He is not taken up now with "the petty poncerns and irritating du- ties" that beset the paths of those who must go to their daily af- fairs. For the Shut-in horizons lift. And secure in the obvious affection of family and loved ones. which too often must be taken for. granted by well folks, they radiate that inner happiness that belongs not to the mundane things but as we have grown to term them - "the better things of life." None of the turmoil of living comes near the sick-room. None of the lconsuming monsters of hate and envy and greed. and lust for power and deceit and false- hood and all that dark ilk that are perpetually along the well folks' road of life. 0 O D So as a minister of a western church has it: "Let us be under no misapprehension - while shut-ins are greatly helped by our solici- tude, they also have much to give. Few would choose the sickroom or wheel-chair as a place from which to enrich the lives of oth- ers. Yet many so confined ac- complish exactly that. Visitors see before their eyes what cour- age and faith can do: in the pre- sence of afflictions bravely borne they feel themselves silently re- buked for their own grumbling over trifles: they find themselves greatly exalted before the great- ness of the human spirit." I O D And from the invalid's point of Semions Close Final Meetings Of 50th Annual MID. 5D1'a.gse's report concerned itself chiefly with the work gg- Gombliahed by members of the I. O.

The national vs ' V. um-gupy repeated Mrs. McCurdy'a (nation- al preaident) report, that New- foundland had established a chap- ter. She paid tribute to the provin- cial secretari and annoimced with regret the retirement from office of Mrs. R. J. sprott of Van- couver, and Mrs. R. E. Smals of Regina, provincial secretaries of British Columbia and Saskatche- wan, respectively. Mrs. Bates said the I. O.

She said the situation was hard- ly conducive to an atmosphere in which a healthy patriotism could thrive. For the last 30 years, she said, the Canadian government has "re- sisted" any movement for closer co-ordination of the parts of the Commonwealth and lllmpire. Whereas promotion of a Cana- dian national unity would seem the responsibility of the educators, Mrs. Detwiler said that judging from books used in the schools, Canadian educationlsta had "stu- diously avoided" giving children an opportunity to form attach- ment for either Canada or Empire. So far. instead of building a national allegiance, Canadians only had succeeded in building up provincial allegiances. The educational secretary ported that during the year I. O. D. E. spent 8133.005 on nation-wide education projects. Of this total 333.481 went to- ward gifts of libraries, pictures, calendars and other supplies to schools. Prizes and scholarships to students totalled 370.058. in- cluding 322,102 for no scholarships and 031,495 for 2'15 bursaries, 118 of which went to the children of war veterans. r Mrs. Detwller reported fewer I. 0. D. E. libraries were placed in schools last year than in the pre- vlous year. However, the financial outlay was greater. A total of sa,l.so was spent on the 34.9 libraries which were pre- sented.

' "So, if the matter were left to men. there would not be many bro- ken homes. Having made their matrimonial bargains. they would stick to them. Marriage might not be all they expected of it: well. neither did that last batch of stock they bought go up the way they thought It would. Susie hasn't turned out to be the pin-feathered angel she look- ed to be during the days of courtship. Well. that's life. The show is never as good as the posters. Besides. every one has faults and we have to learn not to let other people's peculiarities get on our nerves. "But women are not so philosophical in dealing with their hus- bands. They make mountains out of every molehlll in marriage. They magnify every fault of their husbands and let their every peculiarity eatrange them. They seem incapable of striking a balance and saying to themselves that while John isn't the hero of their girlish dreams. he is a mighty good provider. and that a wife can afford to overlook many minor defects in a husband who lays it with charge accounts at the best shops. ' JIIALOIJIY IIINOB TRAGEDY "And it is women who break up the homes when their liuaban I do a little philanderlng. which generally is the last thing in the wor d the men intended to happen. Of course. you can't blame the wife for being jealous and feeling outraged and diaguated at seeing her hus- band making a fool of himalf running after some girl young enough to be his daughter. "But even so, it is she who turns a folly into a tragedy nine times out of ten. It is she who pulls down the house that would have anni- tarad her and her children In comfort to the end of her days by rush- ing to'tha divorce court. "Mighty few men want their flirtation: to end seriously. They don't want to be divorced from their wives they still love in spite of their own disloyalty. They don't want their homes broken up. They don't want to be separated from their children. All they want is a lime fling. They want to play hooky from domesticity just as they used to play hooky from school. Thay want a second bits of romanc-.-. so to speak. and to be flattered into thinking that they are still devils among the women. "And. if wives could only realize that and meet the situation with a little patience and understanding and a lame of humor. their wan- dering boya would come back to them to be spanked and kissed and forgiven. And thousands of wives would live comfortably -in luxurious hornea instead of starving on a little alimony. and millions of children would be saved from the blight of divided homes and being half-orphaned.

Gloria drew a long breath and glanced away. "No," she said flatly, "we can't be friends. You know that." "Why on earth not?' "Do I have to tell you?" She blazed out at him deiinantly. "I happen to be your aunt's secretary and I need a Job. Have you any idea how long I'd last here if I started playing around with you- or even went out -with you once or twice?

He looked serious, almost embar- rassed-and rather nice. It was sweet of him in a way. and com- pletely insane.

"Do you mind telling me-Just by WHY of giving the knife a nice twist- how you're so certain I'd never make the grade with you? Not that. I rate my charms so high. but-I just wondered."
