"But I'll stay with you," she con-

firm, after all these years, to go away
from you-at least, not for year or
two longer, while you are getting
used to the idea. And now that Mr..

going to be a better understanding
among us, and I shall take a more
earnest share in the business.
And it was not until Miss Gregory

thing that she had never been known

TABLE LINEN ECONOMY

IHPEE LINEN ESOlNONI
The successful business man ale
ways looks ahead and plans accord
ing to what he sees, the successful
housekeeper also looks ahead to spy
out the rocks on which the good ship
household economy may split.
A good beginning in household
economy may be made in the linen
closet. Let us look over our stock
of linens, the napkins, table cloths
and towels, look for the thin places
in them and the small holes. Darn
these carefully, and thus extend the
usefulness of many of the pieces that
would otherwise have to be replaced.
To do this nicely use the linen
thread that is raveled from piece
of old table cloth. Put the cloth over
embroidery hoops and run with the
warp in the places that are thin. And
darn the tiny holes carefully. The
work is as dainty as embroidery and
certainly. it is more useful.
Towels, napkins and tablecloths
can be gone over in this way and the
housewife will be surprised to find
that her stock, which she thought
needed replenishing, will last until
next years bargain sales.

Man Arrested, Tried, Convicted and
 Sentenced in One Week

The deferred sentence in the case in which A. M.-Gibson pied guilty in the superior court on Thursday, to the charge of bigamy, was passed by Judge Phillips yesterday. Gibson is to be sent to the state penitentiary for an inde terminate term of not less than two years and not more than three years. The arrest was made on Monday.
 The case came to the notice of the sheriff through the action of Probation Officer J. w. Canning in taking Ethel Constance, the ten-year- old child of Hattie Constance from her home in the Osborn district, and placing her in the Phoenix detention home. deeming her home. through it's associations and the conduct of the mother, an unfit place for the child The action was taken on the complaint of Ora Mat thews
 The investigation of the case and the examination of the child revealed the fact that A. W. Gibson had married Hattie Constance, the child's mother, while there was yet another wife liv-
 
 arrest was made and Gibson was brought up to answer charge of bigamy
 The marriage with Hattie Constance was consummated on June 20 of this year by the Rev. Ray C. Harker. Gib- son admitted bigamy but defended his action by claiming that he had been informed that his other wife, Mary Gibson, had been killed some months previously in an automobile accident in Los Angeles. He had not lived with his wife for more than a year. By her he had four children. Gibson had been married three times.
 As an example of swift justice this case was remarkable, for it was only on July 24 that the juvenile case came to the notice of the sfferff's office and that investigations began. By Monday the man was arrested and before the end of the week convicted and sem tenced to the penitentiary,
