or what we might call a comet
''of our size
The astronomer observing these
telescope comets has the advan-
tage over the disappointed hero
OF O'Brien's story in chat he can
preserve the forms of the objects
Of his (astronomic) alteration by
photographing them tefore they
fade away. Some OF the photo
graphs made by Van Biesbrocck
exhibit only faint round sp1ck
with a little halo about ia
minnow in the ocean OF space,
but as good a comet as any Of the
whole dimension.
It is interesting to look at the
miniature tails of some OF these
photographed comets. They ;nai-
tate the forms exhibited by the
great naked-eye i. monsters which
now and then in the course Of
the centuries excite the wonder
and terror Of gazing mankind, as
they sweep with blazing trains
across the quiet consultations
that have hardly altered their IA
miliar outlines since the most
ancient dates of human history.
In November Comet Van Bies-
brock had an oval head and a
stubby brush of a tail, and gave
promise Of Frightening to naked
eye visibility and possibly to
become q spectacular object but
it had already passed it's perihelion
undetected and soon began to
fade.
Seen on Small Scale
Comet Wilk-Peltier in December
almost reached the naked eye
limit, and showed on a small
scale, as recorded by photography,
some Of the peculiaritias of tail
formation that have characterized
large comets. Whatever the force
may be that creates comets tails,
evidently it produces relatively as
much agitation in these telescope
elfins as in the giants Of their
kind, and the tail patterns do not
vary much between the extremes
of magnitude.
The little comet that became
celebrated by disappearing early
this spring, Ensors) has a place
in Van Biesbroecks list. Dis
covered in South Africa near the
end of 1925 it was confidently
expected that it would come up
into the northern hemisphere as
a conspicuous sight. The Ques-
ton was asked at the Yerkes OBJ
servatory in February: SIS this
going to be a bright naked.eye
object such as we have not seen
for many years?" But it failed to
appear at all.
For comets are very untrust-
worthy in their promises" 1t

within the last hundred years that

why Is q Man ''Patl1etic?"
WHAT Is there SO pathetic
w about a man, that q woman
can't even watch him packing his
grip, without feeling a queer lit
tie pang of pity, and running to
help him?
Why do I always get that little
ache in the throat. when go to
a bachelors party, and observe
his futile efforts to make the
place look bright and homey?"
You can watch a woman strug.
gle with man-sized job, All

let a man start out to sew on q

is torn for him.
Even the picture of a man play

smile to a woman's eyes, and
makes her want to vote for him
for governor. And she can get
positively mushy over q talcum-

A spinster can live alone, from
New Year Day to December 81,
and nobody says, How sad! but
let a man set himself up in q

and every woman shakes her head,
and wants to mother" him.
A business girl can get up and
cook her own eggs and bacon
every morning, and other women
will only envy her that blessed
independence" But when a MAN
tells you that he gets up before
the family is awake and makes
his own coffee, every womans
heart bleeds for him!
Even the hotel chambermaid will
let a woman hang up her own
clothes-but she will cer:ally put
away a mans laundry and lay
out his house-coat and slippers,
with a. yearning sort of tender
ness.
A woman just can't bear TO gee

Her mothers SOUL broods over

MARRIED IN
SECRET
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman.

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ I have married secretly, not
letting my friends know anything
about it. I have invited them
for party. telling them that I
am getting married on the eve
ming OF the party, and still they
don't know / am married,
What should I name my party
and how should arrange 1t?
Please give me all Information
about 1t. G.
TIME information that I would
i give you for this party that
you plan is advice that you
should not give it. Such a party
would be in exceedingly bad taste
and bad form. You have done an
unconventional thing in getting
married secretly. This is your
affair, know, and only you and
your husband need be concerned.
However, when you bring it
into the realm of etiquette, then,
of course, it becomes the affair
of your friends and OF the world
in general. And, therefore, it
would show better taste II you
make the announcement OF your
marriage in as inconspicuous a
way as possible.
1t seems to me that you are
making 1t in the most conspicuous
and bizarre way possible. I see
no point in inviting your friends
to the party under false pre-
lenses. You are certainly laying
yourself open to criticism, and
should think that you would de-
serve it.
Please don't misunderstood me:
If you and your husband decide
that you wish to marry without
the bother Of a large wedding,
that is for you to decide. But
then do make your announcement
with the dignity that the sacred
ceremony deserves.
Tell your friends, those whom
you see, and write to the others,
dignified notes of announcement.
They will, / am sure, appreciate
this dignity and good taste. Then,
later, If you wish to give q party,
give one for the sake OF the party
itself, not for any practical joke
reason.

'What

shall we drink!
'sAnd he cried unto the Lord;
and the Lord showed him tree.
which when he cast into the
waters, the waters were made
sweet-and there he proved
them. Exodus xv:22-26.
That is the story Of Moses.
And the story Of you and me.
Sooner or later each life goes
into the wilderness.
It may be a wilderness OF fear
and encouragement, Of hunger
and pain, of broken hope and lost
love. OF poverty or hate or the
bleached acres Of spiritual despair.
Or it may be the wilderness of
satiety-the wilderness OF those
who have so much they lose the
taste for everything. Which is.
perhaps, the most desolate wilder
ness Of all.
But whatever the wilderness, it
waits for each one Of us.
And when the time is ripe, we
come to the sands of loneliness
and the darkness of doubt.
The way is hard. Our bodies
talk and work and eat with other
men. We do our tasks in our &C
customed way. But our real
selves are in the wilderness. No
sound can reach US there-no
hand can touch us. We are like
blind, dumb spirits drifting on the
winds. We see no aim or, mean
ing to it all-no reason why.
There is no end, no exit, from this
place Of dead desire.
So at last we come to that
small, arid pool which we have
fed by our own sweat and tears.
The pool OF Marah, that last.
bitter cup which those who cross
the wilderness must drink.
