before ana addressed to his counsel.
In it he said:

sentenced on January by Judge San

ginning May 10. Flo received tho SOM
tence with seeming self-possession
Only three days before making his
confession Richeson had sent a. letter
of resignation to the cleric of his
Cambridge church. In which he said:

is less danger Of betrayal Of my methods

onices and workrooms BY the time she puts
on her hat to 80 home. When she runs
downstairs or crowds into the elevator
with the other girls all the talk Is about
dresses and beaux-especiaily beaux. Not

Let me suggest that the real point Is
whether or not water changes chemically

been boiled, Is II affected by more boiling,
and to what degree? On this problem rests
not merely the use Of water In tea, but in
other food
A majority OF cooks keep on filing up
the teakettle or other receptacle for hot
water without waiting for 1t to run dry.
A lady once pointed to her FURNISHED tea

Hope of Average Girl.

With what Is called i" advanced woman

ing in Of other ideals q do not say higher

and ambitions The woman doctor. or
lawyer, or artist, or journalist. or the heir
ess Of independent wealth may have and
maintain different standards. As q rule
the average girl means to marry and keep
house some day.
To this order. I surmise, belong the

wise he would not expect her to be her own
cook. The rich man may acknowledge the
expediency that his prospective bride
should know enough Of practical house
