Sabron closed his eyes, the creases

into humming a tune which Miss Red.

Tremont came up to him.
“I remember you,” SBabron sald. “You
have been near me a dozen times
lately.”
“You must not talk, mon vieux.”
“But I feel as though I must talk a
great deal. Didn't you come for me

makes the following general comment:
“In furnishing a home the housewife
should give most careful thought to
the beds and their equipment. We
spend at least a third of our lives in
bed, and it is worth while to make
that third pleasant and refreshing. The
best mattresses and springs are none
too good when one is storing up
strength for some work. Besides, as is
the case with most household pur

Dolly Vardeiw styles, which have not

with these styles of former days, and

When Washing Hair,
To prevent tangling, when washing
the hair, at the last rinsing float the
hair out straight in the water, then
comb it out while dripping, and it will
not tangle and pull out as it does when
dried before combing.
