V; 4 A ; 'A ' , Haviivr fippn f ol .uidcrinq: Her the Indiana courts, perhaps, was that which charged Mrs. McNally with murdering twin babies, born to her last December. Her accurer was Frank McNally, her middle-aged, factory-worker husband. A month after the babies were born. McNally said, his w;fe took them t? Chicago and ret'irr-d with twin dolls. She cared for these, re continued, exactly as if thy were babies, rocking them, airing them in their baby-carriage, apparently nursin" them and bathing them. Mrs. McNally, however, stated 'that there never had been ar.y babies, only dolls, and that she enjoyed tlse experience cf fooling the world. The only difficulty, she said, came about when women of the neighborhood called to see the babies. Then she had to pretend that they were asleen and couldn't be seen. McNallv previously made it quit plain trnt he was one of these fooled by the "d.l rnax." II carried the babies arour.d and fondled them for weeks, he said, under the impression that thev were flesh and blood children, and hi? own! Mrs. McNally is but twenty-six and locks yean yourfger. No one was able to prove that thera had been any real babies which were killed. Furthermore, she seemed so to enjoy the memory of her prank that jury and court alike were sympathetic. It took very little time for them to set her fro-. She left the court room smiling. AND THEN She went to the nearest department store and bought herself a pair cf huge dolls cf the lifesize, "character" type, and went home hugging them to her heart! Psychologists tell us that the mentality flows along like a smooth, clear stream when it is normal, growing in breadth and depth with age. But if an obstacle is dropped into ita bed during the young days when it is narrow and shallow and not strong enough to sweep obstructions out of its path, it is likely to become diverted and to rush into a course not quite straight or normal. The obstacle may be some childish experience which ha- set up more than the Lrain fihrj can bear cf fear, terror, anger, sorrow anything that is violently antagonistic to peace and happiness. F.ut whatever the nature of the ob-acle which thus diverts the course of the mind, it 's. bo zrA to set up r.ne or more mental or prhap- v , sical idiosyncrasies connected with the or stae'e directly but yet so deeply in the sub'or.-'Mra-r.ers that the connection and poil!y the obitacb itself shall have become erad.cktcd from the csnsciou?n?s. Su'h r.n id osyr.crasy, sienc explain, is th "doll fixation." It ties back to a happeni-- f tap little girl life; sme event which re--:.-:; ctracrcinan emoti .n centering round or connected v.-.m do.
