CONFESSIONS Or A
HUSBAND!
The Mans Side OF Married Life
"A Queer Misllap"

We were driving along one of the
Beautiful roads in Westminster
county when a grinding noise was
heard and Edith brought the car
to a sudden stop.
whats the matter?" asked
George.
Edith muttered something about
the carburetor and jumped out of
the car. l went with her, though l
knew no more about engines than 1
did about Greek. George confessed
he was equally ignorant.
After lifting the hood and fussing
with something Edith got back into
the car and tried to start the engine
A whirring sound was the only re-
suit. She tried again with NJ better
success. For half an hour she
worked over the machine.
What on earth can we do?"
walled Dot. Il promised to be home
by 6. l know mother won't give
Bobbie the right things for supper"
George was coughing badly. Il
wouldn't be sorry, either, to get
home" he said
Edith was apparently at her wits
md. 'Give me just a few more min
utes, Dorothy" she begged. "and
then if L can't get the old bus run
ming you and Tom had better take
a train" Fortunately there, was a
station within view.
TN go down and see when
there's a train back to the city" vol
unteered George.
II don't think it's fair for Tom
and me to leave you," said Dot. 1T
would be much better for George to
take me home so he won't make his
cold worse by riding back in an
open a in the cold night air."
That's sweet OF you, dear"
agreed Edith. ITO tell the truth, l
have been reproaching myself tor
taking George out. You won't mind
staying here with me, Tom, will
you? Well manage to get a tow or
something"
l had to express my willingness to
stay although l didn't like the pros
pect. Edith was startling enough
when my wife was along as chaper-
one.
George returned with the infor-
nation that a train "a due in 10
minutes. There wasn't another for
over an hour. 1t seemed the part
of wisdom for him and Dot to take
the first train back to the city,
George made only a feeble protest
at going. 1t was apparent that he
felt far from well.
All four of us walked down to the
station. I had heard something Oh
the vagaries of suburban schedules
on Sunday, but the train was exact
ly on time. I kissed Dot goodby
and promised to get home as early
as / could.
Edith and I walked back to the
car.
Jump in" she commanded.
I obeyed wonderinsly. She got In
with me and pressed the self-start-
ed. The motor spun as swiftly and
truly as though there had been no

But" 1 began. ~
Then I stopped, catching hef
glance. Aunt Harriet could always
freeze me to my marrow when she
drew herself up in that manner.
She was a very handsome woman,
this Mrs. Bradley Bennett. She was,
as her friends said, lone of THE
Benefits" / never in my life met
those who were merely BENEFITS, so
l never knew what the difference be-
tween a Bennett and the Bennett

could recognize, but it did give Aunt
Harriet a superb bearing.
She was very tall. too tall, but she
had overcome this fault by learning
to carry herself beautifully. She
once had red hair: it IA white now
and always exquisitely marcelled
She had kept her lovely skin and
she had kept her slender. young
figure. She dressed to perfection,
wearing only certain colors that she
knew become her-soft greens a
great deal of black and white. a cer-
tain brick dust red, a very dull
shade that she used sparingly. 1t
was very clever of her, for when
enc saw these shades, n thought
of Mrs. Bradley Bennett.
And she affected long necklaces
of strange colored stones and no
other jewelry but her wedding ring.
Win had crossed the room again
and stood in front of her.

going tomorrow. much less OF ak

hoped you would stay with US lar

agreed apologetically. %But my

Editorials For
Women Folks

Verify the atmosphere of the long,
old room with it's old-fashioned fur
niture and bowls of garden flowers
had changed!
There had always been the exqui-
site old pieces, rare chairs, inviting
cushions and the queer old bowls of
fragrant flowers. But there was a
difference, this year-somethins vi
brant, tangible. Margaret noticed
it the moment she came in.
Something is different, Marie;
same carpets and cushions-so the
change must be in you. What is it?"
Margaret had just returned from a
year at college.
She had rather dreaded this visit
with Marie, for somehow, in spite
of the fact that their families had
been friends for years, she had
never enjoyed herself with Marie.
Her visits had been things of duty
rather than pleasure. Marie had
always tried to be nice, it seemed,
but somewhere there had been a
tremendous failure.
So Margaret was surprised at the
glow which she felt the moment she
stepped into the room. and surprised
that, as she sank in the great chair.
she felt glad she had come.
The Change
Marie, 1 know it's yourself-what
have you done-you're, why you're
charming today" Margaret exclaim-
ed.
Marie smiled gently and then
flushed family.
You know how wretched / used
to be; in spite of all of my lovely
things no liked me and there
weren't many people whom 1 liked
and 1 IA never happy. Well, one
day when l was u in the kitchen
helping Sophie, we spoke of a wom-
an VIII m we knew and liked. Sophie
said, law, chile, who wouldn't like
her? Don't she like everybody?'
And then l knew what was the
trouble with me-" said Marie, Il just
hadn't been liking people enough
and that was why nobody cared.
80 1 began liking people," she
concluded.
And I'll wager" said Margaret,
that now somebody cares!"
Marie blushed just a little-in this
day when bushes have almost
ceased to be.
After all, charm is just liking
people," said she.

ARGUMENT
RTER Of

We rang the bell of Ii own house
as though we were utter strangers.
And Parker answered the door and
let us in, and it was still as though
we had come to call at a new house.
Parker was too scared, or too nerv-
Gus, to smile a welcome.
She assumed the solemn, import
ant of one conducting a fu-
neral and led the way into the hall.
She even regarded me with the kind
and sympathetic n that one
might use in looking upon the chief
mourner. 1t began to affect my
nerves Immediately.
Two women were in u living
room. Aunt Harriet sat erect in the
one big armchair, Wins mother "a
hunched up. trying to look at ease.
In the most uncomfortable seat in
the room.
I suppose it was an amusing tab
leaux. but then l was not ready to
see it's fun. Aunt Harriet had SO
well the air of taking the best the
poor little dwelling afforded. of be-
ing hideously uncomfortable, but
too much a martyr to politeness to
say so. And she had our best chair,
too! Whereas Mrs. Taylor. who
really must have been suffering

chair, had the air of pathetically
making the best of it, and of trying
to be cheerful at the same time.
Afterwards 1 wondered what those
two ever talked about.
Win and | stood in the door, and
I still felt like a naughty child.
why Aunt Harriet, it's sweet of
you to come" I murmured mechan-
ically, to break the awful silence.
ut is" Aunt Harriet said. There
was no one to meet me, I had to find
this place by myself with an imbe-

himself"

room and kissing her. She present.
ed a very cold cheek.
This is my husband" I went on,

BY that time 1 needed physical as
well as mental support.
Aunt Harriet turned to him, leav-
ing me for a moment-a moment ]

Win saved the situation.
You needn't pretend you're glad
=, to see me, Mrs. Bennett" he said.
II know just how you feel, I'd feel
the same in your place"
A least you are frank" Aunt
Harriet said, and 1 felt as though
Win had gained a little advantage.
st shan't try to be polite IL even
conventional. I've been sitting here
two solid days, while you-you-"
while l was running off with
your niece" Win said. Il know how
angry you are, 1 don't blame you.
Only you would have done the same
thing in my place"
He went over to kiss his mother.
Somehow 1 felt he had the advant-
age again. There's no way to be
angry at a person who admits his
fault!
you might have waited until !
came, at least"
But you see, If I had, o might
have taken her off to New York."
Win delivered this with a charming
smile. He was, as he said later,
taking the wind from her sails"
and she felt it. 1t made her angrier
because it took away all her argu-
mentS.
II should certainly have taken her
back to New York with me-" she
said. II shall do that anyway-to-
morrow, since there's no train to-

If you are suffering from weak
arches, do not attempt to cure the
trouble by wearing arch supporters.
That would probably make the con-
dition worse, though it is possible
you would have a little temporary
relief. You should strengthen the
arch by means of suitable exercises.
OF the exercises which have proven
to be practically efficient, the fol-
lowing are preferred:
THE outward rolling exercise.
weight on feet, body steadied by sup
Fbort of chair or table. roll outward
1890 times twice daily.
2-Plantar fiexion with supina-
ton. Up and out-rise on toes and
pull heels in.
These exercises should be done 20
to 80 times morning and evening.
without haste. In the second exer-
else special attention should be paid
to keeping the bali of the foot fiat
on the floor, as one comes up twist
Ing the heels inward. and trying to
grasp the floor with the toes.
After a few days a third exercise
may be added-that of voluntary
lifting of the arch and rolling it out
where it belongs, with the whole
foot on the floor. Usually it is not
so easy to get the hang OF" this
exercise, so that to learn to do 1t
rhythmically, and without lifting the
inner edge of the foot, often requires
considerable persistence.
1t would be advisable for you TO
discuss this matter with your fam
lily physician, and if necessary, have
him refer you to a qualified ortho-
pedist for further examination n
advice.
Self Diagnosis
I have a catarrh, which bothers
my breathing. mostly being in the
head. l have lots of sleep but dark
circles appear under my eyes. when
I am trying to get rid of. I cannot
complain about my health In gen.
eral. I also have a cough. which l
have only in the morning when L
stand up. 1t is a dry cough, which
I feel in the chest. I cough on an
average of six times. I catch cold
easily, I sweat easily also. l am
wondering If the dark circles under
my eyes are not some stomach de-
rangement or kidney trouble.
N You probably are inclined to doc
nor yourself. This, of course, Is all
wrong, for s~elf-treatment implies
self diagnosis, and experience shows
that self diagnosis is about 95 per
cent incorrect. By all means go TO
a qualified physician and have him
give you a thorough examination. II
necessary. have him refer you 10 a
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-06-02

qualified nose and throat specialist
for further examination. The cough
may be merely the result of a nasal
catarrh, though it will be well to
have your chest carefully examined
to see that 1t does not come from the
lungs.
Mouth Trouble
I have been suffering for the last
eight months with a bitter. acid-like
tongue. Some doctors call it stoma-
tits, and some don't know what to
call it. T have been treated by all
the competent physicians in this vi
cinity without any relief, and my
ongue feels as II it was on fire all
the time, and the same feeling goes
to my throat and in the glands and
the gums seem to be affected. My
teeth feel as if they were loose. al
though they seem to be solid.
Since you have already consulted
several physicians without relief, let
me suggest that you go to a first
class dentist. Some of the symptoms
you describe resemble those of pyor-
rhea, a condition which Is very COM
mon. and which requires active treat
ment by a qualified dentist.
