As the door swung open, it switch
I'd on the light in the closet. and ]
saw an ungainly form dangling from
the ceiling. l recoiled in amaze
ment-but not in horror for it was
not a human form. However it was
90 strangely suggestive of h hulk OF
. man that l shuddered in spite OF
hy will to be calm. Certainly, that
was the Queerest skeleton" ever con-
cealed in a well-ordered home!
1t was huge and %uncouth; the bell
lhaped helmet was of metal; the feet
were soled with weights like nat
Irons; a small tank was attached 10
the shoulders of the garment. .
1t was a divers suit! But why was 1T
behind lock and key in Certeis' closet !
I reasoned out a satisfactory answer
10 my question:
Cerfeis was an inventor-he and
Daddy Lorimer were promoting a sub
marine detector when the war ended.
Certeis had improved" a gas mask
Daddy said. "A rospirator." he had
called it. And his extraordinary gar
meDt hanging in his closet was 8
divers suit with a r~espirator attached.
Probably a man wearing 1t could walk
on the ocean bottom absolutely un-
connected with the surface atmo-
sphere. That was my guess. In 1t a
diver could explore a wrec't. unhamp-
ered by ropes and tubes He could
enter a sunken U-Boat-and search
for a reasure of jewels-if he hap
pened to know where the sub was
berthedi
Iii, was easy to understand why Ger
tets had perfected the suit-but why
had he hidden it next his WI bed?
L would never have guessed thai
answer had / not known about the
Bolshevik stuff in his desk. He could
MT trust his servants. He had told
me so. 1t wasn't possible that he
wanted to have the divers dress
handy in order to use 1T himself. 1
couldn't imagine the elegant Certeis
transformed into a clumsy explorer e
the ocean bottom. Probably he would
hire a man TO get the gems-when he
knew where they were.

Don't Cry Over Stains
Here Are Cures

Fortunately. there's a cure for
every spot-and here's a neat little
list of such frst-aids to the common
est varieties of spot and stain.
For stains from acid use ammonia
or chloroform.
For chocolate stains-soak in coal
oil and wash in cold water.
Coffee stains yield to boiling water
If treated when fresh.
Fruit stains should be soaked when
fresh in sweet milk or oxalic acid
Grass stains should be rubbed with
molasses, then washed with soap and
water.
Grease spots should be rubbed with
French chalk or Fuller's earth.
For ink use salt, cornmeal, mag
nesia. Use dry first then try paste
by mixing any of these with wa
ter. If dry absorbents fail try milk
or oxalic acid solution.
For mildew stains use lemon and
salt or ~javelle water or soak in sour
milk.
Mud stains should be soaked in
coal oil.
Paint spots will usually yield to
turpentine or benZine.
Precipitation stains yield only to
boiling water.
Tea stains are treated with boiling
water.
Wine spots should be covered with
dry salt when fresh, or with warm
milk If dried or old.
Stains from acid fruits such as
lemon or grape fruit should be GOV
cred with baking soda.
Fruit stains which turn blue or
gray after treatment with boiling
water can be removed by a 16 per
cent. solution of acetic acid.
Alcohol, either wood or grain. will
remove the most stubborn grass
stains.
For the stains left by eggs. milk,
meat or blood on wash material try
to remove first by soap and water.
Then try soaking the spot or garment
in two tablespoonfuls of household
ammonia to a gallon water. If some
trace of stain still remains sponge
with peroxide of hydrogen. If stains
are on thick. unwashable material
apply a paste of starch and water;
let dry and brush u
Lemon juice and salt remove the
average rus stain.
Sponge paint. tar or pitch stains
with ~turpentine or benzine; then
wash with hot soapsuds.

Clientele began to increase, and / was
surprised to find that many people
preferred to have a assist
them in matters of home decoration
rather than a man.
"I always try to get my customers
own ideas about her home, and then
work out the color scheme adding the
correct artistic details. People are
always satisfied when they see their
own ideas carried into effect, and
that's what decoration is far, to make
people satisfied. c~ontented and proud
of their homes"
But no matter how artistic a wo-
mans ideas are, the practical side,
says Mill Watson. is absolutely nee
essary. Experience and close associa-
ton with truly artistic surroundings,
and a knowledge of costs. materials
and even carpentering, are required.

Dangerl
With the sex appeal you can catch
almost any kind of a man, good, bad
or Indifferent.
AS the candle flame attracts moths
so the women of the sex appeal at
tracts men. But the wise moths and
the wise men hutter away to a safer
harbor.
1t is the easiest way TO get them,
but 1t is the hardest way to hold
them.
Even II you marry them, there is
danger ahead.
A marriage not based on mutual
respect cannot be happy.
The sex appeal does not last.
The girl who tries to catch a man
this way is very foolish. Men are
attracted generally only for n little
while and seldom to the point OF
marriage.
Then she has to catch another and
another until her charms are faded
and gone.
In the whirlwind OF passion, hate
and love are closely linked, and fire.
quently exchange places.
II a girl be unskilled in the art OF
sex attraction she becomes vulgar in
the attempt. If skillful the intelligent
man Is apt to think, "Who taught
her all this" His respect for her is
dead.
This a is the best way to get
candy and flowers, maybe jewels. but
the worst way to try to hold a mar.
