RELATIONS OF A WIFE
By AnEnE GARRISON

"All sick men are like children" she declared. "Of course, they cling to the nurses, the women who minister to them. Silly people call it falling in love, but it's really only a, craving for sympathy and affection born of in tense physical weakness. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred returning strength banishes the sentimental feeling as thoroughly as if it had never sweethearts only recognized this there would be far less jealous misery in the world.'
 "Do-You-Mind-" , I knew that to the young officer S delirium- weakened brain I was not only the woman whose hands and voice had power to quiet him, but the helpless creature he had rescued from death-and worse-and I realized that the situation was one which would re- quire most delicate handling upon my part.
 I must do nothing that would en- courage his fancy. Upon the other hand, I knew-far better than did anyone else-how much the sick man depended upon me. I could not cease my visits to him because I had dis covered Iu6 CndTdCtoT OI LIS ISSl1llS for me, but I realized that I must tread very warily until the time that his complete convalescence should re- lease me.
 Do you mind my - ask ing you questions?"
 The faltering voice came to my ears again, and the clutch of his hand upon mine was almost convulsive. I put my other hand over his soothingly, as l would have done to a trembling child.
 "No, indeed," I answered with an , assumption of cheerfulness which l was far from feeling. But don't you think you would better wait to ask questions until you are stronger?"
 I'm strong enough now" he re- turned obstinately, and, indeed, his voice was firmer than it had yet been. And I must know these things It is necessary in my work.
 A little smile twisted the corners of his mouth. It was a sad little grim ace, with a hint of melancholy mock cry in 1t. I caught the meaning of 1t at once. Poor chap! Tn his weak ness he fancied that he was conceal ing the real reason for his questions.
 He lay quiet for a long moment. then said clearly, slowly:
 Pardon me-, but I must ask you this. If your husband isn't dead, are you divorced or living apart from him ?"
 Impulsively, angrily, I withdrew my hand from his. Even if he were ill., there was a. limit to my patience. But as I looked again at his sunken face his suffering eyes, my heart con- demned me for my harshness. I schooled my voice to calmness.
 My husband and I are very happy together,'' I said, with a, tiny prayer for forgiveness for the lack of truth in my answer.

SIDE TALKS
Through Other Folks Eyes
DY HUCR CAMERON

i There are some people in the world who seldom see through other people S eyes.
 And there are other people who just as seldom see through their own eyes. The first class is the commoner,- we all know too many of the self assured positive Casually rather crude and ignorant people who never change their wrong opinions never improve their crude and un- appealing selves, because they see no need for change or improvement. . The other is less common.-but most of us know at least one person who is forever looking at himself and his possessions and all that pertains to him, not self-reliantly through his own eyes, but through the eyes of some frend of stronger personality. She Sees Her House Through Her
 Friends Eyes.
 I visited last week a woman of this type She had built herself a house on the top of a hill. She was very proud of it and satisfied with the location until a friend visited her and asked her why in the world she built in such a windy, exposed place; told her Of a charming home she had seen recently nestled half way down a bill, and said it was too bad when she might have had a similar loca- ton that she had chosen as she did One would have thought that the vis- itors rudeness would have revolted her hostess. On the contrary, she took to looking at her house through the other woman's eyes and to won dering if she had not made a mis- take after all. She had been perfect ly satisfied and happy before. Now she was dissatisfied.
 Another Woman gets Hate on a
 Gown.
 Another woman whom l know is forever getting a hate on some per fectly good gown, because someone unkindly tells her that it makes her look fat, or is too bright a color for her, or something of that nature. She picked out the gown because she liked 1t, but she can no longer see it through her own eyes, only through the eyes of her critical friend l her cdtical friend.
 Of course, there are few of us who go to such extremes of self distrust but think most of us are inclined to look at some things through other peoples eyes when our own would be better. For instance, when we furnish our homes to impress our friends and not simply to suit our own sense of the beautiful and use ful. arc we not looking through other folks eye? And when we spend 1 more money than we can afford, to
  arc we not viewing our lives through his eyes rather than our own?
 Use His Eyes and your Own Too.
 Since we are only sure of one life 1 on this earth, it does seem rather | foolish to order it to please our
