varsity days.
A small income. just sufficient for
his not very extravassnt wants. had
been his ruin.
There had been . time when he
had had great ambition. and when
people prophesied a future for him;
but he had drifted-there had never
been any real incentive to get on:
he was a singularly friendless sort
of man.
He had often thought In an ab-
stract sort OF way OF getting mar

but he had never met a woman W.,

looked at Philip with q cynical

Being Sure of Love


learn, II you criticized your friends

inclined to think he inspired enough
tenderness and loyalty to presase
love. But what you feel now isn't
worthy OF the name.
The sort OF love that wants to
take-be II kisses or gifts, sympa-
thy or understanding-is selfish.
Real love fnds even more love In
the gifts II can make than in those
II receives or exacts.
Love Is likely to begin with the

When to the primal attraction there

sharing OF ideals, there Is all the
material for a great love.
But except as there is reverence
and tenderness and sympathy and
loyalty. even the great pull Of flesh
and mind and spirit cannot build a
lasting house OF love.
To yield to the mere enticement
of lips that cling softly won't bring
anything moro than the sensual
pleasure given by food and drink
and warm baths when tired and
sleep when weary To thrill at the

A READER comes back at
~ me with some questions In
AA astronomy which I posed
the request: "wilI you please an
swer these questions? Many I am
sure will, with me. be grateful"
Here. then. are the questions, with
brief answers appended:
(1) What causes the moons
changes of phase? Answer. Tho
change In the moons position with
respect to the sun and the earth as
II goes round the earth. When II
is between the sun and the earth its
unilluminated side 10 toward us, but
as It gets out Of line with the sun
we see a little way around its sun
ward side. and the part that we thus
catch sight Of appears in the form
OF q crescent because Of the globu-
lar shape OF the moon.
When we see tho moon In a direc-
tion at right angles to that of tho
visible, and when II Is opposite to
the sun we SEQ the whole Of the
illuminated side. and the moon 10
"full."
2) At what time Of the year 10
the earth nearest the sun? Answer.
At tho beginning Of January.
8. To what are the seasons due7
Ans. To the obliquity Of the eciip-
tic; 4. g., the inclination OF tho plane
in which the earth revolves around
the sun to the plane in which IL
rotates on It's axis. As the earth
goes round tho sun II keeps its axis
almost unchanged in direction, 90
that at one time OF the year one OF
the earth's poles leans toward the
sun. and at tho opposite time Of tho
year the same pole leans away.
When the pole leans toward the
sun the latter appears high in the
sky and II 10 summer In that hemi-
sphere. but when the pole leans
away from the sun tho latter runs
low in the sky and It is winter.
90 What are the eauinoxes and
the solsticesf Ans. The equi-
noxss are the points in the sky or
the times in the year whore or
when tho sun crosses the plane OF
the equator as IL passes from one
hemisphere into the other. owing,
as explained above, to the obliquity
Of the ecliptic. The vernal or spring
equinox occurs about March 20. and
the autumnal equinox about Sep
tember 70. The solstices are the
points half way between the equi-
noxes where the sun arrives at Its
greatest declination either north or
south Of the equator. The summer
solstice In the northern hemisphere
occurs about June ~. and the win
ter solstice about December %.
