20 both labor and capital are so obvious
that these two will be on the same side
for once and henceforth, and when they
are on the same side there is no resisting
them.
Only Tommy and Mrs. Gunsdorf held
out against Celestias influence. Tommy
had never been affected by her hypnotic
sway. and Mrs. Gunsdorf had de evised a
trick to thwart 1t. Having learned that
there was something In Celestias eye,
some power which she could neither
fathom nor resist, Mrs. Gunsdorf main
tained her own independence in thocght
and action by the simple expedient OF
never meeting Celestia's eye
Mrs. Gunsdorf was violently opposed %
Celestia's theories. This opposition was
not arrived at by elaborate mental pro-
cess The two women loved the same
! man. And the man very obviously loved
Celestia (for when he wasn't with her
he was trying his best to be with herr.
| This was enough to place Mrs. Gunsdorf
on any side Of any question IL only it
was the opposite TO Celestia's. Twice,
when Celestia was addressing meetings
of strikers lin interest of peace and
progress), Mrs. Gunsdorf succeeded in
creating such violent disturbance that
she had to be removed forcibly from the
| room.
The strikers favorite place for meeting
was in a large. shabby dance hail. in the
meanest and most squalid section Of Bit
umen Having been elected from thiS
hall Mrs. Gunsdorf stood upon the outer
steps, picture OF important and jealous
rage.

Perhaps. Heaven knows the business
girl who has sentimental affair with
her employer. and who goes abort with
him to places of amusement when he is
n married man, does a foolish enough and
a wrong enough thing, and one for Which
she pays dearly enough in the end
But why blame everything on the girls?
What about the recreant husband who
takes the girls about? No girl can go
out to dinner or to the theater with her
ernuloyer unless he asks her to go.
She can't compel him to treat her to
such diversions or to make her presents
or To spend money on her that should
be- spent on his wife, as any elderly
and plain and homely working woman
can testify.
Moreover. 1t is the privilege OF the
employer to have only those about him
of whose conduct he approves and II ne
didn't want little Miss Stenosrepher TO
make googoo eyes at him he would

sny husband who gets stolen away from
his own fireside has been guilty Of. at
least, contnbutory negligence.
When you come to think of 1t, 1t Is
cynicaHy amusing to near a wife accuse
a little 1s or 19-year-old girl with no ex-
periehce OF life, no knowledge OF the

Tan, Red or Freckied
Skin is Easily Shed

To free your sunmer-soiled skin of Its
nuddiness freckles, blotches or tan, the
hest thing to do Is to free yourself OF the
skin ITSELF This is easily accomplished by
the use OF ordinary mercolized wax, which
can be had at any drug store. Use at night
as YOU use cold cream, washing Il off in
the morning. Immediately the offending
surface skim begins TO come off In fine
powder-like particles. Gradually the en-
tire cutlcle Is absorbed without pain or
Inconvenience. The second layer OF skin
