Some time after the appearance of
the poem there was gossip that Mrs.
Asquith and her husband were to sep

Mrs. .Asquith before her marriage was
an especial ~favorite Of Mr.. Glad

such AZ to gain for young women a
much less restricted position. In spite
Of her disturbing freedom in society
she counted leading statesmen. men of
literary. scientific and musical fame.

the gallery of the house of commons
gave zest to whatever debate was Oh

mystic, semi-literary society called the
Souls. and. with Arthur Balfour as her
lieutenant In the movement. she gath
cred some of the best minds in Eng.
Land about her.
In time the newspapers came seri-

the gay. clever. sarcastic little Philis-

her talents. Mrs. Asquith for severai
years settled down at once to the du-

Mrs. Asquith is the third daughter Of
Q wealthy Scotch mine owner. Sir
Charles Tenant. who made a vast
fortune out of the Tharsis copper mine
In Spain. Her~brother Harold was for
some time private secretary to Mr.. AS.

The FIRST GRAY
HAIR Sign OF AGE
Easy Way To Preserve Natural Color
Of The Hair And Make
Ii Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores gray
hair to natural color. The care of
the hair, to prevent it, from losing its
color and lustre, is just as important
as to care for teeth to keep them from
discoloring. Why spend money for
cosmetics and creams to improve the
complexion, and yet neglect your hair,
when gray hair is even more con-
spicuous and suggestive of age than
wrinkles or a poor complexion OF
the two, it is easier to preserve the
natural color and beauty of the hair
than it is to have a good complexion.

Of the organization over there and it

The matter of growing strawberries
has several times been considered
here, but it has never been under
taken in a commercial way. Too
many instances of successful berry
growing here can be cited, for anyone
to deny that this section is suited to
such crop. 1t is hoped that some
real meritorious plan may be suggest

fruits may be successfully promoted
without signal.
