elsewhere.
When Jackson went out from North
Carolina to Nashville, Tenn, to prac-

boarding house kept by the widow Of
| Col. John Donelson to live. It was there

story. She had been not long separated
from her husband, Lewis Robards, be-
cause he made life unbearable by his
insane and unjustifiable Jealousy.
Rachel Robards was the only love of
Andrew Jackson's life-at least 30 far

They were exact opposites. She was

It was too bad that Andrew Jack

have to begin under such circumstances.
But there Is no doubt-though some Of
his neighbors sought to have It other
wise-that both he and Mrs. Robards
conducted themselves blamelessly from
start to finish.
Doubtless nothing would have come Of
the affair If Rachel and Lewis Richards
had not become reconciled and the hus-

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT roRsr.

Most things can be initiated well
enough to pass casual inspection. A
good skin can be faxed; eyes can be
made to seem large and bright; hair
made to look wavy; wrinkles can be
covered up-there is almost no end to
the pleasant receptions woman can
practice If she cares to.
One Of the easiest of these receptions
Is to create q sense Of animation and
vice for the stupid woman. or for the
thoughtleSs one. The clever woman is
usually naturally animated, having 50
much to do and to say: but she may
not be gay, and gaiety and animation
seem to go together.
It Is done with color and design.
Never wear a dark dress without adding
some vivid touch Of color and some bit
Of rather striking design. Once we wore
artificial shoulder flowers, but that style
has passed. We can still use scarfs.
Preferably, for Autumn frocks, they
should be made as part Of the dress
All dresses can have collar and cuffs,
and these may always be in another
color. AS a rule, 1t Is bad to wear q
hat that matches the rest of the outfit;
much more amusing effects are gained
by color contrast with hat and handbag
A dark suit. bright bag and hat. or
bright suit and dark hat and bag. follow
good rule.
With a dress of plain material. use
design with scarf and bag, or with the
collar, the belt or hat trimming. The
design will be useless unless 1t Is bold
and original. When the dress has de-
sign. gain your contrast by plain Access
series.
All these things you'll say you knew!
It's ABC sort Of advice-but not often
followed. But you are planning your
color schemes first Of all. Don't be
afraid to use color, sombre clothes make
you seem sombre. Only don't mix too
many colors. A basic color and one for
contrast is your best rule for each dress.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTRoW.

tive or inherited. which in turn ac-
counts for how we all come TO behave
like human beings, as well as for why
In so many important ways we behave
differently. What We are TO begin with
goes far to determine what we can make
of ourselves.
Instinct in man acts on the human
level. Instinct changes in character
at each level of animal life: instinct
and that from instinct In bears. and
that from instinct in babies. The ma
ture behavior Of humans Is so complex,
so variable, so flexible that IL would
be impossible to develop II the patterns
were at all rigid TO begin with. The
infant tends to vocalize by stress Of in
stinct; 1t learns to speak by training.
So 1t follows that we talk both by in
stinct and by intelligence: and that how
well we talk. or sing, or dance. or think,
results from what the original equip
ment offers by way Of facility or Its ab-
sence. Since man Is subject to q con-
siderable range Of such tendencies,
which ones dominate and determine be-
havior Is again the issue Of how strong
each Is to begin with. and what train =.
ing it receives to develop or indulge or
suppress 1t.
There Is something in the original
endowment that tends toward making
men quarrelsome and hard to get along
with, and something that tends to make
them sympathetic and tolerant; some
thing on which you can build to make
, them so. Obviously in every practical
program training and education must
do the bigger Job: but the success Of
that job depends on what you have to
work with.
1t Is reasonable and useful to call
such trends instructive. to recognize the
instructive side OF behavior. as we'll as
the acquired or intelligent side: to rec
q way related to the far more rigid In
stinctive behavior patterns of animals !:
yet that human behavior Is 50 much
more flexible and complex that the role
Of instinct In 1t must be very different

Favors look very pretty on the chill
dren's party table. but at that place
the "eats" are the one only consid-
Grafton. so the little gifts will be more
appreciated If the giving OF them Is
made into a game. Wrap them up in
tissue paper. Hide one Of them in an
empty room, then have the children
come In and hunt. Let the finder stay
in the room while you hide another,
and so on. always letting the lucky
ones stay in the room while the others
hunt. When all have been found, let
the children open their packages. Or
you can have all the little gifts differ
emit and let each be opened as found.
This play occupies about half hour
