of femininity is still small in the

of feminine free-and- easydom. The

clever new phrases and it is by the
use of these private vul2arisms tbas

Modern improyemept..

In connection with the subject Of
modern improvements, there is no
more striking example of economy in
household work than has been made
possible by the invention of Bon Ami,
the finest cleaner made. 1t has been
the custom for the housewife for many
years to get sand or securing soap for
cleaning purposes and use it generally
in her work, because it removed dirt,
tarnish, CRIME or grease easier than
water would do it. At the same time
she has complained that the tinware
does not last as it used to; that the
oicloth manufacturers were using
poorer material than they did when she
was girl; that paint wore off faster
than formerly, but it has never occurred
to her that she is the one who is con-
tinualiy wearing these things out by
the use of coarse cleaner and hard
work. Is it any wonder then that Bon
Ami, tho Modern Cleaner, which will
not scratch or iniure any surface, is
meeting with increased popularity as
housewives become acquainted with the
fact that it absolutely will not wear
out any surface on which it is used
Here is an improvement in an article
of common, every. day use that saves
both money and hard work. How
many realize it?
