For surely it Is going to mean something to us together. It Is in the Book of Tate." Nancy sprung up with a gay little laugh, gathering together her scattered letters. "How unoriginal! All men make that same observation at one stage of each flirtation. The Book of Fate must have an unabridged edition." She joined Edith, at the piano. "You still play beautifully, Edith.

"I can only play when I am happy,." she said simply, and went on weaving soft harmonies, with her white fingers. "For Mrs. Burrard. It is a telegram from town."

For while the older children can eat the coarse food they can find, the" babies cannot live on it. Cries coming from the building housing tboev little people, babies between a few weeks old and three years old, can be heard two blocks away. Those babies are starving! A few of them are able to be out in the yard under the trees.

On the roads, leading from town to town in Russia, are skeletons. The roads are filled with refugees, some going in one direction, some In another, all seeking the same thing food.

She felt both relief and embarrassment, It meant that the young officer had decided to overlook the unfortunate innuendo of Curtis Stanley's, and would never ask for an explanation. That was relieving! But It also meant that his proposal of marriage would have to be.an- o rv ci rii. to say: "I ca'n't It would beT easy I An1 vr Trt Kn4 r9 .Nancy, recalling: that biff, masterful young man and the determination of his pursuit since their meeting- at the Stanley dinner party, realized quite clearly that he was not to be easily discouraged by such a refusal.

Studies in radio activity proved th'at the atom Itself is capable of being particles, split upas Into still smaller known "electrons;" but these electrons are not composed of matter at all, but electricity! Hence arose the modern "electrical theory of matter." This theory says that all matter-- Is ultimately electrical at basis;inthat the nature, atom is exceedingly complex and is built up somewhat like our soin lar system, with a central nucleus the middle (like our sun) and a number of particles revolving about it, as our planets revolve around the sun. The distance between them would be as great, proportionately, as the distances between the various planets and the sun, in our solar system! The central nucleus, on the modern theory of matter, consists in a negative charge of electricity, while the particles revolving round it are These charges of positive electricity. differ in number, and the various "elements" are merely qualities of the atom, due to the differences between the number of the positive within the atom itself. charges ELEMEXTS CAN BE CHANGED.

When an excess is eaten, what is not used is converted into fat and stored away as such.
