Mrs. Bohs surveyed the unlighted
house with suspicious eyes and
frightened lips and. upon finding the
back door locked, drew forth her
latch key with as much vengeance
rs an angry warrior drawing his
sword from its scabbard.
Mine o'clock and no Bobs," she
muttered angrily. as she switched
on the kitchen light. This ia very
strange" She stopped suddenly
and threw up her hands in dismay.

Stale bread. burnt chops and egg
shells ornamented the, stove. The
kitchen cabinet had the appearance
OF q village grocery store. for it
contained everything from empty
soup cans and catsup bottles to
hair tonic and shoe polish. Mrs,
sBobs breathed q wrathful sigh as
she suddenly thought of Bobs' last
letter to her.

housekeeper." he had written,

Good time, indeed" shifted Mrs.
Bobs. fairly bristling with indigna-

So perturbed was her state OF

Dear Mrs Thompson: Will you
please state how to steam the face
/ have noticed that you have ad-
vised steaming. but you have not
told how to do It. I don't know
how to go about it. H. S. F.
Face steauing is a method OF
treatment that may be highly bene-
fetal or injurious. according as it
is done. Too frequent applications
Of steam will cause wrinkles, by
making the skin flabby, but an oc-
casional bath Of this kind serves
the purpose Of opening the pores to
remove dust and helping to keep
the skin supple and in good condi-
ton.
A vessel which can be kept Just
below the boiling point should be
placed over An alcohol lamp or gas
plate. The vessel should have a
fairly large surface with enough
water In 1t to throw out q good
volume OF steam.
Remember, before going through
this cleansing experience, that boil
Ing steam will burn the skin, and
80 the temperature Of the water
must be = trifle lower than the
boiling point, yet sufficiently high
to throw out heat that will gener-
ate perspiration.
After everything IL arranged for
the bath the face should be we'll
rubbed with cold cream, applying IL
thickly with the finger tips and
rubbing vigorously in rotary mo-
ton over the entire face. making
the upward part of the stroke
stronger than the downward. This
will take at least I'VE minutes, and
longer II properly done. The bath
should then be ready, and the face
bent over. holding . towel SO the
steam is thrown directly on the
skin. II necessary to get fresh air
to breathe, the mouth may be un-
covered for about two seconds.
After the face is hot. and Der.
spiration starts. It should be wiped
With soft old linen to remove thu
grease, and then the face should b.
steama1 again. This Wiping ID re.

CLAIRE.

Claire was originally q masculine
name. Generally spelled Clare, it
was first used in England to name
a Norman family who came from
one of the villages of st. Clair.
Red De Clare" stout Gloucesteg's
earl, the foe of Henry III, was one
Of them.
The son of Red De Clare married
into the house of Geraldin in Ire
land and received from Edward I a
grant Of lands, now known as
County Clare. His heiress carried
the county to the De Burghs and
their heiress married Lionel, son
OF Edward III, thus making the

There are some news items that require no
display type to catch the eye Of the average
reader and no fine writing to hold the interest
through to the end. In that class are dis
patches telling Of successful prosecution Of
prohteers They are not printed as often as
they might be. Perhaps that has something
to do with, 1t. But it's tender hearted person.
indeed who doesn't feel at least faint thrill
of exultation when the caption meets his eye,

having gay time in the city while
his poor wife snatched a much
needed rest. She had learned of
his treachery just in time.
Anger grew hotter and hotter, as
with clenched hands she prepared
the homecoming speech for Bobs.
However, as time wore on her
mood changed, and there was a sor-
rowful satisfaction in feeling that
she was neglected wife, deceived
and mistreated.
As the hall clock dolefully Chin
ed the hour of l in imagination she
arrived at the conclusion of the di-
vorce trial. A lump arose in her
throat as she pictured her sorrow
full exit from the courtroom SUI
rounded by sympathetic friends and
the object Of compassionate glances
Of Judge. jury and onlookers. while
the remorseful Bobs sat with his
head bent in shame.
When at 1880 there. was still no
sign of the truant husband, Mrs.
Bobs finally dragged herself up the
stairs and opened the bedroom door
with a heavy heart. Mechanically
she turned on the light and looked
about the room with a choking
sigh, which was followed by an out
burst Of unrestrained weeping.
However. when her eyes rested
upon the bed establishment over
came her grief. and she stared fas-
cinated. Fully dressed, except for
collar and tie, with shoes on white
coverlet. lay Mr.. Bobs peacefully
sleeping.
With a bound she was over to the
bed. kissing the tiny bald spot on
his head again and again.
whats the row! What's the
row" he mumbled drowsily, blink
ing his eyes in sleepy amazement
upon perceiving his fair spouse
who was smiling through her tears
What IL the matter. old girl ?
he exclaimed in . concerned tone
Of voice.
"Oh," she answered lightly, Civ
ing him = little hug. 81 just got
worried about You, 30 ! decided to
come home, and have been watch
Ing for you for hours. Then / got
worried and thought that something
terrible had happened-an er-er-

A picture came before me of a lad
Who on an old spring wagon sat beside
another "boy'-his well beloved dad
Both munching peanuts on their homeWard
