OBSERVATION OR ADMISSION,

(Sherrard Bullettn.)
We wonder how many Of our readers
have noticed the difference between
the man who has been married but a
short time and one who has been mar
ried several years. You can always
tell a young husband from an old one.
When a man has been married few
months, you will generally see him
working in the garden or fixing up
about the house, and while he works he
whistles, or sings, or occasionally looks
up towards the window to see If any
one Is watching him. A year later he
is still working in the garden, but the
smile has been exchanged for a frown,
and he occasionally looks up towards
the house wondering why in thunder
breakfast is not ready. Another year
rolls by, and his looks would sour
milk, but he still is at work, stopping
occasionally to kick the dog or throw
a brick at the cat. The next year We
find him sitting on the front porch
smoking a pipe while his wife does
the digging in the garden. Now just
watch our young men, as one by one,
they are caught in Cupid's net, and
see if this rule does not work out the
problem correctly.

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE Ten
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color Of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made ''sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers in using ''sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As q
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
"sage tea" made by our grandmother.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.

A few nights ago the fire alarm was
sounded, and as II was the first real
fire since the fire company was organ
lied, II was comical to see how the
boys acted up. Dad and Spuds were
the first ones on the ground, and they
got busy tearing down the chimneys.
Robert and Dan arrived next, and they
busted themselves carrying the china
ware from the first floor TO the second
and dumping II out OF the window.
Just about this time a few Of the bach
elor maids arrived with buckets and
soon had the fire under control.

row. sign. On the other hand, should
he steal the papers to satisfy this re-
lentless fiend, Jadwin, he would more
than likely be marching slowly in line
at the gray stone pleasure resort, con-
Quoted under the auspices of the state.
Should he become a thief and stop
fuse to fitch the documents, and allow
Nell-a to hear of his murky past, and
probably get a large, healthy citrus
handed to him? Our hero is surely in
a dreadful quandary, but does he give
up? My goodness, no; never except

ping out into the main Office, he bum
med a nickel for car fare and boarded
a Wrong View car for his sweetheart's
home.
CHAPTER III.
As he sat at ease in the commodious
seat, his knees doubled up against the
front of his wishbone, an 85-pound
meshbag, the property of a wild-eyed
feminine bargain hunter, reposing
gracefully against the bridge of his
nose, and the muzzle of a fat mans
umbrella boring persistently into the
small of his back, Franks thoughts
fitted back to the past, when he had
made his awful mistake. He was but
youth at the time, and had not re
allied the seriousness of his misde

AS the car sped swiftly on at the
rate of one and one-half miles an hour
he tried to frame up his confession

ments of the car and its meager pas
senger list of $50 souls, prevented hin
from gathering his thoughts into &
compact bale. Just as he would have
a sweet and sublime Margaret Sang

to be hog-tied, the car would srear III
on its hind legs, kneel down, roll over
and start to do back flip on the undu

During the stops and short half-hour
waits at switches, although he was not
bothered by the troublesome and play
full antics of the moving car. the chat
ter of the passengers impeded the
mechanism of his dome. But he must
tell her. Better that she should hear
of it from his lips than those of that
terrible fellow, Jadwin, who drank
beer and went to burlesque shows.
CHAPTER w.
The car logged leisurely on, and on,
and then on some more. He sat as
though in trance, half doing, obliv-
ious to all others. He had it all clear
ly in his mind now. He would say,

triAes to use as gifts later. If not

most acceptable and their making means
attractive employment.
Chiffon over contrasting colors and over
gold is liked and makes very charming
bags and often the trimming 10 Of the
little ribbon and chiffon roses that, in
themselves. are quite fascinating. With
white costumes, bags Of white mercer

fashionable and with a white silk lining,
they are very handsome. This same idea

Christmas gift that many Of US make in
midsummer.
Bags Of silk and satin, lace trimmed, ara
very beautiful also and popular. and both
antique gold and antique silver have the
advantage of harmonizing with almost
every costume. The fashion is one that
gives free range to the individual fancy and
taste for trimming and material can be
varied indefinitely. Dainty, flmy bags
are lovely to be carried with dainty COS
tunes. For the bags designed for simple
toilette, embroidery either in silk or beads
on silk foundation is excellent. Very,
very beautiful tribes OF the kind can b0
made without much effort and with q
very moderate expenditure Of cash. One
Of the smartest of the larger bags is made
in much the shape Of the oId-fashioned
purse held by two rings. and it is very.
beautiful made Of taffeta embroidered in
beads. Green with cut steel is handsome
and white satin embroidered with gold
makes a beautiful combination for the
opera, the theatre and occasions Of the
kind.
The vogue Of black and white has ex-
tended even to the bathing suits. Ex-,

taffeta with collar and cuffs Of white ratina
and are worn with caps Of the white ma
