I would let her go on. It could not
have been vanity that influenced me?
She went on She was very expert IN
her work. In less than half an hour
she drew a small mirror from her bag
and held it before me. At first i
thought the glass was giving the re-
Election of some one else and moved
slightly that might see my own face.

In the silence which followed I, be-
gan to be alarmed. began to think
had been fool. I wondered IL the
dogs would know me. And yet sighed.

could recollect any thing had longed
to know how I should look If had a
good complexion. I laughed, Did I

It was true. I did not know myself.
inquired what happened to this kind
of a complexion if the owner. of it
MIXED a COW and did other unlady-
like ''chores." was assured that
nothing would have any effect upon
this skin or substitute for skin, it was
so elastic and beneficial.
'.And could get it off?" asked.
'Not for some days."
''Would towel and small rake
have any effect?" I next questioned.
My companion stared at me-she
snapped her bag shut. She said 1
could have three bottles for two
dollars and half, as DIR. Barlow was
DESTROYS of benefting the human race
rather than of making money. Istood
still looking at her. At this moment
heard Amabers voice in the hall. An
overpowering curiosity came to me.
I pushed forward and seized Amabel's
arm. gazed at her. Her face was
in it's natural state. She answered my
head. At last she said, mournfully, that
she never expected to live to see me
enameled.
whispered that it was beneficial to
the pores of the skin, and added,
feebly, ''also to the general health. ="
While was saying this Sister Emma
and her sister walked away.
Amabel took me into the kitchen,
where there was plenty of soap and
water. 1 was deadly afraid lest some
of the neighbors should come in before
I could run from the room. The
minister's wife was coming to take tea
with us in the afternoon, and there
was the horse waiting for us to go and
do our errands. It soon transpired
that though olive Oil, lavishly used,
would do very little for my enamel, it
would yet do more than any thing else.
At the end of an hour and half we
knew that we had done all we could;
Amabel said that should be obliged
TO have nervous attack and keep my
room for a week or so. told her that
l could have a nervous attack easier
than l could have any thing else.
While sat with my face swathed in
towels, Amabel suddenly thought of
the spoons in the cellar. She fastened
to get them and count them. They
were all there. AS she put the last
one in the holder the same thought
came to us both: the women had not
paid for their lodging. But Amabei
insisted that I, at least, was amply
paid.
True to her original theory, my
friend hurried up to the chamber late
~ occupied by Sister, Emma and her
sister to see if they had left a fuse that
should burningly linger until it even
