Knowing the aversion OF her hus-
band to letter writing, the wife Of
Chicagoan thus admOished him In his
departure on a recent eastern trip:
"Now, John. as neither l nor tho
children can accompany you. you must
bs eyes and ears for us. and drop us
an occasional postal card. telling us
anything Of interest you may see and
hear. Don't forget will your
The husband promised and took his
departure. The next morning but one
his wife received a postal card con-
tanning the following message: Dear
wife; l reached Pittsburg all right.
Yours an"
Though disappointed, she excused
the brevity Of the communication ON
the ground that her husband was
doubtless pressed for time. Two days
later, however. another card arrived,
bearing the startling announcement:
Here am in New York. Yours ever"
Still later came another: II am indeed
In New York. Yours"
The wife swallowed her disappoint-
ment and. being good at retaliation,
seized her pen and wrote: Dear hus-
band. the children and l are in Chi
cago. Yours"
A few days later she wrote again:
I'VE are still In Chicago"
In her next communica ton she grew
a little more enthusiastic. She wrote:

Some time ago a woman who has
helped many people to see the wonders
Of the world about them told a friend
how her own eyes were opened. One
summer she happened to be spending
q few days at the same hotel with
certain naturalist. His enthusiasms
did not interest her at all; the progress
Of the embroidery which she had
brought with her for pickup work"
was of far greater concern to her than
all the miracles Of June. But one
morning, seeing him eagerly searching
the ground under her window, she
leaned out and asked curiously: "What
do you find so absorbing down there7"
"Come out and seer he called, in reply.
Why she did it she could not tell. Per-
haps, after all, the call of the day was
too great to be resisted. She threw
aside her embroidery and went out.
That embroidery was never finished,
for the world Of delight she discovered
that day changed her whole life. She
bought books and microscope. and be-
gan to investigate for herself. then
with her children. then with other peo-
pie. After while she began to write.
and the writing brought her new
friends and the introduction to scien-
tific clubs and societies. A score Of
fresh interests filed her days, inter-
ests which she met easily with the re.
newed health won from the long out-of-
doors hours. She lived, In short, a new
life In the midst Of the new heaven
and earth to which her eyes had been
opened. There are thousands Of them
who need to release tired eyes from
their petty. exacting, needless tasks, to
straighten tired backs, and to let the
fresh air in upon their lives. The high
est city walls cannot wholly bar out
nature. She visits city roofs and streets
and yards a. freely as the country
hedgerows All that she asks IL an
opportunity to reveal her treasures of
health and Joy; her constant CRY is,
