kThe "never -mind -the -trouble" things,
The "laugh -with -me -it's -funny" things
That makesour path.ay light,
For all the countless famous things,
The wondrous record-breaking things
'Those "never -can -be -equalled" things
That all the papers cite,
Are not like little huinan ,things,
The "every -day -encountered" things
'dlhe "just -+because -I -like -you" things
What make us happy quite,
So here's to all the little things,
The "done -and -then -forgotten" things
Those "oh-it's-simply-nothixlg" things
That make life worth the light.
Much criticism has been heard
about the action of a Hamilton mag-
istrate in sending to prison a woman
Irtilf an hour or so before she• gave
birth to twins, one of which died.
Such a thing could .only happen in a
city, it could not happen in a tom-
'utunity where magistrate and people
are known to each other. But in "a
city court, where people, men 'and
women, are being tried every day and
a•person coming up for trial is on-
ly'a "ease," one can imagine how it
Might, especially if the magistrate
-happened to be the sort who just
( 'handled" his cases each day, with-
( . qut taking any interest in them as
human•beings. The editor of a daily c
paper thinks this is not an argument
for women magistrates but I ani not d
so sure. No woman magistrate would
. have allowed such a thing to happen.
•
A woman is a woman first and she
' would have seen that her sister wo-
man, even she had broken a law of
the Iand, was in need of sympathy
mid kindlyindly medical and nursing care.
') and she would have seen that she got
both, in spite of the dignity of court
ca. anything else.' She would have sent
the woman to her, home or a hospital
allowing ler out on suspended sen -
l tense, in the hope of having her mend
her ways. Oh yes, I think a woman
would have handled this case better.
' In fact I believe a woman magistrate
l, would do better always in a woman's
court, A wthnun is a better judge

est form of flattery, if so, it would
seem ithat women are beginning to
think that they have flattered men
quite long enough by: aping their
dress and manners and the trend is
now toward snore feminine apparel
and, we trust, more feminine manners
and habits.
"Ha, ha!" some scoffs at me
"I always' thought you were in favor'
of women's freedom, etc., now you're
going back on yourself, Not at AR.I am in favor of women's freedom to
think, to work and,•to live their' own
lives, to `take, a part in the manage -
trent of the world in which, they mustlive. and bear a 'share of the conse-
quences of any mismanagement; iii

;Butt have never been in favour of
women trying to ape men, in dress
or habits, A woman dressed: in
knickers and coat, unless she : hap-
pens to be in' a saddle, or mountain
climbing or hiking through rough
country, is not .a pretty sight'and,
this is one of the things which girls'
should note, they are riot nearly so
much admired by men as when wear-
ing smart, feminine attire. Young
men may play about a•bit with man-
nish, slangy, cigarette -smoking girls,
but 'they usually marry another and
more feminine 'sort. No man wishes
to marry another man, why should
he wish tp marry a girl who has made
herself as much like' him as she pos-
sibly can? `The girl whose langu-
age would befter befit a rough boy,
no matter how pretty, Noses charm
in the eyes of a man: Most men can
use all the slang necessary them-
selves and while a little slang word
on the lips of a pretty girl may sound
ute occasionally, the habitual use of
slang, bordering on the profane, is
istasteful to most men, young or
old, and to all refined women.
oId, and to all refined women. The
•
effeminate young man seldom
makes a hit with girls and the rule
usually works both ways.
Most men hear enough slang, see
enough cigarette smoking and plenty
of trousers as they associate with
men, they look for something else
when they seek the company sof wo-
men, so it is not surprising if women,
noting all that and its natural reac-
tion, should decide that the game
wasn't worth the candle and come
back to their own more becoming
dress, their own more refined man-
ners. I'm all for ready frankness and
naturalness on the part of girls but
be natural a girl does not need to
orifice her womanly ways. A ,ro-
an can be and should be just as
uch of a woman in a business of-
ce as in a drawing -room. She need
of drop her handkerchiefs all over

Hodgins, 151 Avon street, died in the
Isolation Hospital here late this af-
ternoon from what physieans believe
may beta form of streptococcus pois-
oning,'the dread disease which elainr
ed thelives of four persons in Ekfrid
Township recently. The deceased wo-
man, who was in her early thirties,
was taken ill last Tuesday with a
high ;fever. Her condition • became
worse later in the week when she de-
veloped a rash over practically her
entire'body. On. Sunday she was talc -
en to the .Isolation Hospital, but fail-
ed to 'rally, and•died late this after-
noon.
Everything .possible was done for
the stricken woman. Serum was
administered in the hope of offsetting
the disease. Dr, George Young' of
Toronto, internal specialist, and Dr.
G..C..Hale, professor of medicine, and
Dr. F. W. Luney, blood specialist,.
both of London, were called into con-
sultation by. Dr. D. Smith, attending
physician, but to no avail. The con-
dition of the patient appeared to be
general from the first, and the first
symptom was the high fever.

We Invite You to Discover Plymnoultth Superiorities Behind. the Wheel
TARTING TODAY, and last-
ing two weeks, we are holding
a "Learn -the -Difference" Fort-
night for the full-size Plymouth.
We want you to drive a Plymouth
and learn the difference between
Plymouth performance and any
other in the Plymouth price field.
For there is a difference—an over-
' whelming difference in the things
Plymouth does and how i t does them.
Seri FeelaridErperi-
e.oce the Diflei ence
There is only one sure way in which
you will know how decisive this
difference actually is: That is to see,
and feel and experience—to ride in
and actuatlyr,drayy the Plymouth.

We invite .you to discover for,
yourself •'he full-size of the
Plymouth which seats five adults
in comfort—to note its easy -riding
lengthiness—to see bow sharply it
contrasts with the small dimensions
usually associated with cars at any-
where near its low price.
Fifteen minutes at the Plymouth
wheel will convincingly reveal how
wide a margin separates the Ply-
mouth from all other cars that attempt
to compete with it in its price -group.
Do Not Miss This Great
Opportunity, •
Take advantage of, Plymouth
"Learn -the -Difference" Fort-
night at once. See the unmatched
features—experience the unprece-
dented performance.
We are eager and anxious to have
you put every Plymouth claim to
the test, to learn for yourself what
a vast difference there actually is,
in performance, appearance and
value, between Plymouth and other
cars in its price -class.
Once you drive a Plymouth and
learn the difference, you will
never be content with any other
car. Your judgment will insist that-
you own a Plymouth,
NO
OBLIGATION
We are eager to have. you
realize the many outstand-
ing. advantages of the Ply-
mouth. Come and drive the
car— see for yourself how
and why it excels. There
is not the least obliga-
tion. Come in touayf r
