Onc instant they were there aid the naxt instant they had disappeared. But *hey come up on the other side o° the 8miling Pocl and each had a little fish. Bad news travels fast.

MORRIS ABEIN tiditor Journal of the American' Medical Assoviation and of Hy- gcla, the Health Magezince, | | Some years ago, & writer named | Muller made a study of identical ‘,ms who had been separated in I childhood and reared apart. It has been a common belief that twins not | only look alike, but think alike and act alike, that there 13 between {them some vague attachment, some- thing like a telepathic connection, | which causes them to be joyful or serrowful at the same moments. In order to prove the truth or | falsity of this bellef, Professor H. H. Newman of the University of Chi- cago, one of the greatest authori- | ties on the subject of twins, has stu- died the cases of several sets of | twins separated in vouth and reared at great distances from each other. | A Wide Difference | Tn one instance, one of the twins \was adopted ‘by relatives and the lother by friends of the family. One {\was taken to Canada when she was |two years old and the other remain- lcd in England until she was 17 {years of age. These girls received |about the same amount of education (and had about the same opportui- i ties. They are what modern sclence recognizes as identical twins. In- deed. the markings on the palms of ithe hands are almost the same, as {well as the finger prints, The twins are found to be. after the passage lof time. #hout nine pounds different in weirht, but with hair ecolor, eve eslor and e nd fecth very sim- if nat idontical One of the tins tendod to he left-handed and the other right-handed { They were given | mental t and w |auite different. One smarter than the other, were high tempered, action and judgment. Whereas these twins were much the same in their emotional reaction and not the same in their mentality, the twins studied by Muller were much different in their emotional reactions and rated the same in their mentality. In another instance, twins horn in a New York city hospitay were taken to on orphanage and at the age of 18 months and two years were adopted by two Tiv- in different chigan.

How- ever, their emotional reactions were auite siniilar and their ments were approximately the same. On the basis of these studies, it is jreasonable to believe that twins in [the same circumstances are likely to’] {react cmotionally in actly the same way to similar sitvations and that 1t any mental disturbance oc- cure which is likely to upset the jmental status of one greatly. it will (rrobably upset the mental status of |the other greatly. 1. however, the rt and sre not ac sitnations, great many found to be was much but hoth hasty in time Ll ™ - twins are far d on by the they are not likely o he aff~cted at the time in 1y way.

(1) Awnings with sides are especially good for: this English style house, suggesting protection aud dignity. (2) Spanish awnings without sides extended on spearhead arms, are much too festive and frivolous for this dignified house, (3) Noveity striped awnings are informal and simple, therefore good for the bungalow., The scallops lend just the cheerful, lively tounch needed. (4) Horizontal stripes and no sides are unsatisfactory for the bungalow because they close up the house, have too sharp lines, are too formal and do not agrée with the long, gentle roof lines. harmonize with the color scheme. Selecting awnings for one's home is-a problem not unlike picking im- portant accessorics for —one's cos- tumes. Awnings do much the same thing for the surtorial appearance of the home's cexterior that hats, scarfs, shoes and other accessories do for a suit or ensemble. The right ones are decorative'and flat- tering. The wrong ones exagger- ate defects. Four things should he taken in- to consideration when choosing awnings: the architecture of the house, the main color, the trim, and the grounds around the house. Awnings present the newest and most interesting of these exterior harmony problems. Myriad dec. orative schemes are made possible by the new awning fabrics flooding the market. Colors Are New of the new awnings are woven, some hand-blocked, some printed. Therz are warm, rich. fashionable new colors — glowing tans, greens, oranges, hennas, Blues of varying degrees of bright- ness, reds, yel'ows, grays. Some- times five or six colors appear in one design. Stripes, the old fa- vorite design in awnings, have gone modernistic and varied. They come in multitudinous sizes and rombinations. New and very modern de’igns substitute other geometric or floral designs instead of stripes. To make tha selection of awn- ings yet mare interesting, if diffi- cult, new decorative arms are on the market in the form of spear- heads, scrolls, battle axes and other designs. Brilliantly striped or patterned awnings with spearhead arms are good on Spanish or any other or- nate house. On Colonial houses, on the other hand, they seem out of sympathy with the dignity and simplicity of this type. They con- vey an air of festivity and gaiety not in keeping with the spirit of a Colonial house For the diz * Colonial or awnings good. cal and suggest certain reticence. and color should be chosen to blend with the house and harmon- ize with its spirit. Bungalows, of American design, on the other hand, get their charm by coziness, and an air of friend- ly invitation. Colors should be bright, warm, but the design never should be too striking. Awnings should coincide with the lines of the roof. The ultimate awning &scheme of any home is a personal matter. Each house is really a special problem in itself. But there are certain principles of good taste in awnings which are fundamental, since they are hased on the appro- priatenes of certain awnings on rtain kinds of houscs, of the effect certain awnings have, and what color doe: Here Are Considerations 3efore choosing awnings, there- . it might be advisable to con- sider them in these way Wide stripes suggest near- dth.

Lucy just adores him. She's a perfect littlo mother. He's miserable when he is away frofi her; he simply doesn't know what to do with-himself. They play together all the time. KEveén when Stevie gets irritable anl throws things around, Lucy seems to know just how to handle him."” Stevie's mother spoke with com- placency. The relationship between the children seemed to her an en. tirely satisfactory one. What could be better than a brother and sister 80 completely devoted to one an- other? To which we "answer: “Why, nothing in the world could be bet- ter, except a brother and sister, who, though on friendly terms, are quite independent of cach other.” The “mothering” older child is fearning a dictatorial attitude which she must unlearn if she is to make a pleasant adjustment to her equals, She is deriving her chief satisfac tion through managing another hu- man being instead of through whole- some, objective play. The younger child is being ex- ploited. The “little mother” makes him fit into her play schemes. She blocks his efforts at independent play, she explains, dominates and corrects. Being herself a child, she cannot help misusing her advantage. In ways both obvious and subtle, she uses his weakness to feed her sense of power. When two children be- eama thns dependent on each other it 18 well to separate them during al icast several hours of the day. Little children should not be litile mothers, nor should they respond to “mothering” from any child. They should have a free, fair chance te stablish themselves independently. While 1t is neceseary for them to submit 1o a certain amount of adult domination, domination of one child by another is without value and without excuse,
