But he got to running wild, too,

now"
"I've cried my eyes out. Judge,
and there hasn't been a night in
the eighteen years that haven't
prayed until my knees was aching.
But somehow l couldn't manage
either Of them"
Mary's tears are genuine. Her
faded eyes show the agony
through which she has passed.
Her dropping mouth is twisted
with bitterness at the way life
has repaid her love. She feels
that she has been dreadfully
used-and that all her love and
prayers. were in vain.
And, in q way, they were.
For Mary didn't back them up
with character.
Mary is what the world calls a
good woman and good wife"
She didn't CAD around outside
her home.
She didn't fret over other men.
She didn't waste her husbands
money on clothes or frivolity.
She had seven children and she
was always talking about them
and worrying over them.
She went to church regularly
and tried to make her husband
and children do the same.
And because of all this, her
neiRhbors call Mary good
mother and a good wife" And
so did the Judge when he handed
out a stiff sentence to the way
ward James.
But Mary isn't a good mother
and a good wife.

But Mary never tried to keep
step with the world in which her
children were living.
She never tried to make an
attractive home to offset the
dubious attractiveness Of the
streets.
She never tried to change the
clumsy. antiquated ideas about
home making and child rearing
which she had inherited from ner
mother.
She never tried to use her
brains in any way to solve her
problem.
She kissed and cried and prayed.
But she didn't think.
So it came to pass very early
in the game that both her chill

q contempt for Mary and would

Mary's husband and children
felt very much to her as they

nevertheless. a great nuisance At
times.
Naturally she couldn't control

"Since Neptune and Uranus
were discovered as the result Of
computations can they be seen
without the aid Of the tele-
scope? I've never heard much
about these rather vague fore
runners on the distant outposts
Of the solar system.-Reader,
Boonton."
NEPTUNE was discovered by
IN means Of mathematical COM
putations based upon the visible
effects, Of its attraction upon the
planet Uranus, but Uranus was
not found in that way. On the
contrary, its discovery with the
telescope was one of the greatest
triumphs Of Sir William Herschel,
and the planet at first bore his
name.
A few years after its discovery
1t was noticed that Uranus was
being interfered with in its slow
orbital motion by some unknown
attraction. It was concluded that
this must be due to the existence
of an unseen planet travelling
around the sun outside the orbit
or Uranus. French and English
mathematician Leverrier and J.
c. Adams) attacked the problem
of locating the disturber, and
both solved It Independently, but
Leverrier got the news first to
the observing astronomers. and
following his directions one OF
them deserted the mysterious
planet in September, 1S46.
Neptune has never been seen
with the naked eye. but Uranus
when favorably situated can
easily be seen without a tele-
scope. At the beginning Of Jam
uary, 1926, Uranus will be in the
western part. and near the south
ern edge of the constellation
Pisces. There are some small
stars nearby, and it will be very
interesting for amateurs who have
small telescopes to watch the
planet night after night for a
while. The observations must,
however, be made early in the
evening, for the planet sets
about o'clock.
Neptune Is far away In the
opposite quarter of the heavens,
rising about the time that Uranus
sets. 1t is in the constellation

shows but a very small, faint
disk to an ordinary telescope, ana
its motion is slower than that or
Uranus, owing to its much great
err distance. Uranus IL about
1.7s0 million miles from the sun
and Neptune about 2,79O million.
No details can be seen on the
surface of either, and not very
much il positively known about
their physical condition. except
that they are like all the large
outer planets of relatively small
density. It is not doubted that
they rotate rapidly on their axis,
but visual proof of such rotation
IL lacking. Both are accompanied
by satellites, Neptune having
one and Uranus four. From the
situation Of the planes of revolu-
ton of these satellites 1t Is in
ferred that the axis Of Uranus
lies nearly parallel to the plane
Of its orbit around the sun, so
that it rotates nearly ut right
angles to the plane Of rotation OF
the earth.
Singular az this is. Neptune
beats 1t, for his axis is tipped
over In such a way that he
actually rotates backward, with
reference to the common direc-
ton of rotation of all the other
planets-except Uranus. Never
theless both Uranus and Neptune
obey the great common law OF
the solar system which prescribes
the direction which we call from
west to east as the standard from
which there 1s no departure, ex-
cept by comets and meteor
swarms.
No theory of the origin Of the
solar system can stand unless 1t
accounts for this great funda-
mental law or tendency. In it.

Of the community of origin of
all the planets, and of the an
tecedence (perhaps some would
say, the fatherhoo6 of the sun.
These two great planets-(Nep-
tune has diameter of about
$4,000 miles and Uranus of about
81, 000)-are so far off in the cold
depths of space that It seems
scarcely possible to regard them
as having any share in the gift
OF life that the earth, and prob
ably one Of two other of the
nearer planets, possess. and yet
so many surprises have come in
the course Of astronomical dis
covery that It would not be wise
to dogmatize even on This point.

Wearing a Tuxedo In the

bride does not wear a veil, but a

what the proper attire would be.

No, 1t is not correct for gentle
man to wear a Tuxedo suit before
6 or $50 o'clock in the evening.
