Her Answer.

An Atchison girl had proposal of
marriage Sunday night and asked a
week to think it over. She went to all
of her married sisters. One, who used
to be belle, had three children, did all
her own work and hadn't been to the
theater or out riding since she was
married. Another, whose husband was
a promising young man at the time
she was married, was supporting
him. A third didn't dare say
her life was her own when her hus-
band was around, and fourth was di-
vorced. After visiting them and hear
ing their woes, the heroine of this lit
tie tale went home, got pen, ink and
paper and wrote an answer to the
young man. You may think it was re-
fusing him, but it wasn't. She said
she could be ready in a month.-Atch-
ison Globe.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
or strength than other makes.

sas as a peach producer. He is tax
ing steps to do away with his entire
