MENTAL
ATTITUDES
By
ELLEN ADAIR
The Influence of
"VE need not necessarily belong to the
VC!
order to hold the belief that the human
mind hag a tremendous Influence on the
health of the human body. For doctor
have been advocating that principle for
many a long day, And yet It la quite
extraordinary to realize how few people
believe anything of the sort. They re
gard physical health as something en
tirely different and disconnected from
mental health, ami when a perfectly log
ical sequence of events draws their at
tention to the connection, they laugh
skeptically and refuse to admit the facts
of the case.
By merely looking at a person, we can
readily tell uhat his or her particular
mental attitude may be. The Immortal
Raliac believed In this theory so strongly
that when he wished to portray some spe
cial character In his novels, he would
walk the streets of Paris for das. seek
ing a model. Then In some particular
gait, or turn of countenance, or manner
of carriage, he would find what he was
looking for and reproduce that gait, or
turn of countenance, or carriage, In his
own person until his mental attitude cor
responded with what his conception of
the model's mental attitude might be.
For he was firmly convinced that the
outward and Islb1e signs as manifested
physically are merely the expression of
the soul within.
t i
If Balzac wished to portray the char
acter and the Inmost thoughts of the
man who Is "down and out." he didn't
stay home and write within the shelter
of four v. alls. No. Indeed. He roamed
the Latin quarter In search of a down-at-heel,
solitary shabby failure, and he scru
tinized his walk, the way he held his
head, the ery shuffle of his feet on the
pavement.. Then Balzac went off with
his own head drooping dejectedly and his
feet shuffling along, for a 1 the world the
exact Impersonation of the shabby dere
lict he had Just encountered. For, just as
he believed that the mentnl attitude pro
duces the physical attitude, conversely,
he believed that the physical attitude can
produce the mental one, too. Hence,
through III.' wondirful pen we have some
of the most life-like character portrayals
In the whole i-oursc of fiction.
The fashionable "slouch" so popular
among certain damsels today Is certainly
conducive of a dull mental attitude.
Moi cover the thoughts which you have
are not only wiltteti on the face, but pro
duce chai.ges In the muscles of the body.
CHILDREN'S CORNER
A Kite
ON'CIi upon a time there was a tiny
fairy who lived on the top of u tele
graph pole.
You don t think fairies live there, you
say? The iden! Did ou ever climb up
to see?
Thla fairy had lived there a long time
to long that lie never remembered qult
how ho sot there or where he came from.
Ho only Knew he was there and that his
Job waa to help the messages get around
the poles.
"A Job." you ask?
Of course he had a Job everybody In
the world, even a fairy, has work to do,
and the folks who tend to their Jobs are
the hippy people!
Now. this particular fnlry worked very
faithfully and tended to the messages anil
everything Just as he should.
But one fine day he suddenly felt very
tired and. wished he could take a vacation
you know the feeling vourself. The trou
ble was he couldn't take a vacation upon
the telesraph pole-that was hlH regular
place, not a vacation: nd he didn't know
how tn get down! If he could only re
member how ho got there, maybe that
would tell him how to get down. He took
an hour off from work and thought dili
gently about It, but in vain he simply
couldn't remember anything about It.
Jtrst as he was kneeling almost discour
aged about It, he. noticed some boys down
In a vacant lot near the telegraph pole.
What could that strange object they had
be? It was apparently made of bits of
wood and string and white paper, and It
had a Ion; tail of cloth. The fairy
couldn't Imagine what it was; so he lis
tened carefully A kite, the boys called
It, hut what was a kite?
Just then one boy ran across the lot
anT the strange looking kite darted
from the ground and began sailing like
a bird through the air. Tho fairy
'.vntched It with delight. Closer and
clocer townrds the telegraph pole it
sailed so close that It almost seemed
as If it would catch In the wires. Hut
TOWN OP FUNNY DREAMS
THE BACKWARD BAYS
And Their Humorous Habits.
By Bob Williams
Tou know that verse that told about '
The Funny Backward Days?
Well, guess today I'll tell you of
The Bucking Backward Bays.
These Uaj were Horses that were Queer;
They'd never run the same
As other Critters In the Town
That's how they earned their Name,
Their jQwner hitched them to a Cait
Their tails in front, of course

Mind Over Matter
Have you ever heard of an "Indignant
back?" The other evening at the theatre
a group of giggling girls kept up a low j
murmur or conversation uuring tno nrsi
act. A certain lady seated a few rows
In front was excessively annoyed at th
Interruption of her enjoyment and looked
round more- than once at the delinquents.
If any human back expressed Indigna
tion, certainly hers did her whole figure
seemed to bristle with wrathl Merely to
sit behind her, one could tell how angr,y
she was.
Dejection and melancholy arc alwayi
clearly expressed In the human figure,
too. One doesn't need to observe the
face at all to learn that fact. The back
Mew of th depressed person Is generally
quite enough!
Where the Influence of mind over mat
ter Is concerned, there are some quite
well-known occurrences which never nre
questioned. For Instance, sudden fright
will bring on a faint with some people,
nrd worry will iooncr or later entirely
undermine the health. For worry is a
phase of fear, and fear Is destructive of
health. If doctors, for example, were
afraid of catching Infectious Illnesses,
there Is little doubt that they would
fall victims to these complaints sooner
or later. But not one doctor In a thou
sand has this fear hence their Immunity.
The rjuestlon of mind over matter is
greater than we can possibly realize. The
cheerful bedside visitor will do more to
tone up the system of the Invalid than
all the tonics In the world. And why?
Because he produces a corr'ipondlnisly
cheerful ntlltude of mind In the Invalid,
and this will inevitably rvact on the
constitution.
If people had a firmer belief in the In
fluence of mind over matter, there would
be Infinitely fner Illnesses and troubles
In the world today.
Dreams
I think of thee In the night.
When all beside Is still,
And the moon comes out with her pale,
sad light.
To sit on the lonely hill:
When the stars are all like dreams.
And the breezes all like sighs.
And there comes a voice from the far-off
streams,
Like thy spirit's low replies.
I think on thee by day,
'Mid the cold and busy crowd,
When the laughter of the young and gay
Is far too glad and loud.
I hear thy soft, sad tone.
Ami thy young, sweet smile I see.
My heart my hcurt were nil alone.
But for Its dreams of thee!
Thomas Hervcy.
Ride
It didn't. It sailed over safely, the long
cloth tall dragging over the top of tho
pole.
Aml the fairy what do you suppose
he did?
Juat as the tall passed over the pole,
he remembered his much desired vaca
tion. Quick as a flash he seized hold
of the cloth kite tall and sailed away
from the polo, away from his Job, out
Into wide sunny space
All afternoon the Kite and the fairy
Just as the tail passed over the pole, he
remembered his much-desired vacation.
flew through the air over houses and
yards and streets. And the wonderful
things they saw gave tho fairy pleasant
thoughts for days to come.
For the fairy went back to work, of
course. Yes, late in the afternoon the
boys' mother called them In. They
iteled In their string In buch a hurry
that their kite got caught on the very
tdegraph polo where the fairy lived.
Quick as a flash the fairy Jumped off
and went back to his Job a wise and
happy fairy.

The Daily Story
Under Patch and Blinder,
One of the first plans the young Tom
Batesonn made nflcr they were married
was to arrange a match between Tom's
old chum, De Foe Forrester, and Mrs.
Tom's life-long friend, Myra Dale.
"Could any two people be better
suited?" said Mrs Tom when Tom hal
laughingly suggested It, "except, of
course, jou and me. Myra always had
to have money. She simply shrivels at
tho thought of being poor, and De Foe,
with his diplomatic career ahead of him.
really needs a tactful, know-wliat-to-sa-nt-the-rlght-tlme
sort of wife. And they
are so good looking they cannot help but
fall In love at first sight. Tom, what
fun It will be to arrange It! Wo won't
tell them till afterward, of course, inr
that would spoil It. You won't tell De
Foe, will you?"
That night Mrs. Tom wrote to Myra,
"0 miles away, bngglng her to spend a
week-end, and as a postscript added.
"You must come because Tom Is asking
his old friend, De Foe Forrester. Ho
In the consular service one of the big
copper Forresters. You are the only ghl
I know who would Interest him," nivl
then as she slipped the letter In Tom's
pocket In the morning she said. "Ho sure
not to let Mr. Forrester suspect our plot.
I haven't brenthed a word of It to Myra.'
and Tom agreed with his wife that se
crecy was an indispensable element In the
8ucce.'n of the Intrigue.
Tom cornered hW old friend for lunch
In tho city and suggested a week-end to
gether. "By the wny." he said, as they
were parting, "you'e met Miss Dale
Myra no? She may be out otcr Sunday.
Horry we can't have you alone, but when
It comes to that. De Foe, you'll like her.
One of those deuced pretty girls that
keeps ou ot arm's length and treats you
like a sister a half dozen girls molded
Into one Spanish eyes. th grace of a
Parlslenne and that faraway hauteur of
a Rus.lan noblewr.mnn Just the sort for
a diplomatist. Hut 1 know ou'd rather
be alone with us, so I'll steer her oft if ,
I can."
On the strength of Mr. Forrester's ne-
cepianc. airs. Liateson tnai nigni wrote
a second letter to Mra "You simply
must come. Myra. Don't tell Tom,
'cause we planned not to let you Into the
secret, but I simply must tell you. Tom
and 1 have decided that you and De
Foe Forrester must marry. You were
meant for each other, we think, and
surely we ought to know."
The next day Myra's acceptance ar
rived, and Mrs. Tom wrote with tele
graphic abruptness'
"Do bring your moU becoming dreses.
That black civet, even If It is last
year's. Men noer caro about the date
of a dress If It h becoming. I have
learned that from Tom. And jour pearls,
even If ou have to set them out of safo
deposit."
Myra was expected Friday mornlnc
and De Foe Forrester was expected to
motor out that evening In time for dinner.
Ten minutes before dinner Tom, who had
Just nnswercd a long-distance message.
In his efforts to find , Mrs. Tom fairly
collided with her as she' was coming from
the front of the house a special delivery
letter In her hand.
"She won't come," said Mrs. Tom.
"He's had a smash-up," said Tom at
the same time, nnd then tho double
calamity was revealed. Devne had been
thrown from his auto on thp way. The
machine wasn't hurt, but he was, stopping
at some wayside doctor's to be handnged.
Ho was coming, anyway. He would lie
there before midnight. Ho was apparently
eager.
But Myra's letter was a complete dis
appointment. "I simply can't come," chc
wrote. "Tho more I think about that
Mr. Forrester, the more I know I won't
like him. I don't wont to meet him. So
I havo left home where you can't even
motor to see me. I have gone to Aunt i
Nellie's, and I had to break n dentlst'd
engagement to do It And my tooth aches
as a result, so you may know how I feel."
That night, when .Mrn Tom's eei still
.smarted with the tears of disappoint
ment shed on Tom's shoulder. De Foo
nrrlved, genial but battered. A St. An
drew's cross of court plaster covered his
aristocratic nose and diew up one side of
his mouth in a foolish smile. Over one
eye he wore a blinder, and In place of n
collar he wore while surgical gauze. Yet
ho was cheerful, even hilarious, and un
mistakably eager. "I'm just a trlde
scratched." ho told Tom. "I enn wear a
collar tomorrow, and I'll try to live down
my facial defects. They will be all right
In a week." Hut when he came In and
found Mrs. Tom alone his geniality took
a decided slump, and when Mrs Tom
casually remarked that Miss Dale was
not coming, ho did not hide his disap
pointment "Let's go over to Myra's, anyway," said
Mrs. Tom to her husband Saturday after
noon when their guest proposed a .spin
In his motor. "I have a queer sort of
feeling that she didn't go to her aunt's
after all.
As they approached they saw Myra
stretched languidly In the hammock nt
tho side of the country house, and nt
Mrs. Dale's suggestion tho two men left
tho car and went with her to where Myra
was reclining. Myra Jumped up with a
start, tried to beat a retreat and then
tried to cover her face with her hands.
But such a Myra! The "deuced pretty
face," of which Tom had told De Foe,
was swathed In a sling of white bandag
ing. The one cheek that showed wns
molded In a generous puff oyer one Span
ish eye.
Mrs. Tom looked appealing!!' at her
husband. Introductions followed and
then Myra explained.
"It was a wisdom tooth. It doesn't
hurt now. and I had to come home from
Aunt Nellie's to have It attended to. He
has fixed It, but I am afraid it still
shows a little. Please don't look at me,"
she begged, and De Foe smiled back sym
pathetically under his black blinder and
cross patches. In spite of herself and In
spite of Mrs. Tom. who. didn't think Myra
was In a condition to Impress De Foe,
she was Induced to pack up and go back
with the Batesons for Sunday, and as
they motored home, with Da Foe and
Myra sitting on the front seat, people
turned to stare back at the damaged
crew.
The week-end party lasted through the
next week's beginning and De Foo and
Tom Bateson mutually agreed that the
workaday world could spare them till
Tuesdav. The "deuced pretty" Myra still
went with a bulging cheek nnd one closed
eye mid De Foe's features were still hid
den under patch and blinder. Myra had
lemalned In unpretentious shirtwaist?.
But De Foe had found her fascinating.
There was something Intangible in her
personality, something apart from her
physical presence, that crept In upon him
and took possession of him. But It was
difficult to propose from under blinder
and court plaster. It would probably be
difficult anyway, mused De Foe. Hav
ing never even thought about It before,
ho didn't know. In his present state of
mind it was Inevitable,
At the cjose of the afternoon Tom and
Mrs. Torn had considerately left them
alone to atroll In a nearby lane. Tom
had decided on this lane as the most
suitable setting for the climax.
"It's like asking you to marry me with
a mask on," De Foe said rather abruptly.
"I couldn't expect you to give me hope
when I looked like this."
Myra laughed until her swollen cheek
almost covered the brown depths of htr
Spanish eyes.
' If you could like me when I look like
this, when I frighten myself In the mir
ror" she stood fctill and held him away
from her "but I knew when the real
thing came externals wouldn't count"

Could you not drink her gaze like wine?
Yet though Its splendor swoon
Into the silence languidly
As a tune into a tune,
Those eyes unravel the colled night
And know the stars at noon.
What be her cards, you aak? Even there

More, having fed, the diamond
Skilled to make base seem brave,
The club for smiting In the dark,
The spade to dig a grave.

Her game In thy tongue is called life
As ebbs thy dally breath.
When she shall speak, thou'lt learn her
