SURPRISED AT YHE NEWS OF THE NOMINATION. “| really was so surprised to read that the nomination had gone to Mr. MoCall ‘and that he had accepted it,” Mrs, Me- Call confided to me. “You see I know that he is so much Interested In the law, It's always been law, law, nothing Dut jaw with him, and I know he wanted to go on and take higher positions on the bench.

Rather she should sympathise with him «0 much that she should spare him all unneces- sary brooding and worry. he is with her she should do her best |to make him forget completely and en- rely all his problems and troubles, Then he will go back with fresh seal and energy to the work he has to do.” “I take it you're not a suffragette,” I observed. “Of course if any woman, young or old, {8 deprived of her home I think it very fine and splendid if she knows how to care of herself out tn th world.
