in the house worry her, and she invite.
people who are strangers to you to pa!
visits at times that are most inconven
lent to her hostess. When you are go
ing to take her for an outing she is la t.
and appears overdressed. Then she
makes one of the girls of the family
unhappy by attempting to attract hel
sweetheart from her and prove how
! tickle he is. She is never satisfied, and
she is always telling you about the place
where she stayed last and how differ
emily everything was done. She is sur
prised that you have your dinner a,
the hour that you do, and doesn't hesi-

invites people to visit her whom you DO
not wish to know. and she places you ir
such uncomfortable positions in regard
to these people that you wish you had
never met her. She tells you that she
knows you wish her to feel as II she
were at home. and all you can do is to
smile very weakly. Nobody wants Wis

herself. still she has no right in the
household. only those privileges which
her hostess grants her, and these she
must respect
This is the girl you are not TO be like.

from the scientific and try the efficacy

ed of applications of soft paste made
of lard and flour. This was renewed
as fast as the -four became dried and
crumbly by the absorption of the fat.
Upon the first application there was
a decided sense of relief, which was in
creased by the free use of opiates. No
other remedy was used. and the burns.

flesh, healed without scar. In this
case an extremely serious state of things
ensued in the way of an obstinate
cough and the raising of quantity of
