But it is at these times that the
faint-hearted begin to reason that the
days for success In "this line are

During those trying times, when it
seemed almost impossible to keep the
wolf from the door, the writer would
meet men in other walks of life with
the big rolls of bills in their pockets,
with flourishing occupations, but
nevertheless, he held on, never losing
an opportunity of making a turn for
the good.
He was rewarded. Some of those
men with the big rolls of banknotes
were not satisfied; they wanted to
make more money, wanted to grow

The beginner must stop and think.
He must notice the little matters. He

To begin with, if your hair is dry,
harsh, given to letting unlovely wisps
of uneven lengths stick out round
your face, and at the nape of your
neck, do not shampoo too frequently.
Instead, shake equal parts OF powdered
orris root and cornmeal into it once
week, and then, with soft, fine in
lants' brush take it all out again.
Some women use merely dry starch
and are satisfied when they see the
powder that went in so white coming
out a dark gray. They know that
their hair has been cleansed. This
process over, dip the finger tips in
olive oil or rub them along piece OF
cocoa butter. Carefully and gently
massage the scalp till every part has
benefited by the emollient. Then,
take another soft baby's brush (not
the one that cleansed your hair), and
brush each Of the six strands into
which you have divided your tresses
many, many times. ..s
The irregularities of length always
found when weak or neglected hair
Is beginning to be strengthened by
care can only be dealt with, almost
hour by hour, after the following
fashion: Have innumerable tiny hair
pins matching your hair. II that is
dark, fine black pins will do. II it is
extremely blond, you should purchase
the tiny silvered invisible pins-they
can be procured. If your tresses are
any of the various shades of brown,
use bronze or gold invisible hairpins.
Curl the recalcitrant locks and then
skewer them to the longer and more
solid masses with these pins. HU
OF course, if you have to make a
hasty toilet curling irons must be re-
sorted to. But soft piece of old
muslin, or kid curler-these are of
various qualities, and the more ex-
pensive are many times worth the diff
terence in price-will produce a more
natural curl and one that stays in
longer. Some people are able to keep
these straying wisps in pretty curls
merely by steaming them. Others
dampen their fingers just before they
begin to dress in the morning and
twist their little bits of hair round
and round the dampened fingers, leav-
Ing them thus twisted for half an
hour. This produces the most natural
and lasting curl of all.
Further remedies for dry locks are

on the curbing, waved an American
flag and shouted "Hurrah for the
American eagle" Col Mitchell, in
command of the regiment, ordered one
OF his men to request the American TO
put away the flag, but before the sol

number of angry civilians pounced
upon him, tore the flag from his grasp
and hurled it into the street. Before
IT could be rescued the flag was torn
and dirtied.
In the free.for-all fight which fol
lowed a number of civilians were in
