 The victim this time was an elderly man, more wealthy than any of the spouses she had taken in the past. She explained to him that the dream of her life was a world tour. No. responded with a check to cover all expenses of an extended itinerary. He was himself too busy to go, but every need of the beloved Adrienne would be looked after
 Even now the marrying Adrienne was not satisfied. She must have more husbands, more sources of cash. She began to marry now with an amazing assiduity. Almost every port visited on her tour produced husband, and all of them earned at least Sl0,000 a year Adrienne saw to that.

 Then it was that Adrienne met Mon sieur Duclos, who was unaware of her husbands existence. He was attentive to the beautiful girl from their first meeting; there were flowers, theatre parties, gifts. Then Adrienne had an idea. Why not? She made it known that she could not accept NJ. Ducloe' muniflcence any longer unless he made known his intentions. Promptly the dazzled swain proposed.
 They were married at once. The Angel regretted the pain that depar- ture from NJ. Guyot would cause. But after all, didn't one so lovely need closets of expensive gowns, Iimousines and luXuries beyond the purse of poor M, Guyot, whose bank account vas considerably smaller than it had been when she was first married? She left a note which declared she could not bare to have him see her sun'er-and departed for the domicile of NJ. Duclos. As souvenirs she took with her some S40,O00 worth of jewels.

The chemical that is strong enough tc

that the process must be repeated al

The wax depilatories amount to

produced from the same spot.
One disadvantage common to both
depilatories and shaving is that the
process must be repeated at intervals
For the permanent removal of hairs the
electric needle is used. The needle is
inserted carefully into each tiny hair
follicle, where it destroys the growth
permanently. Unfortunately, the cleo
tricity tends to stimulate the growths
from adjacent hair follicles that have
not been burned out with the needle
AS a result, the growth of hairs may
increase after the electric treatment
but when all the follicles have been
treated there will be no more hairs.
The follicle is the little hollow in the
skin into which the hair root fits and
from which it grows.

Songs of the Night.

Text: who Giveth Songs in the
Night. JOB, Xxxv.10.
The Bible has frequent references
to songs in the night. I'm the night
his song shall be with me-" "I will
call to remembrance my song in the
night" "Ye shall have a song, as in
the night" And at midnight Paul
and Silas sang praises unto God"
Paul and Silas at Phillippi, their feet
in the stocks, their backs tingling with
the pain of recent scourging, at the
hour of midnight burst forth singing
hymns of praise. How strange those
songs must have sounded in that dark
dungeon which, no doubt, had often
rung with oathS and curses. How could
these men in the midst of such dark
ness and suffering lift their voices
in melodies of thanksgiving? I'm the
night His song shall be with me-" That
is the answer. God has way of giving
to His people Songs in the night"
What a song is the book of Job!
And let it be remembered that that
wonderful song of trust and triumph
which has sung its way down through
the ages, bringing coincidence and re-
aewed hope to millions of hearts. was
born in one of the darkest nights ever
experienced by any mortal being.
Pilgrims Progress" which has cheered
and guided the pilgrimage of countless
thousands. was a song of the night,
being born out of John Bunyan's long
night in Bedford Jail. Fanny Crosby's
many hymns are all songs of the night
Out of the night have come our best
poems, sweetest melodies and richest
literature.
When they teach a bird to sing, they
darken its cage. And to teach us 10
sing, it seems God has to darken the
windows of our life.

TO keep herself looking really well
should ever give her face thorough
cleansing without also rubbing the cold
cream into the neck. The back of the
neck is particularly important during
the Winter and early Spring months
because it is rubbed by dark dresses
and dark coats, and the skin is apt to
turn a bad color.
Whatever sort Of treatment you have,
begin by thorough rubbing with
cleansing cream. The following form

mineral oil, ounces; rose water, l p

almonds, Is drops. This. as you know, is
made by melting the wakes in the Oil,
then adding the rose water and borax
lukewarm, stirring the whole until 1t
begins to CONCEAL. If you want some
what lighter cream use two ounces of
rose water.
The back of the neck should be rub

thing at night The cream should be
taken off with a soft bit of tissue, such
as the soft tissue napkins that come
for the purpose, or with a bit of absorb
ent cotton dipped in hot water, or ever
with some old muslin which can ther
be thrown away. There will not bt

"A London this morning"
Every once in while during the
World War this official notice would be
handed to the British press. Nothing
more. But the public finally came to
recognize these mysterious, chilling
statements as announcements of the
executions Of spies.

vitals of all countries involved in the
war. Spies-the bane of governments
and the scourge of commanders along
the battle lines.
Both men and women--thousands OF
the latter-were engaged in this secret.
hazardous occupation, and if their his
tory could be written in detail it would
form one of the most amazing chron-
icleS of the world conflict. 1t would
provide an almost irreconcilable mix
ture of bravery and cowardice. of I'M
selfishnesS and cupidity, of love and
hatred, but whatever the motive which
inspired this work there was one i'm
mutable fact that applied to all spies
they were playing with death.
Both sides employed hosts OF spies.
I learned that England even had spies
working in government Offices in Ber-
lin l doubt not that the Germans had
similar arrangements in allied capitals.
Certainly the allied countries were filled
with spies, and in the war zones they
were everywhere. I knew of many be-

i while was attached to British general
! headquarters as war correspondent.
One of the most common types Of
spy was the woman who bartered her
self for such crumbs of information as
she might pick up from the men she
selected as her prey. These women
came from all walks of life.
Paris, of course, was full of these
women. Some of them maintained
palatial homes and were gowned like
princesses. They entertained lavish!y
and took no money from their guests
| they were looking for information.
Many an officer had an Arabian Nights
romance for which he could not account,
but he could have got an explanation

There were, Of course, many other
kinds of spies. Up in Flanders more
than one farmer was caught using the
arms of his windmill as a semaphore to
communicate with enemy airplanes.
These spies were shot against their mills
and the buildings were burned. The war
correspondents also discovered that some
Flemish women were signaling enemy
planes by arranging the family washing
in a special manner on the grass of
their gardens.
Once we uncovered an interesting spy

Ambition.

One Of the cheef differences between
people and animals Is that animals are
satisfied to be the way they are while
people have other Ulcers known as am
billions and genrelly half to stay the
way they are anyways.
When we are young and small we
awt to be full of ambition and have
Ulcers about what we are going to be,
such as a drummer in a army band If
you like to wawk or the president of
a bank II you don't.
But no matter how old you get you
can always still be ambitious. Even if
you are 81 you can have ambition to
be a hundred or anyways SO, being at
leeSt even number
Some people get up at clock in
the morning when they could of stayed
in bed unconscious and slept 2 more
hours. This is also known as ambition
and is very Enjoyable if you have that
kind of disposition but otherwise very
paneful.
The highest form of ambition is to
be ambitious for others, but it is also
libel to make you the most unpopuler,
such as ladies who try to keep men
they never met from smoking for the
good of their helth, and teechers who
Wunt you to lern more than you are
RELY anxious to.
Ambitions are libel to change as you
get older. For instants you mite think
just now that it would be the greatest
thing in the werld to be ash man on
top of high ash Wagon catching
heavy cans of ashes as if they was lite
as feathers, but as you gradually lern
more sents you realize people will have
a much higher opinion of you if you

Most gerls have ambition to be a
bewty looking nerse and tie bandages
on strange men to make them feel
better and maybe marry them after
verbs if they are rich and handsome

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Time and

Helen is shy; Tommie is a bully;
Susan Jane is cry baby; Buster is
jealous; Fanny witches her face. A
long list of children's difficulties con-
fronts us. We speak to each mother
in turn, and again and again We hear:
I've taken him to the doctor. He
says he will be all right when he gets
to be a certain age"
Well, maybe so. But again, maybe
not. Time alone will not cure faults.
Good example, right instruction, good
environment will, In time, correct al
most any fault of childhood. But I'M
aided time, no.
We have roughly marked off phases
of childhoods growth SO that Z years
becomes a landmark of infancy and
IA or Whereabouts of adolescence and
81 or SO of maturity. These are merely
rough marks set for the guidance Of
grown folk generally. They are never
to be taken as accurate, never-changing
time schedules of growth.
We cannot set a mark across child'S
growth, and say, To-day this child
ceases to be an infant and becomes
a child; today he ceases to become
a child and is an adolescent." Growth
Is continuous and the characteristics
of one period merge into the next and
no growth is ever complete, ever pure.
A child grows in many directions, TAX
ing on many powers and many quail
ties in broad swath of progress. These
powers and qualities are of uneven
growth, so the child Is ever something
of baby, ever something of an adult.
1t is misleading, then, to say that when
child grows to a certain age he will
be thus and so. What he will be is
to be determined largely by what he
does to himself and what is done to
him during the years Of his growth.
So when a child has a bad fault, set
to work correcting it. Don't leave a
defect to time. Meet time more than
halfway, for time sets habits unless
they are constantly shifted.
If the child has temper tantrums try
| to study out why he has them. Keep
record of your study. What time
Of day did 1t happen? Who was there?
| What was said and who said it? What
kind of tantrum did he have? What
about? What had he eaten during the

But be active in helping children

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. B. p writes: (Which do you
think is the proper way to put baby to
bed? Just to put him in bed and let
him fuss, or if he does not sleep, to pick
him up again, or stand by his crib, or
old and does not sleep well at night and
makes a terrible fuss going to bed. He
sleeps fine in the daytime"
AnSWer.---The first way Is right, pro-
viding you know that the baby is COM
fortably well fed, not overfed, the room
is cool, the cover light and warm. Then
go out and shut the door and let baby
fuss until he goes to sleep.
One of the hardest problems young
parents have to face is knowing what to
do when baby cries. They feel that
they must do something and usually
that something takes the form of enter
tainment. Soon, no matter what the
origin of the crying baby begins to de-
mand the entertainment, and fails to
learn the most Important lesson, that
going to led is a five or six times a
Gay duty in early infancy and at least
three times-a-day duty up to 5 years,
and that it should be accompanied by
from his first day in his own little bas-
ket and putting him in a dark, quiet
room, constitute the only method by
which these habits can become Solidified
Suppose he does fuss for a few nights?
Suppose he just howls at first? If the
parents are certain he is comfortable
(and a good, healthy yell doesn't be-
! token discomfOrt), then let him fuss or
| howl for time, while the timid parents
go out of the room and stand by the
door holding hands tightly for moral
| support.

absolutely do not need rocking (thougt

young girl, let us say, of 10 falls des-
perately in love with IAN old man
Of 80" The 17-year-old boy is secret
ly enamored of woman who is 20.
On the other hand, the fancieS of an
elderly man often turn to flappers with
out regard for Spring or any other sea-
son of the year. In the latter case age
is intrigued and flattered by youth.
Recently we were permitted to read
the diary of young girl now grown to
attractive womanhood. With the utmost
fidelity she set down those trivial Incl
dents so important to youth and which
when read from the distance of years
appear so foolish. In her memory book
the little girl referred constantly to her
beau ideal whose casual glance stirred
her heart and imagination.
A short time ago she said, There he

It was hard to believe that he was
once regarded as a heart-breaker OF
considerable proportions. The years
make difference.

When finally it became necessary
for civilians to evacuate Amiens, he
slipped away. The hotel servants then
discovered a powerful wireless set In
his room. We handed the informa-
ton to the military authorities and the
man was traced to Paris. He sent no
more wireless messages.
The most striking spy work I en-
countered was in Belgium. The brave
little Belgian army. cooped up in the
tiny bit of Belgian territory left I'M
occupied, had squad of men who went
regularly through the fighting lines and
made their way to Brussels-the heart
OF the enemy territory. They actually
had to pass through the impossible"
German lines before they won their
way into the open country
What tremendous courage those
chaps had! Naturally, many of them
we're caught and shot. But there were
always others to take their places.

crossed into q neutral country where
she was very thoroughly examined to

1t so happened that a newspaper had
come into contact with the princess
