Broadway shrank little, then rose
in self-defense. "Who says I'm marry

"You know you don't love her."
Broadway answered hotly. He felt
that he must answer holly. 1t was the
only thing remaining for him.
Il don't know anything of the kind!

Wallace was intensely stubborn. He
would not have this thing. Engage

Broadway made a gesture of dissent.
"Now, you leave it all to me-" said
Wallace soothingly. "Ill have a talk

to prove to her that it's all al utter

Evansville, lnd.-Having swept the
slums out of the big cities Of Indiana
and placed a tenement law on the
Indiana statute books, Mrs. Albion
Fellows Bacon returned to her
housekeeping duties in Evansville

But the clubwomen of the country
wouldn't let her settle down to
housekeeping; they recalled her to
the platform, and the author of Mrs.

campaigner for housing reform in
the country. She is aiding the wo-
men of Chicago and of San Fran

WHILE GLoVE-MAKERS ARE AT
WAR LET'S ECONoMIZE
France isn't sending any more
gloves over to the United States, and
even the wisest prophets cannot say
when the glove trade that has been
checked by war will be resumed
again.
So economy in gloves is one of
many economies that women will
have to practice until the dove of
peace returns to war-ridden Europe.
Our grandmothers thought lady
was known by her gloves and shoes.
If the price of these articles keep adj
vancing a woman wearing them will
look like ready money as well.
Kid gloves are a gamble at best, as
one is rarely ever sure just how well
they are going to wear. When pUr-
chasing get those that feel soft and
pliable, with even, smooth seams.
If colored ones are bought turn in
side out to see if the dye has gone
though. If so, there are thin, weak
spots in the glove and it will not wear
well.
The inside of the glove should not
be spotted with dye, but be even in
color and white, or nearly so.
If one finds a line of color along
the inside seam Of gloves one may be
sure the gloves have been dyed after
making. This is often done to cover
up defects in skins.

ner in honor of his S5th birthday
The occasion was highly enjoyed by
all ppesent. His brother, Elvin
Butcher, of Liberty Hill, Tenn, was
present, and gave an interesting talk
that should be well considered by all.
A man of high moral character-a
Christian in every respect, always
ready to lend helping hand to those
in need. He has a host of friends,
having resided in this section near
half sentury. If the young folks
should follow his foot steps their lives
would be worth living, and their in
fuence far greater. After he has fin
ished the task his Master gave him
and crossed over to dwell with him the
good deeds he performed while on
earth will ever be in the memory of
many. We wish him many more en-
joyable birthdays.
A Friend.
