SHE NEEDED THE EXERCISE
How Man Dodeed Criticism for Allow

Allen had been visiting friends on
their houseboat. moored on Edgewa'
ter, on the Jersey side. When 1t came
time to leave MI and Mrs. Wilson vol
unteered to row Allen and Miss Will
son, sister Of the husband. to dock
near the Fort Lee ferry.
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Wilson are OF
ample proportions, and Allen didn't
like the idea of allowing his hostess
to row, especially as it was rough and
the tide was coming in. So he pro-
tested. mo. l must row." he said.
Couldn't think of it." returned Mrs.
Wilson smiling II need the exercise.
you know. I don't get exercise on the
houseboat." And she had taken the
second pair of oars and settled her
self in the seat behind her husband be-
fore Allen could bestow himself and
baggage and assist Miss Wilson to
seat in the stern.
What will those fishermen think OF
me, allowing a woman to row me-!
he protested. I'm going to explain
it to them as we pass don't want to
get in bad"
Sure enough as the boat passed the
fishermen on the .:iers Allen called
out: The lady needs exercised" And

pearing to take it easy-New York
