we've got a little girl at our house
who would just charm you. See here,

The result was Roslyn promised to

years. This little daughter of his,
1 should judge, must be about eight
years Of age. Now, what would be
an appropriate gift?"
That was really puzzling enigma
for Roslyn. He was twenty-eight, but
knew little of feminity. His training
had been all business and to a de-
gree he had grown prim and precise.
He was shy, so much so that when he
went into department store and ap-
preached the handsome brunette in
charge Of a toy counter, he hemmed
and hawed in decided flUster.
The young lady smiled encourag-
ingly, for ROslyn was well-grOOmed,
handsome man, although he had
never stopped to think of it. He
stated the object of his call in gen.
eral terms.
Child, girl-about how old, iow?"
prOpOunded the pretty saleswoman.
"Oh, l should think about eight"

sisted the vivaciOUs miss. Its the
latest thing in dolls"
Roslyn had seen dolls before, but
never one like this. Face and dress
were radiant and fairy-Iike. Its eyes
opened and closed and it's hands
moved.
Let me show you," proceeded the
clever young woman, and she wound
up some phOnograph mechanism
skillfully concealed within the body
of the doll. A lisping baby-Iike voice
recited audibly and charmingly,
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
"And again." added the saIeswo-
man, and the doll sung, Cherries Are
Ripe" -Four other records go with
the outfit" continued the young lady.
"As you see, the lips move and at a
little distance it is quite a pheno-
menon."
ct is, indeed" agreed Roslyn.
How much?"
Eighteen dollars and One-half."

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruff
Dissolve Il. That's Best Way

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy 1t entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning
most If not all of your dandruff will
be gone. and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
II you want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff.
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall OUT. but it makes
it stringy, st-aggly, dull, dry. brittle
and lifeless, and everyone notices it.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.
