There are business offices in which a girl has literally to do her work with one hand and fight with the other for her honour.

And there are many and many office philanderers who never mean to give their wives cause for divorce or provoke an open scandal, yet who enjoy the thrill of a secret love affair and whose vanity is flattered by proving they are still devils among the women, who do not scruple to pick out the prettiest and most attractive girl in their office staff and proceed to make ber fall in love with them.

That is the girl's side of the question. The wife's is that she is FOR EVERY FOOT WE HAVE THE SUITABLE SHOES: brought into unfair competition with girls who are younger and prettier than she is, and whose business is to yes yes her husband.

The wives say that no woman who has been up half the night walking a crying baby can look as spick and span and be as rouged and lipsticked and waved as is the girl who has had a good night's sleep and who has not a thing on her mind but her "dates."

They say also that a wife cannot always be complacent and agree with everything her husband says, because her own future and that of

In the British Museum is the lid of a mummy-case which once housed the body of a high-priestess of Amen-Rn. The face in the painting on the lid looks young, beautiful and evil even now. The man who discovered it blew off his right arm next day when his gun accidentally exploded. His partner in the exca-. vation committed suicide within 1 week.

Two members of the working party who had discovered the coffin committed suicide within the next month.

Th lid came into the possession of a rich London woman, who immed. iately lost, all her money in a Stock Exchange gamble,

In her poor little room in Kenn- ington she had the lid photograph. ed, meaning to send the picture to the British Museum to see if they would buy the lid. But the picture came out sneering, horrible and lifelike, and so scared the owner that she packed off the lid to the Museum as a gift, despite her po verty. The carrier who carted is to Bloomsbury died next day.

Coincidencea? Possibly, or can it be that the old gods are still power- ful enough to show batred towards those who have forgotten them?
