The same is true of pure color" says writer
in the Atlantic Monthly Water and sky are very

appreciative of them, but lie the deck of cat

"Or stay indoors for few weeks in a room where
you do not get much outlook and then go out.
You will be blinded by the glory of the world, but

pique us pleasantly with their unfamiliar line and

VANITY FAIR (call number 1348), by w. M.
Thackery, is one of the few great novels of the
world, and perhaps the only novel of society thai
ranks as classic perfect and complete embodi-
ment of those peculiar forces and conditions en-
braced in the term fashionable" As the subtitle
states, it is without hero;' but not, however,
without heroine. The central figure Of the book
Is that chef-d oeuvre, the immortal lnimitable mag
nncent Becky Sharp, the trancendent type of social
struggler, the cleverest, immoral woman in the
whole range OF fiction. From the hour when she
losses Johnson's Dictionary, the last gift of her
teacher, out OF the window of the Sedey coach, to
1er final appearance on the stage OF the novel; she
never talters In the bluff game she is playing with
society. Her victims are numerous, her success,
with slight exception, is unimpeachable In con-
slant contrast to her is pretty white anna
BILE Amelia all love and trust Becky's school init
mate and first protector. On Amelia and Amelia's
family, Becky first climbs towards the dizzy heights
of an assured position. Rawdaw Crawley is her fl
nal prey, the successful victim of her matrimonial
ventures. Having secured him, she is more at liber
ty to be herself to the strain of concealing her
real nature in her home at least To the world she
is still an actress, and the world does not find her
out until it has suffered by her,
The environment in which she is placed-fash
ionable England of the beginning of the century
offered great field for the genius of Thackeray. He
portrayed with marvellous, sustained skill through
the long, leisurely, any-chaptered novel. Not
fobe of fashionable life escaped him; not one weak
ness OF hannah nature, not fallacy of the gay
world. His satire plays like searching light upon
the canvas. His humanity does not miss the pahos
sometimes lurking under the hard, bright surface of
events. He does not forget that some women are
tender, that some are brave. Neither does he
pass eternal judgment upon his characters In his
dealings with these frequenters of Vanity Fair"

Trees as BarOmeterS

Persons VINO are close observers have frequent
ly seen the trees when the foliage presents much
different appearance from that ordinarily seen This
is more noticeable in poplar and silver leaf trees.
The odd appearance is dine to the fact that the
backs of the leaves turned up, showing the un-
der sides, which are a rne, lighter color than
the upper side Some of the leaves are such light
green as to appear almost white when the backs
show in the sunlight.
This behavior of the leaves is due to an unusually
low barometric condition of the atmosphere, which
causes the leaves to curl little and flip up in the
breeze to such extent as to show their backs or
under sides.
The low barometric condition produces local
Showers and it is always safe to predict rainfall
when the leaves seen to have their backs up
