A Good Salesman.

thing you have in your place is

to gentle Mr.. So-and-so, who has
always kept high-grade selected
stock of them on hand and has just
the thing Bob wants. You will feel
sighted. but that won't matter either
to Bob or Mr.. So-and-so.
You have morals to sell. You have

In the best markets Of the world for
generations, and because you know
they are the best to be had you are
anxious that your children take some

force your sale.

Never Mind Water in Lungs.

mention how to get water out of the

She met him outside of the living
room, and he looked at her in surprise.
He hadn't expected to see her again
tonight.
He, too, noticed the slender figure
under the lacy filminess Of the pale
yellow negligee and when they reached
the living room and she stood near
one of the tall floor lamps, the light
made her black hair look as it If were
painted on her white forehead.

time at least. And so he suggested a
cigarette and a nightcap.
Nan watched him pour liquor into
two small glasses. Brandy for him
self, creme de menthe for her.
He brought her the tiny glass with
its fragile stem and she held it to
the light. The emerald color fascinat-

heart.

spare moments, because she had told
him he must be practical and work at
his pen and inks. They brought him
in ready money.
She came to herself with a start.
Martin was speaking.
Where were you this afternoon?
Hilda said something about going to
tea somewhere"
Nan slipped her creme de menthe be-
fore answering. It wasn't that she
didn't want him to know. She was
naturally frank. She was the last
woman in the world to deceive a man.
And yet she resented his asking her
this question when he had refused to
tell her where he was going tonight
1t didn't seem fair.
Martin thought she was hesitating
because she didn't want to tell him,
perhaps because she felt guilty. 1t
Infatuated him.

To Save Laundry.

When coffee or milk is spilled on the
tablecloth, or it is otherwise stained,
slip a pan under the stain and pour
boiling or hot water through the stain
until it disappears. Then empty the
pan of water and slip the pan under
the tablecloth again and leave the
cloth stretched over 1t until dry to
avoid wrinkles. 1t will dry quickly
and no pressing is necessary. It will
surprise you how much can be taken
out of a tablecloth without removing
