KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. Sentiment. ‘There is a strange resistance to senti- ment as though it were a weakness in human nature, and the proper thing is to be tough, indifferent; stoic if you know the philosophic term. That's all a complete mistake; there isn't any side of human nature so well worth cultivating as that of sentiment. If you had no sentiments, you might as well be dead, and nobody would have any regrets that you were. The trouble is that we have made the word “senti- ment” mean over-sentimental, and haven't put any other word in its place to mean properly sentimental, We don’t want to be mushy, and we know by many experiences that sentiments may take the bit between their teeth and run away with reason. Then there are the “Sentimental Tommy’s,” and the world couldn't get on so well, without a generous quota of them; and Barrie who has given us that fine picture of a boy of senti- ment shows his secret fondness for the | your lad even as he laughs at his excesses. Women are supposed to be pecul- farly sentimental and this, if indulged in by men, would e them effemi- nate. Sentiment is supposed to belong to the flapper stage in either sex, be- fore our brains have settled down to their proper place in the hard skull of fact. Also, business is business, and any regard for the other fellow is soft. So take a loungy posture, bite your cigar between your teeth, talk gruff, set your jaw, make it plain by your Jooks that no one can put anything over on you, that you are not in busi- ness for your health, and let the other fellow walk the floor, and you can pose for your picture as & man with- out sentiment, then give it to your friends if you have any; only that would be a plece of sentiment that ‘would give you away. Sentiment is derived from the same root as sense, including common sense. Sense is feeling as well as thinking, be- cause at bottom they, have much in common. At the top, where they bear frult, they are and should be distinct; but often the flavor of the fruit of the tree of reason lies in its sentimental quality. It's at the upper end that the matter eff mental fitness. Observe, the first piace, how closely the two, intelligence and emo- tion, are fused. You are just as a) y Yubllc sentiment is favor of prohbiition, or against it (take your choice), as that public opinion determines the attitude. Opinion is an intellectural word, and sentiment an emotional one; the result may be 50-50, but on most complicated issues that affect people deeply and determine their behavior, the odds are that sentiment is in the lead. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 11 (N.AN.A.) —The dizzlest opening in the village was the world premiere of Marion Davies’ first talking picture. The entire theater was bought out by the most brilliant luminaries in the cinema and theatrical profession, and the players were presented to the audience by for- mer Ambassador Moore. Every inch of ermine in the colony had an outing. Pearls the size of moth perfectly saged the face-lifter, hair-dyer and beauty- In that sense we are all sentimental and should be s0. The proper idea and ideal is to cultivate the proper senti- ments and keep reason and emotoin well in hand; they can be made to pull together as a well-matched team. “Feel right and youll act right,” is a pretty good rule of mental hygiene. ‘Your fears, your hates, your prides, your shames, your griefs, your anxieti are sentiments as well as your friend- ships and loves and sympathles and loyalties generally, your attachments to causes and institutions. Without sentiment your job is only a meal ticket, and your home and your country only & lodging house. Without patriotism a nation is dead. ‘When good fellows get together the pleasant weather that accompanies them is the sunshine of their common sentiments. Be sensitive and sensible at once and you'll be properly senti- mental. Don’'t be afraid of having feelings and showing them; be as gener- ous with your compliments as with ; keep your emotional life active, as alert as your intellectural life, and the result will show in your happi- ness account, whatever your bank ac- count, and quite likely in both. Man doesn’t live by bread alone. Don't treat sentiment as a stepchild; it's kith and kin of your human nature. ‘To get your proper growth you have to grow in sentiment as well as in ideas. A he-man no less than a she-woman is sentimental, the man virilely so. (Copyright, 1920 Willie Willis “I didn’t know it was wrong to say it at the table.
