folding before her like a dusty rib
bon. carried her farther from the
scene of the mornings tragedy.
The April wind, sweeping before it
warm gusts of perfume from the
blossoming orchards, dried her tears.
1t was very still and sweet in the
solitude she had gained, with wide
spaces of blue sky overhead and on
each hand the rose white of myriad
apple trees, shining with bridal
splendor. Bird voices, tuned to
blithe friendliness, futed down the
fragrant wind, and amid the fresh
green of springing grass dark vio-
lets purpled the shadows. Very far
away, plurned with the smoke of
unseen industries, peaceful hills
walled the horizon.
Then. all at once, joy, borne like
a blossom on its bough, of sweet
airs and warm sun, awoke within
her young breast. Vaguely self
reproachful, she strove to make real
and vivid once more the years of her
solitary childhood, passed in the
large, dim rooms of Grandmother
Selden's gloomy old house. Seated
upon an embroidered footstool in
close proximity to her grandmother's
black skirts, she had learned to sew
a petticoat for Ethelinda. There
were tall evergreens outside the
heavily draped windows, she re-
membered, where the wind seemed
always to be blowing with solemn,
murmurous sound. Sometimes a
bird sang, the same staccato notes.
over and over, while she labor
ed with small, moist fingers to
thrust the needle through the stiff
cloth.
After her legs had grown too long
for the footstool she sat in a chair
at Grandmother's side and stitched
long white seams and studied lessons
to be recited later to a thin, sad
lady, also clothed in black. The
lady, whose name was Mrs. Semple,
wore a black locket on thin gold
chain about her neck. Once she
opened it and showed Rose a stiff,
prim little flower made of different
shades of hair under its small oval
of glass. Rose had thought it very
beautiful, with its pale yellow center
and the tiny brown and black leaves
surrounding it. The yellow was cut
from her baby's head, Mrs. Semple
explained tearfully; the brown was
that of her two older children and
the black her husbands. All were
dead, long, long ago.
The wind in the tall evergreens
filled the dim room with solemn
sound. Life, Mrs. Semple concluded
in a minor voice, was a vale of
tears, through which all must pass.
She patted the little girls hand very
kindly, and sighed.
Rose told Ethelinda about it in
whispers. One could say anything
to Ethelinda, who was always to be
found rigidly erect, her blue gaze in
front, on chair in Roses bedroom.
Then she picked up the old doll

COMbING WON'T RID
HAIR Of DANDRuFF
The Easiest and Best Way Il t.
Dissolve Ii.

The only sure way to get rid of dand.
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy il
entirely. To do this, get about foui
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; appl,
it at night when retiring; use enough tc
naoisten the scalp and rub it in gentl,
with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
If not all, of your dandruf will be gone
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, nc
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, ~fustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, dc
by all means get rid of dandruff, for
nothing destroys the hair mor quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes il
fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly,
dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and every
one notices it. You an get liquid arvon
