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 hot weather as is Baby's Own Tab- said—"Are you married?" They each lets.

"Sea butterflies are without eyes, like some species of fish, and, unlike the butterflies. of the land, they are rarer in sunny than cloudy weather. In midsummer, indeed, they leave the surface and descend into the deep, many fathoms down." 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- self spent much of his time in fish- ing for mountain cut-throat and devil. trout, but the largest fish of the sea- son was caught by Miss Yorke, lady in waiting to the Duchess of Con- naught, who landed a monster of no less than nine pounds. The sulphur' water swimming pool attached to the C.P.R. hotel was a source of great delight to the Royal party, and many amusing snapshots not for publica- tion, are being taken back to Eng- land.

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.

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.
