Writing What We Think
Every newspaper man and woman at some
time or another, wishes for the time when he
or she could turn loose and write just as they
feel, disregarding all rules of journalism and
ood taste.
Society editors have, at different tiines.
written clever articles ridiculing typical so-su-ty
events, such as playing up the groom
by oinjj into detail in describing his cos
tume, giving little attention to the bride.
Up in Wakefield, Mass, the editor of the
Dailv Item stood it as long as he could, and
said what he wanted most for Christmas was:
- A gown or decoration that isn't "pretty".
A hostess who dtesn't look "charming".
- A table that isn't "attractively set".
A cake, bouquet or gift that isn't "beauti
ful.'' refreshments that are not dainty, de
licious, delectable, or delightful or maybe
delovely: a meeting at which "a general good
time" was not had by all.
A meeting or event at which no "enthusi-
i
s-m was shown: an attendance that was "un-u-uuliy"
large; or a Christmas tree that vvas
r. t "H.ily" decorated.
Doesn't anybody ever run something that
is a flop?" the Item writer asked. "Are there
no distressed brides who look sloppyr or
doesn't any hostess or program chairman ever
louse up the refreshments or the entertain
ment?' He opined that "there must be some meet
ings for which only a few show up and some
oi uie piogiams must ian to evoKe entnusi
astic support' or 'approval'."
"In other words,'' he concluded, "doesn't
anybody ever have something once in a while
that smells?"

was the name in the original lyric. But an
other Rosalie in another song was the rage

Rosalies is a crowd. Almost certainly you
oidn't know that Adelina Patti. the great
puma donna, was the toast of the day, and
when there was a practical need of supplant
ing Rosalie, her name was chosen and. you
can't doubt, with better effect.
And. unless your eyes were sharp, and you
had more time to read newspapers over the

Is tfer any such thing as a broken heart?
Aaiwer: People don't "die of a
broken heart" as old-time novel
ists imagined. Emotions like fear
and despair can affect the way
your heart functions the rate of
its beat, for instance though they
can do it no organic damage, still
less cause it to rapture or "break".
But someone who is neurotically
lacking In the power to adjust to
disappointments and frustrations
may be thrown by disappointment

active depression" in which, while
it lasts, he has no interest in living

Ar competitors who vse luck
charms "poor sports"?
Answer: Yes, though the prac
tice is unimportant since it cannot
possibly affect the outcome of a
contest; But a person who believe
in charms is childish, and a child
can't be a really "good sport",
even though he tries to- act lika
(CerrrltK ISO, Ki., W-toum trt-Tnts. Im.)
Did the fiercest bottles do the
most mental damage?
Answer: No, writes Dr. Elmer
Klein in the Journal of Nervous
and Mental Diseases. Fifty per
cent of the psychiatric casualties
of the Iwo Jima campaign were
returned to active duty after
a comparatively short rest and
treatment with sedatives, whilu
th average . discharge rate in
psychiatric hospitals was ten to
twelve per cent. This was because
lighting such as that on two
breaks down more men who are
basically healthy-minded, and no
matter w hat he goes through, it is
a man's basic mental health that
makes him get west.
Charles Miller: "Twice a year is
fine, if they would change the
hours to other than everybody's
working hours It makes it too ex
pensive when we have to take time
off our jobs, pay at the lane and.
if necessary, at garages. ( rectify
