There's the telephone, Excuse me a moment, Bob.” She fitted across the room to the telephone and Bob picked up the old brown book and read the recipe: “Ye Bride's Cake.” Just as he finished and laid the book gently down Nancy came flying across the room, her cheeks scar- iet and her gray eyes stormy, “Why, you should not look at that!” she cried. “It's—personal.” She caught up the book and her copy of the recipe and thrust them into a drawer, which she closed and locked with a vigor In- spired by anger, “I didn't realize that you would care —and, oh Nancy, darling, you don't Nancy was pale now, and one could Bob Everett saw only that What was the “Of course I saw what recipe you | For Eczema, Rheumatism, Gout or Hives Expensive health resorts, sought by thou sands, have grown around springs contain. ing sulphur Hancock Sulphur Compound. utilizing the secret of the famous healing waters, makes it possible for you to enjoy Sulphur Baths in your own home. and at a nominal cost.
