THAT BONE OF CONTENTION
A WILL.

| You have heard me say many
times. little book, that funerals
are the most barbarous things Of
our barbarous social life.
Every time | go to one l say
to myself that / shall attend my
own under protest, but Mr.. Trent's
funeral service was more terrible
than any | have ever attended,
for the reason that one knew that
with all this ceremony there was
not a person there who really
grieved.
Mother Trent had insisted upon
having a quartet Of male voices
to sing Beautiful Isle OF Some
where" and Crossing the Bar"
and when they first sang she
thought it was a good moment
to faint.
There promised to be commo-
ton and someone was moving for
ward to take her out when she
suddenly sat up with jerk and
said audibly''Take that little fiend
out Of here"
looked to see what had caused
the exclamation and there sat Mar
garet Ann, looking as innocent as
a cherub.
How she had managed to get
into the little chair that was right
behind Mother Trent I do not
know, but when l rose and led the
child into the next room she look
ed so injured that l asked her
what she had done to make Moth
er Trent call her "a little fiend."
II didn't do a thing, Aunt Mar
gle, honest, I didn't" she protest
ed, "but when l hold my breath
like that cross old lady, mother
always pinches me. So I just
|pinched her leg"
1t was all could do not to
laugh. did not go back into the
room where all the family and
friends of Mr.. Trent had been sit
ting. That is another thing that
always gets on my nerves. The
putting of the "mourners" out OF
earshot of the minister. II one
has a minister at all one might
suppose on had him to bring COM
fort to those who are left behind
to grieve, but as rule, the family
and intimate friends, thru con-
ventional notion that their grief
must be sacred from the mans
other friends, are pushed off In
some out of the way place where
they can hear nothing.
Mother Trent was angry because
I did not return to the room. She
said she could not understand
why Annie and Tim came, anyway.
They had not been friends of
hers and why In the world they
brought that imp of Satan with
them was more than any sane per-
son could tell"

Margaret Ann was supposed to be
out in the sun-room with her
brother, but drawn by childish
curiosity had slipped in unnoticed.

for not going to the cemetery, and
truly, I wanted to rest because

on Mother Trent's face when Jim

reading OF the will. When she

IV.-The scissors are used only
as an aid to the file. They are
used for clipping off the corners
Of the nail which the file may not
reach or to remove stray hang
nails or any roughened edge of
the cuticle. The small tweezers
are used for the removal of hang
nails and bits of cuticle that defy
both file and scissors.

| AN S WERS !
) BY CYNTHIA GREY )

Dear Miss Grey: In our
springtime of youth and love,
we fail to see or recognize each
others faults. My husband and
courted for three years and l
loved him tho | did not think
him perfect. ! did not know
his weakness for strong drink.
We have been married for 20
years and nearly all that time
have had to hide from the
world, or my world, | should
say, the heart breaks | have had
from his drinking. He will keep
away from it for months and
then start over again and for
two or three weeks it is hell.
Then he will promise to cut
it out altogether, but it never
lasts and the few months con-
tentment does not make up for
the misery of the week or two.
1t is his only fault and only for
that we would be happy. My
husband is a working man and
1t keeps us poor.
II | were young l guess he
would appeal to me again, but
with my experience of years,
and the desire to be happy, just
simply happy, as nothing else
matters in this world, l say de-
cidedly I would not marry him,
but would look for some one
more steady and reliable, as he
relies on me instead of me on
him. EXPERIENCED.

CAN'T LEAVE J. s. TAKING
 OVER $1,OOO

According to an executive order re- gently issued, no one may take from the United States over 5000 in Unit ed States notes, federal bank notes or national bank notes. Nor may one take in excess of $100 in either silver or gold certifcaees or of silver or gold coins.
 Those desiring to leave Seward or any other port, must first make an affidavit that they aie not taking over the amount permitted, before they can purchase a ticket.
 Heretofore, the limit was S5000 of United States national bank and Fed eral Reserve notes. And the limit on gold and silver certificates or coin vas $20O to each individual. The new reg ulations now in force are:
 Attention is directed to the regu- lation of the Federal Reserve Board, approved by the Secretary of the Treasury, under the authority of the executive order of the President of the United States dated September 2, 1917, which permits travellers leaving the country to carry on their person in their baggage:
 United States notes, national b, nk notes, and Federal Reserve notes not to exceed 5000 for each adult.
 American silver dollar, subsidiary silver coins, and silver certificates not to exceed S100 for each adult:
 "Gold coin or gold certificates not to exceed $100 for each adult.
 "The taking out of this country or any of it's possessions, by travellers, of any amounts in excess of those speci- fled above is unlawful and punishable by fine or not more than S10,000 or imprisonment for not more than. two years, or both, and subjects such coin r currency to seizure and forfeiture or currency to seizure and forfeiture

The last mail brought tine monthly allotment of hospital garments and supplies to be made by the Seward Chapter during the month of April. This allotment consists of one box ot underdrawers and underShirtS for use in the French hospitals, and one box of operating masks. As the standard size packing box for the American Red Cross Is 3x2x2 feet it will be readily seen what a large task re- mains to be done within the next three weeks. All this is in addition to the regular output ot surgica. dressings ana the knitting which we hope will not be decreased on account of this additional work.
 The Surgeon General for the United States Army abroad makes a reQui- sition eacL month on National Head rual ters for all hospital supplies need ed. Washington apportionS this out among the thirteen Divisions of the American Red Cross in the United States and they in turn divide it among the Chapters under their juriS' diction. The committee has accepted ne allotment for Seward, feeling s'we that the work will be done. As it is impossible for lack of shipping space co send more supplies Of this charac- ,er abroad than are absolutely neceS- sary it is well to bear in mind that the hospitals m France will be short needed articles by just so much as Seward falls short ;n tliS allotment.

MODERN FACE IS BECOMING MORE
 OF WEDGE SHAPE

LONDON, April IT. The tendency of the modern face, according to Pro- lessor James Keith, lecturer on An thropology of the Royal Institute, is to become wedge-shaped. with a long CT, narrower and more prominent nose. Prominences above the eyes are disap- bearing, and the brow is becoming smooth and of an even contour These changes in the human face, declared the scientist, are due to changes in methods of mastication from the early days of the human race.
