When sloes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sen- eitive nerveand youget a shock of pain. •Instead of trimming your corns, which Only make them grow, juststep into any drug store and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freezone. This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet, A few drops applied directly upon a tender 'aching corn stops' .the , soreness instantly, and soon the corn shrivels up so it lifts right out, rootand ail, without pain.

There were twelve high-backed rock- ing eliairs on the boarding house ver. anda, and to each of those chairs sat a woman, varying In age and figure all the way from the six-year lassie, who 'sat bolt uprigbt, with her chubby bare legs crossed tailor fashion tinder he as she laboriously plied the stitches o a wash cloth with her rosy finger down, or rather up, to Mrs. Van de Hayden, who looked as we who hav never seen a duchess at close rang imagine duchesses of three -score an more all do look—portly and haughty and serene. She was knitting an avi- ator's helmet. All hi all, there •were twenty-four needles elickingneand, save when some one stopped to count stitch- es, there were half as many tongues gently wagging, No wonder, then, that the two un- attached males whom unkincl fate had condemned to abide in the one board. ing house in town preferred to smoke their pipes and read their papers on the wooden settle down by the gate of the old house. Except for the fact that they were doomed to share the same bench in this ostracism, there was little in 00M111012 between Gregory Fuller and the other young mare who sought to entertain and impress Greg- ory with his soil conquests in his home town. Still, when the young man went for a week -end to that home town, pre- sumably to score a few more triumphs, Gregory felt doubly oppressed in his ostracism; and without knowing just how things stood between Gregory and Margery Drake—the little twenty -year- old school teacher that sat up there in the third chair from Mrs. Van der Hay- den and knitted sleeveless sweaters- -you might have' wondered why he did not seek. some other place to spend his Saturday afternoon than down there on the hard wooden bench by the fence, with only et. magazine and a ptpe to console him. Down there at least he was unobsdihred, or thought he was, and he could be sure that Margery was safe. He had little reason to, feel jealousy, for, except for his erstwhile companion who had gone home for the week -end, Gregory was about the only eligible male in the community, "Do you know, think there must be something wrong with these direc- tions." It was the shrill treble of Mrs. Jones—the angular blonde lady with the bediamonded fingers who sat next to Margery. "I have followed them raithfully—bound off thirty-two stitch- es for the head, knitted five ribs, and then set on thirty-two stitches again, and will you look at the size of the neck?" Margery beside her compared her own nearly completed sweater with her neighbor% "Mine le just the same size. 1 took it for granted that the rules were yight." "But I can't get It over my head at all," exclaimed Mrs. Smith as she seized Margery's sweater and tried to pull it over her blonde pompadour. course you can't," reproved the duchess, pausing as she counted stitch- es—"twenty-three, twenty-four, twen- ty-five—avith your hair done over a rat of course your head Is larger than a Man's." "You don't suppose do such a thing," gasped Mrs. Smith. "Though I will -admit that ray hair is very thick and that may take up more room. But even if my hair is full, don't you think a man's ears are big and would take the extra room in slipping it on? I al- ways think men's ears are very big." "I 'neve noticed that Mr. Smith's are," suggested the duchess, still count- ing. . "It e could only try. the sweater 012 real man," sighed Mre. Smith. "It's too bad my husband is a travel- ing man. He's the only husband in the house and he is away," • "But there are other men," suggested Mrs. Van der Hayden. • • "Not Mr. leuller," gasped Margery. "Please don't let's ask him." She had seen at least eight paire. nf :eyes cast let the direction of the little wooden bench and its solitarY- occupant. It was too late and Useless to protest for the portly Mrs. Van der Hayden had risen and beckoning with her large, angular hand, she called : "Young man, Mr. Fidler, Will you step this Way ;" and then, feeling that tier word was law, she sank' down into her chair again ; "seventy-eight, • seVenty-nine, " eighty,she counted on. Gregory rose and eame up the steps to the porch and, as the nee:es-lour needles eenvel onci. :mu leer es many pairs of feminine eyes 'were lev- eled Upon hihs, he felt the color rise in his chaeks and under his collar. "You are an iiOtrage-sieed young man, aren't you?" qUeriefl th 4 duchess as if she Were asking new gardener whether he Could cut the grass. • theti will you let thee ladies try their seaters on you?" Then the fitting process began and the only consolation that mine to Greg. ory WAS the knowledge that Margery wile Mashing confusedly and because he knew that the first sweater that was tiled on hitt Was Made by Margery'd fair hands. "Yes, X think his ears stick out bit, too," commented Mre. "Van der Ytay, den.

""Would yon awfully mind taking off your shoe," n quiet little lady in black piped up. ''Pm riot at all sure about the length of this soek," Gregory wits still obliging. and tried several Mira of socke and then a air of wristlets, and Mo. Veen r, s, e said cheerfully. "You have seemed so lonely down there. Oh, would yon awfully mind holding my next skein of yarn? 1 can use the in* of a chair, but I'm sure You would be lots more intelligent *bout keeping out the knots," "Thank you," murmured Gregory, end as he looked up at 1,1argeres face he caught Just the suspicion of a twinkle in her soft brown eyes. Perhaps it took as Innen courage fdr Gregory to do what he next did as anything he had ever done before lo his life—for it does take more courage than some men possess to filly Rib' first words to the girls they tole when some quarrel, groundless or otherwise, hale broken the cord of their friendship..

Ther were more socks and sweaters to b tried on and more yarn to be woun for the other women in the twelv chairs. And so passed Gregory's Sat urday afternoon. Somehow he managed that evenin to ask Margery to stroll around th block with him, and then they sat to gether on the little wooden bench b the gate. "Thank fortune tomorrow's Sunday,' Gregory said. "You won't have to kni then and perhaps I can get you to g up the river—a little picnic would b good fun this time of the year." "But we can knit for soldiers on Sun day," insisted Margery. "Even Mr Van der Hayden says so. Tfer ministe told her it made a difference." "She's a cool proposition," Gregor murmured. "Yes, there are always people 111c her in every boarding house," replied Margery. "So much the worse for boarding houses," was Gregory's rejoinder "Somehow I feel that if it hadn't been .for those women, especially that duchess, you and I would have made up long ago. But with their eyes on us, how could we? Margery, do you think iny ears are so awfully big?' This with an emphasis on the "you' that indicated that no one's opinion but Margery's counted, "Boarding houses are dreadful," Margery cooed after assuring Gregory that his ears were ideal. "Then don't let's live in 'em any more. Let's get married and have a cottage of our own." "Gregory, how lovely 1" About that tittle the portly duchess clad in her black china silk bath robe tiptoed across the hall to Mrs. Smith's room, • Mrs. Smith was removing the rat from her bountiful blonde hair. "It's done," exclaimed the duchess, "I knew it when he started to wind her Tarn and they're sitting out on the wooden bench now. Well, I'm mighty glad.' A boarding noose is no place for young people like that any, way." "It takes you to be a match maker," sighed Mrs. Smith, and then, as she brushed out the golden switch that she had just unpinned, "you were a wretch to tell them all I wore a rat. But forgive you .this time." .01 , Lime Water. Lime water does not look unlike the oidinary fluid which comes from the faueet. It is mildly bitter in its taste and its properties are antiacid and astringent. It is because of • this antiacid or alkaline property that it is given in milk or plain water when there is a tendency to sour stomach, 'nausea or vomiting. The sour or acid condition is corrected ,and a slightly' tonic and soothing effect exerted. . Illness one has an opportunity to get pure, clean lime, it is a better to buy lime water than to try to make it, as It is very inexpensive.
