ing the latest methods in use at those
institutions. Among the number visit

AQUA PRIETAN
CUSTODIAN OF
CHURCH THERE

Ignacio Molina, a government rail-
way inspector, and well known citizen
of Aqua Prieta, has been named GUS
todian of the Catholic church at Aqua
Prieta and given the keys to the
church. Under instruction from the
national government at Mexico City,
Mayor Ernesto Bourboin> Of Aqua Pri-
eta, named a committee of 10 citizens
to take charge of the church. This
committee, in turn, selected Senior Mo-
lima as one of its members to act as
custodian of the church.
The church at Aqua Prieta has no
priest residing regularly in that city.
It's services are conducted by a priest
who comes from Nacozari. The Aqua
Prieta church will remain open so that
the people of the city may worship
there whenever they desire.
So far, there has been no religious
trouble at Aqua Prieta, and none is
anticipated by the authorities. While
a majority of the people in the city
are Catholics, they are inclined to pa
tiently await the outcome of the re-
ligious struggle in Mexico.
A report from Mexico City, received
in Aqua Prieta Saturday, declares
there is no disorder anywhere in the
country at present because of the re-,
ligious situation A report current in
Aqua Prieta Monday that rs soldiers
had been sent from that city to From
teras to quell disturbance there re-
sulting from the religious situation,
was declared by Aqua Prieta officials
to be false, there having been no troop
movements from Aqua Prieta.
All Catholic churches with the eX-
ception of a few where inventories

sentative ones whispered that the

Such false prophecies are no doubt
a comfort to the woman who is not

go out of fashion in a few weeks? But

the fashion. There has been some
tendency toward longer evening
skirts. true enough. Longer than
what? Longer than the skirts that
stopped their careers above the knees,
or perhaps longer on one side or with
points or drapery hanging down at
one or both sides. Some of the pic
turesque period frocks have been long
very long--but this does not mean
that skirts of that length are about to
be worn. generally any more than it
indicates a return of the full skirt or
the close-fitted bodice that is also
characteristic of the period frock.

Hands and Gloves.

With November days almost at hand
and Midwinter not so very far off, one
problem becomes important. That is,
how to keep the hands soft and
smooth and White during the cold
weather.
Gloves and lotions will do it. My
honey almond combination will bleach
the hands and keep the skin fine and
there are dozens and dozens of good
and not expensive lotions on the mar
ket. Glycerin and rose water is good,
half and half, we'll shaken up. Glycer-
in, cucumber Juice and rose water, or
glycerin. lemon Juice and rose water,
a. third of each, are two other varia-
lions. Vanishing cream, always of the
best quality, Is excellent IL rubbed into
the hands at bedtime. And the nails
should be rubbed full of greasy cold
cream every night and the cuticle
pushed back; this is more important in
Winter than in Summer.
About gloves: Thin French kid or
suede is little use as protection,
though better than nothing, and a
tight glove Is worse than useless, for
1t impedes the circulation and causes
a lot Of troubles, the least of which
is a red nose. Besides, those snug
thin gloves which cling to the hand
so and hutton tightly around the
wrist are rather ugly. They show
all the bad points of the hand, having
no shape really Of their own; they
pinch the hand trifle and show it off,
looking pinched.

It had been deserted for long time
Could it be that something had hap

Reddy Fox or Hooty the Owl had
caught Nanny? Or that something
else equally bad had happened?
Then Danny remembered that 1t was
only few days since Skinner the
Swallow had seen her. He remem.
bered something else He remembered
what Skinner had said about the
strange Meadow Mice who had come
to the Green Meadows and who
seemed to be so much interested in
Nanny Meadow Mouse. Could it be
that Nanny had gone off with one of
these? That must be it. 1t must be
that Nanny had given Danny up for

the very thought Danny gritted his
little teeth and ground them together
and flew into a dreadful rage. He

jealous. He rushed out of that de-
serted little house, and he was still
