Everything! She just simply will
not allow him to get old. He has been an
active business man for many years and
some time ago he concluded he would
retire and let his son take charge of af-
fairs, but his wife. who is also advanc-

idea.
"'What! she exclaimed; stop work

never acted like that. You are too
