were so much excited and embar-
raised by their predicament that they
were unable to stop Mr.. Mueller long
enough to explain that all the require

on hand
When the mistake was corrected by
the marriage of Miss Loheide and Mr..

Clean BATHING.

1t is necessary to keep all bathing
accessories pure and clean. The
sponge, if it shows signs of souring
should be rubbed occasionally with
fresh lemon and rinsed several times
in lukewarm water. A sun bath also
purifies a sponge. The soap should be
allowed to drain and dry off after the
bath and never be allowed to soak In
the water.
Lastly the tub should be carefully
rinsed and cleansed ready for the
next occupant. This is little point
which should be unnecessary to men
ton, but is, alas, often forgotten OF
neglected.

Rev. Mueller Began to Read Miss
Kanke Into Matrimony.

mere fact of being a bridegroom had
ratified him. The knowledge that he
was bridegroom to the wrong bride
paralyzed his faculties. Miss Kanke
only blushed and Stammered. Those
symptoms are so common in brides
that they held no special significance
for Rev Mr. Mueller and the cere-
mony was on a fair way to make some
business for a judge when Miss Lo-
heide came into the church with AL
bert Maschmeier, best man.
The organist and Mr.. Mueller both
saw the mistake. The organist at
tackled his instrument afresh and
played all the nuptial music he could
call to mind in the next three min
utes.
BY this time Miss Loheide posted
herself by the side of Mr.. Reid, Miss
Kanke and Maschmeier retreated to
positions in the rear and the ceremony
was resumed.
After the wedding the party went to
the home of Mrs. Reid's father. There
Miss Kanke was hailed as near bride
and the joke helped the celebration
considerably.

Importance of NegIigees.

To leave home without putting into
the bag or the trunk negligee of some
sort would be to court all sorts of dis
comfort, for after an exceptionally long
run every woman needs the relaxation
of her kimono and her slippers. There
are innumerable soft, noncrushable
fabrics of which negligees may be
made, but none prettier than the chal-
lies in Persian patterns or the thin
cashmeres trimmed with wash rib
bons. Some tourists, however, rely
upon matinee jackets matching their
silk petticoat. and these, of course, re
quire the minimum of space and an

but not for bath robes nor to facili-
tate hasty flight from hotel in case

Acquire Grace BY Walking.

The circulation of the blood is not
quickened when you dawdle along.
Walk briskly and swing the legs and
breathe deeply, until your body is
aglow with exercise. Hill climbing
is an excellent developer and is sure
means of acquiring grace and poise.
If you find yourself breathless after
a few minutes of exercise, take 1t
easier and less strenuously, until
you become accustomed to it. Then
the chest muscles in filling the lungs
do their work easily.
A graceful woman will excite twice
the admiration that woman will who
is not graceful, nut pretty. Graceful
ness and daintiness are the two quail
ties sought for by wise women.

MOST MIRRORS ARE DECEPTIVE.
To Get a True Reflection, Glass Must
Be Draped.

Ones reflection in a mirror never

makes them appear. Let not her to
whom nature has been sparing of her
charms despair If she would see her
self in the deceptive mirror as others

possible, let her hasten to a diapers

This is one of the milliner's oldest
secrets. Many of the most artful of

NEED OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
No Woman Can Long Neglect 1t, and
Retain Beauty.

The woman who says she has mot
time" for exercise is usually the one
who most requires it. She who sits IN
an Office or stands behind counter
must have certain aids, such as rest,
diversions of proper kind, exercise
and diet. to maintain health, and it is
by adjusting these sanely that balance
is kept.
1t is a mistake to think that because
one walks during the day or does
homework, ETC., sufficient exercise is
taken, for it must be remembered
that only one kind of work is done,
and necessarily others must be de-
veloped to keep the strength.
Then again, unless the mind is re-
Taxed any kind of physical exercise IS
yalueless. For instance, 20 minutes
walk in the air should be taken at
some time each day by any woman
who does not wish to lose her COM
plexion and freshness in early youth.
To breathe deeply while walking IS
not only to increase the benefit OF the
outing, but trains the Lungs to expand

The discovery of his burglaries
caused a sensation. In addition to
cleaning out three hunting boxes in
one week, he committed several bur
glaries in Leicester itself and in the
neighborhood of his own house.
These aroused keen local apprehen-
sions, for John Spencer, the model mer-

glar, organized a public meeting which
he addressed himself and protested
eloquently against the inefficiency of
the police protection of property
He was caught in the act of robbing
a place on April 9. He fought des-
perately in the dark with the police
man who captured him. When the
burglar was finally overcome and
dragged into the light the policeman
was so dazed with establishment when
he recognized his prisoner as the
model John Spencer that he all but
let him slip away.
In his burglaries Spencer used drugs
to stupefy the sleeping inmates of the
houses he entered. j In one case a
child died from the effects of the drugs
he employed.

traced to the model merchant, but not
