That he felt there was nothing to plan, no reason to be solicktous of her because he was perfectly able to take care of herself, she would have resented, Yer that was exactly Brian's attitude. Brian Haekett figured that he had married a woman who preferred busi- ness to domesticity, and, such being the case, sile was capable of looking out for herded without any help from him. That just because she was a woman, Ruth wanted to feel that he! was anxious over her, would not have occurred to him, He never thought of her as really feminine and helpless. Tt was always as needing nothing he could give her, This, in a way, tinged his manner to her, and as the time had passed, "it had become a habit to think of her as a business woman more frequent ly than as a wile, Brian was the sort of a man who should have married a clinging, do- mestic wotsan, He would have petted the afraid-of-a-mouse kind; have hur- ried home to protect the timid kind, afraid to stay alone. He would have Joyed in a woman who would let him bring a troop of -his Bohemian aec- quaintancés home with him, and he would have delighted in an impromp- tu supper in the kitchen, all taking part in preparing--perhaps in fur- nishing it. » There was nothing exciting in his well-ordéred home.

It may have been, proba- bly was, a sign of weakness in his clraracter, that he would not work for his own sake, his own advance: ment; as well as for needed money. But dn this Brian was not unlike many others. Take away the incen- five, and a man deterforates. So Brian had deteriorated. He had grown more careless in his habits, He had gone back to those he in- dulged in before he knew dainty Ruth. He bad alco grown thoughtless of his speech and manners. Often- times Ruth had sighed, and won- dered what had come over Brian. Never thinking for a moment that she was in'\any way to blame for the change. wr : Yet Ruth, as though some un- quiet instinct warned her, watched and wondered at the chinge, but nev- er apoke of it. She was a bit too frightened of it to want to talk, She thought Brian surely wrong in his feeling that we would soon be at war, Of course she was as good an American as he, and would not dream of making a slacker of him.

(By Rev. Frederick B. Hodgins, B.A. formerly of Toronto, - in New York Herald.) What has Britain done? Kept the faith and fought the fight For the everlasting right: Chivalrously couched her lance In defence of Belgium, France. This has Britain done! What bas Britain done? Given every seventh son, Met the challenge of the Hun; Placed her men on every field: Proud to 'dle, too proud fo yield, This has Britafn done! What has Britain done? Answers every far-flung breeze Blown across the Seven Seas; "Watch and ward secure we keep Vigilance that never sleeps." This has Britain done! What has Britain done? On every front her flag unfurled, Fought the world-war round the world; Then, when all is said and done. Ask her Allies, ask the Hun, "What has Britain done?" What has Britain done? For her slain Britannia Weeps-- She might boast who silence keeps. But when all is done and said, Call the roll and count her dead, And know what she has done. Caddy girls at the York (Me.)
