Only lovers and very close and

unless they have very interesting
things to say and can say them in
an interesting manner.
Then they should write often and
say much; for a brilliant, well
written and witty letter is one Of
life's choicest gifts to receive.
And it is an Accomplishment
which should not be lost in this
age of hurry.

The feminine hat pin is today

Substitutes For Sight.

Have YOU ever, with a magnify
ing glass. looked at the rows of
eyes on the front body OF a spider?
They may make you shudder, Then
think of the eyes of animals, such
as snails and crawfish. which are
carried ON the ends of long flexible
stalks. Imagine a man with his
eyes arranged at the terminals of
long horns projecting from his head
and movable in all directions!
What would be more interesting
than to study the many different
ways in which nature has given
sight to her creatures. and to seek
to understand the objects she had
in view when she invented her ex-
traordinary devices?
1t has been thought that many
creatures possess some'sense which
is a substitute for seeing Some
times hearing is developed until it
seems to convey information 10 its
possessor. such as we could only
obtain by the agency of our eyes.
and sometimes the sense of touch
is no less sensitive. Consider the
ways of the mole, and Of other I'M
derground animals who either have
no eyes or whose eyes have become
useless and have almost disap-
peared. Yet they have a wonderful
knowledge Of the world in which
they live. But it is to be observed
that these creatures seem aware
only of what is very near them.
The sense of vision, as we possess
it. is essential to a knowledge of
the wider world around. and in that
knowledge resides the peculiar
glory of the human intellect

without meaning it, are many.
There are your correspondents
who write you letters demanding
immediate answers, and carefully
append the date to their letters,
and leave off the address.
You spend hours in trying to
think of the number and street:
you look in the telephone book, and
then realize that they live in an
apartment house; and you can not
recall the name of the apartment.
And so precious time and vital

Building Unsafe.

decision of State Factory Inspector w.
E Washburn, who investigated the
building Wednesday. AS result of his
findings, the senior hop, planned as one
Of the most elaborate social events of
the year. will not be held there Friday
evening. The fact that pillars have
been installed on the floor make patrons
of the Family Theatre located there,
safe unless crowd is permitted to con-
gregate on the second floor.
Mr.. Washburn stated Wednesday
that he inspected the building at the
suggestion of Eric Reineke, member
of the lodge He found, ne declares,
that one of the principal beams in the
roof construction became so decayed
that the roof has sagged from four to
six inches. A heavy fall of snow would
cause it to collapse, he says, because the
supporting pillars have been removed
from the second floor.
Notice was served upon the building
committee of the lodge that no further
gatherings must be permitted in the
hall, unless something is done TO brace
the ceiling and roof. 1t is expected
that this will be done.
