Every time you hard rub your clothes
against anything, little particles are
rubbed away.
Boiling softens the fibre of cotton,
linen, silk and wool, and when rubbed
hard on the washboard they wear away
faster than at any other time.
Try to think how many days of wear
are represented by one trip to the old
time washtub.
Fels-Naptha requires neither boiling
water nor hard rubbing.
And there is no washboard wear on
the clothes washed the FelS-Naptha way.
Fels-Naptha is made to do away with
boiling and hard rubbing; therefore if
you use it as an ordinary soap, you cause
yourself unnecessary work.
Use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water and X will do al we claim.
1t will cut the washday in half, sum-
mer or winter, and do silently and effec-
lively all the real hard work.
If you follow the simple directions
on the red and green wrapper, you will
never return to ordinary soaps and the
old-fashioned way Of washing.

When the inspection was finished,
the board then met in business ses-
sion and the following resolutions
we're adopted, and directed to be in
corporatcd In this report:
Resolved, That in our report to the
board Of charities, we recommend and
urge the speedy rebuilding Of the
amusement and assembly hall which
was destroyed by fire December last,
and the secretary shall show the ne
cessity for it in the report;
This building was of one story in
height, and 9Ox137 in ground dimen-
sions 1t was the only place that this
large number of inmates had for rec
reation and amusement of any sort,
and the officials say a most valuable
end Indispensable aid in the conduct
of the institution. 1t can be rebuilt at
q low cost because of the use of the
brick from the destroyed building and
the labor furnished from the institu-
ton. We hope that this may receive
early and earnest attention
Resolved. That we urge in the re-
port the appointment at once of at
least two additional physicians and
two iDternes on the medical staff
The necessity Of the above resolu-
ton appealed strongly to us. as we
saw the immense labor now devolving
upon the acting superintendent. his
assistant physician and one inferno in
caring properly for so large number
of patients.
The board decided upon the first
Wednesday of each month for regular
visitation.
We most respectfully submit the
above as our first report. Signed:

CHAPTER III.

A few days after she had talked
with Lady Maud. and before Mr. Van
Torp's arrival, Margaret had gone
abroad, without waiting for the
promised advice in the matter of the
wedding gown. With admirable re-
gard for the proprieties she had quite
declined to let Logotheti cross the
channel with her, but had promised
TO see him at Versailles, where she
was going to stop a few days with her
mothers old American friend, the ex-
ceiIent Me-. Rushmore, with whom
she meant to go to Bayreuth to hear
s'Parsifar' for the first time.
Mrs. RushmoFe had disapproved pro-
Toundly Of MsEgaret's career, from the
first After Mrs. Donnes death. she
had taken the forlorn girl under her
protection, and had encouraged her to
go on with what she vaguely called
her music lessons" The good lady
was one of those dear, old-fashioned,
kind, delicate-minded and golden
hearted American women we may
never see again, new that progress"
has got civilization by the throat and
is squeezing the life out of it. She
called Margaret her "chickabiddy"
and spread a motherly wing over her,
without the least idea that she was
rearing a valuable lyric nightingale
that would not long be content to trtH
and quaver unheard.
Immense and deserved success had
half reconciled tbe old lady to what
had happened, and after all Margaret
had not married an Italian tenor, a
Russian prince, or a Partisan COM
poser, the three shapes of man which
seemed the most dreadfully immoral
to Mrs. Rushnore. She would find it
easier to put up with Logotheti than
with one Of those, though it was bad
enough to think Of her old friends
daughter marrying a Greek instead of
a nice, clean Anglo-Saxon, like the
learned Mr. Dome. the girls father,
or the good Mr.. Rushmore, her Ia
nented husband, who had been an up
right pillar Of the church in New
York, and the president of a trust
company that could be trusted.
After all, though she thought all
Greeks must be what she called de
signing" the name OF Konstantin Lo-
gotheti was associated with every

So far as we are capable of Judging,
the classification seemed to be very
wise. the inmates in each showing to
d marked degree a similarity of condi-
tons mentally and bodily.
Perfect cleanliness of the person
and the clothing of the patients with

corridors, rooms and Offices were in
the best possible condition as to that
requirement
