Too bad, but he can’t seem to stand prosperity!” How often is such an estimate made when, in reality, the one who pro- nounces judgment may have, uncon- sclously, a viewpoint serlously colored by personal feeling! One fact stands out, however, even when the pewly prosperous John Brown merits judg- ment, that judgment is well nigh in. variably based on moral rather than on physical grounds! Suppose wo let John Brown manage his own character problems! We all have need of consideration from our friends and of charitable Interpreta- tion of our actlons. But there is an- other aspect of newly acquired or even habitual prosperity with which we may deal, in all charity and, in fact, with positive help to the individual involved, and that is the possible effect of prospeprity on nutrition. Otner things being equal, it is a fair- ly safe assumption that, except in the case of an inherited fortune, pros- perity comes during middle life, just at the time when even a normal sys. tem requires a bit of overhauling, es- peclally in regard to diet.

In fact, “the 50s are in one sense the golden age of humor and reason,” us some one has expressed it, and it is a pity to let unwise diet habits interfere with the accomplishments and pleasures of these mellow years. These suggestions are obviously for the individual who has not been reck- less in his eating. Those who have erred in this particular usually reach middle life with a far more compli- cated problem.

Under the stress of emotion, Mabel had forgot- ten to be cautious, and had said a great deal more than she should. “Do you suppose I'd be the way I am if it weren't for Joe?” she had sobbed. “I love Joe, but he's always talking to me about getting into a rut and letting marriage interfere with good times. That's why I flirt with other men, because Joe seems to want to flirt with other women. Oh, it's all ghastly and horrible, and I wish I were dead!” “ Natalie had soothed Mabel as well as she could, and after a time the: had rejofned the others. But tne inc dent had made a tremendous impres- slon on her. It seemed somehow symbolic of the attitude toward life of every one in their set, and this morning Natalle was possessed with the desire to get away from every one, to seek and know real people, to stop Shifting North Pole. One of the strangest records of climatic change is that which geolo- gists find evidence of in the fossils of Greenland. Palm fossils have been found In rocks new eternally covered by snow. Thie can mean only one thing, and that is that the climate of Greenland was once very warm. How to explain a warm climate for a re- glon so near the North Pole seems a little difficult. That a denser blanket of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would so have held the sun's heat close to the ground that all the earth had a warmer climate {s one expla- natfon of this phenomenon. Another, derived from astronomical ohserva- tions on the shifting of the earth’'s axie, would tend to show that the North Pole was once on some other part of the earth when the earth, as it were, stood on its ear. This fs not proven, but certain it is that the present Pole star will, in a few bil Hon years, cease to be the Pole star, and Vega will take its place. Now what do you know about that? that she really wanted to do. Her thoughts turned finally to Lucien, but thinking of him no longer brought the resentment that it had last evening. Quite suddenly she“saw her friendship with Luclen for what it really was, and although she squirmed as she turned the spotlight of truth upon herself, she was honest enough to face it. course she could not know how much Luclen cared for her, but she did know her own feelibgs on the subject he was not In the least in love with him. Tle attracted her, but that was all. “And vet she had led hiin on to believe that she cared, and largely because it had been thrilling to have a marricd man, and one so much older than she was, with her. “I'm glad, glad, glad that he didn’t meet me last night,” she said to her- flercely. “Oh, what an awful little fool I have been.
