TO the suggestion that ''ghoEts'' and other

on the fourth dimension hypothesis:
Imagine yourself TO live In a world OF
only two dimensions; then you would
have no knowledge Of any extension up
ward or downward. but only OF extension
in length and breadth. Your world, and
you. and everything known to your senses.

To begin with he is spoiled to death

On the contrary. the handsome woman
who marries a homely little man has a
monopoly Of the family beauty Her

and delights in dressing her up, and show

ing how such a splendid creature ever

Is most a salutary and comforting stare

that they hesitate to marry men who
are shorter than they are for fear their
friends will ridicule them.
Isn't that enough to make you laugh
or cry? Think OF anybody having little
enough sense TO Judge a man by his
inches, as II he were a bolt of ribbon,
and the more of him there was the bet
ter bargain you got for your money!
Think OF choosing a husband by his
height. as II he were a telephone polel
Let me tell you one thing, giris: II
isn't the distance mans head is above
the ground that counts It's whats in
that head. Giants are nearly always
fools. and some Of the greatest men the
world has ever produced have been little
men. II you were a tall girl you would
have felt perfectly foolish tangoing with
a sawed-off man like Napoleon. 'Bobs'

diers who could almost have put him IN
their pockets. Kfpling Is an undersized
man, and Barrie isn't much bigger than
boy jay Gould and Hartman were
both little men. but they juggied with
railroads as children play with toys.
You could go on ell day mentioning
the little men who do big things, for
after all nature isn't as unjust as we
think. She is pretty apt to even up
things. and when she makes man who
is short on stature she is more than
likely to make him long on brains. And
conversely this is also true. and when
she constructs a man on grand archi-
tectural lines. oftener than not she
skimps on the inside furnishings OF his
skull.

are handsome and tall and brilliant. Just
