pike. Their eggs and tadpoles are. eaten by

waterfowl and fish. The leopard frog is common
- in marshes and the smailer wood frog, fourtd

These are difficult times for
dreamers, © idealists,
individualists and fat men.

I never thought much about the

other evening when one of them
sobbed cut his troubles to me. It
was a sad story and we will deal
with it today.

This fellow comes from a long
line of fatties. Both his father and
mother were heavyweights. and
their fathers and mothers were
heavyweights, too:

“We have a tradition of
avoirdupois,’’ my friend related
wistfully. ‘‘Our family tree
groans with the great weight of
my forebears. But in their day fat
was never a subject for scorn.
‘They were known as hearty, jolly.
citizens: Everybody loved the fat
man. It was a mark of afluence,
good living anda a happy outlook.”
Not any more. The
psychiatrists, of course, ruined
the legend by establishing the
fact—if it is a fact—that most fat
men are secret worriers. The
worry leads. them to over-eat.
Their refrigerators: are their
“white psychiatrists.’’ The
paunch and the jowl then become.
the manifestation of anxiety. The.
medical profession then added its
little bit by warning that the fatty .
has ashorter life expectancy
than the normal or thin person. —
So the jolly fat man is no longer

his’ neuroses and: his gloomy
‘position as iow man in the
mortality statistics?

This naturally leads him to diet
‘and nothing on earth is guite as
melancholy as a fat man before a

cottage cheese.

‘There was a’ case in London,

of the phenomenon, suspecting
rugged that the poor fellow. is. sensitive
about his great beak and that,

But if a man is cursed by
corpulence he is never without a
reminder of it. Let him but enter
a roomful of people and instantly
the conversation will. concern
calories or ‘‘the perfectly won-
derful diet’’ that took 90 pounds
off sc-and-so (he died; unhappily,
on the day he gave it up) and the
case histories of everyone

present who ever lost a pound. | #
And what. of the fat man who :

does make the supreme sacrifice
in the interests of a slyph-like
figure?
"I know a couple of them who

doleful about them. It’s hard to
put your finger on, but there’s
something intangible missing
besides flesh. They accept the
congratulations with a- distant
air, as if they didn’t quite hear
you.
What is it that’s missing?
The answer to that was ex-
pressed the other day by a friend,
a medium-pudgy type, who used
the occasion of his 40th birthday
to begin a -serious reducing»
program. He: put it rather
graphically, 1 thought, when he
reported that wherever he goes—
at work, in theatres, driving the
car—he’s accompanied by the
‘bitter-sweet fragrance of ham
and eggs andhashbrown potatoes.
This, of course, could drive a™
man crazy or, at the. very. least,
sharply intensify the anxiety that
