My husband has many faults said a
wife to me. but he has never looked at
another woman
BY looking she meant admiring or
paying attention to any woman but her
self. | supposed.
such looking would be an unpardon-
able sin in your eyes?" / asked.
TT certainly would" she replied en-
phatically ut would be exactly that"
l knew that her husband was not an
easy man to live with. that he was some
times cross and moody that he was not
always strictly temperate-indeed, that he
was lacking in many of the attributes
Il at go to the making of a gentleman.
Yet she could forgive all OF these. The
one thing she would not have forgiven
would be the looking at another wo-
man"
Marital infidelity would be hard TO
pardon" l remarked. do you mean
that is the offense you could never con
done?"
What woman could?" she returned.
But that was not what / meant. ]
meant that George has never since our
marriage shown the slightest admiration
for any woman but me. that he has never
flirted bit, that he has never talked
silly nonsense TO anybody. IT," her face
flushing, 81 caught him doing any OF
those things-well l would never forgive
him-and I am always watching to be
sure that he doesn't do them. One can't
trust men in such matters"
Words spoken In my hearing some
years ago by a young husband flashed
into my mind. II used to think" he said,
that TO admire any woman but one S
wife was an awful offense, that TO make
love 10 anybody else was a sin. But II is
evidently a sin to which my wife, who
loves me. l know, fancies l might stoop.
II has been hard for me to maintain my
preconcieved opinion of the evil of such
practices since / find that she thinks
me capable OF them. Were ! less strong
in my principles l might almost feel that
might as well have the game as the
name"
That was. as / have said. some years
ago Now he has both the name and the
game. Is the blame altogether his? Did

his mind the suggestion that It would

The wonderfulness OF autumn brings
great Joy to the appreciative mind
1.-THE death Of the year. Is not death at
all, but a sleep to be followed by re-
newal. Autumn stands, not for a season
of sere and falling leaves and of desc
late and moaning wind but rather as
time of blessedly crisp. cool days with
the tang OF life and inspiration In the
air
Summer Is the season for the golden
spoon play-folk of the world. To work.
ers it is likely to be one protracted fight
with heat and longing for distant
loneliness. 1t means waking after rest
less nights to sitting days 1t means
dragging through turgid heat in the hope
that tomorrow. always tomorrow. will be
cool and endurable.
And then comes autumn. You wake
some morning with marvellous feelin 3
Of power and energy that causes you
to throw back the covers and fairly to
leap up. aflame with a mere zest Of
being alive. You have slept we'll and
dreamlessly. In through your open win
dows comes the clear cool. bracing air
OF the world. You are ready to go out
and meet life with zest and force
OF awakening power, this season of re-
freshed vitality one Of resolution? Why
not determine to make yourself a force
in your world, and to work and to ac-
complish? why should the eve of a
calendar date be saved as a time for
resolutions to be made and broken?
Just making resolutions and failing to
keep them is sort of breaking faith
n
harm your character.
But now, at the coming of autumn.
when you feel your powers renewing
themselves. when the child world goes
back to school. when the forces of bust
ness life gather themselves again in
preparation for the winter campaign
now is the season for determining Just
what power there is in you to carry you
on to place in the world.
Take an hour off one OF these splen-
did vital days and go away alone in the
open somewhere. Sit down and give
yourself over to the feeling OF renewed
force within yourself. Let the Joy OF
life mean something to you. Be con-
scious OF powers coursing through your
own refreshed blood. Feel a kinship with
all tho bigness OF nature.
anu lheh make up your mihu that yoI
have a group OF natural assets right
within you and that It is bad business moi

Now, having determined that you arr

that you mean to use that power, turr

of your own life. Doesn't your work hole

the earth. We would be plunged into
darkness so quickly that for a moment
nothing would be visible. Then the
piercing rays of stars would begin to
affect our eyes, and after that, grad
ually, our immediate surroundings would
dirnly emerge from the gloom, There
would be starlight. but no moonlight, for
the moon shines only with reflected sum
ligh'
At first the disappearance of the light
would be the thing most troublesome to
us, but as time went on a chill would
begin to creep over the sunless earth and
out of the dark and frozen air all around
the globe a pallid snow would descend,
as the atmospheric moisture condensed.
When days and weeks had elapsed the
awful cold of outer space would chill
the atmosphere down to the earth's sur
face and animal and vegetable life would
alike perish in the endless winter of
universal night
The time mentioned above as that
which would elapse after the extinction
of the sun before the earth would be
plunged in darkness depends, of course,
upon the speed of light. combined with
the distance from the sun to earth. Ac-
cording to the table of astronomical con-
stants used in the calculations of the
American Nautical Almanac office, the
mean distance of the earth from the
sun Is 92,SS4,767 statute miles. while the
velocity of light Ia 1S6,SA miles pei
second.
Dividing the first number by the sec
ond we get, for a quotient, 4s6,56S, which
represents the number of seconds and
thousands of a second that light requires
TO pass from the sun to the earth. Divid'
this by sixty gives us the same period
in minutes and parts of minute.
But 1t must be remembered that g
slight degree of uncertainty exists in re-
gard to the figures representing the dis
tance Of the sun and the velocity Of
light. The sun may be a hundred thou
sand miles nearer, or farther, and tbs
velocity Of light may be twenty-five
miles per second greater. or less, thar
the figures adopted show. Still, this
would make but an extremely small
change In the time required for the pas

more constant to her had she shown that
she trusted him?
/ wonder this often as / see husbands
and wives making themselves wretched
with suspicion of each other. Such suspi-
cions gre so futile that one marvels that
sane human beings indulge in them. For,
after all, what good are they? As one
Irishman expresses IT. what do they
get body?"
l wish / could make wives understand
that no man was ever kept from wrong
doing by surveillance or espionage. All the
watching in the world will not make a
man faithful IL he determines to be I'M
faithful. Moreover, the knowledge that his
wife is suspecting him will lessen his
love for her and make him feel justified
in eluding her vigilance.
But. looking deeper still, can a woman
become a spy upon the actions OF the
man she has married and yet retain her
self-respect? / doubt it,
l may be entirely wrong, but | do
not think that woman can read let
ter sent 10 her husband, and intende I
for his eyes alone. and not sink to the
level Of the man who Is attempting TO
deceive her He. is cheating her; she
cheating him. lie is deceiving her; she
is deceiving him. He is pretending fidel-
lily to her, yet carrying on clandestine
! correspondence with another woman; the
wife pretends that She is open and hon
orabe In her dealings with him, and at
| the same time is pifering letters from
his pockets and reading that which is
his and his alone.
! Her sin is not as great as his-but II
/ Is the same kind OF a sjn-onIv VARYING
/ from his In quantity.
! What. then. is the wife TO do who sus-
poets her husband?
| First Of all, she can try TO trust him,
and can let him feel that she trusts him.
In all this matter we are not dealing with
| the wife whose husband has been crini-
nally unfaithful-only with the wife of
the man whose vanity is touched by the
flattery Of clever women and who likes
to be popular with the fair sex.
II the wife can show how that at
tentions from other women do not hurt
her and that she believes that nobody
can really shake him from his allegiance
to her. she Is pretty sure OF holding his
affection. II not. IL Is not worth holding
II is his vanity, not his heart that Il
affected And one reason wife resents
her husbands admiration Of other wonei
Is that such admiration wounds her owr
! vanity a little.
For. after ALL In the matter OF beinl
vain there IL really not much 10 choose
