heard mumbling in the house. and Il

disappeared from the window. 4

my cleanliness 1t was n thing of the
past. Two smudges OF dirt were on the
pocket where I had thoughtlessly fished
for n handkerchief. And when the
machine was cleaned I thought my
hands would never again become "lily
white" So it was with genuine relief
that bought a bottle of liquid that
cleans the type of a machine without
any rubbing or digging. 1t is simply
applied. allowed to dry and wiped off.
IL is fifty cents n bottle. A little bit
goes long way. and it certainly is a
saving on the wear and tear Of ones

Every woman has a love Of dainty,
soft undcrthings, and il she had her

there better combination than snow
