As Alice said just before I fainted. "When children come, the marriage is cemented in such a way that what- ever one's personal feelings and in- clinations are, one's duty is imper- ative." I told myself these things over and over, but it meant nething, liter- ally nothing. Beside them in my brain was written all John's neglect of me, and his utter selfishness where I was concerned. 3 i.

It is important that all dust and grime be removed from: any surface, in order to give it that lustre which js something more than a mere surface polish. This O-Cedar accomplishes. A féw drops of O-Cedar on a wet cloth will form a soft lather tnat removes all scum and dust. . : The final operation consists of a brisk rub with a dry cloth. The result is all that could be desired--a hard, dry lustre on furniture and floors; a dazzling radiance on your automobile.
