The honeymoon had waned.
For honeymoons have a way of
waning, and the rapidity Of the wan
ing depends on the purse.
There was a fiat in which this par
ticular honeymoon had been at its
full for so long that It was foolishly
expected that 1t would always keep
so, but now the bride sat in the
plush chair and two shining tears
dropped on the pad Of paper which
she held on her lap. She was wrapt
in a gray cloud OF sorrow, and q
bathrobe Of the bridegroom's of the
same dull color.
She crossed her bath slippers OF
bright red and rested her feet on a
hard, cold, unfeeling world.
The pad Of paper was like a stone
slab in a country cemetery. II held
signs, figures and words.
In English Il was the "rent due,
the groceries due" ana a bill for a
new hat.
This was what had chilled the
world. had onened the tear fountains
and set the honeymoon waning
"Deary," said the bride, tearfully
"I don't suppose you've even got the
price Of a newspaper"
Darling" replied the bridegroom
"'tis Just the size Of my bank roll
I'll step down to the corner store and
cop one out for my precious tootsy'

Don't stay long now" whispered
the little bride "I1l be lonesome and

After the usual lengthy farewell
befitting a soldiers parting fron
home, never TO return, the bridegroom
started on his quest for the papeI
When he returned the bride ha
dried her tears. She had turned to
fresh leaf on the pad OF paper.

SUNDAY AT FIRST CHURCH.

The Rev. J. Ross Stonesifer will fill
the pulpit of the First Presbyterian
Church at the morning and evening
worship tomorrow. His morning
theme will be, "The One Essential
Holiness" and at 7.45 o'clock, Dark
and No Christ"
The women of the church are very
enthusiastic on their showing at the
Synodical meeting. They have two
societies for women, and although
only one, The Women's Society, re-
ported to the Synodical Convention,
both have doubled their membership
within the current year. The Second
Auxiliary membership would ordin-
arily be included in that of Woman's
Society. These were the only societies
in the Baltimore Synod to report a
doubled membership goal which
every society tried to reach. The com
bined membership Of these two So
cieties in the First Church is one
hundred and twenty.

How 10 Safely
Peel Your Face

VI DGduly
II you have a muddy. sallow Of
blotchy complexion, the most sensible
thing to do is to remove it-rather
than to patch IL over or doctor" II
with any cosmetic. rouge or lotion.
The only way to really remove tho
complexion-aside from resorting to
an expensive and painful surgical op-
eration-is by means Of ordinary mer-
colized wax. Spread the wax over
the face, as you would cold cream,
washing it of in the morning. This
gradually absorbs the lifeless and the
half-dead outer skin. in minute. al
most invisible particles-and gradu-
ally the fresh young skin beneath
beams forth. Then you have a clear,
smooth. velvety, heaithy-hueu COM
plexion, such as no unnatural method
can possibly produce.

course disappear with the discarded
skin. Ask the druggist for an ounce
Of pure mercolized wax; this is

The Biggest Pigeon Farm in the World

The pigeon rs strictly monogam-
Gus, selecting a mate and displaying
a marital fidelity that might we'll
be emulated by featherless and pre-
sumably superior bipeds. The fe-
male begins laying eggs when Ave
or six months old. She lays two
eggs and then settles down to hatch

eighteen days, the male bird shar-
ing the labor with the female. The
young birds consist OF little but ap-
petite, so that both the father and
mother are kept busy feeding their
offspring. The method used for
feeding the young is PECULIAR The
little pigeons thrust their bills into
the mouths OF the parent birds; and
these feed the young by disgorglng
partially dlgested food. Being thus
supplied with pre-digested baby
food, the young birds grow with
extraordinary rapidity, so that when
from four 10 Ave weeks old they are
ready for the market Us squads
