Mrs. Wes Brad - `"' Dr: Eric Berne's recently pub- lished book, "Games people Play" will appeal to everyone because it strips the surface in- nocence off conventional rela- tionships. Here are some of . Derne's ideas: People can behave together in five: different ways: Prose- 'dares; Rituals; Pastimes; Games and intima(y. A Pr`deedu re`i direct operation like baking a cake or sawing off a leg. It is far too useful to admit of any psychological trickery. A Ritual is a preaeterinined conventional pattern, performed for reassur- ance or to pass tie time and :can be' examplifiedby anything from a ceremony such as award- ing a top hat to . the skipper of the Lsso oiler' each year, to "Good evening" 'or even "Hi!" A Pastime. is a friendly activ- ity or conversation in which the participants make friendly noises, just to pass the time. .Suitable subjects are: "Ottawa" —Haas or babies- (for women only),-- Who won?— Whatever became of ol% .. g,? Nothing is, achieved, nothing changed. • A Game is a stage on from th be ause it introduce the dramatic. Ina "game" some- thing on thing happens and it is no played candidly. One player i determined to win and in 'win- ning to enjoy a goal to which he is accustomed. Far example: White. "I have just had . pneu- monia!" Black. "I had -•it • 18. Months ago and was in hospital for three weeks," White. `.0h; I was in hospital a• month." Black. "The doctor said I was lucky to be alive" White. "They actually signed a. release for the body, I was :'o. 111." The Blue Thumb By G. MacLEOD ROSS The .Adult has no axe to grind, ed by married couples—wives is rational and " direct. The Parent wants to dominate and bully. The Child wants -to be dominated. Thus if the man asks: "Do you .'know- where my pipe is?''—a perfectly adult question and his, wife answers: "It's in your mouth!", that is equally adult.. But if the wife s;,. " ' ou look after a• W can.�t y your smelly old pipe yourself? that is .. the parent speaking. There has been a breakdown in the intercom system. However she' could reply: "Why al -ways come to me when you've lost something?" --that is the child speatting. Games fill most of life and there are several standards of play. Those in the 'first, or pro- fessional team, prefer to play with the first team and so on down the scale. People pick as friehds people in the same "games" class as themselves. The professionals are politicians, salesmen, cen-men and diplo- mats. However ,-t-hey may dis- guise their remarks, what they are really saying is: "Vote for me"—"Buy it"—"Pay up"—or e "Let's be - friends." It is the s 7"—"Buy whop. says pat- ronisingly: wear them r it t myself!" This may p,ut the buyer s off completely if they are in different "games" classes. The buyer says to himself: "Then I .wouldn't be .seen- dead wearing one." But_ suppose the canvasser says: "We're all giving $1,000. each, but I know you can't af- ford that much. If, in error, you .assume the "child" character, then you reply: "Of course I can afford it," knowing full well you haveh't a red cent. Clever can - If the game ends here, White vasse:! has won. The only way to kill If It Weren't the game is for Bia'ck to reply.:: • There his the "Is that so?" White has then to weren't for you" try again to excite Black to top , o• versus husbands. Mrs. Black is forever complaining of what she might have' done "if it weren't for you." Mr. Black replies by shutting her up for he is domin- ant and insists Mrs. B. shall ,be homebound. Dr. Berne contends that Mrs.",B. deliberately chose a dominant husband 'y so that she zould happily make this complaint at breakfast, on Mr. B's return from the office and to selected neighbors. Of course there are some subtleties in this game. Mrs. Black says she is going toLondon for the day. _ Mr. Black then asks'. "But •who will get my lunch?" Mr. Black Wins. Mrs. B. still remains home- bound. -When children arrive. Mrs. B has an even more„satisfy- ing reason to play "if it wasn't for you.' -Authors and artists play this game a lot, -but in many cases it isn't the pram in the hall that stops the great novel or the deathless master- piece., but lack of talent. Some of,the other games peop,e plainclude "Clumsy Fool.” In this game White pours a cup or coffee accidentally, on purpose ever his hostess's dress. He then says: "Oh, I'm such clumsy foal. Please forgive zee." If forgiving words are spoken, White has won and, may con- tinue by breaking a chair and ruining the rug. The only way to stop nim is to break the rules of the game and say: "Please don't make it worse by saying: I'm sorry." - "Corner" is„another game for 'marrieds and is resultant on each refusing to' playthe other's game. Mrs. Black suggests the movies. Black agrees but steers the conversation so that it be- comes i=mpossible for Mrs. •B. not to mention that the house needs •painting.

Then there is "Sweetheart,' also played by married couples, most diligently and aggressively. Mr. Black, with an audience of course, -tells a mildly discredi- table anecdote about Mrs. Black, always.eridiag: "That's what happened isn't it Sweetheart?" µ Now Mrs. B. can escalate this game by "sweethearting", back, but if she wants to terminte the play, then she says: "I don't mind your story; but don't call me "Sweetheart." "Why does this always happen to Inc?" is mostly played, by men who wear a large. sign: "Please don't kick me!"
