 He seemed to speak to each reader alone. What he had say appeared always too fragile too intimate slender to withstand the gross literary conveyor system of published book and acted drama Yet he carried this intimacy with millions. He talked to them quietly as children of half hidden dreams and unworded joys in Peter Pan; when they grew up he spoke to them grown men in "The Admirable Crichton," and grown women in What Every Woman Knows His great literary value was that of recognition: it impossible that he could have written about us, courage, fears, our hopes without knowing us. The Barrie reader feels that Barrie knew him.
 His penetration subtle witty personal, went so deep that it probed to the univerSalS at the base of human character. He showed that were all little ministers and Tommies and Grizels and Peters and Wendys; he persuaded us, in spite of the hard shell attitudes of life, to look inward and be pleased by what we saw That he retained his opt-

Where the Okapi Lives

The okapi lives placidly IN me
depths of the Belgian Congo and IS
highly esteemed by the pygmies OF
the region for his succulent meat,
but also greatly feared because ne
can repel even lions attack with
his battering-ram skull and his RIB
crushing hoofs. Possessed OF four
stomachs, and eyes which operate
independently of each other, allow
ing him to look two ways at once,
he lives a solitary life behind the
camouhage of his striped red and
purplish markings. He IS fastldious-
ly clean. Every morning and night
he bathes himself thoroughly, with
the result that he is the most nearly
odorless animal in all Africa. He
is never bothered by ticks or tiies,
But this bathing enthusiasm OF the
okapi is also his Achilles heel
He is usually caught in traps plant
ed at his favorite watering hole.

The word used when, although you
are doing something for the first
time, you have an odd feeling that
you have done the exact thing be-
fore is paramnesia. II is a COM
mon experience, and, briefly ex-
planned, the reaction depends upon
a little trick of the mind manifested
by momentary loss of sense Of
time and space. The individual en-
tiers into an experience or situa-
ton, obtains fleeting impression of
this situation. then the attention is
momentarily attracted to some
thing else. The period of time may
be almost infinitesimal. Then upon
the return of the attention to the
original situation this lapse OF time
is lost to the individual and the pc.
riod between the two experiences
seems occasionally to expand into q
