had their quarrel But both were
proud and both were young; and
so the little quarrel had become a.
big one, and finally he had left her
in anger, to find when he was
readysto ask forgiveness that she
had gone away. He had found no
trace of her since that day,
though he had sought far and
wide. Once she had had literary
aspirations, too; he had hoped to
hear of her in some of the maya
zine offices, but she had disap-
peared completely from the
knowledge of all who had known
her.
He watched the development of
the drama, the tragedy that set
forth, word by word, line by line,
an indelible picture that revived
each single memory and scared
him to the heart. 1t was his! 1t
was he who had written this and
offered it to manager the year
before, hoping that in the final
stage reconciliation Lillian would
read his own hopes and dreams;
that she would see it and remem-
Der their love and come back to
him. And the play, rejected
everywhere, had yet been held
long enough to enable some man
ager to make copy of it and
steal it and have it produced.
There was no mistaking that.
Skillfully as it had been changed
and rewritten, though every word
had been put through the crucible !

Immediately. She had changed

he sat down.
He would go to her after the

he had never wanted her before.
For her sake he would lay aside
the last vestige Of his pride, for
her sake he would confess his fol-

beg for the glory of her love.

No, there was the empty seat, and

A man was brought up on

that of wearing white at the wed
ling ceremony. at least during q part
# it. But the significance attached to
he choice of this color is quite differ
mt on the two sides of the world
rhe Japanese bride is dressed first in
pspiendrnt garments of white silk. the
,ieeves of the costume usually being
'bout three feet In length. while the

Rut white Is the mourning color in
Japan. and the bride leaving her par

After the exchange of cups of sake
with the bridegroom, which is the mos
important part of the wedding cere
mony, the bride changes her costume
to red one. This Is called iromaoshi
changing color,. Red is supposed to
have a purifying power and perhaps
clears the minis of the parties Of ali
of mourning.

Relation OF Fluid Friction to the SO

An interesting experiment exhibit:
the phenomenon of fluid friction. Take
two eggs. one raw. the other hard
boiled, and suspend them by wires
from an electric light fixture or other
support. their long axes being vertical
Then II they be gently turned around
once or twice It is found that while
the boiled egg continues to revolve tho
raw one comes Immediately to rest.
This difference is due to the fact
that the boiled egg is solid body, the
whole egg turning. while the raw egg
