EVENING CHIT
By RUTH CAMERON.

How much of the happiness in this
world is built on the very ugly foun-
dalton of other peoples envy!
That is a very disturbing and dis
heartening thought which comes to
me whenever I have occasion to real
ize how largely the value we place on
things is determined, not by their In
trinsic beauty or utility, but rather by
their rarity.
Luxuries would not be luxuries If
everyone could have them. "Automo-
biles are so common nowadays" says
one of the rich folks who was anon
the first to own a car, that there is
no fun in having one. Why, every
plumber and two-penny clerk has mas
machine. I think 1 shall sell mine"
on see, a large proportion of his
pleasure in owning car consisted IN
having something that other people
could not have.
Would the woman who declares she
loves her diamonds because of their
fire and sparkle continue to love them
if a gigantic diamond mine were dis
pensive and correspondingly common !?
Indeed she wouldn't. She would for
get all about that fire and sparkle
which she declared was so surprising
other gem which common people
could not afford. The fact that it had
less intrinsic beauty would probably
mean nothing to her.
"A plain girl longs With all noE nedTC
to be pretty, and thinks she would
be perfectly happy if she might be
good to look at. Suppose a fairy god
mother should appear to her and say,
Il will make you very pretty, and at
the same time, since you tell me beau
ty is such a desirable thing, I'll make
every other plain girl in the world
pretty, too" Do you think the plain
girl would be satisfied? Do you think
she'd be delighted at the good for
tune which had come to all her sis
tiers through her? Or would she be
disappointed at the fairy godmothers
catholicity of giving? III leave it to
your knowledge of human nature to
decide which.
doubt if there is any motive which
is behind more of our thoughts ana
words and acts than this desire 20
outshine other people, to have some
cannot have, in short to be the object
of other peoples envy.
1t stands behind a woman'S desire
to have a richer cake TT her party
than Mrs. So-and-So served at her
function. 1t spurs the great states
man in his struggle for fame-'that
last infirmity of noble minds"
But it's commences is no excuse.
To my mind it is one of the ugliest
and most ignoble passions in the
world.
To teach myself to value things for
their intrinsic beauty or utility, and
for the actual happiness can get out
of them and give with them, rather
than for their rarity or the envy can
excite with them-this is one of my
dearest ideals. Will you adopt 1T with
me? Or perhaps you are one of the
rare souls who have already attained

Curious Uses of Liquid Air.

AS a motive power for operating auto
mobiles and motorboats, liquid air is su-
perior to the electric storage battery,
since it requires no tedious waiting for
the process of recharging and it delivers
more than double the power of the for
mer, with half the weight. Gasolene is
not in the same class with liquid air,
for the latter emits no noxious doors nor
is there any danger of explosions. AS
refrigerant there is no source of cold like
liquid air. Other than operating automo-
bi1es and serving as refrigerant, there
is hardly a thing the human mind can
think of that liquid air cannot do, from
providing magical entertainment to the
production of continuous power. Yet there
is lacking a process by which it can be
produced cheaply enough to compete with
other sources of motive forces now in
use-Leshes Weekly.
