UNTIDY MINDS.
Those who have untidy minds are in as bad, or worse, case as those who are untidy in person or habits: ** I never remember people’s names! ” “ I always forget birthday dates! ” “I read quite a. lot, but as soon as I have finished a book, it is gone from me! ” “ I fancy I said I’d go to tea on Thursday, but I can’t be quite sure! ” "Those tall red flowers —delphiniums, you know . . These, are a few samples of the untidy-minded woman’s utterances (according to the London "Star”). Facts are littered about her mind in the same way that concrete belongings are strewn around by those of slovenly habits. The remedy for these untidy minds, like that for untidy or untidy habits, lies in taking trouble at the start to establish a habit that will avoid trouble later. Memory plays a part, but not the whole part. Habits of thought, concentration, correct observation, go jo the making of a tidy mind.
