 MT Howells was born in Ohio, ana tnere he spent his days till the dawn or the war. He takes us with him to the moment when he accepted the of Ieeof consulship at Rome, which was a turning point in his life, releasing nm from the narrow world of home to the world itself. Up to that time his eNperence had been confined to the essential Americanism of the middle west and few contacts with Boston and Washington. He loved his home and his people with a passion possible only to a home grown boy. boy sen- sitlNe and affectionate and whose fam liy lie, despite the bitter hardships of poverty and debt, was a happy, cheer iul. and healthy one. In passage after passage he tells something of the pains he suffered from homesickness on such occasions as the necessity for earning money sent him from the nome circle. On one such occasion he and his brother drive away from the beloved log cabin to the little town where he is to work for a printer. Every detail of the scene was iln- pressed on the boy:

 AND LOOK YOUNG Nobody can Tell when you Darken Gray, Faded Hair
 with Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull. faded or streaked appearance this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" you will set large bottle ofrthis old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use. for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 well-known downtown druggist says everybody hses Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use. too You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two. it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of dis ease--Adv.

 Readers of TCaptain Desmond " e." and the novels associated with it, namely "The Great Amulet and Candies in the Wind will find in the new story by Maud Diver, entitled, 'Desmond's Daugh- ter" kindred interest, for not only is the story one of the frontier of India, with the majestic background of noun tain scenery that Mrs. Diver depicts so we'll but several of the characters that have made the above mentioned books live, reappear little farther along in age, 1t Is true, but with the qualities un- impaired that endeared them to readers of the earlier stories. There is Paul Wyndham, who marries Mrs Leigh, the mother of the hero of the present tale Vincent Leigh.

"sKINNER's DRESS SUIT. i,

"SKINNER'S DRESS SUIT"
 By Henry Irving Dodge. Illustrated
 Houghton, Mifflin company, publish
 CTS, Boston,
 Skinner's good fortune began when he first deceived his wife. He had asked for a raise, and not liking to tell his wife that he had been refused he gave her an extra $10 week out of his own savings whereupon she insisted that he should buy himself his first dress suit.
 That dress suit accomplished wonders. Skinner learned to dance and began to go out more in society, until his employer in alarm sent him west on difficult er- rand, taking advantage of his absence to examine his books. The books were found to btTRll right, and to the great aston ishReht of the firm, Skinner, with the aid~bf his newborn social graces, accom- plished his mission.
 Mir. Dodge tells in very amusing fash ions story which reverses what used to be known as "a Sunday school book. ' for its moral appears to be. Deceive your wife, act lie live beyond your means, carry on tremenuos ''bluff.' and in both every time It is absurd, however, to deduce any save Little Alice moral from Mir. Dodge's lightly humorous skit To hint at the story would be to spoil it. MT. Skinner. his bold plunge and his sub sequent adventures will peasingly beguile a tedious half-hour, even though, as we perceive the secret of his success, we are fain to murmur:
 It's human natur', p'raps-if so,
