The next thing that men resent in lllllYl'l‘t\i-{C is the ILZEKHIE 0f their wives.

it makes every man

same old theme and never to be able to say

at that.

It is the never-ending fault-finding. the C persona. habits and tastes. the eternalflwvhy did you do that?” that turns marriage into purgatory for innumerable men. man is more afraid of his wife's tongue than he is of anything

1 nag he will forgive every other sin in

And still another thing that men resent in [is monotony. Its lack of pep. That wasn't what

THE LARGE FAMILY

Where the large family is com- pelled to share one bath room, it is sometimes advisable for the older members to kee their towels and face cloths in eir own rooms. It will make the bathroom seem more tidy without so many towel racks and it is almost the onlv possible way to insure your towels against being used at some time by the smaller members.

Isn't it annoying when your iron sticks to the rtarched clothes? It ne~d'tl Add a teaspoon salt to your diluted starch and you will find ironing the smoothest pleasure imaglnab‘e. ‘ ‘

‘Here's a simple way of cleaning upholstery: Dissolve a tablespoon borax in a bowl of warm water. Rub the furniture with a sponae in the direction of the weave with firm strokei. Rinse the sponge in clean water frequently. Your upholstery will keep clean much ‘longer and the colors will be

rlghter. ' ‘

A grease. spot on the page of a valued book nan be removed bv placing several sheets of white paper under the offending spot and sprinklinq burnt magnesia on bop.

A few hours later. wipe the spot zentlv with a cloth moistened with benzlne and your page will be spoiiesslv clean.

Drawing after him a swirl of cigar smoke. Ward disappeared, leaving Allenby a bit: gasping and for the first time understanding the unique exhilaration which “big business" affords some men. No doubt now that these men were in this affair, heart and soul. He was wondering whether Sir George Pa-kenham would be cast in a. alm- ilar mould when a faint rap sound- ed on his door giving onto the veranda. v

Alienby was up in a flash, closed the hail door and sped to his room's tail French. door. There. to his surprise, he discovered Patricia, clad only in a bathrobe and night- gown, anxiously awaiting him.

As she went out; Patricia turned. treated him to an enigmatic smile. then returned to her room. leaving

Almost at once the door opened and to Allenby's surprise young James appeared with Ward and his brcther-in-law.
