There are fat men and fat men,
dearie, but they all have a hard row
to hoe, poor fellows, and If pity is
akin to love, they ought to be loved to

"Then Why" began Aunt Jane.
Naturally they don't often inspire
a romantic passion. It's very seldom,
for instance, that you find fat man
the hero of a novel. He can't climb
ladder to the heroine's easement, and
a steel cable arrangement would be
too cumbersome to carry around. He
might manage to get up a fire escape,

capes aren't romantic, and then, he

rapiers, and II it's pistols, his oppon'
ent couldn't possibly miss him. He
couldn't swing the lady lightly to the
saddle before him and dash away at
a speed that baffled all pursuit, be-
cause his horse would have all 1t

Aunt Jane. But do you really
think"
'I think Mr.. Dupois Is one Of the
good-natured kind" declared Mrs.
Merriwid. Il think he's a dear, sweet
tempered, easy-going creature, and his
waist measurement doesn't give me
the least concern. If his ribs are
pretty we'll padded, there's a kind
heart beating underneath them"
ct had no idea" Aunt Jane tried
to edge in.
Don't interrupt me, please" begged
Mrs. Merriwid. "A fat man doesn't
cost any more to board than a thin
one; not as much. l boarded for four
years before l was married, and no
ticed it was always the cadaverous,
emaciated dyspeptic that got the full
worth of his money. Any landlady
will tell you the same thing. And you

fat men-that they slept well nights.
You take a man that sleeps well and
whose food agrees with him, and ne

Why Children Need Play.

1t is as natural for a child to play
as to breathe. 1t is necessity, not a
luxury. It is part Of his education,
and an expression of his self-devel-
opment and of the law of his being.
Left to his own amusement, with
proper conditions, his whole attitude
of mind and body is one of absorbing
interest and concentration, and he
often displays initiative and activity
really surprising. he play instinct
is so universal it might be regarded
as self-satisfying. But conditions OF
life are so congested that space is
prohibited and children are simply
starved for play. The play expert
ence of my childhood was delight,
but we had the canal and the oilmill.

woodshed and the carpenter shop in
the neighbor's back yard. The car

are not in the experience Of the aver
age child today.-Suburban Life.

MELISSA REALIZES WHAT MIGHT
BE.

MY dear Melissa, l had no idea

Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden aunt
Jane in tones of remorse.
Mrs. Merriwid dabbed her eyes with
little wad of a pocket handkerchief
and then fixed them reproachfully on
her relative.

Merriwid, absorbed in her theme. ITO
see Mr.. Dupois' plump cheeks crease
and push up until they nearly close
his eyes is an absolute joy; and his
wink! Nobody can wink like a fat
man. There is something so deliber-
ately humorous about it, so ponder
ously sly, 80 confidential and intimate.
l could sit and watch Mr.. Dupois wink
all day"
Really, Melissa, this is something
of surprise to me-" said Aunt Jane.
What is?" asked Mrs. Merriwid.
Your choice" replied Aunt Jane.
"Why, bless your sweet heart,
dearie, 1 haven't made any choice,
said Mrs. Merriwid. "Mr. Dupois is
perfectly lovely, but I haven't the
slightest intention of marrying him.
l was just objecting to your sighting
illusions to stout people. Anybody is
likely to put on little flesh, dearie. y
Mrs. Merriwid looked rather anx.

pinched her own well-rounded chin.
Anybody might" she repeated.
