Good housekeepers and dressers find
this system Of ours invaluable, not
only in keeping their clothes in the
best Of condition al all times. but
from an economic standpoint, which
means a great reduction in their cloth

Through these little chats we are
not simply praising ourselves and the
class of work we do-but in the inter-

realization Of the value OF honey as a
wholesome and delicious article OF
Mood and also as to its preservative

made with sugar soon become dry and

My Cousin. The Duke.

TOR the next few weeks matters
went along without any partic-

4 which | was entangled showed
no signs of u%nraveling. and my mar
riage to the princess and the royal sue
cession seemed farther away than ever.
The Investigations in the United
States had yielded nothing of any utili-
ty. Indeed they had been practically
barren. for they had told me little more
than Courtney's cablegram.
Edwards. the witness named in the
certificate, had not been located, though
New York had been scraped as with a
fine tooth comb. so 1t was safe to as
sumo his existence was only on paper
and In Alderman McGuire's brain.
The movements of Madeline Spencer
had been very difficult to trace. She
had stayed recently in Washington,
Philadelphia. Pittsburgh and New
York. but at non of these places could
any traces be discovered OF an ennis
sary of Lotzen.
Nor did the investigations at this end
