IV . t ' How to Test Their Intelligence. i'f i it v l ! m t OST llluinlUKtlve arc the Dlnet and Simon touts of Intelli gence to determine the tin ntal Httttiiii of children from ihre to llftcen. If u child lesponds inicecss fully It In probably normal In Intellec tual development. Rut If It can mic- ecdonly In tin tests arranged tor younger children. It Id liackvunl. A child of Ihiee whould bo able iO inniprolieud spoken words nnd to nn Hwer idniple questions by .1 Rcolurc. Ask a child of three, "Where are your oycs7"nnd it should Immediately point lo thorn. A child of three uhould bo able to repent Heutenccs of six nylln IiIcb. but not ten. Figures, being more dtfllcult than words, because they do not convey iinj mciinlni; to a child of three, are limited In the test to tuo, Biich uu six-four. When uhovvn tho pictured which Ulnet uses In IiIh testa a child of three will enumerate tho objects; It Ih not possible) for hlin to describe any of (he action In tho pic tures. At four a child should be able to re peat three figures, be able to tell which 1b lhc longer of two parallol lines, nnd be ablo to name familiar ob jects when they nro displayed. Among tho tcstii at Ave years is tho i.oraparlson of weights. A five-year-old child Is able to tell which U the heavier of two blockH equal in slsic and appearaucc. but differing In weight. At the all children succeed in counting four At three no child nan count four, and at four only ebout r0 per cent of tho children tested havo been able to do so. At six years a child should dis tinguish between morning and after noon, should be able to define known objects nnd execute three simultane ous commissions At Mx Dlnet be Hcvch that a child's aesthetic percep tion Is sufficiently developed for It to differentiate between beauty anil ugli ness. For this test Dlnet cmplojs a picturo of fclx heuds of women in three pairs, one of which Is pretty and tho other ugly or actually deformed LITTLE wooden chopping bowl with it knife to fit It will do things Hint an ordinary l.tilfo and board will not accomplish and will sao getting out the big chop ping bowl and knife for n small piece nf work, such as mincing an onion, a carrot, a bit of meat and the like Mean HE home dressmaker is nlwuys discouraged when it comes to hemming a plaited bltlrt The plaits, for some unknown rea sou. tako it into their heads to bang tit different lengths, so that the foot line when finished Is hound to bo un even.

"Add to this that I've Jtibt come back from u trip up the lakes," said the sec ond woman, "and you ciiu marvel some more. "The fact Is," bho continued, "I io spect my skin. Hxpcrlonco has aught mo that I can't afford to abuse it or neglect It. I used cold cream and vol let powder us persistently In the r.uni raer as I do In the winter. You'll no tice, that I always wear a wide brimmed hat that shades my neck us well as my face; tbnt I wenr long sleeves, or long gloves with shorl sleeves, and that on very hot days when I must be outdoors 1 carry sonic kind of suushude, It's a little Incon venient bomctlmes, but I gain In looks and comfort in the end. "My first trip up the lakes several years ago taught mo a lesson that I won't forget. "Like a lot of other foolish girls, I thought I'd ncqulro u coat of tun that would show my friends, when I got homo that I'd really been u couple of weeks on the water. When I got on the boat I threw my hat under tlw bed and rolled up my sleeves und turned In my collar I was going to look like those delicious pictures of yachtlni; girls that you see In tho magazines. "The days wero sunshiny, and there was no delay about getting sunburned, Tho second day I was getting unhappy. Tho third day I was leady to scream. Then somebody told tbe stewardess, and she came to me with witch hazel, cold cream, and a box of talcum pow der which tho advised be to apply lib erally, and thereafter to keep out of the sun. "Dut I was literally ill the icst of that trip, und didn't get over It for a couide of months. My sklu was burn ed so deep that It took a year before I looked decent again. "On this last trip I got acquainted with the captain of the boat He said there was uever u trip but some of the pntbcngers tried to get a deep coat of sunburn to take buck with them and brag about, "'Last trip," ho said, 'I used up all my witch hazel or u couple of girls who bllBtered their arms in tho euti.

He hunted up a doctor when we got to the dock, aud his nose bad to be lanred "I was talking about thU to a doctor friend," continued the woman who rights shy of too much tau, "aud he said that he'd rather tackle almost anything that a patient with u bad cate of sunburn.

"Some day," said tho man to whom this frank confession was inudr, "I think I must write a book entitled, What It Keels Like To Do a Man.' It would be Inteuded solely for feminine consumption. And no doubt tho pub lisher would put upon tho market a companion olumo for men onlv on 'What It Keels Llko To Re a Woman.' This pair of masterpieces, monu mcntnl both In nle anil candor, would have a colossal popularity -or unpop ularity . which Is bometlnies much the same thing In the long run. We win uld till be the wiser, anyhow, for llielr peruaal For no woman really knows the ti tie Inwardness of men So men think And no mau knowo th truo Inwaidnees of women So women think, A genuinely exhaustive mu tual self-explanation would clear away many mysteries. "My treatise on 'Shat It TeelB Like To De a Man' would among other mat ters teach the young lady above al luded to thnt If men must so about tbe world of womankind labelled per fect dears, poor dears und creatures (and I hate reason to suspect that this will forever bo our fate), every sane male cherishes two alternative ambitions He longs either to be u perfect dear or a creature, I am not at all sure that most of us would not rather be creatures tbau perfect Are Sunburn can even develop cun cer, bo said, in a person with delicate skin. It's only tbe Ignorant that go in for a deep coat of tan and such people as can't help themselves, llko men who must work In the open no matter what tho weather Even these, hardened us their skins are, ofteu suf fer from being exposed to tho sun's rajs" , dears. Such is the depravity of men. Dut one point the masculine agree up ou. Wo would rather die than be poor acars. "Let tnc maitc hasto to add Hint I for ono object utterly to the whole classification. That I decline the po sition of poor dear la no proof that I glndden at the prospect of tho rolo of perfect dear or creature. Thero Is a tingle of abjectncs8 in ull tin eo.

It Ib perhapH least audiblo in that of creature; and this Is why creaturcdom will alwayd bo popular among somo of tbo best torts of meu. I am presenting freely to womauklnd a priceless secret whtn I let fall the observation thnt men loathe being pitied They llko being loved, or sympathized with, or 'under stood ' Thero aro some who have a Strang taste for being scolded. Even the henpecked husband is said some times to be happy, Dut the worm turns when be detects that ho Is being Pitied. That is too much. "There is a type of girl who will mairy a man because she is sorry for him Woe betide her; she lays the foundation for every tort of matrimo nial infelicity. I am well aware that proverbs exist which assert that pity is akin to love. The statement Is rather nonsense, anyhowlike many proverbs (A proverb Is often only a platitude which people havo been too lazy to examine and expose ) But the love which is worth having is the love which contains a very strong lugre dlent of admiration Tbe most sueccs ful marriages are mutual admiration societies of two They may exasperate the onlookers. Dut marriages are, not run for the sake of the onlookers. When I hear somebody saying of a wife 'I can't Imagine what she sees to admire in her husbaud," or of a husband, 'I can t imaglue what he sees to admire in his wife,' it is generally safe to ussumc that au ideally succens. full matins has occurred " Seedless Stewed Toraatoci.
