seem to do this. A calm, placid lady
whom you have known and trusted for
years will suddenly have emotions
which will create. an area Of disturb

If you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye, you might be able
to avoid 1t. Some men can thus avoid
emotions when they see their wives
coming, but not when they have emo

Rancid butter is unfit for use, even
for cooking purposes. But one can re-
store it to some degree of its original
sweetness, and thereby render it fit for
cooking, at least. Melt the butter, and
