There is a method of taking out the
stains, as follows: Put into a kettle of
boiling water one cup washing soda
and one-half cup ammonia, and let
the garment, with the collar hanging
outside the kettle, remain in this mix
ture for an hour or so. Then rinse
thoroughly. You will have better luck
in washing the blouse if you will soak
it for half an hour or so in water to
which salt and a little vinegar are
added. 1t will set the color nicely.
Then wash quickly.

I see this fact reflected in the children's

We read and hear many pitiful plants
of young mothers whose household bur-
dens are too heavy for them, and whose
youth and joy in life are wearing away
too soon. The burdens are sadly real, but
their weight is lifted and the spirit Of

Find Out Character.
But man would be an idiot to marry
a divorced woman without finding out
why she was divorced: just as he would

position, and her qualifications for making
a good wife, and The sort Of a mother
he wants for his children.
Certainly. man would take a big risk
who married a woman whose husband
had divorced her for unfaithfulness; for
honor is honor, and truth Is truth, and
