An eminent physician, lecturing .a group of medical students, was taking them round the hospital ward togive them practical demonstrations of his remarks.

When I last saw my friend Rt:aerbs he was looking as depressed ea it is passible for a happily married man to look. Naturally I -asked him whether his wife bad eloped, or his kg died, or whether a doctor had told h'm'that lie had enly three days to live, And even that question failed to brim; a aniii!e, "You can afford: to ''laugh," be said, ""You're not marriesd, and you don't know what it is to have a wife who thinks so much of you that she must tell everybody how clever you are, and what ai^orad+rrful things you are going to do," true, I'm not married," I re- plied, "But it seems to me that I should be very proud if I had a wife who thought so much of me. Heaven knows, nobody eine has each a good opinion of ire! If a women thinks her man es going to be so successful, sure- ly that would be just the thing to make hien determined to succeed?" "It wouldn't be $o bad if she only did that," be said gloomily. "The trouble its that she tells everybody about it, and in clever to show what great things I aani wing to do, she c can't resist telling my plans to her °. ftcnds, who- tell their husbands, asudl the husbands steal my ideas," This, of course, was a different mat- ter. It appeared fleet Roberts had thought out a little scheme in conneee. tion with his business, by which he; expected to increase Ilia ineonie by at;1 least the amount of his income -mai Re had described this plan to his, wife, who thought it a splendid one.1 She tald him she was quite Proud of. hire. And she was. So much so t she afterwards mentioned his plan iii confidence to two woman friends oho; carne to tea the next day, She meant:, no hares; she only wanted to show her; friends what an ingenious husband! she had, and what promise he showed of beeoniing a big man later on. But she did incalculable harm; she spoiled his scheme. The other women told their husbands, and the husbands, seeing the value of the idea, took int up and so spoiled it for Roberts. There are ninny wiles of this type, who all unknowingly injure their hus- bands' plans by Hinting at them pride- fully to their friends. Only a short time ago I bada an instance. A wom an of my acquaintance, whose husband recites popular navels, mentioned to a !Heed that he had thought out a won-' derfully origena1 idea. for 4 story. The result was that the idea became corn-. mon property and wade used by nn -1 ether writer, whose book appeared a month before the book of the mani who thought of the idea. The advertising wife has existed all., down the ages, and rhe has been rest. ponsible for many a man's failure to' succeed in life. Often a man and wife' will live together for years without the former discovering the real cause of his failure The failure of a certain famous statesman, still living; although in re-' tirement, iia attributed toe the undue,' unrestrained pride of his wife, who to this day does not realize that she was; the cause sof his non-success. She felt' she must advertise leer husband's bril-I Bance, and to do this she all umwit- tingly gave away his secrets. Next time you see an advertising wife, notice her husband's attitude to: her. Usually, if the husband be aj shrewd man, he never, you will find, tells his wife his ideas. And then, the wife is unhappy because the man' of whore :the is so proud never con--, fides in her! If the advertising wife would only analyze her feelings, she would real- ize that her friends will never keep secret the hints she gives them of her husband's cleverness. Why? Be- cause in telling these thing .to her friends she is making a little personal conquest over those friends. - Although see does not realize it,. sine is saying, in effect: "My husband. is a wonderful man, and I'm going -to let you see it. He is much cleverer than your busbend, because yours never does or thinks such fithinais." And naturally the ,friends resent this. They feel that the wife is crowing, over them, trying to make their own husbands Took smell; and naturally Compo. ng s(ua-w,5 and netpooeeds at,the ' celebrations 'When en rnorial was opened. at Windermere British ;Columbia. the David `Thompson tee. they 'repeat all to their own hien, us -te- eny belittling the clever husband's schemes and ideas. Perhaps, quite unconscicusly they think the information will urge 'their own Imebered'r on to shine also, so that they themcalvee will have something to crow about the next time they meet the advertising wife. The only advice one can give to sudi wives is .keep quiet till he has suc- ceeded, than advertise bine to the skies. He -will like it then when there is no haunting fear cf subsequent failure;; but before he has anything is elem. he will hate it. I> the Can Bulges, Throw Contents Away.

Khat ]rind of music should a child.. bear first? This question has been instinctively allaW*red by mothere. through countless ages—the lullaby, And yet, with modern methods of child upbringing the lullaby has grown almost obsolete. What a treaenre is to bo found in the lullabies of the, world! dt 1\Tesxly all of the great mas- ters have lavished some of their mosti inspired writing on this very tender art „of expression. To name only a few there are "Cradle •Song"., (Brahms), "Silent .Night" (Gruber), "Hush, My Baby" (Rousseau), "Lull -i• aby" (Mozart), "Sweet and Law", (Barriaby,) "'Little Sandman", (Brahma). These and scores of others may be lead to-dn bre t.bo phonographs records au➢apted to young ears and sung by the great artists. No home; should be without a number of there fascinating children's melodies. Reith regard to' the appeal of music through motion, the 'peeper age to, begin ehythmio -.expression of music is about as soon as the child tan make free use of his bodily movements, anywhere from three to eight years of age. While best results are ob- tained by expert director during this stage, yet parents can aecomtplish much by way of intelligent guidance. Many th3ldren's records for march ing, dancing, skipping, jumping, etc., will be found highly useful for rhy- thmic 'and games. One of the most enjoyable of these farms is that of bouncing a rubber ball to music. The children take huge delight in this little game; and it can be played by one, two, or a. number of persons, Records are also available for this kind of work. _, Gingered Pears.
