when Love Eas Gone.

The wife whose husband has grown
weary of her has a difficult problem,
says Dorothy Dix, in the Philadelphia
Bulletin. She can not ruthlessly cut
the marriage tie and give the man
his liberty. Still, her best policy also
is 70 let her husband have a free rein
and a long rein. Nothing is to be
gained by tears and reproaches, and
always throwing up to the recreant
spouse his sacred duty.
Doubtless it is our duty to love the
one to whom we are married and whom
we swore so glibly at the altar always
to love and cherish, but love is not
matter of duty or volition, or even or
determination. Love is slain of
thousand things beyond our control-by
growth, for one thing; by a man de-
veloping away from his wife; by en-
forced absence; by simple boredom; by
things that the man cannot help In
his taste and feelings, and that the
woman cannot remedy in herself.
1t is one of the terrible experiences
of life when two people find them
selves involved in a marriage that Is
nothing but bondage on the mans side,
while the woman still loves, but there
is no overt act that she can perform
that will bring back the love that is
dead She can only wait, and so
strange is the curious bond of we'd
lock. so mystic is the tie, that the very
letters ut which the man frets are
still powerful enough to draw him back
almost in spite of himself. The very
fact that woman is his wife, whether
he loves her or not, gives her pres
tige in his eyes, a certain power and
influence over him that no other wo-
man possesses.
SO the woman who has the patience
to simply wait for her own to return
to her nearly always gets it back in
the end And sometimes it is worth
waiting and praying for, and sometimes
not. But all that she can do is just to
wait.

n.,ore and After Marriage

A young man and woman who were
betrothed were making their way up
stairs in an apartment house, accord
ing to a story Colonel Louis T.. Pitts
of Missouri, is fond of telling. On
reaching the first floor the ankle of the
Young woman turned and she sort OF
stumbled.
BE careful, sweetheart, be careful,
quickly cried her companion, apprehen
sively.
Somehow. after climbing another
flight, the girl once again accidentally
tripped.
You didn't hurt yourself, did you
dearie?' asked her escort, a touch OF
nervousness In his voice.
Strange as it may seem, on arriving
at the floor above the young woman's
ankle proved treacherous, or her heel
must have caught something or other
for she again tripped.
"AIyI 90 must look out, darling OF
my little baby girl will hurt herself,
cooed the young fellow lovingly, q
shade Of fear in his kindly warning
as he quickly slipped his arm protect

They were married. And some
months afterward, as the young cou.

Probably few are aware of the fact,
but a direct descendant of q signer OF
the declaration of independence and a
man who crossed to the new world in
the Maydower is living in Denver. She
is Lula Electa Bartlgst, great grand
daughter of Josiah b rtlett, who sign
ed the declaration # independence.
Her great great great grandfather was
one of the men who faced privation
and hunger to cross the water in the
Mayfower.
Elisha Bartlett remained on the soil
later called Massachusetts,. 1t is from
him that Miss Lula Electa is descend
ed.
Although the Bartletts who came be-
fore her ranked with the elite of so
ciety and aristocracy, she is happy and
content to earn her living working as
a seamstress.
Miss Bartlett spends her evenings
with many other lonely young women
in the Young Womens Friendly Cub

in the simplest manner.
The home OF the Bartlett family has
been broken up. The mother died when
they lived in Hastings, Neb.. and the
family scattered. The only son is in
Kansas City, one daughter Is in Los
Angeles with her father and the fourth

UNCoRRUPTED YET BY TIPS.

Norway and Sweden Have Not Been
Overrun with Foreign Visitors.
1t Is only in recent years that Amer
lean tourists have begun to enjoy the
charms of the Scandinavian countries,
which for generations have been the
playground where the British enjoyed
their holidays. Although the number
less streams of Norway are fairly
crowded with trout, a chance visitor
can scarcely find q place to throw a
line, as brooks, rivers and lakes are
leased by English sportsmen. These
Scandinavian peoples are salubrious
change from the rest of those of con-
tinental Europe, not yet corrupted,
perhaps, by an annual horde of sight
seers. At present railroad. boat, car
riage and hotel rates in Scandinavia
are fair, and American spendthrifts
have not yet raised the prices of ma
tive manufactures. Instances are ac-
tually known where a tip has been re-
fused.
Norway is in reality great volcanic
mountain range, and along its precipi-
tous sides, which border on the deep
and narrow fiords that form the only
communication with the outside world,
cling little patches of ground There
IS not enough soil to raise anything
out hay and potatoes and few garden
vegetables.
Three thousand years before the
Christian era, and probably centuries
earlier, a powerful race of people in
habited these Scandinavian countries.
The collections from the stone age in
the museums of Copenhagen and Stock
holm are the most complete in the
world. Those from the bronze age in
dictate a high degree o. culture nearly
1900 years before Christ.
These collections show also the I'M
mense wealth and the marvellous work
manship which existed mere thousand
years ago. The museums themselves
were founded and the magnificent cas-
ties and palaces, built long before
America was discovered, and libraries
were in existepce then, containing hun
dreds of thousands of rare books and
manuscripts. Fifteen years before Co

Value of Grooming.

Nothing so accentuates fading love
illness as carelessness of dress. 1t is
wonderful what little careful groom
ing will do for woman. Let her
touch her eyebrows with vaseline to
bring out the luster, let her battle her
lips with aromatic toilet water, dust
her wan cheeks with a bit of pink pow
der, have her hair dressed in girlish,
dainty way, and 10. there Is the light
of inspiration and sweetness that is
most delightful and bewitching. There
are good and bad cosmetics. sane and
insane ways of identifying. Choose
the right road, then go ahead, and you
will be amazed to find how you will
chop off year of your life every
twelve months. instead of hitching one

CHAPTER TX

The weather, which had been mild and
clear since the storm, now changed with
the suddenness of an American climate.
Toward evening the cold blasts poured
down from the mountains, and f1urries
of snow plainly indicated that the month
of November had arrived. Frances had
stood at the window of her own apart
ment. watching the slow progress of the
Birch funeral procession, with a medlan-
choly that was too deep to be excited by
the spectacle. There was something in
the sad Office that was in unison with
her feelings. A few of the southern
dragons, who were patrolling the passes
which led to the encampment of the
corps, could be distinguished at a dis
lance on the heights. bending to their
pommels as they faced the keen air.
Frances witnessed the disappearance
of the wooden tenement of the deceased.
as it was slowly lowered from the light OF
day and the sight added to the chilling
WEAKNESS of the view. Captain Single
ton was sleeping under the caro- of his
own man, while his sister had been per-
suaded to take possession of her own
room, for the purpose of obtaining the re-
pose Of which her last nights journeying
had robbed her. The apartment of Miss
Singleton communicated with the room

For the slender Woman,

The present style of dress often calls
for little manipula ion if the slender
woman is to appear to advantage.
Blouses that are lined can quite easily
and readily be made additionally be-
coming by the use of rufiles arranged
about the armholes. 1t is here that
the blouse is apt to sink and so lose
its perfect outline. If bias ruffies pink
ed at their edges are arranged over the
lining on the inside the difficulty will
be entirely overcome. These ruffles
would preferably be made of taffeta.
but if mercerized lining is used it can
be substituted with fairly good success.

An excellent suggestion is that made
by woman to take down the number
of a railroad ticket when travelling. II
1t is lost or the conductor on a certain
division takes it up by mistake there is
good proof that the ticket was bought.
An incident occurred which proves the
value of the suggestion. The conduc-

ticket was demanded. She explained
the situation and was able to give the
number of the ticket. The conductor

claim. thus sparlng the traveller much

still, one ingenious woman, unable to

association of dogs with mayors and

To Clean Furniture.

Go over the furniture with a cloth
dipped in paraffin oil and allow it to
stand for an hour, which will loosen
the dirt Next wash the furniture with
suds made of pure soap and rain
water. Rub very dry with a soft
cloth and polish with a piece of white
flannel dipped in turpentine. This will
not injure a piano, but restore the
brilliant polish. Furniture gets dull
because it is dirty and needs to be
cleaned with soap and water.
