiture that no woman can afford to neglect just now. A straight, supple body that is neither too thin nor burdened with excess fat helps a woman look young and be more efficient. Comfortable feet are another essential; it is wiser to economize on hats than on shoes.

POST: I am a « newcomer in town. and have received an invitation from a neighbor who has never called. I know that, ac- cording to strict etiquette, she should at least have left her invitation with a card. I am going to her party in spite of this. Should I pay & party call™ afterward, even though she + has never been to see me?” Answer—No rules | of etiquette are 50 | casually® observed | as those of card- leaving.
