A WOMAN'S SECRET.
Wife Masqueraded as a Husband for
Many Years.
An amazing story of a woman who
masqueraded as a man and was
found out by the Mill Hill Medical
Board was told at a North London
tribunal.
Her employer appealed for the
worker as his "foreman,"
The chairman, holding up a letter,
expressed surprise that the employer
urged that this "man" was indispens-
able to him in his work. Did he
know that "he" was a woman?
The employer smiled incredulously,
and suggested that the chairman had
made a mistake, for his foreman was
married, with two children.
The chairman read a certificate
from the Mill Hill Medical Board,
which stated that the person named
upon it was unfit for the army "by
reason of the fact that the doctors'
examination disclosed that the per-
son was a woman.
It transpired that the "man" had
been before the Advisory. Committee,
and on a certificate then produced
was sent to the Medical Board. On
the deceptionbeing discovered there
was something like consternation in
the barracks. It is understood that
the woman was passing as a lean to
hide from her husband.

GUARD BABY'S HEALTH
IN THE SUMMER
The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. The complaints
of that season, which are cholera in-
fantum, colic, diarrhoea and dysentry,
cone on so quickly that often a little
one is beyond aid before the mother
realizes he is ill. The mother must
be on her guard to prevent these
troubles, or if they do come on sud-
denly to cure them. No other medi-
cine is of such aid to mothers during were in a joking mood the shopman

DUKE AS AN INDIAN CHIEF.
Stony Indian Garb Suits, the Fine
Figure of His Royal Highness..
During the five • years of his Gov-
ernor -Generalship, nothing has given
His Royal Highness the Duke of Con-
naught, more pleasure than the cere-
mony which made him Chief of the
Stony Indians. This ceremony took
place at Banff, where the Duke and
Duchess, together with Princess Pat-
ricia, spent a delightful holiday this
Summer.
The Stony Indians, who were once
a distinctly warlike tribe, and some
of whose exploits. form the back-
ground to Ralph Connor's "Sun Dance
Patrol," are now good citizens and
hold Annual Sports Day at the great
tourist resort in July. The picturesque
garb of a Stony Indian Chief admir-
ably suits the fine figure and strong
profile of the Duke.
Princess Patricia found particular
pleasure this Summer in riding her
Mounted Police pony "Dandy" along
the mountain trails which radiate
from Banff through the passes and
over the precipitous sides of the sur-
rounding mountains, The Duke him-

WAR'S TRAGEDIES.
Frenchmen Reported Dead Return to
Find Their Wives Remarried.
There is a notable multiplication of
domestic dramas of the type familiar
through Tennyson's "Enoch Arden"
and Balzac's "Colonel Chabert," who,
lost on a Napoleonic battlefield, re-
turned home to find his wife remar-
ried to a nobleman of the Restoration,
writes a Paris correspondent.
Thus, a Madame D— of Arras
was informed at the beginning of the
war that her husband had ..been kill
ed:' -rte ioVing`" to Paris she waited
some months, and then married her
brother-in-law. The first husband is
now on his way back from Germany,
where he was a prisoner.
Charles le Goffie cites other cases
in La Liberte. He says: "In a small
commune near the Channel two sol-
diers' wives remarried in this way.
The death of their first husbands was
registered, and all the papers were in
order. But these husbands reappear-
ed one fine morning, both of them
with amputated limbs."
"More curious is the tale of the
Breton soldier, whose arm, cut off
by a shell, was found on the battle-
field, while the rest of him had dis-
appeared. As the arm carried the
identification plate its owner was re-
ported dead. The wife received a
certificate to this effect, and was per-
mitted to remarry. The first husband,
however, proves to be alive, and in-
clined to insist on his rights."
The most unfortunate of these tra-
gic misadventures was found in Swit-
zerland recently in one of the parties
of seriously wounded soldiers return-
ed from Germany. -A French visitor
stopped before,,a man whose face was
so disfigured as to seem no longer hu-
man. He asked if he could do anything
for the sufferer, if he could seek his
family and tell them.
"Useless," was the reply. "He is
dead."
The soldier had risen to the heroic
delicacy of deciding that, rather than
horrify those he loved, he would leave
them to believe him dead.
There is a ray of light in this case,
for the surgeons hold out hope of a
great improvement, and if this is ac-
complished their patient will give up
his name and come to life again. "But

A Deserted Village.
The first time you see a destroyed
and deserted village you have strange
feeling, especially when you know
that the smashing process may be
resumed any minute, says a writer in
Cartoons Magazine. Can you imagine'
a village which has no inhabitants—
houses with only • parts of walls
standing, perambulators, chairs, bed-
steads and pictures heaped up in
confusion, churches destroyed as if
stepped on by a giant, tombs a
tumbled -up heap in the churchyards,
no children at play, no shops, no
sounds except the echo of your foot-
steps and the roar of distant guns?
You'll find them in the war zone.
Really Careful.
Natalie, aged five years, for the
first time planted some pansy seeds
in, small boxes. One evening she
rushed to water them, and, on her re-
liurn her mother: "You know, after
a rain, you don't have to water them"
Natalie's reply was startling: "Oh, I
take them in when it rains!"

been able to communicate with their

ten months of widowhood before re-
marriage. The question is being ask-
ed whether this delay should not be
extended, and Henri Robert, the
eminent pleader, is one of those whe
think that soldiers' wives should not
remarry before the end of the war.
