WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
SANS FIRST LOVE
BY CHARLES DICKENS

there were heaped together in o little
corner by the door. 1t was an awkward
corner. You couldn't get at it without
shutting the door first.
Here it is" said the pretty house
maid. "This Is it, amt it?"
Let me look" said Sam.
The pretty housemaid had stood the
candle on the floor as it gave very
dim light. Sam was obliged to do down
on his knees before he could see wheth-
err it really was his own hat or not.
1t was a remarkably small corner-and
so--it was nobody's fault but the mans
who built the house-Sam and the
pretty housemaid were necessarily very
close together.
Yes, this is it." said Sam, and as
he said it he dropped the hat that
had cost so much trouble in looking
for it.
How awkward you are" said the
pretty housemaid. You'll lose 1t again
if you don't take care"
So. just to prevent his losing 1t again,
she put it on for him.
Whether it was that. the pretty
housemaid's face looked prettier still
when it was raised toward Sans, or
whether it was the accidental conse-
quence of their being so near to each
other, it is a matter of uncertainty to
this day, but Sam kissed her.
"You don't mean to say You did that
on purpose?" said the pretty house,
maid. blushing.

But I will now
So he kissed her again.

over the banisters.
Coming, sir" replied Sam, rushing

How long you have been!" said Mr..

There was something behind the
door sir, which prevented our getting it
open for ever so long, SIR" replied Sam.
And this was the first passage of Mr..
Weller's first love.

There are so many cases Of mental
trouble that are called just lease Of
nerves" that 1t is well to call attention
to the fact that there are serious men,
tai disorders that are not just nerves"

much the same type of symptoms.
This is such a case. ANY Of the
symptoms described might occur in a
case of nerves.; but occurring as they
do in connection with other symptoms
which only a trained specialist could
adequately determine. they make pic
ture of a brain that Is abnormal. Such
a brain, often just by the stress OF
years, reveals the flaw, the something
(not always definitely KNOWN that
means mental abnormality.
One OF the familiar examples Is
epilepsy. An epileptic is born with q
brain that under stress or merely in
the course of growth is subject to GER
tain types OF attack, commissions and
mental symptoms. Beyond this we
know little, nor can we hold out cure
for epilepsy. only prescription of a
course of life which may best suit the
condition. Other mental disorders run
their downward course, In some in

When you may find much the same

not to be alarmed by the knowledge.

tween evidence of an abnormal nervous

Search for Bargains i'm Remnants
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Recently a woman assured me that
el1e never bought remnants Of materials
because she was convinced that mer-
chants arranged to have materials cut
up into odd lengths for the sole purpose
of satisfying the demand Of women who
thought they got bargains in that way.
She felt satisfied that one paid Just as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-14

much for remnants as for goods by the
yard, and eventually more because there
was never any good use to which they
might be put.
OF course merchants don't arrange
to have perfectly good materials cut up
for remnant sales. Nothing could be
more absurd than that, and of course
one pays considerably less for short
lengths bought at remnant sales than for
goods by the yard. But they aren't al
ways bargains at that. In order to
make them we'll worth while you should
plan beforehand Just what sort of ma
terials you can make use of and in what
lengths, and then hunt around until
YOU find them. For instance, from any
attractive figured silk you may make a

Blackheads and Smooth Skin.

Dear Miss Leeds: Cd What can do
30 remove blackheads and make my
skin smooth? ca How can reduce
fat legs? I. C. E.
Answer.-Q) Blackheads are OBJ
structed oil glands. The natural oily
secretions have become mixed with face
powder and dust from the air. The
only way to overcome the condition is
to keep your skin clean by using plenty
of soap and warm water. Lather and
rinse your face several times before the
final rinse In cool water. After cleans
ing out the blackheads you should use
an astringent lotion or ice to close the
pores. Besides these local treatments
you must avoid constipation, eat wisely,
drink six or eight glassfuls Of water
daily between meals and exercise out
doors every day. Never apply new
makeup over old, but cleanse the skin
thoroughly before putting on a fresh
coat of face powder or rouge. CD Walk
hriskly five miles day.

 Forthwith the U. s. marshall and commissioner at Kodiak station must charter mOtorship for long journey, summon witnesses and hold insanity in : vesgation and bang gees another thousand dollars of Uncle Sam's money

YAKUTAT TRAPPERS HAVE GOOD SEASON;

Good fur catches are being :.iade by trappers at Yakutat and the community Is fairly prosperous, according to E. M. Axelson, United States Commissioner there. He arrived yesterday on the Admiral Rogers and will remain here for about two weeks.
 The village has been more fortu- nate than most of the communi- ties in Southeast Alaska this win ter, MT. Axelsop said. It has so far escaped a visitation from the influenza which swept over the district several weeks ago.
 Yakutat is anxious to secure a radio station and wants a short road built from tho village to the cannery, MT. Axelson said. He has petitions on these projects which will be presented to the Alaska Legislature which convenes here March 4.
