Mnst Lave or Not Wed

Dear Miss Libbey: am IS, want to
learn to love certain young man
who loves me dearly. He wants me
to marry him. I can't seem to love
him sufficiently, as / should love. Is
it best to wait awhile before marry

You must love before you we'd, to

hearts are devoted to each other, the
world is one of joy as days and years
glide by.

Physicians Advice For Thin,

Thousands of people suffer from eX-

feeble stomachs who, having tried ad-

cal culture stunts and rub-on creams
resign themselves to lifelong Skinni-
ness and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case is not hopeless. "A
recently discovered Tegeuerative force
makes fat grow after years of thinness

waste of sickness or faulty digestion
and for strengthening the nerves This
remarkable discovery is called Sargol

months systematic use of Sargol
should produce flesh and strength by
correcting faults of digestion and by
supplying highly concentrated fats to

SAFETY FIRST" STAR
FASCINATING WOMAN
Her Press Agent Says She Wears
a Diamond on Her
Back

very interesting and fascinating
little woman, is Sophye Barnard, the
celebrated songbird. who with her
husband, Lou Anger. is appearing with
much success at the orpheum this
week in a pretentious musical comedy
called Safety First
While she was taking her dainty
breakfast in the hotel room this morn
ing, she chatted freely on many
subjects, some of them pertaining to
her stage work. some of them were
about Harrisburg, and quite a few
were incidents that occurred during
her engagements in various cities.
You know. Miss Barnard eN-
claimed" this is my third engagement
at the Orpheum, in vaudeville. but
one other time 1 was in your town.
Then | was the Widow with Ray
mond Hitchcock in The Red Widow.
| had studied for concert work also
and thought l would prefer that, but
my inclinations were toward this work.
When we were on this subject Ven
tured to inquire which type of enter
tainment she thought was most diff
cult.
"Oh, most certainly vaudeville.
There is no audience in the world so
hard to please as a vaudeville audi
ence. They form their impressions in
an instant. In fact it may seem alb
surd, but nevertheless it's so when |
say that most vaudeville audiences
know whether they are going to like
you or not while you are walking on
the stage.
Well, how much truth is there in the
rumor that you wear a diamond on
your back that is imbedded in your
spine, L inquired?
Turing her back hastily to me, Miss
Barnard disclosed the gem. You see
the diamond, don't you. she said
laughingly." Yes, but how on earth
did you get ii there?
All. now you're asking me too much
OF a secret. so l obligingly dropped the
subject as much bewildered as ever.
Miss Barnard. who in private life is
Mrs. Anger, is very interesting and
pleasing young woman. Those who
only know her from across the foot
lights think her charming and clever.
She is all of that, but an opportunity
to chat with her makes her all the
more fascinating.
She has travelled extensively. makes
a study of interesting gowns, is fairly
over-runnihg with good fun. and talks
on almost any subject.

Mayor Curley TabOOs
Bare Feet in Boston
.SecciaL TO Tie Telegraph

Boston. Mass, March 1S.-And now
it is bare feet that have been placed
on the tabooed list in this puritanical
city. Mayor Curley did it to-day, when
he decreed that feet when exposed are
shocking TO public morals.
This latest edict hits young society
women who were to do barefoot dane
ing at the 1915 dance carnival for the
woman suffrage fund. 1t has never
been customary to wear stockings in
Greek interpretative dances, they pro-
tested: but Mayor Curley replied that
he is going 10 smash custom.
All feet must be hidden in hosiery,
says the mayor. Unless his order is
obeyed the show cannot be given.
Bare feet are as innocent as bare
hands or bare faces said Lila V. Ny
man, society dance introducer. The
mayor interferes with a work of art
and says nothing about suggestive
Jokes that are used in musical come
dies in some of our most respectable
theaters.

To be possessed of . head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy.
wavy and free from .dandruff is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now-all drug stores rec
ommend it-apply a little as directed
and within ten minutes there will be
an appearance of abundance, fresh
ness, fiuffiness and an incompatible
gloss and lustre, and try as you will
YOU can not find trace of dandruff or
falling hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use. when
YOU will see new hair-tine and downy
at first-yes-but really new hair
sprouting out all over your scalp
Danderine is, we believe. the only sure
hair grower. destroyer of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp and il never fails
10 stop falling hair at once.
If YOU want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderinc and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
he soft. glossy and beautiful in Just
n few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.--Ad-
