It you devote your Saturdays to golfing, or taking photo graphs, you have, In all probability, met the problem of judging distances. ~Bear in mind these few simple rules, nd your difficulty will be lessened. With the naked eye, If you have aver- age fet, you can see the whites of people at thirty yards. at eighty yards ob just see their eyed. When all parts of thelr body are dis- tinguishable, they are 100 yards away; when the outlines of their faces are Just visible, the distance is 200 yards; and when a face appears as a separ- ate dot, you should be 400 yards away. Bix red yards away a group of people can be distinguished singly; but at a further-distance than this no detail of the human form can be deter- mined. Yet at 1,200 yards you should be able to tell a man on horseback from a man on foot; at 2,000 yards he is simply a dot on the landscape.

Bhe remembered suddenly, with a shade of annoyance, that it was only through herself that Millie had known John. - He was the brother of someone she had known in the old days. John was an orphan, too. It had been that partly, perhaps, which had drawn him to Millie. With his broth- er Jim, he hat always llved with an aunt and uncle.

She had forgotten that she had ever been foolish enough to scribble kisses at the end of a letter. And she had often wondered whether he had received her letter. It had not been returned unopened with some of the others. She saw now from the postmark that he must have received it the day before he died. Ah, well, for them it had been too late! . The gods hadn't given them their chance of being young and fool- ish--or was it just being divinely 'wise? But these other two? She turned to the telephone and asked for John's number.

It is a safe assumption that the earliest bearers of this family name for the 'most part came from that parish. In England any man living near a pool or pond would. be likely to have the reference of It attached to his | name. Thus, a man named John, who everybody knew. lived near such a place, would be distinguished from other Johns by the name "John atte Pool," the "atte" being simply a con- traction of "at the."
