Birch, Eminent Psychologist) Women learn more quickly than anen. Indeed, the learning ability of -the female gender is quite remarkable. When a subject is such that to learn it one must plod steadily, a woman is 'not likely to be interested,. She can do it, she can master it if she wants to. But it does not hold any fascination ;for her. What she especially fancies is study: -that is practical and varied, where ob-' -servation, rather than method is the 'course to follow, and which is more ,or less free from complicated, abstract technical details. That is why girls succeed better in the lower grades than boys. Here the subjects studied' conform more closely to the types above noted, Up to 'seventeen and eighteen the girls grasp things much easier and are much more adaptable and precocious in every way than their brothers. But .after eighteen, the boys catch up and the girls have a difficult time to com- pete with them in the higher branches 'of learning. A girl of fourteen, let us say, im- .presses us as decidedly mature to a 'boy of similar age. Five years later, 'however, the reverse is the case. Physical changes and the emotional 'development that goes with them un- 'doubtedly are important factors in the slowing up of mind development at puberty. It has been said that the female mind flowers at an early age, but practically ceases to develop after 'eighteen. What happens really is a dispersal "of attention and a shifting and widen- ing of interests at about eighteen, due to the reproductive urge which side- tracks the feminine mind and pursu- ing in the persistent way, the subjects which have intrigued before. At puberty, the boy also becomes Interested in the opposite sex, but he -can very readily add on this new 'fascination to what already pleases Aim and still continue the study of anathematics or any study he likes. 'When love becomes a factor in a girl's life, it very decidedly undermin- es her intellectual pursuits. One might I say that the girl substitutes one for the other, while the boy often is spur- red on to greater intellectual achieve- ments fust because he has fallen in hove. One notices, too, how readily and ` willingly women give up a passion for music, singing, painting, acting, or whatever it may be, when they fall itt love or marry. lint a man finds it next to impossible to do that. When once his ambition is gaited in a certain direction, he must needs carry on in the same way if he is to be happy, Because the female mind learns so quickly, there is naturally a tendancy to be careless and not to strive for the highest degrees of perfection, What we gain easily we do not value, Some women would rather do many things easily, than master one that presents difficulties. Women can, of course, overcome any of the tendencies I have outlined if .she puts her will to work. She can master technicalities; she can display concentration and sticktoitiveness, she can do about what she wishes, But as a rule such ideals do not appeal to her nor do their accomplish- ments gratify as they do a man. CHILDREN'S ENTERTAINMENT Entertaining for children, especially for quite young ones, is apt to be a terrific trial, but a party is such an event for them that it cannot possibly be ignored. And there is a compensa- tion for the mother of the small host in the excited delight of the young- sters. The hard part about it is that there will never be—while children are normal—a formula for quiet, pea- ceful parties. There are, however, a few exped- ients to be employed in the giving of children's parties, that reduce the childish abandon to a bearable mini- mum. 'By providing them with diver- sions that more or less limit their en- ergies with destroying their pleasure instead of allowing them to entertain themselves according to the appar- ently inspired devices, is a help. One hostess obviated the nuisance of get- ting her guests interested in games by providing a movie of Felix the Cat, for their entertainment , The refreshments which constitute a large part of the, thrill of the party, should be planned carefully and the table from which they are served should have a great deal of attention, Any effort expended to please child- ren, is never wasted, for they are most appreciative of color and effect, although they cannot, of course, be expected to expatiate on the artistry of arrangements. Favor and Decoration Suggestions There are literally thousands of ways to dress a children's party table with crepe paper. Suit the decoration' to the season, the holiday or the in- clination of the child for whom the party is to be given. Favors that are always good are paper caps and great _AMA& r V l , v+,v. mit.M,6' l!.qummly onki isiy /ESR, • zwA 1•LWU& • • • MAP, Vaa\!

A Jack Horner pie or a jack-in-the-box arrangement will provide a centre -piece that will fas- cinate the little. folks. A kindergarten table is, of course, the best thing to use for serving the refreshments, but a low table can be made by placing dining table leaves on boxes, Or if a large extra, table top, which is used to enlarge the reg- ular table top is available, it can be supported on low stools and will be found to serve the purpose. admirably. DON GLOVES EARLY THIS FALL (By Josephine Huddlestone) Wtih fall days upon us and winter close by, kid gloves have become an important article in the wardrobe. And kid gloves can cause a lot of grief to the girl who hands perspire. Perspiring hands are usually the re - suit of a nervous disposition which should be corrected. For outside application a solution made of one ounce alcohol and one- half ounce of tincture of belladonna will prove beneficial. It should be used frequently and always just be- fore putting on kid gloves, allowing enough time for the solution to thor- uglily dry. Frequent applications of witch haz- el also prove beneficial in cases of perspiring hands. Begin wearing your gloves now if you want to prevent early chapping and redness. Both conditions are dis- figuring to hand beauty. During the daytime, dry the hands thoroughly before going out and mas- age a hand lotion that dries quickly into the skin. This not only gives a soft finish to the hands, but serves as a protection from the cold winds. At night, after thoroughly washing, rins- ing and drying the hands, massage a hand lotion, which contains a goodly percentage of almond oil into the hands so that they can soften and bleach during sleep, A. cuticle molder or some sort of oil such as olive oil or oil of sweet almonds should be massaged into the cuticle each night before applying the hand lotion. This will keep the skin round the nails soft and pliant. No- hing mars the beauty of the hands more than dry, ragged cuticle, and the my way in which this can be prevent - d or corrected is to put back -into the uncle, the oils that are washed out during the frequent daily cleansings. You . all know that lemon juice is plendid for removing fruit and vege- able stains, so we won't go into a engthly discussion on that. Callous spots on the palms of the ands or on the fingers can be sue- essfully removed by rubbing a raw umice stone over them each time the ands are washed. After soaking the ands for a few moments just rub e callous spots gently with the pu- ice stone and they will disappear af- r a week or two. a t 0 e c s t 1 h c p h h th rn to RICE PUDDINGS Martha Child's Reduction. Pudding (in 1880) Put a scant half cupful of rice into a buttered pudding dish with a quart of milk, a saltspoonful of salt, a tab- lespoonful of butter and a cupful of sugar. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla and a little grating of nutmeg. Let stand for half an hour, then put into moderate oven and stir very often while the rice swells and begins to cook. Keep stirring, and as the rice takes up the milk, add another pint that has been heated, and as it gets creamy, add another cupful of . hot cream, stir often, so it ,does not make a crust on top until it is just the right creamy consistency, then let it lightly. crust over and take from the oven. Serve very cold. Start the pudding in a large pudding dish, one that is very deep, GEO. MASON'S TRIP Editor of Advance -Times: Brandon, Manitoba, is a city of a- bout 16,000, but cannot say whether that includes the occupants of a large building across the river. This struc- ture is nicely situated with well kept grounds as in the case of Weyburn institution, The building is somewhat after the same fashion, has a com- manding position and can be seen from the train. The city site is one of the best I saw in the West. The Assinaboin River flows through on the north'side I with hilts s as background andu' quite a relief from the flat prairie which is a little monotonous to look upon, The streets are mostly paved and cleats, trees are in' abundance in residential district, buildings are substantial and give an air of. prosperity to the place, I would mention the Exhibition grounds which are extensive, well laid out, with a goodly number of build- ings for all kinds of exhibits. This little city. caps everything in that line. Winnipeg with all its sin and wealth can't muster'. up such a show. The thy like all others, has all the accessories in banks, agencies, whole- sale and retail establishments, includ- WI;N•GN M ADVANCE -TIMES, ". ing hospitals, colleges, etc. Perhaps the main drawback of the West gen- erally is a little too much "climate". We had the . pleasure of seeing the Experimental farm, which I would advise my people to visit when in, this country, Here is grown .every kind of tree, shrub and flower that will fit in with the climate, it certainly is a grand institution for the benefit of our great country. Here also is an Indian Schoolwhich is doing splen- did work for the boys and girls who manifest great cleverness along many educational lines. Manitoba has perhaps the most pleasant appearance of any of the Western provinces, in the fact of it being somewhat like our province in farm houses, barns and gravel roads. One sorrowful circumstance here in the farming way is the rust, which the people have to" contend with and I should judge also the weeds, which are an everlasting fight to subdue, otherwise it is a splendid country. The motor car in the west as well as in Ontario . is having an effect upon the small towns in destroying busi- ness, bringing stagnation, and shall I say ruin. For instance, in visiting Carberry, a nice little town, I find no advancement whatsoever, which only means a decline in consequence. 1 called on a furniture dealer who thir- ty years ago bought his goods from the Bell factory in Wingham by the car load and sold in great quantities.. The store is large having now a good stock but comparatively little doing. Do you think present conditions of great mergers is better for our land? I am not in a position to say much about the church merger in the west, but no doubt in many cases it was' beneficial ,where small churches had great difficulty in financing and run- ning. I came across a minister who told me great contention existed be- tween the two denominations who were scrapping most of the time, he did his level beet to bring them to- gether in Christian 'unity, but found t practically impossible, so he 1 hem to fight it out.
