It quickly passes away.

If men can't live with them, they are less able to live without them, but the less a woman weighs in avoirdupois, the more often she has her own way. The first time a woman loves, it is for what she gives; the next time for what she can get. Jas. Pequegnat & Son OPTICAL DEPARTMENT In charge of C.R. Nimmo, D. Opt.

DONALDSON, Manager Got Away Without m= nese ay RAL | His Noon Day Wash | The Mirror's Business rectory Did you ever notice that dirty children are usually the healthiest, and most of them are happier with a dirty face than a clean one. In fact, a boy rarely goes to his mother or big sister, to ask one of them to wash his face, or even sew a rip, but little Johnny is always kept immaculate, and when he got away the other day without having his face washed or hair combed he was pleased. His sister called to him before he got far away, but he seemed to know what she wauted. At the sound of her voice he im- mediately set to washing his face, and in fact had to borrow some more juice from his chum, and between them they made a good job with the ordinary thing called spittle. His face was a good deal better for the rub, after he had dried it with his coat sleeve ; and outside of the fact that he chad eggs for dinner, he made a good job; but hens get a lot of adver- tising that way even with older people. There are parents who are as gentle as a lamb, who will take a rough towel and lather it with so sequently they ordeal, and you This is noticed more particularly where there are seven or eight childreu to wash, as they must be turned out from the scrubbing de- partment in a hurry, for even three minutes could not be spared per child. That would take twenty- one minutes for seven, but where there is only one to be washed it is different. There is special soap and the softest towel, and the little face that is as smooth as monu- mental alabaster, is handled as get to hate kisses, but as this event becomes more common place, the juxta- position of the oblique muscles is brought to a state of contraction much more quickly, and a number of married men perform this func- tion as automatically as they push a button, but they don't get much practice touching buttons uow.
