Dear Mrs. Thompson: "a Please
give me a remedy for preventing hair
from falling out. My hair is very dry
and rough.

a black felt hat?

box of candy and she opens 1t In his
presence, should she take a piece out
first and then offer it to him or should
she offer 1t to him first?
90 Do you know any outdoor games
party of young people could play?
Please tell how to play them. We play
such games as pig in the Parlor,
Skip to Maloo" and Happy is the

stories to be printed? Do magazines
buy short stories from unknown au-
thors? How should a person send a
story through mail and what should
she write with the story to explain
who it's from?

% Falling hair is caused by an
unhealthy scalp; the fact that your
hair is dry and rough shows that the
oil glands are not working properly.
Take white vaseline and rub into the
roots of the hair with the balls of the
fingers, giving a rotary motion. Do
not get the vaseline on the hair any
more than is necessary. Massage it
every day and spread it out on your
pillow to air at night.
(2) The best universal cleaner 1
know of is equal parts of alcohol
and ether with a dash of ammonia in
it. Even alcohol and ammonia might
clean the hat. Paint the inside with
diluted glue. Let dry in shape de-
sired.
CD She should offer the candy to
him first.
ca Copenhagen is a good outdoor
game. Have a rope held in the hands
of all the persons in the ring. A
player in the center tries to strike
the hands of some person, who by
rapid movements back and forth of
the rope tries to prevent him from
hitting them. When he succeeds in
striking the hand she must get under
the rope and try to catch the player
in the ring.

known writer's to get a start. 1t
does no harm to try. Manuscripts

sary to do anything more than say in

New York, Nov 25.-Albert Ganauln
Wheeler, Jr., isn't making so much
money as he was, and would like to
quit paying alimony entirely. This
is in part the explanation offered by
his friends for his determination to
get an absolute divorce. He filed suit
last week. His wife is known on the
comic opera stage as Claude Carl
stedt
Since the Wheelers separated in
1910 they have continually fought each
other in the courts, the wife generally
being the aggressor. The couple were
married in 1898, when Miss Carlstedt,
known as the girl in the rosy tights"
was appearing at the Herald Square
theatre as the prima dona of the
Frank Daniels company. Young
Wheeler had met her in Chicago,
where his father was a partner of The
late Charles T. Yerkes in constructing
subways.
Miss Carlstedt's talent advanced her
from the chorus, and at the time of
her marriage she was appearing in the
chief roles of 1.-The Mandarin" 1.-The
Idols Eye" and "The Wizard of the
Nile"
The pair separated in 1910 and Mr..
Wheeler placed advertisements in the
newspapers saying he would not be
responsible for debts incurred by his
wife. Mrs. Wheeler two years later
sought a legal separation, which she
obtained after a long trial. She testi-
fed that her husband was enormously
wealthy and told her they could spend
100000 a year without touching the
principal of his fortune. She was
awarded $4,000 a year alimony.
Miss Carlstedt, as she prefers to be
called, returned to the stage Her hus-
band succeeding in reducing the ali
mony after a series of hearings, in
which he swore that he was making
little money through his stock eX--
change connection. The amount he
was ordered to pay was finally set at
$500 a month.
Last March Mrs. Wheeler an
nounced that she would sue her IA
ther-in-law for s1,OOO,OOO for alternating
