Editorials For
Women Folks

John had changed.
Eo had lost much Of the inertia.
Hgntness and ~frivolity that Mary had
loved. He had become a stolid,
moody sort about the house and of
late had spent more time away than
It seemd he should.
He had become too matter of fact,
and smiled Sc ipfrequently that Mary
sometimes wondered If he had for
gotten, how.
Mary was worried and unhappy
about the thing. She wondered If,
after all, married life didn't get a
bit too dull. She thought rather en-
viously of the days when John used
to come bounding up the front steps
and with an enthusiastic word or two
to her mother, make for the library
where he knew she would be.
And then Mary's sister came for
a visit. Mary's sister was one of
those dizzy little folk, scintillant, gay
and forever glad.
She noticed the first day Of her
visit that John had selected a tie of
wonderful tone for his brown suit
and she told him so.
The Change.
John really grinned across the
table at her.
Pretty soon she was telling him
that she liked the way he brushed
his hair straight back, that 1t gave
his forehead a good line, and a few
days later she noticed that John
brought ice cream home for dinner
without being told to. and the little
sister not only thought it was kind.
but told John SO.
John blossomed under the treat
ment. His old gayety and spon-
taneity returned. Verify he was a
different man!
And then Mary realized where her
mistake had been. She had forgot
ten to praise John-she had forgot
ten hat he even needed to be COM
plimented!
Mary hadn't realized that being a
man doesn't make a sensitive in
dividuaf enjoy being taken for
granted. She hadn't realized that

That exercise is good for health
and conducive to continued good
health is an axiom.
Exercise is necessary for all ex-
cept those actually and Lcutely
physically i'll, at all ages. for both
sexes daily, in amount just short Of
faituge.
For the shop girl this may mean
a three-mile walk; for the clerk, an
hours gymnasium work after q rest
from the days grind; for the bust
ness man, two hours Of golf. etc.
Take Daily
But 1t should be taken daily, It
should be compatible with the age
and physique, it should be available
and not a bore, and It should never
be undertaken when tired or hungry.
Whether ons walks, gardens. at
tends q gymnasium, or plays golf,
the exercise should be free from the
spirit of d%rudgery, and filled with
the zest of enjoyment. A mans ex-
ercise should. If possible. be his
hobby.
All games are good, though some
are much better than others. But
the opportunity for games IL small
when the large number of adult city
jewellers is considered.
But after all, there is only one
form of exercise that is available
and suitable for all ages and condi-
tons and in all seasons-walking.
It is the best all-around exercise,
and is the surest method of securing
daily exercise.

CONFESSIONS Or A
HUSBAND!
The Mans Side OF Married Life
Bobbie Recognizes a Friend

Bobbie continued to make good
progress and to grow stronger every
day. Now it was difficult to per-
suade him to stay in bed.
We continually had to invent fresh
excuses and new games to keep him
occupied until DR.. Harris told us it
would be safe to let him get up
again.
Dot would have found it impossi-
BILE to get along during these days
IL it had not been for her friends.
They had come loyalty to her aid
and helped with the care of Bobbie
while she attended to the marketing
and to her other household duties.
Only n friend remained away
from u apartment. I wondered
why Edith had not called. l asked
myself whether it was because she
felt that Boobies illness was In some
way her fault.
She and l had been sc busy talk
ing that day in the park that 1 had
forgotten to protect him from the
late afternoon chill.
But when Sunday came we had no
sooner finished breakfast than the
doorbell rang-and it proved to be
Edith. George was still asleep, she
told us, but she had called to find
out how dear little Bobbie" was
getting along.
minutes and then we went into Bob
bie's room.
When the little chap caught sight
OF Edith he behaved as though he
had Eve seen a caller before. He
scrambled to his feet in an instant
and, leaning ove the side of his
crib, stretched out his hands to her.
"La-dee, la-dee!" he kept repeat
ing.
Anyone would think he remem-
bered you," laughed Dot, but you
haven't seen him for over a month"
1 thought it would be an embar-
RAISING moment. but I had not
counted upon Edith.
Perhaps I have been flirting with
him on the sly" she said.
II do believe you have" said Dot.
Now / realize what a tremendous
influence you WELD over men folk"
"La-dee, la-dee!" insisted Bobbie.
There was nothing for Edith to do
but to take him into her lap. For
n who was not accustomed to
children she handled him very well.
I could not help thinking what a
shame 1t was that she had none of
her own; perhaps a baby would have
made her more satisfied with her
homo and less interested in other
men. Perhaps . . . . but I was past
blaming Edith for what might have
happened.
l knew / vas as much responsible
as she for the foolish affair that had
arisen and the stupid network of
lies and deceit from which l had not
yet freed myself.
I made up my mind that as soon
as Bobbie was well l would tell Dot
the truth, the whole truth, and not
try to offer any excuse for my con-
duct. After all, I had done nothing
really wrong; the great harm was
In having concealed anything from
her.
Dot was glancing now from Bob
bic to me. Or was she looking at
Edith in whose arms Bobbie lay ?
Could she have suspected anything?

and Win was looking forward to 1t

The contest for the silverware and
