Humble Girl and
Self -MaMde Man. ..s>
The story is told of Virginia Blaine. a
girl in humble circumstances who meets
and marries Robert STAFFORD, a self
made man Of great wealth He adores
her, and lavishes everything upon her,
but with his goodness he has one un-
endurable fault. He rs a brutal drunk
ard. Affable. charming, and dignified
when sober. and moving in the world of
business. he is transformed into a brute
when drunk. .. !-.-.-
When unopposed, he can be handled
without trouble but when his anger is
aroused he is little better than a beast.
Virginia has the fault that most WON:
en- possess. Fragile, tender of nature
gentle of disposition, she revofts at his
drunken brutishness, and instead Of go
ing about reforming him In the right
way, she sees only one side Of the con-
dition that manifests itself-her own
She shrinks from his embraces with
loathing and contempt. and on the
morning after one of his miserable
conditions of besotted imbecility and
rage, she ATTEMPTS to force him to
drink alone. He refuses. positively.
Strong. self-willed. accustomed to die
tate to others. he refuses to be ''bul-
lied by woman. and Virginia decides
to leave him.
This foNns a scene that supplies all
the punch that an audience demands

pens to be the first thing that presents
itself. and smashes the panel of the
door of his wife's bedroom. which Vir-
ginia has closed and banged in his

1T may sound paradoxical to say
writes Mae Martyr, in the Los An

women using canthroX in cleansing
tho hair and scalp find their tresses
dry quicker that when shampoo mix
lures are used. Aside from this, 1t

ton and gives the hair it's natural

Next time you wash your head try
