Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters look
like sisters. How are the women there
able 10 retain their youthful looks until
long past middle age? Is it because they
are mitch given to the use of mercolized
wax? This wax possesses a remarkable
absorbent property which quickly re-
moves the fine particles of cuticle which
are constantly dying and which are the
cause of an Old-looking COM
plexion. Thus the livelier. healthier.
younger skin beneath is given a chance
to breathe and show itself Try this
treatment yourself. Most likely il will not
require two weeks to make your complex
ion as clear, soft. and beautiful as
young girls. Just one ounce Of mercol-
lied wax (all American druggists have III
usually does the work. The wax is put
on nights like cold cream and washed on
Another valuable secret with which the
French are familiar Is how to quickly re-
move wrinkles. One ounce of powdered
saxolite dissolved in a half pint witch
hazel, makes a marvelously effective as
trfngent lotion The face should be
bathed In this daily until even the deep
est lines are affected.

girl whom he was pledged to we'd, j.
s. Spencer of Seattle, Wash, arrived
in Savannah only ii drink from the cup
of disappointment its bitterest dregs.
Many weeks ago, through the me-
dunn of an obliging matrimonial
agency and the United States mail
service, Spencer secured an intro
duction by correspondence to Miss
Della Gibson of Dalton, Ga Whether
il was purely in a spirit of adven-
ture. or whether he was really using
such means to find a suitable wife, is
matter of no consequence now. 1t
suffices that the correspondence be-
tween the two became more frequent
and intimate.
In his distant home on the Pacific
coast Spencer formed a mind picture
of his future wife. 1t was a lovely
picture, but unsatisfying. So he ask
ed the young woman for her photo
graph In due time it reached him.
and then he was certain he had found
the one woman in all the world to

graph pictured a pretty face, win
some smile, dancing eyes. pearly
teeth and a form of no mean grace.
Cupid got in some bullseye scores
during the day that followed, and
soon a proposal of marriage was on
its way to the maiden in the north
Georgia town.
The girl. too, no doubt, had visions
of connubial bliss and happiness
with the man who had wooed her so
faithfully by mail. She duly de-
liberated the proposal, and finally
accepted. Spencer wrote that he
would come east at once. and il was
arranged that they should meet at
Savannah. The date of the meeting
was also set as the date of the we'd
ding.
Early in the morning on the date
set a neatly dressed and progresses

Wife's Love Was Worth $780,

Wife's Love Was Worth $1,000
Placing a price of $4,000 on his wife's
love George Rogers has instituted a
damage suit for this amount against
Frederick Paasch and Agnes Wag-
ner, her sisters. The damage suit for
alienation of his wife's affections is
brought in connection with a suit
for divorce. The papers filed in the
action are the most peculiar seen in
the Scott county court house for sew
eral years. In his suit for divorce
against Bertha Rogers, formerly
Paasch, the plaintiff states they were
married in Davenport May 81, 1919,
and lived together until Nov. "a, 1914.
During the last few months of their
married life. he CLAIMS she has alb
scented herself from him frequently.
He also alleges infidelity and cruel and
inhuman treatment as the grounds for
divorce. Attached to the petition for
divorce is a copy of an agreement
marked exhibit A." in which the hus-
band and wife had agreed mot to men,
ton the parents of each other in re-
buke or reproach." He also agreed to
withdraw a divorce action then pend

to her sisters. The agreement was
made Nov. IL, 1914. In his suit
against the sisters of his wife Rogers
declares that they induced her to go

inquired if Spencer had arrived. She
explained that he was to meet her
there. Spencer was not there, but
Oliver. seeming a romance, suggest
ed that she wait. explaining that the
SWANS train might be late. All un-
aware of the tragedy of hearts that
he was soon to witness, Johnson es-
corted the young woman to the
ladies'-parlor.
An hour passed, and still she wait
ed. Doubtless Ler heart beats quick
ened with each tick of the clock as
the time flew by and the man of her
dreams failed to appear. But patti
ence was apparently numbered
among her virtues, and in the course
of time it was rewarded. But such
a heart-breaking reward it was.

stinct Spencer also sought out John

A smile of joyful anticipation spread
over his face when he learned that
his prospective wife was in waiting.

ton? He asked that a clergyman be
secured and at once entered the par
lor.
Nobody knows what passed be-
tween Spencer and the young woman.
Only ii is certain that two hearts
which were supposed to beat as one
struck rocks somewhere on Cupid's
bay. and what promised to be a very
pretty romance was rudely shattered
and wrecked.

and was about to call justice of the

tice of the peace he needed then, but
a balm for wounded hearts. After
some persuasion he consented to re-
turn to the parlor and again talk the
situation over with his betrothed. He
grasped eagerly at the hint that
first impressions are not always de-
pendable. He returned, but the
