JUST BETWEEN US Things Closing in on You? Regulate Your Duties In The Order Of Importance
By Nancy Mottram NANCY Have you ever felt that things were closing in on you? There is the contented feeling for weeks at a time when everything moves along smoothly and as far as you're concerned you're at peace with the world. Suddenly, you wake up some cheerful morning and find that things are happening all at once, until you begin to feel swamped. There are about six deeds to do at once, and trouble keeps piling up till you can't see your way out. There might be a case when, no matter what you do, you'll incur someone's anger. Or things happen three at a time and you find yourself in the middle with no solution. It's then that you'd like to call it all off, and hide in the most convenient cave. But what can you do? Instead of flying around madly, and getting more snarled up than ever, sit down and set your mind to working. It can be figured out with some degree of effort. You might like to throw everything over, but in this day and age, you can't. Sort all your duties and pick out the most important one to do. You have certain obligations to other people as well as to yourself, and when an important decision is in the offing, it requires a lot of thinking and deliberation on your part, not a half-formed solution that is immediately put into operation. Many times, though you don't particularly want to do something that's expected of you, you have to give in once in a while to please another. But at the same time, you have something to say. Your mind is your own and your actions should be controlled by your regard for the other fellow's wishes and yours, not jump when a friend tells you to do a certain thing. No other human being can regulate your movements without consideration of your own personal plans. Every problem has its answer. And the problems that affect you are up to you alone. You can't ignore all the demands on your time. You've got to learn early which are important and which can be ignored. If you spend some brain power you'll come out on top. The same thing applies in accepting your engagements. You know you can't do two things at once, so don't try. Don't say yes to every request when you know you won't be able to follow through, and then have to worry about refusing later on. That only promotes bad will on all sides. Make an effort to regulate your social life and that trapped feeling will come less often.
Green Can Make You Blue When Life Looks Blackest
Do you feel blue today? Have you ever called a coward yellow? Do you see red when something makes you mad? Turn white when frightened, or green when sick? If you've used any of these expressions, you're conscious of the many psychological meanings which we automatically associate with color. Psychologists experimenting in apparatus-filled laboratories are scientifically determining the effect that color has on human emotions and emotions. A famous psychologist, Dr. Joseph Jastroy, found a difference in color preference between men and women. A man's favorite color is blue; Eve's is red. Another authority, von Allesch, tried to determine the esthetic effect of color upon different individuals. He found that red, yellow and orange are almost always felt as being "warm," while grey-blue is the "coolest" color. Clinicians have found that some people actually think in colors; when they hear a symphony, for example, they visualize a kaleidoscopic series of hues. Brighton Outlook The proper use of color in home decorating can make a world of difference in your outlook on life. A subtle use of well-chosen colors can make a "cold" or "warm" apartment or house quite comfortable. Color camouflage is as much fun as it is practical. Suppose you live in a desert house. By using a cool blue-green color scheme you can make it seem an oasis even thought the temperatures outside is 110 in the shade. Cool colors (those containing blue) are always soothing when used in southern or western exposures, or in traffic zones, where street noises tend to intensify the color scheme. Cheerful yellows and warm reds are wonderful in northern or eastern exposures. A deep piled ruby red wool carpet, for example, is as good as an open fire on a cold wintry night. Set off the glowing color of the floor covering with a feather chair in a sunny tone of gold texture weave. Then let the north winds blow unheeded. Color can brighten in your life. Don't ignore them!

Mrs. Henderson Would A-Shopping Go; Found More Gifts Home Than in Stores
Birthday or no birthday, Mrs. James A. Henderson insisted on doing her Christmas shopping yesterday morning. What she didn't know while she was "battling" her way through the front line trenches adjacent to the stores uptown was that back in her home on 1030 Hardee Road there were quite a few birthday surprises just waiting to be discovered by her. Among the gifts which she found when she returned home were two dozen beautiful American Beauty roses, and a pair of rhinestone earrings with matching bracelet, both gifts from her husband. Her three sons, Pete, Bill and Jimmie Jr., presented her with a jeweled hand-made perfume bottle which came from Czechoslovakia. A porcelain dish full of hand-made artificial flowers was given to her by Mrs. George Saunders. Mrs. M. W. Starbuck presented her sister with an orchid corsage. The moral of this story says Mrs. Henderson, is "Don't do your Christmas shopping unless you can do it on your birthday!"
