Washing machines with liquid soap can be hired for 25 cents u: hour. There is hot water and mang- ling and ironing can be done for an additional payment of a few cents. Already a. crowd of ‘regu- lars’ attend each week and so these London bachelors have now formed a “Soap Suds Club!" So far it is a bachelor affair so the married men need not be afraid their wives will confront them with a largo laundry basket full of clothes say- ing "Come along now‘. off to the baths-don't yoirknow it's Wash- in; Evening?"

Before varnishing prepare s sudsy water, add to it a good portion of cleanser that dissolves grease quick- ly, and which will erase the dirt and stains easily, without scratch- ing the surface of your linoleum. Scrub well and let it dry thor- oughly. An absolutely clean sirr- facc should be left for the new coat. Apply varnish as directed. Allow to dry thoroughly. Clean polishing rags must be used and changed frequently.
There is a special paint for this type of work, that will give good service for a long time.

"I'll say I remember that cold- and Aunt Barr's bedside visit! That was the day she talked mat- rimony. No wonder 1 ran a tem- perature. Here-here's the way she went on."
Ten Parker had g flair for im- itations. He jumped to his feet, dragging the couch cover about ihlm for a shawl, pcrehing Miss Penfields dank glasses on the bfldgb of his‘ boyish nose. With the shawl trailing behind him he minced up and down the narrow office, imimlckinz his aunt.
April was half vexed, half laughing. “Did your aunt seem to have a. special girl in mind?” “Mmm-no-I don't believe so." Ten dropped the couch cover, re- stored the glases to their case; “As to my behavior,’ he rattled on, "I trhink I'm a saint. Do you realize I've endured two weeks of this? Aunt Buzz, though she pre- tends she's so fond of me, is watching for an excuse to keep me from getting that money, I could sue her in the courts, but she knows I won't. I'd tell her to keep her darned money-if it weren't for Mother. She's flab, broke. Romember last year, April, how Mother and Clara were all set for a world cruise‘- and Aunt Buzz dished me? Well they had to give it up. of course. I heard plenty about that." The boy win- ced. “This summer," he continued. "Clare was invited to loin some of her crowd who were taking a. trip to Norway and Sweden. Mother let Aunt Buzz think Clare's exipenses were paid by the‘, woman who was chapercning the, party, but that wasn't true. Moth- er borrowed the money-l-iei- ex- cuse being that Clara was keen on one of the chaps who was going-s. very recent egg arith. wads of money, Clara gave us the impression she could annex. this e3:- if she had the time."
"I see." April was all interest, scenting romance. "And did they ccme home engaged? Clara's back, I know."
"Oh, yes. Clara's back." Ten grimaced, "with the wrong man. He's s divinity tudent without a_cent. Honestly. April we're in at jam. The loan sharks were coming down on mother, tooth and nail. when I left, and 1 had to sell my car to stave them off. It was s pretty good car, one Aunt Buni- gave me. and she thinks it's laid up for repairs. If she finds out, she'll raise hob. but, what could I do? It was so soon after that other affair. April, you were good to ms that night. I don't believe I ever thanked you properly."
"I'm surs you didn't."
"Well-it might not be too late." Ten opened the door for s. racon- noltering glsnoe along the corrid-' or. Bcmebhlng he saw or heard made him close ths door, but only on the crack. He waited s mo- ment or two. then swooped down‘ suddenly on tho nsuspiclous girl, har bsck turned. l-lc caught April in his arms, and kissed her with. enthusiasm.
"April my dove. my bud. my. little wild flower!" Ten was shouting his endssrments. "April, I ado-re you. I implore you to b: mlnci You love mo? Ah. I sumo! it, 1 was sure of lti You'll mar’?! me? Bay you will? Yes? soon? Ab. sh-whst blisll"
