Lord, if I'd ha' known! Rooming with that miserable, sneaking, flat-footed thief that stole my girl away from me! If I'd ha' known I'd I'd I'd have bought my own shoes yes, sir, and thrown the odd one away!' " o o SHE "CLEANS HOUSE" FOR THE CROWDED CITIES n5ui& iV Evansville, Ind. Having swept the Blums out of the big cities of Indiana and placed a tenement law on the Indiana statute books, Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon returned to her housekeeping duties in Evansville four years ago. But the clubwomen of the country wouldn't let her settle down to housekeeping; they recalled her to the platform, and the author of "Mrs. Bacon's Law" is now the best known campaigner for housing reform in the country.

The inside of the glove should not be spotted with dye, but be even in color and white, or nearly so. If one finds a line of color along the inside seam of gloves one may be sure the gloves have been dyed after making. This is often done to cover up defects in skins. o o COW SW WOK0S 4X C0OJ7ftf:t7ttS 1 m jjg -JjUj -
