Indifference and coldness may at- tract a man who loves the conquest of alfficulties, but Wfter the conquest is made he ceases to find coldness and inditference attractive qualities. The peoplé who receive the greatest and most lasting love and admiration in lie are those who give most spontane- ougly of their own affections. Buddha and Christ loved all humanity with an overwhelming and self-forgetting love and devotion, However his immediate ewrcle mal- treated Christ, He has been receiving for almost 2000 years: the harvest of love which He planted while on earth. Buddha is worshived by millions of souls today, after almost 5,000 years.

Getting married has, in the words of Robert Louls Stevenson, ‘“an air of great simplicity and ease. It offers to bury for ever many aching preoccupa- tions; it is to afford us unfailing and familiar company through life; it opens up & smiling prospect of the blest and passive kind of love rather than the blessing and active'— And yet marriage does not offer solid ground under the feet of any who chance into the august state. Rather it means breakers ahead and shoal water and the beginning of life rather than the solv- ing of its problems. Falling in love and going through the courting state are romantic affairs that engage the human imagination most de- lightfully. And the next step is to keep | in love—and to keep your partner in| love with you. A very different busi- ness that from the peaceful vision of | sitting with folded hands within a safe Fur is to be used in lavish quantities on the new models. Its name and its origin matter little so lang as it is d orative and gives a suggestion of ele- gance and comfort. With the fur is used chiffon, satin and cloth. forming a conglomeration of fabrics, inconsistent, unserviceable, but highly modish. This is particularly true with regard to new gowns, whether for afternoon or evening wear, Velvet also comes in for attention, and it is wonderfully attractive in cross bar designs on a satin groupd and used with plain velvet. It sometimes happens that in a frock of velvet only the collar and the cuffs have the fur trimming, but again fur is used about the hem and even about the walst. A good example of the adaptation of fur is shown in a new frock of midnight blue Kkitten's-ear cloth, assoclated with Georgette crepe and taffeta of the same color. The taffeta forms a sort of pet- ticoat, over which Is hung the-* cloth, serving as a deep border, and panels to the upper section of crepe.

It begins there. Ahead of you! lies the struggle toward the Ideal of ! happiness—and It is a double ideal, yours | and your partner's. So first of all it is | an ideal that demands compromise and | forebearance and toleration and under- standing. And none of those things have occurred to most of the romantic young is then weighted with a band of dark- brown fur. Pockets are still with us, but they are treated somewhat differently than their predecessors. The model in question has a pocket shaped to give a pannier sug- gestion, although there 1s no draping, the effect being in the shaping of the pocket About the neck of the hodice is a band of fur, and on the shoulders are epau- lettes of the cloth done in gold and em- broldery to match the semi-girdle, The crepe.

The former ought to be (kept within the strictest limits, the latter Inever permitted to be born at all ! Fortunately the great majority of fam- lly defects are of the curable, or cor- | rectable, dren are given every advantage and op- I portunity in the way of food, sunshine, fresh afr and protection from infection and overwork.

First and most important among those diseases likoly to reappear in children comes consumption and other forms of {tuberculosts. Thia diseass Is not, strictly speaking, hereditary, In the sense that it 1s directly transmitted from parent to chlld; but it is practically very likely to reappear in the second generation, partly |because their childrens have inherited |the weak constitution which made their parents subject to it. Partly because the exceedingly close and intimate relations and personal contact between parents and children make the transmission of the | infection almost unavoidable, | In fact the only way that it can be !avoided is by plenty of houss room, the most sorupulous care and the best and richest of foods for the child from the very day of birth on, avolding the natura: firat supply. 1t 1w In the children of con- | sumptives, capeclally if crowded together and underfed, that we are most apt (o | tind not only pulmonary tuberoulosis and consumption of the bowels, but more than half of the pitiful diseases of the spine |and the joints, which used to make our |oripples and our hunchbacks, were born {and brought up in this type of familles Yet limit tne number of the children {of tuberculous but Intelligent, industrious and otherwise desirable parents to two or three, so that each one can have a separate room, plenty of air and sunlight !and the best of food and live a happy | childhood in the open air until 16 or 18, | and they may grow up strong, hearty and vigorous and the curse may disappear In la single geheration. And tuberculosis alone causes not merely one-tenth of all our deaths, but half of our cripples, & quarter of our sickness and a third of our poverty. Quite a number of other diseases come {in this same class of which tuberculosis is the type, not directly hereditary, but very likely to appear unless careful pre- cautions are taken, The number is larger |than we at one time thought, for the careful tracing of pedigrees and family diseases in the course of our recent study of heredity has shown that a number of the mo-called chronic diseases are quite apt to reappenr In successive generations. Some of these, like gout, rheumatism and Bright's diseasé, are probably special ways of reacting to various infections; others depend upon dlet, others upon | habits of lite, particularly the amount of | time spent in the open air, whether in | work or play.

How is It that a logarithm simplifies mathe- matical computations? Wil you kindly give an example to make the explanation more clear?'—J. P, B, Answer—A legarithm is an exponent, and an exponent is a number showing how many times another number has been uged In any multiplication. Ten times ten equals 100, Tt was used twice, and its exponent is 2. Ten cubed equals 1000, and its exponent is 3; while 10 to exponent 4 equals 10,000, and so on out toward Infinity. But suppose that we wish to use 10, say, 1'4 times or 1% times instead of twice. Then the exponent must be computed, and exponents thus computed are always printed in tables Thus, as 1T am now writing, the paper, as always, by day and by night, s very near a precious book, a table of logar- ithms for all numbers from 1 to 108,000, computed out to 7 decimal places. = To give examples of their use, suppose thut vou wish to multiply 8 by 11 Look in the table and you will find the logarithm of 8§ to be .%0%0000, and the logarithm of 11 to be 10419827, Add these and the sum will be 1044827, Look along the column and it will e seen that this Is the logarithm of 85 Kasy. But suppose yon wish to multi- ply two strings of figures of from 6 to o dozen. In the great standard mathema- tical sciences, such as astronomy, phyaios and chemistry, the multiplication and division of immense numbers are re- auired. Thus, let us square the numbor AEGEIG—that is, multiply itself by itselr, n tedious job. But this toll can be saved by the use of the logarithms. ~ Thus, the logarithm of 31568140 is 7.4901299, takem di- ,nrlly from the table. Then, to square any number, muitiply its logarithm by 2, and this logarithm, muitiplied by 2 equals 14998578, Now, by looking In the table, the number of which this is the logarithmy {s 9060160020088l Hours of works are performe in a few minutes.
