Miss Alvera Hettermarin has returned from Chicago and Miss Marie Kempfer is spending a week with her - •--______ Make# a Difference Tunkins says whether a m.n '*as excusable or inexcusable faults "depends almost entirely on whether jrou happen to like him or not.--Washington star,c TANLEY WICKEIISHAM wns one of those widowers, youngish, well-to-do, well set up, over whom mothers with marriageable daughters, and the daughters themselves sighed, in spite of .the fact that Wickersham was the father of four children (one of them already beginning in his father's business)*; the others scarcely more than tots. After the death of his wife, Wickersham broke up the beautiful home they had occupied during the period of a happy marriage, and moved wlth his orphaned family to a large* and comfortable suite in a family hotel, where he Installed two governesses and a maid to look after the two little boys, aged seven and eight, and a baby still crawling. About once or twice a week, as a treat to his children, Wickersham dined with his family down in the public dining room. The youngsters loved this, never seeming to tire of the sense of novelty afforded them by the bright lights, music and £ayety of the hotel restaurant. The eldrst boy, Jonathan, also took part in these occasions. He was a sleek young fellow, well set up, vigorous, just out of college. The two men, father and son, were a presentable pair. a . Sympathetic dowagers and mar: riageable daughters and widows, too; , looked with tender eyes upon the picture of this little family. The gray- ' haired, handsome and rather tiredfaced father, his good looking twentyyear- old son, the three lovely children and the governesses. A prosperous type of family, bereft of the grace of a woman at its head. There was something Ineffably pathetic about the little boys and the prattling baby, to say nothing of the eldest boy-and the handsome widower. Wickersham was a meticulous parent, that is, he never lost sight of the fact that his children, each and every one of them, were entities unto themselves, and as such, deserved his personal consideration. He was never too tired, too harried, too harassed with his large business interests, to listen as specifically and as interestedly to the tribulations of his little girl, for instance, as he was to lend serious attention to an important business complication. The affairs of his adult son he heeded with a careful consideration that was not so much father and child, as man to man. The yonns: Jonathan did not hesitate to confide to his father his affairs of the heart, of the soul, of the mind, and of the spirit. Wickersham the elder had succeeded In establishing between himself and his boy an ideal camaraderie. It was this characteristic of the little family which used to excite the interest and admiration of the occupants of the family-hotel on those occasions when the Wickershams dined in a group in the public dining room; the little boys seeming quaintly precocious, conversing so seriously with their father, who In turn listened, replied, debated and discussed. Jonathan Wlck? ersham had a way of talking to his father, as if be were some one with whom he was on amiable and rather reserved terms. There was absolutely no family bickering; no undue intimacies; no sharp reproofs. Except for the fundamental fact that it was a family without a wife and a mother at its head, here was an ideal brood. It seemed strange, as the years moved on, that a man of Wickersham's social and "financial importance had not remarried. The dowagers wagged among themselves over this fact and the marriageable daughters and the marriageable widows yearned. It wa$ along about the time that the baby was four years old, that a Miss Felice Daly and her mother moved to the hotel, and as fortune would have it, occupied a small table adjoining that occupied by the Wickershams. An acquaintance was struck up In much the fashion that hotel acquaintances occur, and It came about gradually that young Wickersham and the brunette and quite demurely lovely Felice, began a friendship. There was nothing unusual in that, however. Young Jonathan was at that period of his life when his heart responded more quickly than his mind. His fickleness Was a standing joke between him and his father. Girls had come into his young life and girls had gone out of it again. More than once he had poured forth what seemed to him the pangs of a love affair whith was to be the final and outstanding one in his life, and more than once had confessed to his father that the flame had flickered and died. With Felice It was different only to this extent. She was a girl of uuusual sensitiveness, combined with a quiet beauty also that made her seem a creature under glass, as it were. She was the sort of girl who had been educated in a French convent and hftd lived abroad with her mother for the greater part of her life. The American "flapper" was a new and astonishing crenture to her. She had none of her technique, none of her characteristics. As Jonathan confided to' his father, th^re was something of » Illy about Mttce, so aloof she was, so calm, so white, so patient. The Wickeishsm children adored her, clamored iW b« to join them at table and at their garnet. No, Felice .was not quite the run-ofthe- mill type of girl so far as Jonathan was concerned. She puzzled him, she quieted him, she was, as he put it to Wickersham, a sedative. It was this quality in the girl that seemed to fascinate the boy most The same age as Jonathan, she had nevertheless, an adult manner with him. She let his youthful enthusiasms beat up around her like a plunging surf; she listened quietly and just as quietly, advised. There was nothing reckless, impulsive, or of the juvenile about Felice. Whether he was in love with her or not, certainly she had Inspired In Jonathan something of awe. For the first time the boy was a tflt hesitant in confiding in his father ; not so much because he feared lack of sympathy: on the contrary, Felice was probably closer to his father's ideal for him than any girl Jonathan had yet known. But the difficulty was that Jonathan was too confused to gather his thoughts. For a little while, it had seemed to him that here, at last, was the "grand passion." Felice was the sort of girl to shed a quiet and pearly kind of radiance over the lives of those about her. Her beautiful old mother, who wore precious lace and cameos, was part of the rare tranquility and breeding that was Felice's background. The trouble with Jonathan was, that as he came to see more and more of Felice, he found himself admiring her more than he loved her. It was finally Wickersham who approached his son about the matter of Felice, as the two young people came more and more to go about together. "Jonathan, where do you stand with Felice?" "Hang it, father, I wish I knew." "It's about time yoo did, son. You can't string along with a girl like $ellce, as you have with the others." "I understand that, father. You're right. This much I know: I admire her more than any girl I have even known." "You lov$ her?'* "If I knew, I wouldn't be dangling along this way." . - .. "It's up to you to find out , pretty soon." ,, •• v "You're right, father." The weeks marched OS. It. was Wickersham who again apprOafched his son. "I don't want to seem to barge In, son, but I won't have things go on with Felice in this way." "You mean it's up to me to decide?" "Exactly." "You're right My uncertainty has decided me. You can't love a girl the way I feel I have to love a girl in order to marry her, and dilly-dally this way. You can count It being off with Felice, father." "" There continued1 to be something troubled about Wickersham. That same night he approached Felice. "Where do you stand with my. son, Felice?" he asked her outright UI feel toward hljp," she said, looking Wickersham squarely In the eye, "as a mother." "Will you be mother to him, Felice?" he said, meeting her squarely in the eye. There Is a fair, llly-Uke personality at the bead of the Wickersham family now.

G. Abbot of the Smithsonian institution. Meteorologists have hitherto believed that weather (which Is defined as the departures from regularity In climate) depends principally on the Irregularities of the earth's surface, and, like rough water in a stream over a rocky bed, is essentially unpredictable for any considerable time In advance. Doctor Abbot presents evldende to show "that weather, on the contrary, is caused chiefly by the frequent In. terventlons of actual changes of th<)~ emission of radiation within the sun itself." These changes in solar radiation are periodic and promise to be predicted long In advance. Weather appears to respond directly to them, although there are modifications due to local conditions. The net conclusion is that long range weather forecasting is possible and even probable. i -- The evidence from which Doctor Abbot draws these momentous conclusions consists of the dally measurements of solar radiation made by the observatory of the Smithsonian Institution at Montezuma, Chile, from 1924 to the present. From this great number of observa-_ tlons Doctor Abbot has selected 111 Instances in which the solar constant showed a continuous rise for five consecutive days, and 106 Instances in which the solar constant showed a con tinuous fall for five consecutive days. He then plotted the mean temperature and barometric pressure at Washing ton, D. C., for the periods associated with these rises and falls of the solar constant In every Instance the curves of ten perature and barometlc pressure coi responding respectively to rising and to falling solar radiation showed a marked opposition to each other. That is, when the sun's radiation increased, the temperature and barometric pressure at Washington pursued an opposite course to that which they followed after falling radiation. E. H.
