KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

untidy was an unintelligent, a stupid
way of living. You waste 10 times the
time in finding things than would be
needed to keep them in order. Well, it
is! But 1t is still truer that it is an
ugly, an unesthetic way of living. and
that affects many more than the loss of
time. TidineSs is good sense and good
taste; it scores in mental fitness.
The next thing in favor of good taste
is by no means the least; good taste
is good thrift. If you have good taste.
you won't buy as many things that
you'll get tired of. If good taste were
more general, the standard of goods
offered to the public would be much
higher
Good taste likewise isn't all of
piece; so much depends upon standards
and patterns. In general Americans
dress we'll, but many who dress in good
taste live amid furnishings that wary
from the atrociouS to the bearable. It's
more of test of mental fitness to fur
nish your house in good taste than to
clothe your body In good taste. You
can't quite leave either to the tailor or
the decorator, for both express your
personality. You wear the clothes and
it is your house, and you will properly
be rated by both expressions Of your
standards of living.
It's true that you may have more
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-23

Everything that enters into the stand
ard of living contributes to mental fit
ness. The psyche that went into pSy-
chology when the Greeks put 1t there
includes the muses. and graces of life,
as well as the sciences and virtues, and
we want to keep them there. Living is
as much way of feeling as of think
ing Certainly your plane Of living is
even more determined by your taste
than by your intelligence.
That isn't very far from what we
mean when we speak of man of Gull
ture as well as of education-he has
cultivated the arts and graces; he has
good taste. On the whole. we may hold
that all these values go together in so
far as they enter into higher standards
of living. That doesn't mean that good
taste and good sense are necessarily
combined. Far from it, We are not
equally endowed in all directions.
Some worthy citizens have no sense
for music and quite as many no sense
of color or beauty. They can live in
the ugliest surroundings and not feel it,
and live without music in their lives
happily. I know distinguished law
yer and judge with a first-rate mind
who answers to this description. To
him art is sealed book

BEAUTY CHATS
A Properly Fed Skin.

1t has been said on the best of au-
thority that after certain age the oils
lessen in the system. 1t is a very slow
procedure, heightened out over many
years. but it is just this period of time
in a large measure that causes the skin
to Shrivel. Women. and men, too, who
can make up to the skin enough oil to
keep it fed will retain much of the
youthful freshness and the elasticity
that will ward off sagging and disfigur-
ing lines. 1t is not only the drying
effect of our Overheated homes, but
much havoc can be wrought by expo
sure to the wind and sunshine, and
none of us can go without these advan-
tages, not even that of the very much
heated buildings.
1t is an easy matter to counterfeit all
this tendency to drying out the skin if
we give it enough oil whenever it is
needed, and with most people it means
little each day. Creams are prefer
able to plain oil, because of the qualities
Of the other ingredients in the formulas.
Cleansing creams need not have highly
priced and nourishing oil in them, as
they are merely for dissolving soil in
the pores. and should be wiped out of
the skin as soon as their purpose has
been served. Creams that are used for

Next wipe off the acne cream and
sponge the face with an acne lotion
made OF one-half pint of rosewater
and 30 grains of sulphate of zinc. Let
this dry on the skin. Makeup may
now be applied
Besides having this treatment once
week. it is necessary to wash the face
with soap and water every night and
use the acne lotion. An excess of sweets,
starcheS and meats should be avoided
in ones diet. In digestion, constipation
must also be overcome.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

wishes, so We take advantage of its as
surance and make our wills.
We may be interested in some par
ticuIar institution or relative to whom
we are eager to give what we have
Certain choice possessions we wish to
pass on to special friends.
Sometimes wills are made to cut off
certain people and institutions rather
than to place money in the hands of
those we prefer This is a negative and
spiteful action prompted by a desire
to display and perpetuate our grudges
long after We are gone.
Probably no man has a chance to
complete ell the projects he starts dur
ing his lifetime. A will is probable
guarantee of the continuance of line
OF work one has not time to finish. We
get lot Of satisfaction, while We are
still alive, in the contemplation of what
will be done with our money when we
are gone.
Some men derive the greatest pleas
ure from diSpoSing of their wealth with
their own hands. Others hang on to
every penny while they live but are
exceedingly generous in their wills.
Freak wills are rather common Many
place restrictions on the personal lives
Of the receivers, Stipulating marriage,
or confluence to inherit the fortune,
etc. Such foolish wills are often set
aside and become null and void. This
type of will, affording as it does a good
opportunity for complicated plot, makes
a fine theme for many a novelist.
If We have anything to leave we are
likely to make will because we are
interested in what becomes Of the fruit
of our toll: because we are sentimental
about some of our things which we wish
to fall into friendly hands: and because
it is businesslike thing to do. We
make freak Wills to express our in
dividuality.
