her knitting needles impatiently.

Maysville was always enlivened by
the coming Of Mrs. Antes to her sum-
mer home in its shady suburbs. Her
| coming always meant one or more
morning porch parties for matrons and
at least one garden party for Maysville
maidens. And when these maidens
learned of the presence in her home of
her bachelor nephew, they made due
note Of the possibilities thereby in
volved, and made so many friendly
overtures that the nephew took to the
river bank daily, whether he wanted to
fish or to read anthropological lore.

"Bravo!" called John, promptly, all
annoyance at the intrusion having been
replaced by admiration for the intru-
der.
"Not bad beginning, Is lit" The
smiling response came In a voice OF
natural sweetness.
In disposing of the floundering fish,
John and the girl fell into easy con-

tinued desultorily and in low tones as
they sat side by side with their lines
thrown far into the stream.

WELL KNOWN SINGER
To VISIT WATERFOWL

The we'll known soprano, Miss Betsy
Lane Sheprerd, will give a recital in
Turner Opera house on Friday even
ing, November 3d. The young artist
has come into prominence of late
through her concert and oratorio
work.
The appearance of this artist, who
is comparatively new to music lovers
outside of New York and other large
musical centers, gains interest from
the fact that she has won recogniz-
ed position among the finest sopranos
of America in a remarkably short
period of time She will be presented
to the music lovers Of Watertown by
E. M. Stapleton, the concert being
given under his auspices. Admission
to the affair will be by card only.
Miss Shepherd commenced her seri-
Gus study of music at Syracuse Uni
versity, but for several years she has
been pupil of Sergei Klibausky and
Frank La Forge. She has been heard

plan of what hope to do. Wonder
If you'd tell me what you think of it,"
"Oh, do tell me about it! I'm so glad
you're going to do something
So he told her of his plan to open his
mothers old colonial country house,
which for the ten years since her
death had been unoccupied, and make
it home for as many war orphans as
1t would hold. Then they discussed it
with enthusiasm until she had to go to
keep a luncheon engagement. Only as
she disappeared did John realize that
he had no assurance of meeting her
again, and he was so unhappy over the
possibility and went slowly back to
his aunt's home, entering the grounds
by way of the orchard, and the house
by way of a side porch.
"Come here, you tramp!" called Mrs.
Antes from the dining room. II shall
present you to my guest just as you
are"
And John, obeying her summons, was
in the dining room doorway before he
dreamed that the guest was this charm
ing companion Of an hour before and
that her name was Grace Morton.
"My nephew, Mr.. Wells, Miss Nor
ton" said Mrs. Antes, and was little
puzzled that both Of them blushed so
noticeably. Hurry into presentable
clothes, John, and have luncheon with
use You must tell Miss Morton all
about your plans for the orphans
home, and, as she is just home from
completing a kindergarten course, I'm
sure she can give you many sugges-
TONS"
Nothing would please me so much
as to have Miss MortOn's help in work
ing out my plans" said John in tone
sincerely serious.
But Mrs. Antes remained curious
about their mutual and very evident
embarrassment until the following
week, when they confessed it's cause
and announced their engagement.

New Corn Remover Causes
Big Run On Drug Stores

Since the virtues of Ice Mint as a
corn remover became known in this
country druggists have been having an
extraordinary demand for this product.
and it is predicted that women Will
wear smaller and prettier shoes than
ever.
The fact that this new discovery,
which Is made from a Japanese pro-
duct, will actually remove corns--roots
and all--and without the slightest pain
or soreness, is OF course manly re-
sponsible for it's large and increasing
sale.
You apply little on a tender, ach-
ing corn and instantly the soreness Is
relieved, and soon the corn is so shriV-
eled that it may be lifted out with the
fingers-root and all. 1t Is a clean,
creamy, snow white, non poisonous
substance and will never inf1ame or ir-
ritate the most tender skin. Cutting
or pairing corns too often produces
blood poisoning and people are warned
TO stop it. Just ask in any drug store
for small jar of Ice-Mint and You
can quickly end your misery and make
your feet feel cool and fine. There is
nothing better.
