Although frequently accepted as
such, thin, wispy hair does not neces-
sarily indicate approaching old age.
Instead It is more often traceable to
the hair destroying effect of dandruff
and hence becomes a matter of mere
personal neglect.
Incipient loss of hair, with its ulti-
mate chronic form, is not considered
by the majority OF people with suffi-
cient seriousness. Both are looked
upon as inevitable, when as a matter
of fact, there is no more need OF los
ing ones hair or having thin seraggy
locks at 60 than there is at 16.
Proper and intelligent care of the
hair is all there is TO it. To combat
dandruff contagion, loss of hair and
itching scalp. Herpicide Is the logical
preparation TO use.

@OR a Few days after this con-
vcrsatiou tee master OF trans
- portas!on was in doubt as TO
kzi what course ne should pur-
ne. IN the end he did nothing. and
the letter from st. Louis was perma-
rentIy fled away. There We're several
reasons for this action. For one thing.
ne was a salaried man and could not
afford TO lose his JOB What Influenced
him most. however. was his genuine
liking for Anthony.
The first thing Kirk did when pay
day came was TO inclose the greater
part OF his salary in an envelope and
seud IL 10 John Weeks. With 4 note
explaining that be had withheld only
enough FOR his own actual needs, and
promising TO continue reducing his in
debtedness by a Ike amount monthly.
He was surprised beyond measure TO
have the remittance promptly returned.
The brief letter that accompanied IL
brought him a flush OF discomfort
What the deuce had made Mrs. COrt-
Iandt do that2 For a time he was
undecided whether TO be offended at
her conduct or Gratified. and he had not
settled the matter 10 his satisfaction
when he called upon her that evening.

wsrdly. I'm tremendously obliged. OF

II" lHESE We're busy days for the
Cortlandts. They entertained
| iS=@Ss7.S1 constantly. and the occasions
GzS9 when they dined without
from one to dozen guests became so
exceptional as TO elicit remark around
the hotel. Most of their efforts were
devoted 10 certain Panamanians OF the
influential class. and in company with
one or more Of these Cortlandt made
frequent trips to the various quarters
OF the republic. sometimes absenting
himself for days Mt time.
During these intervals his wife as
sumed the direction OF affairs and con-
tinued TO entertain or be entertained.
Her energy and resource seemed mex
haustible. Soon she became the social
dictator OF the city. and the most .ex-
elusive circles, American and Pana-
manlan alike. allowed her TO assume
control.
Tho result was Just what had been
designed. Tourists and waiting news
paper people spoke Slowingly of the
amity between the two nations and
wondered at the absence OF that Span
ish prejudice Of which they had heard
so much. Those who CHANGED TO know
the deeper significance OF IL all and
were aware OF the smoldering resent
ment that lay in the Latin mind COM
mented admiringly upon her work and
wondered whas effect IL would have
upon the coming election.
No one but the woman herself and
her husband really understood the ire
mendous difficulties OF their task or
the vital issues at stake. All who
came into contact with her recognized
the master mind directing the cam
paign and, consciously or unconscious
~, relegated her husband 10 the back
ground +.
To the Latin intellect this display or
power on the part OF the woman was
revolution. She knew the effect she
produced and made the most OF ii.
