HEALTHY
MOTH =

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance of baby s
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elas-
tic those fbres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
ness of limbs, and soothes the infla,n-
nation of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers

my takes Kit into his confidence, he tries
70 devise some way so that his aunt will
not learn that he has no longer a wife.
He suggests that Kit play the hostess for
one night. be Mrs. Wilson pro TEN. Kit
refuses but is finely prevailed upon to
act the part. Aunt Selma arrives and the
deception works out as planned. as she
had never seen Jims wife. Jim's Jap
servant is taken i'll, his face is covered
with spots Bella, Jimmy's divorced wife,
enters the house and asks Kit who is be-

Anne got the bedrooms, and Leila was
parlor maid. 1t was Jimmy who got
the scullery work. but he was quite
crushed by this time, and did not
protest at all
Max was in very bad temper:
suppose he had not had enough sleep
no one had. But he came over while
the lottery was going on and stood
over me and demanded unpleasantly,
in whisper, that stop masquerading
as another mans wife and generally
making a fool of myself-which is the
way he put it. And I knew in my
heart that he was right, and | hated
him for it.
Why don't you go and tell him
them?" I asked hastily. No one was
paying any attention to US. Tell
them that, to be obliging, l have near
ly drowned in a sea of lies; tell them
that / am not only not married, but
| that I never intend to marry; tell
them that we are lot of idiots with
nothing better to do than to trifie with
strangers within our gates, people
who build mean, people that are
worth two to our one! Run and tell
them"
He looked at me for a minute, then
he turned on his heel and left me. II
looked as though Max might be going
to be difficult.
While l was improyising an apron
out of a towel. and Anne was pinning
a sheet into a kimono. so she could
take off her dinner gown and still be
proper, Dallas harked back TO the
robbery.

1t was Betty Mercer who said she

Selma had slept quietly through the
whole thing-we learned afterward
that she eustomarily slept on her left

gathered in the Jallas Browns room,
