. SAYINGS OF
MRS. SOLOMON
Man-And His Time
BY Helen Rowland.

Man-And His. Time
MY Daughter. there be three
IN1 things which are astonish-
ing unto me.
The way of fool with canoe,
the way OF q woman with an
automobile, and the way OF man
with his TIME!
For, behold, Time is a woman's
master which drfveth her to mad
ness; but Time il mans
SLAVE, which he bendeth to his
caprices.
Go to. At the beginning Of the
evening, a man saith, Let US
depart soon; for / must arise
early in the morning" But, at
midnight, after the sixth drink,
he crieth, 1.-THE night Is still
young! and wherefore shall we
hurry?"
Lo, at the end Of busy day
a man Is always too rushed 10
stop at the bakery for a pound OK
macaroons. Yet, when he Is
merry friend, what man cannot
find time to harken to the good
story and to exchange the days
jokes?
When his wife droppeth In at
the office, a man never ftndetn
time to take her to luncheon; but
protesteth that he must snatch
a sandwich at the cafeteria ana
hasten back to his labors.
Yet, when the old college chum
breezeth in, he leadeth him JOY
fully to the chop:house, and
dawdleth for three, hours over
venison and mushrooms, and Is
NOT concerned for his duties.
Behold, in all the week, a mans
work is never finished in time for
his wife's bridge party. Yet, no
matter how desperate his tasks,
they are always done In time for
the ball game or the Saturday
afternoon golf.
Lo, an husband cannot find
time, upon a holiday, to sprinkle
the nasturtiums or to mend the
broken lawnmower; yet, he is
never too pressed to try out the
new golf-stick or to manipulate
the cocktail shaker.
He demandeth always to know
the exact moment when dinner
will be served; he rusheth the
cook to the point OF nervous
Idementia.

table and the family awaiteth his

HOW TO Pen
LETTERS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman


FEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Will you please tell US
which Is the right sequence Of
pages in writing a letter? A
says that when you write a let.
ter you write the second page
directly across from the first
sheet. B says that you write q
letter just like book. The first
sheet on one side and then turn
the page over and write on the
back OF, sheet one. am writing
you this letter the way A thinks
it should be. Is he correct?
] f. S., JR.
I am sorry that I cannot def
nitely settle the bet, for there is
no hard and fast rule for the
sequence Of pages in letter.
There are, however, two sugges.
tons that may be made. One Is.
that it is reasonable to write the
pages of letter, as B suggests,
as one reads the pages of book.
This order. however, is not often
used.
The most often used sequence
of pages is first page one, then
the last page, and then, turning
the middle sheets around, use
these middle pages as one page
and write down them. This order
seems to me most sensible to
adopt, since most people use it,
and therefore most people would
automatically turn the letter that
way, reading page one, last page
and then the middle pages as one.
Any other order gives more or
less the impression Of being "bi-
zarre," even IL there is. no def
mite rule for the order.
The order that you used In
your note to me is correct, but
this Is usually used only for a
short note, when the second and
fourth pages are not written on

you do have to work harder in

But the psychological explana-
ton must, itself, be based on
physics. for 1t is a matter OF
leverage and balance, and Of the
calling into play of generally I'M

man working about grist-mill
and used to handling limp bur-
dens might find q log more
troublesome to carry than an u1'

The World Changes

One of the most spectacular effects Of science on
civilization is modern industry and all it has done
for and to In period of less than 200 years
the western world has been changed more than in
the many thousands of years preceding. In the last
century the change far greater than in the pre-
ceding century. In the last half century the pace
was muchs1Aeter than in the so previous years The
pace is ever and more rapid. Where will the
next half century take us?
The for the increase in the speed of our
progress is quite simple. Science is cumulative
1t grows. The inventions that grow out Of science
multiply with tremendous speed. 1t is only
able to suppose that if civilization survives, it will
change with increasing rapdity.
And every major change will alter our living con
ditions and change us personally. Therefore it be-
hOoves to learn to be more and more adaptable tt

The other thirty-nine Winks now
came out of the same tall tree that
the first Wink had come from and
stood staring in silent row. They
were of different colors, all the
Winks were. Some were blue, some
were brown, some black, some gray,
some hazel, and some even green.
"We're the policemen of Drowsy

exactly what he is here for, If he's

wheat-cakes to buns, and what the

The Twins couldn't help laughing,
which had peculiar effect. The hats
of the forty Winks slid down and
then instantly slid up again. No

"Wheat-cakes!" shouted the Twins
with one voice.
Weather.! That's important. Do
the earth folk like IT."
"Well." said Nick. II guess it's all
right when it doesn't rain"
At this all the hats on the Forty
Winks flew up and down like trip
hammers, and the Twins looked SO
amazed that the first Wink said,
That's the way Winks clap their
