He wished his wife were different! but being a kind hearted American husband, he did not rise up In righteous indigna tion and Insist upon her doing her part. An only child married and went to distant lands to dwell.' The father fell 111, and, after a long sickness found himself unable to work as hard as of old. Then the neglect of the home began to show. There was nothing from the cellar to attic which was In order. It required large outlays of money to restore the ravages of neglect and t,tme. And before the man and wife reached the age of 69 they found themselves In troubled financial seas. Both loked prematurely'' old; the man from overwork and worry, and the woman from an Idle, Inactive life. There was no bright prospect for them of a restful and peaceful and comfortable old age. The man had never spent any money In riotous living. He had never been a club man or given to extravagant habits, Ho had simply erred by being too pa tient as & husband, and by not over seeing tho homo, and Insisting upon the o-operatlon of his wlfo In making their future safe, by sane and senslblo methods of housekeeping.

The curious conduct of the weather re cently serves to cull attention to the very Important researches which the Smith sonian Institution has been conducting foi- some years concerning the va riability of tho sun. Whether the re cent sudden drop of tempera t u r e which carried the the rmometer in New York on June S lower than It has ever been known to fall at this time of the year since the weather bureau was established was due to a fail ure of radiation from the sun cannot be definitely stated, but there Is no longer doubt that the sun Is a variable star, and that Its varia tions are often sufficient to produce n general fall, or rise, of temperature amounting, In brief periods of time, to several degrees. The cause of these variations Is not fully I'liderotood, but It evidently resides In the sun Itself. In effect It Is somewhat like the fluctuations of a fire alternately dying down and then blazing more fiercely, But tho sun Is not a fire, al though It Is hotter than any fire we can produce. It Is a globe of Intensely heated j gases. In which substances like Iron, 1 which are solid upon the earth, exist In ' the state of glowing vapors. : It remains in a constantly heated con dition because of its lmmtnee mass (more I Who Walks or Rides Suit, and a Stylish Motoring Coat front and a loose box plait at the back.

The mutual attraction of Us gaseous particles draws thorn together, producing an Im mense compression In the Interior, and this compression serves to Increase the heat. As the heat radiates away from the sun's surface the supply within Is kept up by the closer contraction of the whole mass. The sun becomes gradually smaller through this process, diminishing In diameter, according to Helmholtz, about 360 fcot per year. But tho diameter of tho sun is about 8G8.000 miles, so that Its diminution In 1,000 years would not bo more than about fifty miles, or less than one-seventeenth-thousandth part of the whole, an amount that would not be perceptible from the earth. Yet, Helmholtz shows, by tho me chanical lawn of heat, that this relatively slight contraction of the sun Is sufficient to account for all the heat that It con tinually gives out. Now phyHlcs teaches us that this pro cess cannot continue forever. The time will come (and wo cannot tell Just when) when th6 sun will cease to contract, and will begin to solidify. In the meantime the partially condensed vajKJrs forming (tn atmosphere will become thicker, until they absorb so much of. the radiation from within that the amount of heat thai Is sent to the earth and other planets will decrease enormously, and at length be cut off entirely, Millions of years will elapse before that state of affairs Is reached, but meanwhile many temporary variations aro. to be ox-pec-ted, and the observations that we have referred to indicate that such va riations have already begun to manifest themselves, Here Is where the studies of astrono The upper part of the coat Is cut to simulate the up-to-date short cutaway suit coat, and Is fastened (n a diagonal line by three flat buttons.

Some vary so little that,, very careful observations are re quired to show any ohange at all, but many others loom and sink like a dying conflagration, and seem to be quite near their end. For millions of years, perhaps, the worlds that circle, around such perishing suns have been experiencing conditions that one cannot present to the Imagina tion without a shudder. Gradually the heat and light of their sun lave been withdrawn; their Inhabitants have seen the orb on whose radiation they depended become fainter and fainter, with many sudden but only temporary recoveries, until at last It faded from sight, and with Its disappearance tho frightful cold of Interstellar space extinguished the last spark of life. To think that our sun is exempt from such an end would be as foolish ns for a man in the heyday of youth and strength to flatter hlmsolf that he can escape the fate that, one by one, overtakes-his older companions. Tho variable stars are sym bolic of the mortality of suns Just as the patstng of our friends Into the shadows of age Is symbolic of the evanescence of our own lives, Henco the Intense Interest whloh the detection of even the slightest failure of tho energies of the sun must have for all thoughtful minds.

The Modern Girl A New Species of the Feminine Sex lly DOROTHY D1.Y Have you ever considered the modern girl and how she differs from the maidens of the past? She's a new species of tho feminine sex. and no moro like her grand mother, or even her mother, than If she had been wafud down from the planet Mars Instead of having Just strollod out of the nursery. We haven't taken much account of her, but you've got to reckon with her in tho future, and It's time wo sat up and took notice. Consider these lit tle stories as Il lustrations of tho young person and her point of view. The first Is on divorce. The other day 1 overheard two young girls talking. Snld one: "When a girl marries she should be very, very carettjl In choosing her husband, nild after she Is married she should do tho best she can to maku a good wife and a happy home, but If sho finds out that she has made a mistake, and Is miserable, thnnk heaven, sho does n't havo to stand It. She can always get a divorce." Sntd the other girl: "Oh, of course, that's tho only thing to do under such circumstances. It won't bo my fault If my marriage turns out badly, because I'm going to do everything I can, and bring every particle of Intelligence l''' got to making It a success, but nono of that suffer .and-be-strong business In mlnal If my husband Isn't what ho should be. or treats me badly, or I find I'vo made an error of Judgment, I'm going to cor rect it Just ns I would any other mistake. "I'm not going to stick to It as people used to do In the Dark Ages. Aren't you r- Charles Dickens By III3V. THOMAS 11. tlRHGOUV. Forty-three years ago, June 9, 1870, as the telegraph ticked over the world the news that Charles Dickons was dead, mil lions of hearts felt a genuine sorrow. In th great story teller's death each one of tho count Ichh multltudo felt a personal loss, a deep private grief, Sickens came homo to men's "business nnd bosoms," made, himself n living part of the dear, sacred domesticities of their lives, and when ho passed out It was like losing one of tho family, llko saving good bye to a most Intimate fried. V Dickens wan the novelist of the people the plain folk-as Sir Walter Scott hod been the novelist of tho high nnd tho mighty, the kings, the nobility and tho aristocracy. In reading Sir Walter peo ple were, of course, delighted, for the "Wizard of tho North" always charmed; but they could not forget the fact that they wcro reading of n world that was quite apart from tho one In which they lived and moved, while In Dlckuns they found themselves In their own world, a world "ull of which they saw and a pnrt of which they were." And In addition to being thoroughly democratic, human, realistic, holding the mirror up to naturo and thus reflecting, In the truest fashion, the actual facts of life, Dickens was intensely sympathetic, loving the persona and places ho wrote about and making his readers love them. The secret of Dickens1 Imperishable hold upon us was clearly perceived by Talne; "Leave science to the wire, pride to the nobles, luxury -to. the rich; have compassion on humbler wretchedness; J the smaller nnd most despjsod being, may In himself be worth as much as thou sands of the powerful and the, proud. Take care not to bruise the delicate souls which flourish In all conditions, under all costumes, In all ages. Belluvo thjft humanity, pity, forgiveness, are the finest thins In man. To live Is nothing; to be powerful, learned, Illustrious Is little; to be useful Is not enough. He alone has lived and Is a man who has wept at the romembranco of a benefit, given or re ceived." It was because of this large and yet tender humanity In Dickens that ho se cured such a hold upon the world, nnd was able, In the words of Daniel Web ster, "to do more for tho amelioration of the conditions of the English poor than all tho statesmen Great Britain has sent to Parliament." Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX Then Don't Do Itt Dear Miss Fairfax: I have known a young man one year my senior for about two years, and thought very much of him, nnd we were on quite friendly terms. A few months ago we had a little quarrel and I got angry at him, but regret It very much now. Although I know that he does not love me, still I care for his friendship very much and 1 am very axlous to talk to him again, but I do not come In contact with him, Therefore wish you would kindly advise me what course to take, for I do not want to apologize, as he would throw tho same up to me.

If he Is so unjust, so petty as to taunt you for having apol ogised, then don't consider It for u moment. Let the matter. end as It Is.

Instead of In our grandparents' and our parents' time, when people you were In your marriage, or how much you hated tho person you were married to, you had to endure It?" The first girl smiled Indulgently. "They were bound In tho swaddling clothes of superstition, all right," she said. I gasped with surprise. These gtrls be long to old. conservative, rather narrow- ) minded families, and they themselves, ate sweet, modest. Intelligent, well edu cated young women who haven't the faintest idea of being revolutionary, or anything of that sort. What they said simply voiced the viewpoint of tho new generation. They didn't argue about the ethics of divorce at all. They simply accepted' ' " divorce as a fact, a modern convenience, Something that tended to make Urn- pleasanter, Just ns they did In elevators In apartment buildings, or electric lights, or running hot and cold water In bath . rooms.

Nor can you argue the suffrage ques Hon with young women, because they accept It as a fact that Is Incontrovert- A Ible that they are the equals of the A young men they know, and havo Just as " r much right to a voice In government. You could find a needle In a haystack' easier than a college-bred girl who Is art 3 "1 nntl. p And this Is what the modern young girl thinks about woman's sweet dependence.' 0 A very rloh girl said to me the other day: "I've got the best and most generous father that any girl ever had. He show- era on mo everything that money can f buy. I've got charge accounts all the way up nnd down Fifth avenue, and every month he gives me a big allowance, but I never seo a girl standing behind a ' counter, or sitting behind a typewriter that I don't envy her.

"I would glvo anything on earth to -know that I could stand on my own feet I instead of being a miserable parasite' hanging on somebody else. And every1 rich girl I know feels the same way. Dut I'vo got one comfort, I'll never have ttf 1 ' bn dependent on a husband, How a, woman endures the humiliation 6f having M to ask her husband for every cent she' ' spends I don't understand. It's eough to, kill her. nnd I don't hell going to do it much longer. I think tn the ruiure that when a girl hoan't got an In dependent fortune of her own she'll con tinue after marriage at whatever busl. ness sho was In before marriage.
