THE Gates of Silence

"Peeping- prSing? What on earth

There was more than surprise in the
tones OF Anthony Barrington's voice
there was a sharp note of anger; the eyes
that looked up at his wife with a quick
Interrogation were alight with a look she
had never seen in them before a look
that brought home to her with unpleas-
ant emphasis the fatal indiscretion of
which she had been guilty.
Her grip on his wrist relaxed, and she
gave little exclamation which she
strove with the poorest success TO turn
into a 4augh; but her voice when she
spoke trembled TO tears she was pain
fully conscious of that

Easy on the woman and easy on the
clothes.
That's why progressive women are
washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha
in cool or lukewarm water, in summer or
winter.
It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time of the old
way of washing.
It's easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
holes befo-c their tire.
Save yourself; save your clothes-use
Fels-Naptha.
Costs little money for big cake, and
lasts longer than ordinary soaps.
In using it follow directions printed
