AD1voRoE-A Woman, Porterville, Cal. If
your husband left you and when you sent him
notice of intention to commence an action for
divorce, he in reply sent you what purports to
be a decree of divorce obtained in Kansas, if
the document does not bear the evidences of
authenticity you should, before entering the
matrtmo onial sta te again. make sure that it is
all right, because If you do. not you might lay
yourself liable TO prosecution for .bigamy.
You can ascertain if the document is all that
it purperts to be by writing to the County
Clerk of the county from which it purports to
come. Follow the advice of Davy Crockett,
"Be sure that you are right; then goeahead."

picked off witha sharp-edged hammer or some
similar tool, and then the shell must be
dipped in boiling diluted hydrochloric acid.
Valuable shells may have the face or pearly
portion covered with shellac varnish which
may be removed with alcohol after the acid

ton should be applied with brush. To color
shells a little deep lac lye is boiled and left
standing to settle, and 1t Is then dissolved in a
solution of tin chloride. The shells having
been. well cleaned are dipped in this until
they become the proper color.
