interesting psychology. 1t was on

clined to believe
The dirt caused by your little
son is more forgivable than the
dirt caused by your little daughter
not because he is the son of the
house and can do no wrong-but
because little boys are not supposed
to have natural aptitude for tidi-
ness. They can be taught to be
tidy, but it takes a great deal of
patience to secure results, whereas
when little girl leaves playthings

It Runs Through
My Mind
BIT POLLY J. HANST
A Bit Of This and That

One of the most interesting
things about seeing friends again
whom you have not seen for a
quarter of a century, is to note how
much they have not changed
Girls who once had spirit, still
have spirit
Girls who once were sweet, have
grown sWeetcr.
Ones whose thoughts were ON
self are even more on self
Those with a youthful sense of
humor have a grown up sense of
humor-that makes them delight
full companions.
Some who carried the burdens
of their schOol-now carry the
burdens of the world-the weight
of which shows in their faces
If | we're TO make a choice | be-
lieve | would take the spirited ones
who also have a sprinkling of sweet
ness Like the person who respond
ed to the question, How are you?'
"Oh, I'm just fine today l have
cancer of the blood and usually l
have one good day a week Wasn't
it nice that today was my good day?'
This is the season for digging and
delving into written matter When
it's time to throw magazine away is
when l find some of the incest things
sometimes some of the most
amusing.
But l liked a little filler at the
end of very old magazine article
that was titled Youth"
Youth
Youth is not a time of life-it is
a state of mind. 1t is not a matter of
ripe cheeks, red lips, and supple
knees; it is a temper of the will, a
quality of the imagination, vigor
of the emotions; it is a freshness of
the deep springs of life Youth
means a temperamental predom-
nance Of courage over timidity, of
the appetite of adventure over love
of ease This often exists in a man
of fifty, more than in boy of
twenty Nobody grows old by mere
~ living a number of years; people
grow old by deserving their ideals
Years wrinkle the skin, but to give
up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry doubt, self-distrust, fear and
despair-these are the long. long
years that bow the head and turn
the growing spirit back to dust.

The Washington Last Mans

bottle Of wine for the last man

The second one, a double sized
sherry, occupied the place Of
honor last night with the old

mented Italian chianti. After
all these years since the end of
World War I. the cork popped
and the wine went sour.
Both bottles will be guarded
until next year, when the group,
originally 100 World War vet
Grams, meets again. The purpose
of the club was recounted at the
18th annual banquet last night
in the China Doll Restaurant,
627 H street NV, with some so
