wONIFS< MUST EXERCISE TO
 RETAIN BEAUTY OF FIGURE

I.ondon.-'Tn America I found that nearly all women wish to be beautiful. and realize that the first thing is to be healthy. well developed and strong
 .sT-he reason why this is more so in America than it Is in England is be- cause they are idolized by their men. and therefore try to be at their best"
 This declaration was made by Miss NIaude O'Dell, who has just returned from a visit to America She claims to be the worlds best proportioned woman
 ''If every woman gave ten minutes . day to the right exercise. in three months time she would be so well and so changed that she would not know herself" she said '-It is not easy to tell a woman what to do un- less you know her peculiarities, but there Is a simple exercise which every woman may benefit from Many women suffer from indigestion and they do not exercise the muscles of the stomach
 "A woman's cOrsets should be n1ade of muscle not whalebone- These muscles are not used. and hence these troubles from which women usually suffer.
 virtually every woman she de- clared "can have a perfect figure by Droper exercise But she must re- member that proportion is everything and she must select her exercises with care and cultivate the right muscles One part of the body over-developed is ugly and useless

of my patients voice raised in shrlh anger.
 'eI started to go to her. my first thought being to curb her excitement, but when I heard MT. Lorne's Volce hesitated. T did not mean to listen, cided that it would save them rom embarrassment if I did not appear; for their argument was about finances and of a most private nature.
 "Mr Lorne was urging his wife to sign some sort of paper which would enable him to sell a. certain piece of property in which I gathered she had equal rights; and she vehemently re- fused I cannot repeat the eXacf words; but it was evident that he was bitterly of his position in practically l living on the money she had inherited from her first husband--of whom he spoke in a. decidedly uncoGnpliment- property of his own which would carry him safely over some crisis in the stock market and turn the tide. 1 if his wife would only sign the doc- | unent.
 'She declared that the property in l question was bound to increase in value, and if he had been a. fool and got himself into a hole he must take ! the consequences.

After a. few minutes I left him quietly talking to his wife; and requesting hirn not to remain more than twenty minutes, I went to my own room, where I wrote a letter In exactly the time I had stipulated I returned and found that he had gone, and my pa- tient was in the condition which have described.
 .I, looked in the boudoir and saw that Miss Meade was stiN sleeping, and when I awakened her later learned she had heard no one in her sister room asked Mrs Lorne herself II any one had touched the bandage, but she denied it and seemed resent I full She was not a. T>rticulariy easy patient to handle, being hlgh-strung and self-indulgent to a degree; and it was essential that she should not be permitted to excite hereslf, so l dared not question her further"
 The quiet unconditional voice had continued without emphasis or hes- itation until the end and now the girl sat composedly awaiting the next ouestion. Could she have anticipated this scene and carefullye rehearsed it? Her boise seemed all at once too per feet not to have been studied.
 Miss RiSby, there must have been something else to arouse your sus- picions. You would not, in the ordi- nary performance of your duty, pre- 2. vent a man from having a private in- terview with his dying wife merely because on an earlier visit of his the bandage about her arm become 1oos- ened and her fever increased
 The shot told, as he could note by the sudden tightening of the girls lips: but she shook her head.

I cannot ever under the present circumstances dis cuss the private affairs of q family whose household I enter in a profes- sional capacity, and I do not pretend to hazard any motive for such aa pos ssible act on MT. Lorne'S part; my only duty was toward my patient and fulfilled it to the best of my ability
 "Yet you did learn something O the private affairs of that family Odell seized upon the opening sh' had unwittingly given to him. "Yol do know or Suspect a possible motive on Mr. Lorne'S part for such a crime Miss Risby, there are certain occa i. sions when professional ethics mus be put aside.
