Offices As Hard On Hands As Kitchens Women who do housework and those who handle carbon paper in offices have t0 take special care of the hands and finger-nails. Dust and the grime are among the worst enemies of the cuticle. When you have finished the break, fast dishes (use bland soap flakes or powder) cover your hands and wrists with a thick hand crsam or plain olive oil and put on rubber gloves. Modern rubber gloves are so thin that they are in no way cumbersome. The office worker who can't wear rubber gloves during the day ought to cover her hands with cream and should wea" old cotton gloves at least two nights a week. The cream does Its work while she sleeps. Also she must remember to wash her hands frequently--certainly always after changing a typewriter ribbon, using carbon paper or reading proofs. Keep a piece of fresh lemon or a bottle of lemon juice on the bathroom shelf and use it to remove stains on fingertips.

Maud Barron and Hughes return to England. Dr. Foster gives Maud his address in case of need. He receives a telegram informing him "The Ghost" has reappeared. CHAPTER IX WHO STOLE THE PRINT? Where was William Hughes Dr. Foster stared at the unruffled cover and pillow, but he had no time to waste. He wheeled, put out the light, closed the door and dashed downstairs. He had t0 unlock the front door, and by that time he knew it was useless to try finding the thing he had seen. He stood for a little while on the top, broad step and look, ed in every direction. There was not a sound, not a sign of anything that disturbed the quietness of the night. The lawn was dark, and the only thing he heard was the light breeze among the trees beyond the garden. He shrugged his shoulders and went indoors. It was a long time before he to bed, however. The first place he went when he mounted the stairs the billiard room. He pushed open the door. The place was empty, but the first was still burning. He went to the window and looked out, then stood wondering. Miss Mon-teith had gone to her room apparently. Poster ran his fingers through his hair in perplexity. Then he tur ed out the fire and went to his ov apartment. He was up early and came down breakfast before the others we strring. His first duty was to see Maud Barron, and he waited until Mrs. Gibbs came down to report. Maud had passed a restless night, but she was much better. He went up to see her as soon as possible. "There are one or two things J want to mention to you, Miss Bar. ron," he said, "and I don't want any. one present when we talk. Nov.', please don't dstress yourself, but remember that I am working for you." He told her that he had cabled One-eye, and she agreed with him in this. Then he asked the question that was in his mind. Did the face of this apparition in any way semble the features of the man with whom her father had quarrelled She wrinkled her brows before she answered. "Yes," she said definitely. " I understood that you knew that. • But though the resemblance was there, at the same time there were exag-geratons. But, on the whole, the an-er is yes. Was not tha. just the ■y point that my father insisted 'I remember, but I wanted to be sure. Now, in what way was there any exaggeration? Please try to think. "For one thing the face of the ipectre is a larger countenance, much larger. It is greenish in colour. But mainly the resemblance was brought home to my father and to me in th< ,r that ran down from the left ey< to below the mouth. That was one of the curious facial marks of the man. It,disfigured him. When he angry, so I have heard father say, he looked like a demon. inkling up of his face rage would have the effect of em. rhasising the scar, and the scar ac-j ted on the muscles. I can understand | that. There is just another thing. I I want you to promise that you will never go out alone--not even in daylight." "I will promise that at once. As for night time I will not stir across the door." She shivered as she spoke. Foster rose to go, but at the door he paused. "I suppose that you have a master key to all the bedrooms?" "There is one. It is in the possession 0f the housekeeper. Why?" "I may need to use it, Miss Barron. Have I your permisson to do so, provided I have good reason?" "Of course, doctor, you have a right to do as you want to here. "Well, what did you want me $f "To see the green ghost with 7 Hughes threw back his head and laughed in his throat, a funny that was the cackle of a come "Oh, you mean that time you wei in the wood. Miss Monteith has tol me this morning that you ran into her with your hair on end--" I "Did Miss Monteith say my hair was on end?" "Well, she didn't exactly say so, but I can imagine what you were like." "I wasn't referring to that occasion, Mr. Hughes." "No?" "I was referring to the incident between eleven o'clock and midnight-- nearer the latter hour, in fact." Hughes wheeled. (To Be Continued) Hymn Singing In The Past Writer in Boston Transcript Recalls Fervor with Which Gospel Tunes Were Rendered The Boston Transcript says thae devil is getting too many hymn tunes! No good ones are being written: "Many a man and woman going down the sunset side of life's divide, recall vivid childhood impressions of the fervor with which worshippers in meeting-houses used to sing the long-familiar hymns, especially when the tune was good. With what war-like roaring the grave men, with long-beards and shaven upper lips, lifted up their voices when singing Luther's 'Ein Feste Burg.' How ecstatically the women, in voluminous skirts with sleek bandeaus of hair drawn over their ears, dwelt upon the crescendo, the dying fall and the refrain of a hymn like Cowper'a 'There is a Fountain Filled with Blood.' "This hearty joy in the Gospel tunes in some way made up to the singers for the repression of world-liness during the week. Their lives were in the main drab and uneventful. They were emotionally starved. They might not dance. Th.', n^. , T not go to the circus or'"to ; ' tre. Playing cards was forbidden. There was moral death in a mug of '. The game of authors in winter, croquet in summer, summed up the sanctioned secular reactions.

All you have to do is to neutralize the excess stomach acidity. When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, take Phillips' Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed. That's all! Try this. Soon you'll feel like aff Take either the ped out. He sauntered do' and asked a maid if Mr. Hughes about. Mr. Hughes had just gone to the garden. Foster went out also. Hughes was strolling about the lawn hands behind his back and pipe in ith. He looked up as P'oster step- Mr. Phillips' "I should like to express my regret that you were not in your room last night when I knocked. I wanted you particularly--" "How did you know that I wasn't in my room?" demanded Hughes harshly, menace in his tone. "Well, I knocked on your door. Were you in?" Hughes reflected for a moment. Bicycle Come - Back Even if we don't seem to use bicycles so much in Canada as in some countries of Europe, still we use s great many, and the numbers are growing. There were 40,000 sold last year, which included about 7, 400 importations. These came al most entirely front the United Kingdom. No other year approached that in the number of sales, except special spending year of 1929, when 1,500 more were sold. The exports are very small. At' the beginning of the depression years there was quite a noticeable falling in sales, but they picked up in 1933 and in 1934 the production by Canadian firms was double what it is two years before. Less than one hundred years ago, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, was the first to make it possible to preserve a continuity of motion on a two-wheeled, single track vehicle without touching the ground with the feet. The modern bicycle has grown out of Macmil-invention. There were various stages in the development and tucked away in many an old Canadian garret may be found samples of the high-wheeled contraptions on which young men in smart knickerbock-er suits used to ride out into the country. Bicycle clubs with distinguishing colors were part and parcel of youthful summer activi- Woollen Dresses Decrees Fashion Fur to t Match Top Coat Popular as Trimming Stylists Say New York--Woollen dresses with touches of fur are the smartest fashions of the momenta--handsomely tailored, warm dresses to be worn without a topcoat now and, later, under a winter coat. If you have a fur coat, it's a good idea to pick a dress that's trimmed with the same kind of fur. Choose a color that will harmonize with whatever winter coat you intend to Besides black, which is good, of course, you'll find luscious tones of wine and rust, Oxford gray, rich blues, ginger browns and various greens that you'll like. A perfectly straight coat dress is slenderizing, doesn't require a topcoat and always makes you look \ well groomed. One particularly nice I one, comes in heavy grey woollen with a diagonal stripe of white. It's trimmed with large button's covered with grey Persian Iamb and a Persian lamb Ascot that slips through a slit^at the front and crosses at the back. A hat to wear with it is trimmed with matching fur. Another dress is a variation of the shirtwaist theme in black woollen in a diagonal weave with black Persian collar and cuffs. A green and black striped velvet Ascot is tucked into the neckline. Square buttons and belt buckle are interesting details. A black felt hat is trimmed with fur to match. Daytime necklines seem to be getting higher. Coat, two-piece and tunic styles cover practically all of the throat. Even when the V neckline is fairly low, there generally an Ascot to be worn across it. If you aren't interested in i trimmings, look at braided details in the military manner. A dress of black woollen, with front full] has red veleveteen Ascot and braid in a matching shade of red four patch pockets. Another frock perfect for week-ends in the country, football games and the office includes a plum colored woollen skirt and a slim blouse, lavishly broidered with military braid ii deeper shade of plum. If you look wel! in tunics the Cossack lines flatter your figure, a woollen or velveteen suit with plain skirt and tunic coat is a practical addition to a wardrobe. With a tailored blouse, it will see you through the daytime hours. With a dressy one--perhaps or pleated chiffon--you can wear it to tea and din- Green tea drinkers will find a sheer delight in the exquisite flavour of Salada Japan tea. Try a package.

"A Pound of Enters Please," Will Be Michigan Order Detroit, -- Michigan housewives, scarcely recovered from six days of world series baseball excitement, recoiled from a fresh shock when they learned that after November 1st, eggs will be sold by the pound--not by the dozen. The order revolutionizing the egg buying habits of the entire state came from James Thomson, agricultural commissioner. He pointed out that after the change goes into effect dealers will have to grade their eggs according to size and quality. "Housewives will then be able to get what they pay for," said the commissioner. English Girls Are Healthy; Americans Are Decorative New York -- American girls are decorative, but English girls are healthier, Prunella Stack, president of the Health and Beauty League of England said as she sailed for home after organizing branches in Canada.

Many who write to me tell that it is not easy to get down talking things over. They are : sure whether the other person t listen or talk, and they question their own minds if the other party concerned will be amenable to rea. Well, I know it is not always aE easy matter, but in many of life's problems we discover that the difficult way is more often the right way. The line of least resistance dom leads to a true and satisfactory solution of our problems. Indeed, more often it only tends to complicate matters and make our problem more difficult of solution. I have always been a believer in talking things over quite frankly when there is a difference between two friends, and especially if friendship is a close one. Experience has taught me that it is the best way, and I have known many a home saved from becoming a wreck through a heart-to-heart talk between husband and wife. That is why I recommend it so often. One of my correspondents se to have got into a ra;her difficult position. She claims that she is the victim of malicious gossip and, from her letter, I think she is letting it play too much on her mind. She writes: "If only I were able to confide in my husband it would make matters much easier for me, but this I am unable to do". As I read those words, I was conscious of myself asking "Why " and of saying to myself "There is something wrong when a husband and wife cannot confide in each other." I think that would be the natural reaction of most folks. This woman may feel that there are reasons why she cannot confide in her husband, but I am inclined to think that these are only the result of a process of rationalisation leading to the setting up in her of what psychologists call a "mental defence mechanism", and by this she is unconsciously trying t0 excuse herself from an obvious and plain duty. If this matter is such that it is likely to reflect upon tirs woman's husband or home--and it appears that it is--then, whether she is in the right or in the wrong, it is her duty to acquaint her husband. If she is in the right and is being wronged, so much the better, it should be easy for her to tell him. But if she is in the wrong, then she should make a clean breast of the whole matter, show her sincere repentance, and ask his forgiveness. That is the only way. Otherwise she will just go on repressing the matter and repression will only lead to further complications. Be-ides, it will work havoc in her own inner thought life. I bhnk her husband will respect her confidence. He may be annoyed at the moment. That is to be expected. ie will be even more annoyed if the nformation reaches him from some )utside source. When he has got over his momentary annoyance he will ad-her all the more for her courage and frankness. After all, this marriage business is a partnership and, if the partnership is truly based on love, then there should be a mutual sharing of sorrows and burdens as well as of joys.

Potatoes . Ideal Source of Energy London--One of the most important sources of energy in a mixed diet is the potato. It is a rich source of many of the necessary mineral salts. These are facts stressed by Dr. H. K. Archbold in a booklet, "The Potato as an Article of Diet," issued by the Potato Marketing Board. For slimming, it is said, potato constitutes the ideal carbohydrate. "A very satisfactory diet" would be fish, eggs, and potato;-, eaten as' desired. "Opinion is united that potatoes are best cooked in their jackets or steamed, next comes frying and lastly boiling, states Dr. Archbold. "In preparing potatoes by peeling as much as 20 per cent, of the tuber may be unnecessarly wasted, and ... the outside layers which are cut away are more nutritive than the Recently one observer lived for four years on a diet consisting chiefly of potatoes and milk.
