The cheap soaps supplied for house- keening are strong with alkali, and their constant use will ruin the best To preserve and promote the w ness and delicacy of the hand tkin, a mild emollient soap containing much oil 18 needed, at least for the toilet. A cake of old ecastile soap, shaved to a powder and then boiled to a jelly, makes a very gentle and thorough cleanger for the hands.

He's a widower, with a boy about five years old, but Bertha said she didn't care, for she liked him anyway. She used to rave about him untfl she made ma and me tired. [ could see from the start thai ma didu: have much use for Lim, and she v arned Bertha that all he was looking lor was some- body to keep house and cook his meals for him and take care of that kid of Doyt said ma was wrong, that d over ears in love with slie wouldn’t hear a word t him. Ma used to call him fireside companion, because or took her anywhere, but just il he n gat aronnd and acted as though he was afraid to spend a nickel, “Last Sunday morning Bertha went out (o the kitchen and asked ma if she would let her have the Heinz fellow to supper that evening. She coaxed around until ma finally said she could ask Lim if she wanted to, but you could see that ma wasn't at all crazy about having him come. “After Rertha had gone out and ma and 1 vwere doing up the work, all of a sudden | saw that ma had an idea, She cliuekled to herself the rest of the moreing, but she wouldn't let me in on the joke.

Ma says ‘All 1 , if you want to get a job as housekeeper, of course you must give your future hoss a sam- ple of your cooking.'

Bertha said that everything was on the stove ready to dish up, and would ma watch things v hile she hus- tled upstairs in order to primp up a; bit? “Ma sald she would, so Bertha beat | it upstairs to doll up for Heinzy. “When we all filed up to the dining room and sat down things looked good to me. While ma was bringing in the dishes she says to Heinzy: ‘I want | you to know, Mr. Heinz, that Dertha cooked every bit of tho supper tonight, s0 i you like it you'll have to give her all the credit for it Heinzy looked over at Bertha with a fat, contented smile and tucked a napkin under his double chin.
