MARRIED LIFE

By MABEL HERBERT URNER. I T wan Thursday, the day Helen had asked Katberine Grant to dine with them. But, at noon, she call - ed up Baying she was quite ill and begged Helen to come to her. Even over the 'phone there were tears in her voice. "Bring the baby if you can't leave her, but come just come," was her pitiful appeal. Helen found her in a darkened room, her hair disheveled and her eyes red with weeping. "Oh, I'm so sorry, dear," and she kissed her. "I didn't know youd'd been ill." "Oh, if it was only that! One can stand being ill, but I can't bear this." "You mean it's about " "Oh, yes, it's about him it's always that." "Something has happened you have heard?" "No, I haven't heard for months, only at times it all comes over me worse than others, and last night 1 broke down. Look," motioning to her desk littered with note paper. "I wrote him about, twenty letters last night, and of course sent none of them. Hys terical, pitiful, pleading letters. In each one I tried to express more, to put all that I wanted to say in a few words only to tear them up. I'nder the eir-

"But why can't you? Might'nt it help? Perhaps bring about a reconciliation?" "Oh, no, I can't write him now not if 1 have any pride at all," she sobbed. "If there is ever a reconciliation, it must come from him." 1 "I wish you could tell me about it, dear. It might comfort you. You know you never really told nie; you've only touched on it now and then." "Not now some time I will tell you, ' but not now. Oh, it is all so hopeless, i If I could only stop caring but I can't and somehow I feel that I never can. ; He haunts me always. Oh if I could . only forget." She buried her face and 1 sobbed brokenly. :' "I wish I knew how to comfort you," ! said Helen hopelessly. ' "Just your being here comforts me ! some. I felt I ceuldn't be alone a mo-j ment longer.

Dogs

ished From Serviss Says House Pets Spread Tuberculosis Endanger Lives of Children. BY G. P. SERVISS. THERE are at least 12,000 tu- , berculosis dogs at large in ; Paris! Every one of those in- j fected, preadamite compan- j ions of man, fit only for the Stone Age j of human culture, is a possible source for the spread of the great white I plague among the children of the . French metropolis! ' This alarming statement is based ! upon a report Just made to the Na-i tional Academy of Medicine by Prolessor i aniot, oi tne veterinary scnooi . of Alfort. It is another convincing reason why dogs should be banished from all centers of human population. A tuberculosis dog may be as dangerous as a malaria -bearing mosquito, and even more so. The peril to children is es pecially great, according to Professor Cadiot. and Dr. Petit, because of their tendency to pet the infected animals, taking them in their arms, catching their breath, and even allowing them ' to lick their faces. I Tnt arn .-mmllv riarm, for thpv 1 too, are frequently infected with tuberculosis in its many concealed forms. These animals contract the disease. Professor Cadiot says, from human sources through the digestive tract. Dogs and cats devour all sorts of substances, and it has been observed that the pets of consumptive patients almost invariably are affected by tuberculosis. Dogs that haunt restaurants, cafes, saloons, drinking places and similar resorts seldom escape infection, and they they are ready to spread it to human beings with whom they come in contact. Paris contains the astonishing canine population of 200.000! From 6 to 9 per cent of these useless dogs carry the seeds of tuberculosis about with them wherever they go. This plague, the same authorities declare, is not confined to Paris, but is proportionately present in every city and town xvhere dogs abound. It is not possible to make a medical survey of all the canine population of a city, and thousands of dangerous cases may easily exist without detection. The only safety consists in abolishing these utterly useless animals from all cities. It is -well to reflect that this tendency of do? s to contract tuberculosis, aad then pass it on to human beings. Is not oonlned to any climate, but exists wherever dogs and men lire together. Canine tuberculosis is, withcut doubt, as common in America as In Jance. It Is a far greater danger

.this your health will break down. If j you think a reconciliation is hope-less then you must try to put him out of : your life." Though as she spoke Helen felt the weakness and futility of her words. THE ORDEAL AT THE 'PHONE. And Katherine did not even notice them. She had risen from the couch and was walking feverishly up and down the room. Suddenly she stopped before the 'phone. "Shall I call him up now while you are here?" her voice was tense, her ; eyes brilliant with excitement. Shall I?" Her hand was on the receiver, I "Oh, I don't know what, to say. If I knew I might advise you, but as it is I can't." "I will I will," excitedly. "Things can't be worse than they are." Her hand trembled as she tjok down the receiver. "Hello!" Helen was watching her, her heart beating in her throat. But Katherine ; threw up the receiver and tell sobbing j in a chair j "I can't 1 can't I'm afraid'" ! "Listen Katherine," Helen was determined now. "You are going to put on your things and come home with j me and stay all night. You are in no condition to be left alone." And in spite of all protests, Helen ; Helen got out a warm dressing gown which she had Katherine put on. Then she brought a cup ot tea am made her comfortable on a couch in the nursery. "If you could only sleep for a little while before your dinner Won't you try." And Katherine, who was worn out with her emotions and her sleepless night, did fall asleep When Warren came home she was still sleeping. Helen met him in the hall with whispered explanations, "Then don't wake her for dinner," he said. The rest will help her far more than anything else." So they closed the nursery door and were careful not to disturb her. As ; they were going in to dinner Helen i suddenly put her arm about Warren and asked impulsively: "Oh dear, you DO love me, don't you? We are happy and secure in our home, aren't we? "Why what's the matter? Has Katherine upset you, too?" "Oh, I don't know, but if anything He laughed indulgently. "What a foolish little woman you are. I'm not considering leaving you at least not yet. "Oh, don't joke about it, dear it's far too serious." "All right, Kitten, we won't." And stooping over, he kissed her with unusual tenderness. Be BanRichmond? than that of rabies, because a rabid dog can usually be recognized on sight, while one carrying the seeds of consumption can only be detected by j medical examination. You would not think of giving to j your children, tor a pet, an animal ' capable of envenoming them with its! bite how much less should you be 1 willing to subject them to the infinite- J ly greater danger of an infection that) hides itself in apparently innocent : caresses. Every dog that runs at large is liable, from its habits, to contract j tuberculosis, no matter how carefully it may be guarded against ttie danger when it is under observation at home. This may be one of themysterious sources of the spread of tuberculosis in spite of all the efforts that have been made by medical societies and preventative association to stamp' it out. And, remember, that cats are equally dangerous. Neither a cat nor a dog is a fit companion for man in nls home, or in any of his great cen ter8 of population. That dogs are spe cially subject to infection is shown by j the fac. noted by Professor Cadiot. th&t tuberculosis disease is five hundred times more frequent among dogs than among horses. And cats are, apparently, not far behind dogs in their ; liability to such infection. This new and terrible indictment ; against the dog. added to the many J which already exist, should be suffi- ; cient to lead to its complete banish1 ment from all large cities and towns. , It is dangerous because of its frequent savage attacks upon children (some of the favorite pets of dog fanciers are i most vicious in their propensities1!, be- ! cause of its liability to rabies, the ! most awful infliction that an animal's bite is capable of imparting, because of its objectionable habits in the ; streets, and. most of all. perhaps, because now we know that it is an agent for the spread of tuberculosis. Let Constantinople enjoy alone the glory of being the metropolis of dogs! DO YOUR PART. Let us not deceive ourselves." While it may be true that is a general way truth and right will eventually triumph, it is also'true that they will never triumph in our individual lives without intelligent and persistent effort on our part. Life is a stem taskmaster. The world will never be all right with us until we make it so. M Franklin Ham.

Meaning and Expression. By ANNA HELD. H OW do you stand Madame or Mademoiselle? How do you enter a room? Probably you have never given much thought to the matter; and yet to be able to stand well, to move well, to enter or leave a room gracefully is the whole social stock in trade of women who get on astonishingly well in society. If vou tana wen. n it is a pleasure to see you move, these two graces will ! not only give you an air of breeding that, will help you win your way any- , where, but they will make you pic- ! turesque. attractive and a notable fig- ; ure wherever you go. This is quite true, as you must conj fess if you give the matter any thought i and yet how do you stand. Madame ! how does each woman of our day and generation stand, walk, move? You sit gracefully and easily, you j look very charming then you rise, j and sink your weight on one hip in a ' way that makes your figure a distorted caricature. I You walk and your stride is the ! most hideous motion womankind ever ! evolved. j A few years ago you did the golf- ' links stride, which was too Ions; for your anatomy and which showed with painful plainness how foolish you were - to try to imitate the motions of men. ; You put down your feet as if you were trying to imitate the old miracles whereby the saints left the imprint of ; their footsteps in solid rock. A PAINFUL SIGHT. And the standing position, the walk of today, is only less painful to des- ! cribe than to see. i Women follow the unpleasant outlines of the Botticelli figure chst : sunken, shoulders bent and back rounded: while the healthy upheld chesi ' and "straight front" have given w. : to the awkward outline of saggins: and unconflned abdomen. You do net like it. do you? You are not going to be a slave to an ugly fashion that must soon die. : and that will hurt your health as well as your natural beauty of figure? We must all grow older: and what is quaint at twenty will be ugly at forty.. To keep young, to keep the slender i outlines of girl'sh grace and. above ! all. to keep well and strong w ith I supreme charm of womanhood, you i must begin today. Mademoiselle, and , j learn to stand-
