MY HUSBAND'SLOVE
 Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE


| had just rounded the turn in the road, with it's accompanying land marks, which Lillian had said was about a mile from our destination. and l promptly had seized the op- portunity to divert the small boys attention. The rusc was highly suc- cessful, for as we drove slowly down q beautiful road bordered by old fashioned houses with ample grounds the children gabbled and squabbled happily in their attempt to select the house to which we were going.
 Hedges of priyet, of lilac and of box. screened some of the grounds. but through most of them we were able to see the waters of the bay sparkling a little distance to the rear. But a few of the homes were built upon gentle unduIations of higher ground which effectively screened the low land back of them and the distant water. Of these the largest but the shabbest of all the houses we had passed, answered to the de- scription Lillian had given me and it was with a feeling that we had reached haven at last that I drew up before the gates, which appeared as openings in the thick lilac hedge. and turned to my brother-in-law with nervous catch in my voice.
 ''I think this is the place." I said. preparing to climb down out of the car At any rate. I'm going in to see if I am right before driving in"

 "Js that your affair, ma'am?"
 "I thought you was above purse cutting" she said, nightly disdain- 1 full. 'But it seems was as deceived ] in you there as in other ways"
 That, as you realize, was but the beginning of scene which I have TO mind to give you all the details. ! Her voice shrilled up like an oyster woman's. drawing the attention of the few who occupied the common room, and fetching Tim the drawer in alarm to the door of the little rarlor.
 And for all his anger, Colonel Holes began to be vaguely alarmed, for his conscience. as you know, was not altogether easy, and appearances might easily be construed against him.

Roderick Upset the Travellers By
 His Remarks

I need not have feared for my sis. ter-in-law's action when confronted with the necessity for quieting the screaming small boy Roderick. who was wildly vocitciating his objections 10 the mental picture which plainly had formed in his mind at my jest concerning the chicken coop over which the older children were still chuckling. Her common sense i'm medistely triumphed over her desire 10 enforce obedience from the scream ing child, whose yells arose, partly at least. from sheer naughtiness and she took the shortest cut to pacifying him.
 Listen" she said, as frantically as sny harried young mother might have done. You shall have your milk and esg as soon as we get to she house, and you are not going into a chicken coop, but into a nice big house"
 Wifi lots of stairs?" Roderick in auired hopefully turning off his shrieks, as one might shut off a fauc5t.
 "Yes, think there are lots of stairs" his aunt replied.
 Roderiek considered the fascinat- ing possibilities Of this answer for few seconds, then palpably urged on by his victory, piped cherubi- cally:
 Then can slide down 'em. Hot dog !''

 Better guarantee unlimited de- mands," he murmured with the time honored parental subterfuge of words beyond q chid's understanding, while oven though the stress of the mos ment I smiled at the way my famous hrother-in-law and his stately wife were being fitted to tho shackles of parenthood. "Tho discipline so sore ly needed can be enforced in seclusion Hater."
 Have no anxiety upon the score of later enforcement" his wife re- torted grimly in matching murmur, and then she gave a guileful reply to Roderick who was questioning inss- tently.

(By Dr. c. c. Robinson) SLEEPING FOR HEALTH

Many minor cases of illness arc clearly the result of lack of sleep. The doctors bill may be materially re. duced and your conservation of work ing power greatly enhanced by regular and sufficient sleep.
 This means that if you neglect 10 sleep the proper number of hours, seven at least and nine as n maximum for adults, you are cdging towards q breakdown. Teep when you sleep so that when you wake up you will stay awake.
 The health of children is determin- cd by their sleep more markedly than by any single factor. Often the eH- cessive output of nervous energy by small children from to years or age, either in its dynamic or emotional form, is so weakening that only deep natural sleep will bring back to the tired body the normal mental and physical poise.

 Babies can proiitably use from ih to IS hours out of the .i. This slecp- ing period of babies gradually grows less until the third year. Al this time about l2 hours should be the maximum.
 At years Of age the child is usu- ally left to his own normal intincts and uses about 10 hours.
 Deep, profound. healthful sleep is best carried out in q darkened room. It has been proved by careful ex- periments that if ray Of light falls
