Next morning the paths of the two
girls diverged for the time. Mona,
with her easel and her painting things,
went to the museum. Harry was not
there when she arrived, but after she
had wandered about for a time, en-
joying the opportunity to look at the
pictures, she saw him come in and take

went up to him, rather timidly.

that he replied;

lady" he said. you or anyone else

Despite this rather rude beginning,
they were soon chatting amicably.
Mary, meanwhile, had also been at
work. She had taken out from the
trunk the two old pieces of jewelry
that Mona had found and cleaned them,
although she did not clean them so
well as to make them look too new.
And with these she went to the shop of
Melnotte. She was lucky enough to
find Melnotte disengaged. He sized
her up at once from her timid, indif-
ferent manner, as a woman in distress,
and, because she vas good looking, at

her trifles before him. He picked them
up, shifted, and then pushed them back
to her.
For heavens sake-what do you
bring me stuff like this for?" he asked
contemptuously. This is nothing but
junk you've got, my dear! And this
isn't pawn shop! We buy-and, of
course, for a good customer, we will
sometimes arrange loan"
Mary looked at him piteously. And
then, as she picked up the pin and the
bracelet she began to weep

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkah. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsined
cocoanut oil (Which Is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) Is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly inture the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and It leaves It fine and silky, bright.
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Marshall Makes
New Chess Record
Plays los Games Simultaneous,
Winning 81, Drawing Is,
and Losing 8.

More than hundred OF the Capital =
best chess players gathered at the
National Press Club last night and par
ticipated in the greatest simultaneous
chess match ever staged. when Frank
J. Marshall. American champion, played
los games.
Every chess organization In WASH
ington was represented, besides scores
OF other individuals who accepted the
invitation OF the Press Club to try
their skill against the great master.
AIR. Marshall won eighty-two. drew fif-
teen and lost eight. His score was
considered remarkable.
The big assembly room OF the Press
club was packed with chess players.
The play started early in the evening,
and at o'clock this morning some OF
the games were still In progress.
TWO worlds records were broken by
MIR. Marshall last night. one for the
largest simultaneous match ever played
and the other for the percentage OF
games won. The former worlds record
was made in 1911 by II. Fahrni. Ger
man, at Munich. who played one hum
dred simultaneous games. won nfty-
