DANDRUFF SOON
 RUINS THE HAIR
Makes It Lifeless, Dull, Dry,
 Brittle and Thin.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruf is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entire ly. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, Of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will be silky, fluffy, lus- trous. soft, and look and feel a hun dred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is in expensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dan dru1f you have. This simple remedy never fails.

During the evening refreshments of candy, sandwiches. cake and coffee were served and during refreshments the guests were unexpectedly reminded of the date and the fact that sur prisers may also be surprised The in terior of apparently dilicious chocc- lates and very attractive and tempting cakes proved the truth of the words of the poet: Things are not what they seem.

The party broke up at a late hour, having both brought and received genuine enjoyment.
