KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

are under the influence of q profound
sympathetic emotion, there Is q good
deal going on in your physiological
works.
Sympathy is excited by way Of the
higher centers, by way Of what we see
and hear as well as feel and smell. but
this IN turn may work quite directly Gas
sickening odor) or quite indirectly by
association or imagination.
The emotion OF sympathy varies
Some persons are hard as nails, and
others soft as putty. This general emo
tional susceptibility may be associated
with ready expression and an intense
organic radiation of the emotion: and 1t
may not. The people who weep most
readily are not the most sympathetic;
they are more apt to be the persons who
most readily lose control. or just have
that kind OF sympathetic nervous sys-
tenn that has reader access to the
glands and the rest Of the bodily mech
anisms. They are often somewhat hys-
terical.
The susceptibility to the several kinds
OF sympathy also varies irregularly.
Years ago tried to 1lnd out whether
persons who just couldn't look at
trapeze performers or steeple climbers
themselves suffered more intensely when
In dangerous places: but didn't get very
far. That kind Of sympathy may be
less upsetting than the sight of suffer-
ing: some Just can't go into hospitals,
and the operating room makes them
faint. The sympathy Of pity Is the most
intimate: yet any kind Of tender feel
ing opens the tear glands and induces
an organic emotion; q thrill of patriot
ism as well as Of horror may do it.
So this budding psychologist need
feel no concern nor bewilderment about
her symptom; It's quite common and
has no particular significance as a mat
ter OF mental hygiene. While a close
relation between emotional sympathy
and a ready organic expression Is pre-
sumaoly the more normal one, excep-
lions seem as common as the rule.
People who blush easily are not neces-
sarily most susceptible to embarrass-
ment.

Amy's Card.

A MY reached forward with tren-
~ ulous smile on her lips and Sc
"A lected the prettiest Mothers day
card on the rack She flushed
slightly as she paid the clerk.
Anything else. Miss Adams?" the
clerk asked genially.
"N-nothing," Amy answered.
At the door q young girl Of IS or 16
l-look at your Mothers day card?" she
asked, her eyes filling piteously with
tears.
The girl was tall, almost as tall as
why, certainly" Amy replied, in
some surprise. Il believe there are
others on the rack just like this one. "
"Oh. isn't it lovely?" the girl cried.
Il wanted to get my mother something
for Mothers day-always before I have
wonderful basket of candies, but this
year" she sighed.
You are in some sort Of trouble?"
Amy asked quickly.
The girl dropped her eyes and then
raised them, again filled with tears.
"Ah-trouble? Trouble doesn't tell it, F"
she murmured softly. First there was
the death Of my father and the loss of
all our money. Then they took mother
away to the hospital-so far that can
not be with her, and there is not even
suficient money to buy c-c-card."
Take this one" urged Amy Sympa-
thetically. "Do-please."
Swiftly she forced 1t between the
younger girls fingers and hurried away.
It occurred to her later that the girl
was Singularly well dressed for one in
so dire circumstances, but that was
easily explained by the girls recent loss
Of money. Nor did Amy return to the
drug store for another card for the holi-
shopping list, so that before she re-
turned home 1t was nearly dark.
At the curb before her apartment
building stood q low racing car. Even
Amy's quick glance told her Of the
costlinesS Of that car. Cream colored,
with scarlet wheels and scarlet touches
Of trim here and there, it looked as II
it had been driven directly from the
cleaning window of. some salesroom.
At the wheel young man leaned back
as If he had been waiting. some time.
The moment he caught her eye he
Sprang out and lifted his cap.
II wish to apologize to YOU" he
said at once.
"You must have made some mistake"
Amy told him before he could 60
further.
In her heart she wished that there
might have been no mistake. that this
young man in his stunning looking car
might have really been waiting for her
return.
with a one-sided smile he treasured
her: There Is no mistake-really. We
are neighborS. I have watched you
time and time again. but until this after
noon when I asked the clerk in the
drug store had no idea that we lived
SO close together nor did know your
name.
Amy took q backward step. Could
this wonderful young man be some one
from some hospital which served the
mentally unwell?
"Oh. I'm clumsy. know" he said
"I've told all the last part Arst and the
first part I've not told at all. but you
remember that they say the last shall
be first and the first shall be last"
he paused. What came for was to

begged! The little rascal She ought

as it were-and we started out this
afternoon. Sis promising show us
some acting If we'd let her have the
term of lessons upon making good"
Amy now recalled the card and the
girl in the drug store.
I'VE cruised about a bit and Sis
couldn't think of any stunt to pull until
We saw you buying the Mothers day
card. OF course don't think that she
intended to take the card honestly, you

That was quite all right" Amy said
with smile.
And thanks to you. she's to have her
term of dramatic art lessons" he said,
seeming to try to drag the conversation
out to its utmost limit. And being al
most neighbors. as we are, maybe you'd
like to see Sis now and again If LII
brought her over?"
Father and I should be delighted"
said Amy. hoping that she was not
smiling too much.
And here's the card" he went on.
Wont your sister keep that for a
good luck mascot?" asked Amy.
But it cost more than a dollar" he
protested. II looked when was ask
ing your name of the clerk"
But had no use for 1t. anyhow"
said Amy. You see. I have had no
mother since I was 8 and it was
only because felt sort Of lonesome for
her that bought this card at ALL"
And some way the young mans eyes
seemed to tell her that she would never
again be lonesome. Anyhow. that was
the message Amy read there. and it
turned out later that she had read
right.

on the Virginia side of the river q few

The gunboat Reliance, after: coming

back today TO her former station along

reported having discovered with the

into q Confederate camp that was Wis

The Reliance was not struck, al
though one shot passed just above her
smoke stack. A 12-pound shot struck
the Yankee on her port side, just for

storage room. The Pocahontas and Ice
Boat lay of q short distance, but did
not engage in the attack.
