 ''Or haybe it is a full face looking out at you dreamily, the same delicate fingers spread out on the chest holding the fragile draperies from flying away?" inquired the thin young man who was renowned as a cynic.

 Go by all means. If you stay and marry the girl you will always be day laborer, and you will come to hate her because she stood be- tween you and your opportunity. If you fit yourself for a better po- sition you will be mere able to make life pleasant and easy for her

And if I could have my dearest wish in the world I would ask that the eyes of the husbands of all such women might be opened so that they would see their wives, not as worn, tired women who have been too busy to even care for their per- sonal appearance, but as shining angels, clothed in glory, that they were privileged to serve and wor- ship.

Answer l:


 Try to look at the matter in a more common-sense way. You have got nor bid on the subject. It is no reflection on the baby to have been adopted, and certainly you should be proud of hay ing done such fine and noble thing as to have taken homeless, motherless little one into your tender arms.

Answer:
 Frankly, I don't know. A wo- man who performs all the multitu- dinous tasks that are involved in making a comfortable home and taking care of little children works so much harder than any other IabOrer on earth and is such a marvel of efficiency that it is pre- sumptuous for any outsider to even offer her a suggestion.
 And her insolvable problem comes in with the fact that too often her husband expects her to be both a domestic slave and a vamp, which are two incompatible jobs for any one to hold down at the same time.

MADISON
Wooden Mill Construction in
PROFESSIONALLY Laws En-
forced - Summer Cholera in
Town

The Madison Wooden Co., has a
crew of men at work building a
heavy cement wall in the river bed
just above the tail race from the
wheel pit. 1t is expected that this
wall in time of high water will turn
the current as it comes over the
dam and eliminate much of the diff
ticuty due to back water.
Owing to orders given by Police
Officer James II. Brooks, Saturday
evening, Madison stores did but lit
tie business on the Sabbath and this
business came within the bounds of
the law. This action was brought
about on the part of Officer Brooks
by the protests of a number of citi-
zens against the increasing tendency
on the part of some places of bust
ness to keep open on the Sabbath,
and one place that made a practice
of doing business day and evening
as on other days. Such places as
were open had victulers' licenses and
were warned to sell nothing except
food and that to be disposed of on
the premises. The order was gen.
orally observed.

DR.. G. II. Hutchins of the State
Health Department was in town Sat
urday afternoon in consultation with
the local board of health and it was
decided to have the town water sup
ply analysed also to investigate the
milk supply of the two villages. The
citizens are urged to boil all water
used for drinking purposes for the
present.
While in town Dr. Hutchins also
investigated several ice cream estab-
lishmentS and while not strictly
sanitary and making some sugges-
lions for improvement, said they
were as good as in most towns.
DR.. Hutchins also investigated the
cesspool at the foot of Main street
hill and made arrangements with

from three weeks trip to New
York and Connecticut. During that
time she attended and graduated
from one of the best known schools
in corsetry in the country. 1t is in
teresting to note that while some OF
the best known filters in New Eng
land were attending the school, Mrs
Dixon attained a rank among the
highest in the whole class.
Not only did she put in much OF
her time learning all the ms and
outs of corset fitting, but she visited
Bridgeport, Conn.,, where she made
a tour of the corset factories and &C.
quired much valuable information as
to just how corsets are made and
why they are made in a particular
way.
While Mrs. Dixon has long been
an accomplished corsetierre, the
Adams Co., in line with their policy
to have their department heads
thoroughly familiar with every
phase of merchandising. desired hel
