When a Girl Marries Early a H SfSHd d Life
Betty Can't Be Found and Anne Is Greatly Disturbed

perhaps. 1t was pathetic that cold,
self contained, unconnmunicative
Virginia should make such a point
of telling me where she was lunch
ing-and with whom. 1t seemed to
me that she had almost said:
"Well-suppose the girl my hus-
band likes is a pal of my brothers
wife? Am 1 not at least as attrac-
tive as she? Isn't handsome, eligible
Sheldon Blake at-my beck and call?
Doesn't he dawdle over the lunch
table with me for two hours at a
time?"
With pity for Virginia almost
making me forget Betty, 1 turned
the knob and went back into my
apartment. There stood Carlotta at
the phone.
"Just a minute-here she is now"
she said.
And then putting her hand over
the mouth-piece, she turned to me:
ats Captain Winston. He's
phoned all the towns where she
was due this week. She hasn't
even wired for accommodations"
As I stepped to the phone, the
door opened and Jim walked in.

noon-Betty nowhere in all the
world that we could discover.
What did it all mean?

HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEHOLD

To cleanse white wooden scarfs
and shawAs, prepare soapsuds by
boiling pure white soap in rain
water. Soak the article first in
warm, clean water. Dip it in the
soapsuds and gently knead with the
hands until it appears clean. Press
between the hands without wiring
ing. Wash through fresh soap
suds and place in cold water.
Rinse through several waters and
dry 1t between cloths. Never hang
wooden articles upon the line. To
stretch the full length upon a
towel and cover with another alb
serbs the water without stretching
the article out OF shape.
All kinds OF glass vessels and
other utensils may be purified from
long-retained smells OF every kind
in the easiest and most perfect
manner by rinsinE them out we'll
with charcoal powder. Rubbing the
teeth and washing out the mouth
with fine charcoal powder will rem
der the teeth beautifully white and
the breath perfectly sweet. Putrid
water is Immediately deprived Of its
bad smell by charcoal.
A new, unwhitewashed wall
should always have a good glue
size, made by dissolving half a
pound OF glue in a gallon Of water.
or a coating of good paste put on
and allowed to dry before the paper
is hung. If the wall be white
washed It should be scratched with
a stiff brush to remove every par
ticle of loose lime from the surface.
after which it should be thoroughly
swept with broom and coated
with the glue size or thin paste.
The paste should be free from
Jumps and laid on as evenly as pos
sible. 1t should be made OF good
rye or wheat flour. beaten smooth
in cold water before boiling. and
should not be allowed to boil more
than a minute or two.
Brass tenders. fire implements, or
other such ornaments rarely need
drastic treatment unless carelessly
treated or long neglected. A brisk
furnishing up each morning will
keep them in splendid condition.
Use a clean piece OF soft chamOis
leather and a few drops OF sweet
oil. Should the metal have been
neglected. make up a soft paste o.
unslacked lime-See that it is quite
gristless-and sweet oil. Spread
this damp paste over each article,
and allow il to remain so until all
are done. Then begin with a soft
piece of chamois, rub briskly with
pressure until dry, and a brilliant
polish comes. TarniSh and bad
stains will be quickly removed by
using a piece of cut lemon. When
the stains are gone polish the metal
Immediately.
Blankets are much improved II
beaten with a carpet beaten after
they have been washed and thor
oughly dried. This makes the wool
nice and soft, and gives the blank

In cleaning old jewelry make
lather of warm soapsuds, and add
to it half a teaspoOnful of sal VIOLA
tile; brush the jewelry in this, aft

handkerchief or piece OF wash

The sun hung well above the
river mists and threw long. cher
ry-red beams across the choppy
channel where elotted Jets Of steam

Neeland sat together in low-Voiced
conference in the captains cabin;
and a sailor, armed with cutlass

Off the port bow. Liverpool

Nelson's ships. now only an appa-
rition; but to Neeland. as he caught
sight OF her dimly revealed. still
dominating the water. the old ship
seemed like a menacing ghost, new

sea power fell from an enervated
empire and the glory OF Great Brit

A young professor of mathematics
became engaged to a charming
girl, and one day they made an ex-
cursion into the country with sew
eral friends. The girl picked daisy
and. looking rOguishly at her fiance,
began to pull off the petals, saying
in time-honored fashion, "He loves
me-he loves me not" "You are
giving yourself needless trouble"
said the professor. You should
count up the petals of the flowers,
and, il the total is an uneven num-
Der, the answer will be in the af-

Before his next message came
the doorbell rang, and in walked
Carlotta Sturges. Even in the
midst Of being grateful to her for
her interest in Betty found myself
criticising Carlotta's lack of finesse.
Surely, on making her first visit,
she might have announced herself
and made sure Of her welcome in
stead Of running in so informally.
But even as the thought swept
across my mind I dismissed it
shamefacedly. No man would in
dulge in hair-splitting over Car
