KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY PROF. JOSEPH JASTROW WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Rexistered U. 8. Patent Office. You are taking part in a discussion. You say: “I think” this is the best thing to do, or the right way of look- ing at it. The other fellow says: “I feel” quite differently. You are both going through the same processes. On o simple fact, as whether two and two make four, you have neither a feeling nor an opinion. But most of your de- cisions are so complex that opinion and feeling combine, The opinfon is sup- posed to be reached by reason; the feeling by emotion. They are usually strangely mixed. You may call it a sentiment. In the country districts the sentiment strongly favors prohibition; in the cities it runs the other way. A sentiment is a mix- ture of opinfon backed by some facts and reasoning, and of a fecling backed by a habit or inclination. When feel- ing gets the better of reasoning, you call it a prejudice. When public “feel- ing” runs high, or public “opinion” scttles down to one way of looking at things or one way of voting or behav- ing, it is all one process. It is think- ing with a strong element of emotion. We all take pride in being reasonable. What we object to In people who think diflerently is that they are so unreason- able. It would help matters if every- !body recognized how much thinking is |partly emotional. We belleve what it is pleasant to belleve, what we wish and hope for, what falls in with our general habits and training and In- terests, and so glves satisfaction. When there is strong conviction con- nected with a belief, yor. may suspect that emotion has more to do with it [than reason.

It was just & year ago that she had come to stay with Aunt Nancy while her mother went traveling in search of health. Such a happy vear as it had been for Aunt Nancy, Uncle Peter and for Joan her- self. Many of Nancy's friends gave birth- day parties for their small children, but Nancy felt strongly on the subject. Lit- tle children should not be overexcited, | made to feel too important or given too rich food. A party did all of these. Joan did have a little birthday cake with three candles. The cake was a sponge mixture and was simply iced in white. She shared it with Aunt Nancy. In the afternoon Joan was buttoned into her leggings. Her little tan coat with beaver collar and cuffs, her little hat with beaver facing. were slipped on offered quality of the highest type at the lowest price consistent with such quality. and she set out with Aunt Nancy to | take a gift to her grandmother.

But it seemed to me that they soon lost their lustre and looked faded, so 1 began to wash them all with Lux. “Shortly after that I came to New York to work. My whole wardrobe was on a very meager scale. For instance, I rarely had more than 3 pairs of stockings at a time. “Yet several times I have heard comments on my won- derful-looking stockings, and only the other day one of the girls asked me how I managed to look ‘like a million’ on $20 a week! “The chief reason is that I never take chances when washing my clothes. Dresses, even the $9.45 kind, as well as stockings, wear twice as long, washed in Lux, and always look nicer, too.”— Dorothy Ranson, 99 Joral- emon St., Brooklyn.
