Scarcely had they removed their wraps when a delegation of their fellow townsmen arrived to find out why when they had gone south for two months they had remained only two weeks. y were besieged with questions, and ating herself firmly Aunt Susan confessed. Vell, I was terrible disappointed. I didn’t like it nohow, so we come right home, and I don’t know of a better place.” “Why didn’t you like it, Mrs. Rhodes? | I'm surprised. I heard tell those Southern resorts was just grand,” one of her neighbors suid amid the silence that followed Aunt Susan’s explanation. “Now don’t you talk to me! You folks can’t know what the South's like unless you've been there,” Aunt Susan Maria said and began to tell her troubles. “We thought it was going to be all milk and honey down there, but it wasn’t at all. Of course, I didn’t expect the beds would be any use, and I just took an extra steamer trunk and packed a feather bed in it, so wherever we were Uncle Hiram could have good night’s rest. If it hadn’t been for that feather bed we could never have stood it two nights, let alone two weeks, could we Uncle Hiram?” Uncle Hiram nodded. ‘olks down South don’t know how to eat,” continued Aunt Susan Maria.

I’m quite some hand at ‘500’ and solitary myself, so I kept watch on how she played, but ‘twasn’t no game I'd ever seen. he kept laying little blue chips down on the table that didn’t seem to have no connection with the game.”” H “After a while she looked up and says to | me. ‘Want to hold a hand?’ Of course, I was scandalized and told her I'd got past the hand holding st long ago, and that anyway Uncle Hiram was asleep, and if he could get a mite of rest I wouldn’t think of disturbing him.” “At that she laughed so hard everybody in the car stared, and she asked me if I ever gambled. I told her, ‘No,’ I was a Metho- dist, and wouldn’t think of such a thing.

And the big return they give on your small investment in the form of long wear is going to make you a friend of Rinex for life. Rinex Soles are not rubber, not leather, but a scientific, synthetic product of the world’s largest rubber manufacturer—infinitely better for shoe-soles than either rubber or leather. Rinex Soles wear down slowly, evenly—not in short-lived layers like leather soles of nowadays. They are the shoe-tread of successful men and women everywhere. Modern sons and daughters are being brought up on Rinex Soles. Buy your first pair—either on new shoes or re-soling for old ones— you won't need urging after that. Many thousand first-class stores have new shoes with Rinex Soles in stock. Thousands of repair shops have Rinex Soles for re-soling. The genuine have “Rinex Sole” stamped in the shank. Look for this name. In black, white and tan at first-class shoc-stores and repair-shops.
