A place in truth, where age and
youth have mingled day and night.
Just standing there, its welcomes
rare, an ever tempting sight.
A man of gray will pass its way.
He's weary, hot and slack. Ambi-
tons gone; he fingers long, and then
it trickles back.
A tot of 4 will cry for more, so
sister holds him high He's held I'M
til he gets his fill And then-they
pass on by.
A business man will slyly scan the
people who imbibe. He's tempted
then; you know it when he joins the
thirsty tribe.
It's yours or mine; we fall in line
and sip and sip in deep content. Thus

year. In this they differ from the
other consultations which are only
to be seen during certain seasons of
the year, being below the horizon at
night during the other seasons
Before going ON to the summer

you know these well for they are

can find all five of them without
difficulty.
First, of course, you win spy the
| Great Bear, easily found by the
seven bright stars which form the
Great Dipper. The Great Bear, you
will remember, is the nymph Callisto
whom Juno turned into bear be-
cause she was jealous of the love OF
Jupiter for her.
And while you're viewing the
Great Bear don't forget to give a
glance to little Alcor. whose tiny
light shines bravely near the star
Mizar, the second star in the handle
of the Great Dipper.
Then trace line from Dubhe and

Dipper. to Polaris, the pole star.
Polarts. you viii remember, is at
the end Of the handle Of the Little
Dipper. or the tip of the tail of the
Little Bear. Starting with Polaris,
trace out the seven stars of the Lit
tie Dipper. The Little Bear, you viii
remember, is Areas, the son Of Cal
listo, whom Jupiter turned into a
bear when he was about to kill Cal
listo, not recognizing his mother
" hom Juno had turned into a bear.
Cepheus Identified
Now continue the line from the
pointer" to Polaris, until you reach
Cepheus- Five stars, none of them
very bright, identify CepheuA As
you know, they form five-sided fig
lre like a square with a triangle on
top Of it
Cepheus was the King of Ethiopia,
who accompanied Jason in his search
for the golden fleece, and who was
the husband of unhappy Cassiopeia-
By continuing the line from the
pointers" to Polaris still farther,
you reach Cassiopeia- Five stars

recall that she Is the queen whom
Father Neptune turned into a CON

boosted that she was more beautiful

Four Stars in Head
Last of all, look for Draco, the
great dragon curled between Great

with a little star very near the line
between the pointers" and Polaris.
His head Is identified by four stars
which form a little diamond.
