HER LOVE HAS COOLED, Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been keeping company with a girl for some months and lately she has become very indif ferent and treats me with coolness every time I meet her.

I am sorry for you, hut the girl no longer loves you. Stay away from her. If she doesn't miss you and send for you. then I can offer you no hope. She says you have not offended iter, don't make any more apologies. They are an unnecessary humiliation. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT. Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been keeping company with a young man about a tear, and lately I have been In the hos pital about four weeks, and while In there he went with another girl, and when this girl found out that he was keeping company with me she gave him up. Do you think he loves me? j. f. When a man loves a girl he doesn't take advantage of her misfortune to flirt with other girls.

The grocer told me he was sold out. He offered to send me over some other kind, but I think too much of my clothes and of my health and hands to accept any substitute for Fels-Naptha. ” Anty Drudge, You are perfectly right, my dear. Never risk those just as good’ soaps. Wait here a min ute, and I will get you a cake of Fels-Naptha.” It’s all right to “bake like mother used to bake.” But don’t wash like mother used to wash. 1 hat was the hard way. Mother, her self, doesn T wash that way any more. She has found a better way, the Fels-Naptha way. Instead of boiling the clothes and wearily rubbing them on the board, you place them in cool or lukewarm water, soap with Fels-Naptha, roll tightly and allow them to soak about half an hour; rub light ly, blue and then rinse. our hands don’t crack and get red; your clothes are saved from the wear of boiling and hard rubbing; your family is not driven frantic with steaming, wash day smell and you save about half your time.

"Now. then.” he cried, "huTry nr there's a big factory chimney wants pulling down about a mile away from here, and 1 got the tip from the factory foreman that if we could knock twenty feet of it before the authorities were about it would save the expense of a scaffold, and it would mean a five-dol lar note apiece for you and me." "What-ho!” cried Jim. "Let’s go " Their destination reached, they climbed to the top of the chimney, and soon masses of brickwork were falling to earth. A man who lived near was disturbed by the noise, and started to make a fuss. "Here, Bob,” cried Jim, “you climb down and quiet that fellow. Keep him talking while I finish this job up here' So Bob climbed down and engaged the indignant person In conversation. SuddAly Jim heard Bob calling to him. and, looking down, saw the friend gesticulating wildly and beckoning him urgently to come down. So down Jim came. “What’s the matter?" he asked. "Let's go home, Jim. thundering quick; we’ve been pulling down the wrong chimney!"
