With cobwebs hanging from
the walls and sticking round in
hooks and halls to wave and
greet a guest, a housewife shows
her gross neglect and we all
know what to expect from such
a wife at best. and silently the
cobwebs tell from inattention
we have fell below our proper
sphere, for it is needless to ex-
plain that cobwebs gather on
the brain and clog our running
gear The same as they collect
in rooms where wives neglect
to use their brooms and sweep
the webs away. The idle and
complaining are the ones that's
never up to par, they never do
or pray, and they have cobwebs
in their domes, for the same
reason that the homes have cob
webs sticking round, and when
they come they're here for
keeps unless by well-directed
sweeps we aim to keep them
downed. We find Just one, one

him, beyond Il doubt, more than any of
her admirers, there was yet about her
something elusive, something which
seemed intended to keep him so far as
possible ut arms length.
There was nothing tangible of which
he could complain, and this probation
AIRY period was of his W suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever it was possible. by her side
with logged persistence. Then one eve
