I tl'ff Jnnct Thayer and Walter S ted man I IS ' : had been Ave days on that traditional I Pi ' and hallowed emotional excursion llfilll called a "honeymoon." Being a some-I some-I M I what exceptional pair both belrtff Mm Hit workers, both being accustomed to Ira !' think and to exchange views frankly vJ.IS they looked into each other's eyes Im ' I on tne mh day oC their new life and I fll f said "Why?" I IH i ff Or, rather, Janet said it. Walt sini-f! sini-f! J Pb' grinned it, understandingly. Men, II I lf yu nolIce are usuallv niorc con" ill I ventional than women. Wtt "Now, Waltie, dear," began Mrs. H ' I Walt, settling cozily on the armof her rHIl husband's chair. (Good gracious-alive! gracious-alive! How perfectly funny it seemed mH to have a husband!) "You're not go-m go-m f , ing to misunderstand or think I m ! M bored or disillusioned or or anything 3 1 tra&Ic I 1 suseest that we we go IS 11 home' pretty soon?" If "Well, madam, I shall at least try if ' and control my chagrin," agreed Wal-tj Wal-tj ter with mock dignity. "Proceed with ill If your reasons If you have any." ill "Listen, Walt; I'm really serious llj 1 about this. I'm afraid! Yes, I'm actu-II actu-II 111 ally afraid to have a regular, full-sized 111 PI honeymoon like anybody else's. I Hull wouldn't risk beginning our life toll to-ll p! gether with a surfeit of each others ll ll company. I wouldn't risk boredness. I t!: If I caught you yawning I'd jump out 1 the window and run for the railway ll 1 station. If I caught myself sighing I'd II ll run faster yet. II j "Do you remember the Quintons? I II How they started on their honeymoon If with everything favorable adored I ! I each other, had loads of money, 1 M oddles of time, bunches of romantic ,f If ideals? And how Bob Quinton con- , fessed afterward that they never once Pi spoke to each other on the home- hound railway journey? That they '0 1 1 were so completely talked out, so j J weary of the very sight of each other 1 11(1 that they wanted to spend about six months in separate houses in order to W nil Set interested again? I "Well, I won't have that happen to k us, Walt." And Janet gave her spouse 1 j a vigorous shake by way of emphasis it and questioning, jf "Certainly not; certainly not, dear-I dear-I i est." rousing himself to fresh wonder at his wife's good sense. Surely most 1 I women never thought of such things. M J He had braced himself to the conven-I conven-I tional idea of two or three whole 1 weeks away from the world, away 1 from his work, his cronies, the activi-I activi-I J ties of his accustomed life. I ) To be sure,' these first days had I J j been like the realization of some per-1 per-1 feet dream. But Walter Stedman, like W Jljl the average healthy, busy young man, M found more delight in the realization of perfect dreams if they were not too U prolonged. But before he could reply I I Janet went on: V "i suppose honeymoons have grown i out of a sensible idea to give us a If chance to get intimately acquainted 1 without the intrusion of friends, work 1 or the commonplaces of life. But for I people like us, Walt, whose days are ll lo De ful1 of A7ork outside our home, !fj there will he a sort of continuous H I honeymoon. Just coming home at ll I night, getting nway from the press of II the world, will make each of us a very f) i h&ven of rest and companionship for II the other. We must keep our com-I com-I radeship fresh and interesting just be-gl be-gl cause we shall need it too much later H I on. Why, dear, we shall want to make j our home coming a wonderful daily H adventure. We don't want to get to ll know each other too thoroughly now. fl H For we shall have long, delightful eve-9 eve-9 nings together to talk in and tell each j other about the day's happenings and fl ambitions and plans and things. j "Home is going to be a sweet, dear Ij refuge to us two workaday folks. We Mm sha'n't depend as much as other peo-Hj peo-Hj pie do on outside things like theatres HII and parties and Jaunts. We shall just Hill . want each other and a few friends B like the Temples. Something tells me, Pj friend husband," grinned Janet, com- jj ing around In front of Walter and IJhI bending low to look into his face, ft "something tells me we'd best be quit-flfV quit-flfV ting this dangerous honeymoon and HI! Ct down to practical hustling find-Ill find-Ill ing a home and purchasing chairs and Mill tablecloths." ffj!j "Heaven-sent haus-frau! Helpmeet K of my heart!" cried Walt, jumping up and waltzing this most unusual wife of his around the room. "When s the next train?" CARE OF HANDS. In dusting and sweeping about the house wear loose chamois or old kid gloves, which will keep the dirt from getting Into the pores of the skin. If you have no success with rubber gloves try the following steps to protect pro-tect your hands: Whenever you have had your hands In hot water and strong soap, wash them off afterward with lukewarm water and castile soap and rinse thoroughly in cold water. Then pour a little glycerin into the cup of one hand and rub it well into the skin. If you cool the hands off gradually after every submersion In hot wate rit will keep the hands from getting red, while the glycerin will keep them soft. Lemon juice Is not only the most effective ef-fective skin bleach for the hands, but It is the very best bleach possible for the nails. You will not have to use whitening powders and pastes for your nails If you will make daily use of lemon juice. After you have made your toilet in the morning and evening eve-ning take an orange stick with a bit of cotton wrapped about the tip and dip it into a little lemon juice Go carefully under each nail with ths, rubbing plenty of juice in under the nails. This will give your nails a transparency which cannot be equaled in any other way. Do pay some attention to your hands, even lf you have housework to do, for neglected hands are ugly hands, no matter what their shape may be. |
