A MYSTERY OF ARCHITECTURE

 Baffled in this way, and headed off at every turn, the spectator feels like some traveller in mid-desert. who, rid ing down to blue sheet of water un- der an overhanging rock, finds to his astonishment the water recoil from him and his lake dissolve in air. Nothing in this strange art is what it seems to be The most obvious facts turn out not to be facts at all. And the closer we carry our examination the more the mystery deepens. It infects the whole temple. IL touches and alters cornice and frieze, architrave and aba GUS, capital and column. It reaches to the foundations and even to the flights of steps which form the approach to the building. There Is not single fea- ture. nay. there is not single stone, in the structure which is unconscious of this mystery or which is in itself the mechanically regular and rectil- linear object it seems to bel.

There could. apparently. be no more obvioiis and simple plan of construction than that of a Doric temple. A hori- zontal weight resting on vertical sup ports is the most primitive of architec- tural ideas, and the temple is really nothing else The traveller in Greece or Sicily. coming upon these gaunt col onnades. is inclined to wonder at the pleasing effects obtained by such sim plicty. but does not question the sim plicity itself. Yet this simplicity is but d mask. Beneath if turks subtlety to which there is nothing comparable in the art of many other people. Penrose's measurements revealed the fact that the temple in all its parts and propor- tions was under the influence of cer- tain infections, which infuse a kind of mystey into the most matter fact appearances. and which meet all att tempts al summary description with a gentle contradiction. Nothing seems more evident, for instance. than that the peristyle, as the parallelogram of columns forming the temples outer

DRAWBACK TO FATHERS FELICITY

Christmas is still some distance off" said Mir Fatherly. but I am all ready confronted with a little diff culty which at this season annually arises to perpleX me. this being some thing that we might briefly designate as a failure to keep within the appro- priation. meaning in this case the Christmas appropriation.
 We are pretty intelligent people. We are, we think; and every year as the festive-if you look at it that way season approaches we prepare for it well in advance so as not to get all mixed up and in a terrible hurry when Christmas is actually at hand. Weeks before. months before. l guess, the girls, meaning thereby our daughters begin to decide on the presents they are going to give and how much they are going to pay for them, and when they have got this list approximately completed they come to me for an ap propriatiOn.
 The appropriation bill thus brought in to me, with schedules attached if l wish to see them. l never send the committee-consisting of Mrs. Fatherly and myself-for examination, nor do ever argue over it with the girls; for experience has taught me that to seek in any way to hold the bill up would do no good The girls would proceed to show me conclusively that so far from this bill being extravagant or a pork barrel or anything of that sort it was really most economical, actual

It is composed of so many vertical shafts, of equal size and height, standing equidistant from each other on flat platform and supporting vertical-faced entabla- ture of horizontal extension. Scientific analysis. however, gently negatives ev- cry one of these statements. These columns. it answers us, do not stand vertically, but imperceptibly lean in ward. They are not quite of equal height. nor of exactly the same dimen- mensions. for the angle shafts and their next door neighbors are slightly thick CT than the rest. They do not stand equidistant. for in each coionnade the gaps are little reduced as the corner is approached. They do not rise out of a flat platform; the platform is in very slight degree curved. or cushion. shaped Neither Is the entablature either upright or of horizontal exten- ton. It leans inward a trifle, like the columns: and is therefore not verti- cal: and it is slightly curved, like the

 But what can we do about it? Nothing The girls don't understand about money. and a dollar or two more on a single thing doesn't strike them as much. They don't know they haven't come to realize yet how dollars count up. and we can't throw 'em down They are the loveliest girls that ever lived and the most dutiful, and We want them 10 have what they want and we never deny them any thing if we can provide it: and so. in this Christmas season when they are buying things. wheE they come along and say This would be so much nicer and it costs only dollar sixty-three more why. we smile and say All right. children. let us get it.
 By the end of the Christmas sea- son We find that we have exceeded our first appropriation by as much again. We have spent twice as much that to provide this money sometimes pinches us?
 Yes, s.r, actually pInches us: but l don't know what we can do but to let it pinch and smile over it. For that matter I like old Santa Claus myself; I think he's a fine old man. and l like to have him come around. My pleas ure at hi~ coming would be quite un- alloyed ii it were not for the annual Christmas appropriation that his com ing entails"

But what for did he want to go and say that he seen it scratchin' it's back on a limb q foot and a half higher than its back could reach. and that he shot 1t ag'in" said Leman.

You see by disbursing it in installments in this way instead of in a lump sun at the start l continue to get the use of some of the money for little while.
 And then the girls begin buying. and in about two days soemthing like this happens:
 There is a certain article that they have fully decided upon that they are going to give to somebody and that is to cost s2S5. They have seen the thing they are going to buy and know all about it; and that's settled. But when they come to do the actual buy ing they see another article of that sort costing S490 that IS so much bet ter than the thing they saw first that really they think they ought to get 1t. and when they come to consider that it costs only s2.55 more, why. there's mo question. about il; and so they buy the S490 article.
 That's just sample. for from then on things like that happen right along The original appropriation was large for us. but we could have 'rastled that. The trouble is that they
