A Scientific Short Cut?

w in looking forward to the pub
lication by Putnam of THE Outline

Thomson. The interest of the aver

satisfy. There has not been a great
popularizer of scientific truth since
Huxley, and the sort of information
to be gathered from casual maga-
zine articles does not provide any
thing more than the sketchiest sur

In Illusion" (Putnam), which |
won the Lady Northcliffe Irize for
the best French novel of 1921, is the
sort of thing which only French
man does well. When we or the
English essay the tragic we lay
about US with a heavy hand The
Fates are hard hitting sisters when
we enlist them.
The Oldest tragedy in the world is
the tragedy of growing old. That is
the theme VI. Escholier ha5 taken.
He has written the story of little
gentlewoman of France who denied
age his entrance and tried to cir
cumvent him with the poor little pre-
lenses of rouge and powder, with in
effectual bursts of gayety. Age
beats her down, Of course, and Nj.
Escholier renders his stea Nv en-
eroachment with an art thas never
lacks delicacy and the iatisive
thrust.
There is a certain exhilaration TO
be had to-day from the reading of
book SO balanced in it's structure.
The formless novel, thrown loosely
together, is too much with US. Most
of the realistic fiction being produced
in this country makes no effort
toward form. 1t accepts the thread
of connection supplied by biographi-
cal sequence and let's it go at that.
1t is no contention of ours that
novel to be good must have SYM
metry. There are novels which are
more effective for the lack of IL, but
faction in the disciplined proportions

dose of it's method would not work
harm to our mid Western realists.

found ourself wondering how many
novels of 500 pages would not be
bettered by being cut in two. The
irrelevancy of detail that goes into
the making of a novel like Brass
is an imposition upon the reader.
We can imagine NJ Eschol'er'
story, in less skillful hands, weighted
SO heavily that it would leave one
with a distaste for life, so burdened
by the futility of Mime. Lestelle's re
sistance that it would miss the beau
tiful residence of her spirit. The
final realization that the game is

In planning the garden, it should be
borne In mind that certain crops, such
as lettuce. radlshes, and early beets,
can frequently be grown In the same
rows with other crops and be removed
before the main crop attains sufficient
size to require the entire space. It
should also be remembered that car
rots, beets. satisfy, early turnips, par
ships and all crops Of that type may
be grown in rows of IL to 18 inches
apart and will occupy comparatively
small amount of space If grouped to-
gether. The taller growing crops. such
as pole beans, tomatoes trained to
stakes, and sweet corn. should be
planted at one side of the garden
where they will not shade the smaller
crops.
1t is generally conceded that the
rows should run north and south; how
ever, 1t is more important to arrange
the rows for convenience Of CIVILIZATIONS

Brother had gone to school, and when
he got home he had promised to take
her c0asting and for ride on the
sled.
Before it was time for school to be
out-some, some TIME before, Minis
mother suggested that she might go
out in the yard and play in the snow
until it was time for her brother to
come home.
So Min went out and played in the
snow. But she began to get very lonely,
and after a little she thought she
would find her way to Brothers
school-she knew the way he always
started off-and she would be ready
for him the very second he came
out.
On and on she walked, and finally,
having walked miles, it seemed, she
found building. Perhaps it was the
school house. She went up and tried
the door-but alas no one opened the
door, and when she knocked she could
hear the echo answering.
She felt so tired now-her little legs
ached so, and she was so frightened
that she did not know what she would
do. She didn't want to cry.
And so she waited waited for the
strength to go on, while her eyes
burned with the tears that wanted to
come, to prove that she was baby,
while she held them back with the
courage that showed she was not a
baby. She thought she could stand
1t no longer, when in the far distance
came her brothers whistle.
ooh, Brother, Brother" she called.
''My brother" And in few mos
ments Brother came running to her.

And behind him were her mother and
father and several of their friends.
Her father and her mother were
telling the friends how they had looked
for Min when they had discovered
that she was lost.
But when her brother came home
from school he said:
IT see her footprints and will follow
them.

THE FOOTPRINTS

Z Minnie, or Min, as she was always
called, was only three years old. OF
course Sshe knew there were younger
people than she was, but still, some
how, every one regarded her as very
young. It used to hurt her feelings
quite often when people would speak
of her as the baby"
"Tm not baby" she would say.
She. had cried once when some one
had called her baby, but her brother
told her that people would think they
were right if she did anything like cry.
For someone knew how very fond ba-
bies were of crying
Her brother never called her baby.
He called her Min and Sister. And
yet he was much older.
No, her brother never called her a
baby, and yet he always looked after
her SO that she felt wonderfully safe
when with him. She remembered, very
dimly, the time when she had been on
a sled with little girl and when the
little girl had been steering carelessly
straight for tree. Her brother had
seen what was happening and in
"jiffy," as her mother said. he had
put himself in front of them and had
stopped the sled.
Every one had said it was very he
roic Everyone except the brother.
He hadn't said anything, but he had
put his. arm around her that evening
Before she went to bed and with some
thing very much like sob in his voice
he said: ooh, Min, you're my sister"
OF course that was the truth--so
much the truth that it hardly seemed
worth mentioning except that he had
said it in such strange way. She
remembered, too, that he had torn his
clothes--torn them to shreds when he
had saved her. For though it had all
happened so quickly, she knew that
much though she never quite
knew what is was that he had done.
She was thinking of this this morning
as she watched the snowflakes joining
all the other snowflakes on the ground.

There Is no best time of the year to

must decide for himself the date most
convenient. In deciding, however, the
most important consideration is to Sc
