- fBlL was a blue-eyed doll with gold
en- curls and she had lived all alone
~ for long time in a two-story doll
house when one day, without
saying word to sybil, her little mother
brought a boy doll to live with her.
This Is Jack and he is your hus-
band; he will live here with you," was
all she said, and off she ran, leaving
Sybil and her new husband all alone.
sybil was modest doll and did not
say word for some time and then
she happened Ia think that Jack was
no more to blame than she was and
that very likely he objected to being
forced to live there just as much as
she did having him.
Sybil looked at him out of the cor
ner OF her eye. "He is a nice looking
boy doll" she said to herself, 'and
besides that, this Is my house and /
should be polite to him"
II hope you will like your new home,'
I feel sure I SHALL" said Jack, who
had been looking at Sybil and was very
much pleased with her looks: but II

wedding, instead Of thrusting me upon

There has probably been some chemi-

colored It, although often advancing age
will cause the hair to become very
much lighter. especially at the ends
| There are many simple home remedies

two OF which are as follows: Sulphuret
| of potash, 10 gr.: tncture acetate of
| iron, o.; glycerine, l or; water,
| quart.
Put the ingredients in an open bottle
| and let them stand until the odor of
sulphur disappears. then add ten drops
/ OF oil of bergamont or lavender. Rub
| a little into the scalp daily. Sulphate
of iron restorer: Sulphate of iron, !
| grams; distilled water, l or; California
! claret, ! pit Dissolve the iron in the
water and add to the wine. Allow to
! stand twenty minutes before using,
! then apply thoroughly with soft
| brush and let 1t dry. Cover the hair
with a towel II the mixture Is put on
at night, to keep from staining the
pillow.
