UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES.

Under no circumstances should a
woman examine or remove the con-
tents of her husbands pockets with
out his permission. If their union Is
what it should be, that of perfect
understanding and sympathy, there
could be no reason for her wishing
to do so, and, If not. she should have
too much ~self-respect to stoop to
such an act, whether her motive be
to get money or to find something
which should incriminate him in
some way. If he is a drunkard or
refuses to provide for her, there is
a more honorable way of obtaining
her rights, and that is by an appeal
to the courts. And even IL she
thinks she has reason to doubt his
perfect fidelity to her, still she
should not permit herself to solve
her doubts in any such dishonorable
way.
If n woman thinks she may be
justified in doing this, let her put
herself in her husbands place, and
endeavor to look at the matter from
his point of view, and ] am conf
dent she would refrain from such
unwarrantable meddling with his
private property and affairs.
MRS. L. T. RAYMOND.

She Always Smiles.

Dear Margery Doom:
A girl in my neighborhood came into
my brothers Office the other day and
began to talk to me 1 do not know
who she is, but she always smiles, and
the last time she threw a flower at me.
When we meet in the street she always
smiles, I never stopped to talk to her.
Please tell me If 1t would be all right
to do so. l would like to keep COM
pany with her. @. g.
I imagine, from the toni of your let
ter. that you are entirely too young to
think about keeping company with
anyone. The next time h smiles at
you, smile in return. Perhaps you can
find someone to introduce you, If you
feel that you cannot be happy unless
you know her, but do not deliberately
try to fall in love with her. Love will
come of its own accord. If it is to come
at all.

plumb sorry. My mother was a
Cherokee squaw, but I'm white in some
spots. If you'll let your ranch boss
come along with us, well settle this
brandin' business right now"
Sagebrush did not care to accept the
offer, but Echo ordered him to go with
the Lazy X outfit. Seeing 1t was use
less to argue with her. he said: Come

Ere they had ridden out of sight,
Echo sank, exhausted. on the seat by
the fire. She buried her face In her
hands and sobbed:

Concerning a Party.

Dear Miss Doom.
VIII you please tell me how a girl
who is going to give a party may in
form her friends that she does not
wish them to bring presents or refresh
ments? Also the form of invitation to
be used, and oblige, M. NICK.
Better not mention presents or re-
fl eshments. 1t would be difficult to an
nounce that you did not want them
without inferring that you had expected
them.
If the party Is to be just a small, in
formal affair, I think 1t would be best
to write brief notes to those whom you
intend to invite. something like the
following;

Madame Alta Tells How to Remove Insipid Taste That Comes
from Boiling Fluid-Other Information That
Women of Newark Should Know.

The water a person drinks has a
great deal to do with the state of his
health, and just now, when Newarkers
are worried about the water that comes
into their homes from the city's supply,
a word or two on the best way TO
better it will not be amiss. For the
prese the Individual must himself
puri ne water he drinks or that
used IL the preparation of his food.
There are three ways of household
publication Of water-filtering, boiling
and distilling.
The first is unsafe. There are many
filters which will, when new and clean,
remove nearly all the germs from the
water, as we'll as other visible impure
ties, but the best of them soon become
foul, and unless they are constantly
renewed or thoroughly ~cleansed they
cease to act, and may even render a
comparatively good water unfit to
drink.
Distillation Is the most effective
means of publication, but the neces-
a apparatus Is cumbersome and
troublesome to use, and the method
is impracticable for family use. One
sometimes reads articles in the news
papers decrying the use of distilled
water on the assumption that it acts
injuriously upon the mucous men,
brane of the stomach and digestive
tract. This is nonsense. Nc drink can
be better and safer than distilled
water, but, as has been said, 1t is be-
yond the reach of the average family.
The other means is to boil the water.
This iss absolutely safe and perfectly
harmless. Objection has been made
that boiling for fifteen or twenty min
utes does not destroy all the germs in
water, nor does it. Some germs, which
are provided with resistant spores, may

look for the answer this week. Thank
Ing you In advance. I am, READER.
Each night before retiring apply the
cleansing cream with the tips of the
fingers In a rotary notion; remove at
once with a soft towel. If there are
large pores battle with hot and cold
water alternately. In the morning
battle with toilet water and before go
ing out put on a little powder. This
will keep the skin In excellent condi-
ton. Be sure to obtain the best rice
powder.

the ordinarily dangerous germs, such
as those of typhoid and dysentery, can
resist boiling temperature for twenty
minutes, and such water is safe to
