He likes to tell the story of the rise and the spread of Young Mems Christian associa- ton work. It is a story that never grows old to him.
 Well, anyway it wasn't long before we were married" Mrs. Sunday told me, and then our real life began.

Absorption Process
 Makes Faces Young

Success has at last come to scientists who for years have sought some method of removing the outer veil of facial skin in cases of unsightly com plexions, which would be both painless and harmless. The new process is so simple, so inexpensive, the wonder is no one had discovered 1t long ago. It has been amply demonstrated that ordinary mercolized wax (sold by druggists in ounce packages), entirely removes. by gentle absorption, the withered, lifeless surface skin, showing the youthful roselike skin beneath. The wax is ap- piled at night, like cold cream, and washed off in the morning. The ab- sorption also cleanses clogged pores, increasing the skins breathing capa city and preserving tone, color and nat ural beauty of the new skin.
 A simple and harmless wrinkle-re- mover which has also proved quite successful can easily be made at home in jiffy. All one need do is to dis solve an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel and bathe the face in the solution once day for while. After the very first applica- ton the finer lines disappear and the deeper ones soon follow.-Adv.

| you suppose? Some irreverent irreligious wspaper reporter started it (anything for sensation, you know, or to be diff | ferent), and the rest took it up, and in l that way it has clung to me" | I consider Mrs. Sunday one of the most remarkable women I have ever met. Billy Sunday couldn't any more get along without her than he could get along without his eyes, his legs his arms or his brain, for she is all these to him and more; she's his spiritual helpmate and his Rock of Gibraltar; indeed, his Rock of Ages, his other self
 Mrs. Sunday today is as famous as Sarah Bernhardt, Maude Adams, Dr. Anna Shaw or Mary Pickford; she is known from one end of the universe to the other; she has as much punch in her own quiet sturdy way as her dy- mamie husband.
 Hes just as sensitive as child" she said to me one afternoon as we sat on the platform and listened to her ener- getic, nervous, high strung evangelist husband roar out the words:
 Let me tell you it was a master stroke of the devil when he got people to quit their family prayers. Why, three fourths of the church members today no longer pray in their homes" And his voice seemed husky and misty as he ca romed his shouted words from the great fan-shaped sounding board above his head. Say, you people feed your faces but you don't feed your souls; you are mighty sure to take fine care of your physical body, but you don't give con tinental for your spiritual being"
 Mrs. Sunday couldn't help being a good mother. even if she wanted to, because the 'Rev. Billy lays the greatest stress of his life upon the home and the home environment.
 As he said, in what many people con- sider the greatest sermon he has ever preached, 'The Home,' and which he de- livered at an afternoon service and then again at the evening service of the same day in New York, and to which it is esti- mated that more than 10000 listened:
 Broken homes and broken lives go hand in handv
 T believe if the motherhood of this country were no better than the man. hood, God would dump the whole thing in hell and stop it quick!'
 Don't be a fool and overdress the kids"
 q have no faith in a woman who talks of heaven while she makes her home hell; If I wanted to investigate your piety I'd ask your cook.''
 Mrs. Sunday, after one of the meetings was aover one afternoon suggested that we'd seek quiet and comfortable corner in the big taber- nacle so she could talk to me with some sort of continuity, and so we repaired to one of the tiny rooms set aside for meet ings and Bible classes and other purposes.

and lived beyond his means and the worst
 came to the worst, Mrs. Sunday would
 have taken a little two-story, house and rented out the two front rooms and she
 would have done a little plain sewing, if you please, just to make pin money. " And if Billy Sunday had been farmer, "Oh, Gosh" Gas the Rev. Billy would eX- press iD wouldn't she have been peacherino of wife on a farm?
 In other words, Mrs. Sunday was born for wifehood and motherhood; she adores everything that belongs to her, most of all her husband and her children. She loves her home up at Winona Lake,
 Ind, where the Sundays live when they are not evangelizing. This is the spot that by her sweet presence is made hal lowed ground, where her children come to her and, after season of strenuous work, MT. Sunday rests-away from the limelight and the glare and the flare of dress parade and-concert pitch! The writer who said:
 God couldn't be everywhere, so He made mothers" voiced a great truth. There Is no word so sweet, no epitHe' so graceful, no sentiment so beautiful as that which surrounds the one word
 "mother"-and there is no crown so royal as that which womanhood wears when motherhood is placed upon her brow. | Mrs Sunday appears to me first of all | as the devoted wife and mother.
 | She has the Spartan courage of which we read in history; she has the tender ! ness which we feel is synonymous with the name mother she has the splen- did force and courage which makes of a
 wife and mother an ideal helpmate,
 counselor and advisor.
 I don't believe that Billy Sunday could
 ever have been what he is today if it
 hadn't been for Mrs. Sunday; she watches
 him, anticipates his every thought, smiles
 with him, cries with him, lives his lie
 with him, from every angle, and simply can't imagine what her whirlwind hus- band could do without her!
 Mr. and Mrs. Sunday are rarely ever separated for even so much as an hour and she not only stands back of him in every campaign he enters, but shoulder to-shoulder Nobody appreciates Billy Sundays cleverness and his genius and his magnetism and his force more thar the wife of his heart, who always sits

Here, as Mrs. Sunday and I sat undis- turbed, heard the romance of her life. And to this old fashioned wife and mother who adores and loves her hus- band and all his work and his ambitions and his success. there Is no other romance in the world to equal hers-that of her own life and her baseball player-minis- ter sweetheart.
 If you think that romance doesn't dwell in preachers homes, just visit MT. and Mrs. Billy Sunday. If you think that love, earthly, sweet, companionable, beautiful love, doesn't exist between preachers and preachers wives, just glance at the Sundays. If you think that you've met mothers who are devoted to their children and their homes and their husbands don't render your decision that they are the most wonderful in the world until you've met MT. and Mrs. Billy Sun day.
