OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"

Helen was really too excited to sit
still after Ned Burns had called up.
She walked about the living room for
while, looking out of the windows
for Warren, but when he did not ap-
pear she finally hurried into her fur
coat and hat and went out, resolved
TO walk up and down the block for a
while. Until she had hung up the re-
ceiver she did not know just what her
feelings were. Ned engaged? Why,
1t hardly seemed possible.
Helen pulled long face when she
realized that her devoted admirer was
no longer devoted And then like a
flash that same thought occurred to
her again. Suppose Ned had made up
that story so that he might feel at lib
erty to see her about this business he
spoke of? That was plausible. Helen
had never quite understood Ned; he
seemed deep to her. When she had
known him long before she was mar
rfed they had both been too young to
read the others character, but Ned
Burns had funny way of getting
what he wanted, regardless of any
thing.
Well, Helen reflected, if tomorrow,
when Ned comes, he told her that he
was not engaged after all certainly
she would not be blamed for being de-
ceived. Not If Warren were willing to
believe it, too.
AT that moment she looked up and
spied Warren coming down the street
She almost flew to meet him, holding
up her face for his kiss. which he gave

why the excitement?" Warren

at once for fear of seeming too eager.
Anything happened

passed between them.
Nothing much; things were about

Helen said, eager to tell her news and
yet trying to appear nonchalant.

How to Be Rid of
Disgusting Dandruff

The only way to be permanently
rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is
to correct it's cause. Shampooing
merely cleanses the scalp for a few
days. then the scales form again as
thick as ever.
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply little of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub it in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorb
ed by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result of even one ap-
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only few days massage with
Partisan Sage are needed to destroy
the germs that cause the dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy
the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality, and you need
never be troubled by dandruff again
Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly
restored to beauty by this simple
process, which is absolutely harm
less, and will not stain the hair or
make it greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from
II. c. Kennedy and druggists every
where. II is not expensive.
