A few days ago I turned a cor
ner and almost bumped into a
young woman whose rotundity
suggested the idea of about two
hundred pounds. Just behind
her was another, then another
and still another. Nine Of these
examples OF latitude rather than
longitude were passed in a single
short block, while but few of the
slender type were encountered.
I went 20 another city and re.
peated the observation with the
same result.
A survey Of the passengers in
three chair cars of resort train
showed a marked preponderance
of embonpoint.
I am writing this on the deck
Of a steamer where there are
fifteen women in plain view, nine
Of whom are just plain fat.
May it not be that what is true
of the streets. cities, parlor cars
and steamer decks that I have
noted is equally true of all other
streets. cities, parlor cars and
steamer decks?
And If so, why?
Let US try for an answer under
the law of cause and effect.

Cant we take him home with
us? He's such a cute baby?"

lost. Lift him up and see If he is

mot at ALL" said Bunny, lift
ing the little fellow up carefully,
At that very moment we heard
the most awful bark. We turned
quickly and there, with her great
head lifted out of the water, was
the mother alligator glaring at us
and barking and scolding fiercely.
You can guess that 1 didn't
have to tell Bobby to drop the
baby, for such a bowling you never
heard as the mother alligator
started out of the water.
We hurried away, but stopped
for a moment to see what hap
pened. And you'll never guess
what did happen.
The big alligator came lumber
ing out of the water and behind
her were five little babies. She
walked up to her hayward son
who had almost been kidnapped by
Bobby. Then she opened her great
jaws and as quick as a wink right
into her big mouth scampered her
six children.
With a satisfied grunt and a
quick look in our direction, off
waddled the alligator into the
jungle with her family safe and
sound.
''He would have made a nice
pet" said Bobby, But I'm sure
he's happier with his mother"

Suddenly, amazingly, Pat broke
down. A storm Of weeping shook
her. Larry, concerned, surprised,
deeply disturbed, stared down at
her. He did not Ike the way this
boy was always breaking into
tears; 1t was unmanly. He
frowned.
Come. Patr' he said, as stern
" as he could, What aiIs you,

Pat. THAT song-it always

Larry shrugged his shoulders.
He did not understand this COY.
But he knew now what he had
tried to hide from himself for
some time past; that the Lad had
crept, somehow, into his heart.

; behind them are little new leaves
trying to make their way out
through winter baroness to spring

The sense of boredom, the long

not be able to crafty or cure by
a trip to the seashore or country

wide sky spaces, and see how

Nature carries on with courage

Across the river stretched the

/<WYES SIREE," said / as I
stood over a nest look
ing at a group of eggs,
THAT is an alligator's nest"
WELL" said Bobby, II should
think that since an alligator lives
in the water she would lay her
eggs in the water. And what is
more, I should think that if she
does lay them on the sand that
she would sit on them"
mo" 1 laughed, "She doesn't
do either. But" 1 continued,
wed better move away, for
understand that after an alliga-
tor lays her eggs she never goes
away, but watches them carefully
day and night"
So we hurried off and went
back to the hotel where we were
spending the winter in Florida.
Some weeks after that Bobby
said:
Foxy Grandpa, let's walk down
by the river and take a picture
of the nest of alligator eggs. ALI
gators are such strange animals
should like to have a picture of
one of their nests"
That's good idea, Bobby"
said 1. Wen go this afternoon"
So after lunch we started for
the river and followed the walk
where we had seen the eggs. We
reached the place, but not an egg
could be seen. There was the old
nest, but it was empty.
They're Matched out, l guess"
That's just what's happened"
I agreed. We'd be in luck if we
could see a baby, wouldn't WEI"

Bobby, "If we only could"

AND SUCCESS
ARE AMERICAN WOMEN GETTING TOO FAT!

growth in otherwise normal peo-
pie is relative to the amount and
character of nutritive material.
food, that they consume.
The particular foods that make
fat are the starches and sugars.
And, as the starches only make
fat after being converted into
sugars, we may limit our observa-
tons to the sugars.
The American women, over and
above the women Of any other
nation in the world, are pastry
caters, candy eaters, sugar eaters.
In the last fifty years the con-
sumption of sugar in America has
jumped from twenty pounds 10
over ninety pounds per person.
This fact pretty nearly answers
our question.
But this law of cause and effect
has another application in this
case, and that Is that the accumu-
lation of weight is inversely to the
expenditure.
This simply means that If you
don't work you'll get fat.
How much actual work is being
done by mere pleasure-loving fat
women?
What about walking in these
automobile days?
Look around you, count the fat
ties, inquire into their physical
habits, draw your own conclu.

Neva and hurried through
our lunch and went over to the
park. We found sunny knoll
and flung ourselves down on the
grass, and there we stayed for a
peaceful half hour. Both OF us
had brought problems to the park
with US.
Both OF us were tired, had a

Neither of us did much thinking.
We basked in the beauty OF the
day, the warmth of the sun, and
the exquisite pictures the trees
made against the sky.
There was one bit like a JAP
anese etching. Two trees twisted
against the blue background,
showing e. few green leaves
against the black knobs of naked
twigs. Further off there were
lacy green trees, like fine water
colors. Everywhere was beauty
and the large serenity of nature
going on in her orderly march
from season to season.
We came out of the park with
a quiet assurance that we, too,
could go on in our orderly march
from task to task. We knew
that the basic beauty OF the

to find again, and that our duty
for the day was to bring out
beauty in the pattern of our own
