In New York with conviction that an

She lived alone for one week in the

luncheon. The long, gloomy stairs
and halls, the linoleum covered dining
room were the most depressing things
things that Claire had ever met with.
Il took all her courage TO get down
Tkrom the fourth floor to the basement.

and rosy, she had cultivated an air OF
dash and she was wistful. but of this
latter quality she was utterly uncon.

to talk anyway. To Claire's dismay,
he persisted in talking. However. the
expression Of his eyes when he look

the gloomy dining room so Claire dim
pled and flashed her white teeth in
his direction. instead of giving the
sparkling replies he had hoped for.
But the reverence she awoke in the
breast Of Gilbert made up in part for
her fragile mentality.

as the library. Another half hours

Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell if you
use Grandmother's simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or gray;
also ends dandrutT, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the only
way 10 get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays by asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy you will get a large bot
lie of this famous old recipe for about
so cents
Don't stay gray Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darIened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at q time;
by morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy,
