rain would keep you in"
Yes" said Helen coldly," just
got in"
"O," said Mrs. Frisby, noticing for
the first time, Helen's negligee,
aren't you well?"
Yes, but 1 got miserable wet
and I'm afraid I've taken cold"
What a shame" said Mrs. Frisby
| instantly perturbed. Whatever else
her faults might be, she was unfail-
ingly selfish.
But aren't you wet?" asked Hell
en-, politely, realizing that she must
be decent to the little woman.
ut doesn't matter about me at
all, never take cold, but it's dread
full to have one, and I'm going to see
that you don't. May L go and tell
your maid something that l want to
prepare for you?"
NO. please don't" Helen pro-
| tested. You see, Mary's gone down
to school for my little girl and l am
alone"
Then I'll go out and fix it nry-
self" said Mrs. Frisby quickly.
please don't, really don't want
anything; I'll just stay in the house
and baby myself for the rest of the
/ day, and I'll be all right after a hot
| bath and a good nights rest"
Well" called Mrs. Frisby already
| on her way toward the kitchen, this
remedy is unfailing in helping the
| good work along. It's an old-fash-
| ioned remedy, L always fix 1t for ny
| husband and it won't take me q
| second to fix it for you. Don't you
| bother to come out here; l have the
| gift for knowing kitchens"
Helen, who had partly invented
the cold, had no desire to be doc
tored with some strange concoction,
and yet she could not be rude to
! Mrs. Frisby. Not that it was pos
sible to snub Mrs. Frisby in the ordi-
nary manner, for she simply did not
recognize the chill that some women
feel intuitively if they are not liked.
A snuh to affect Mrs. Frisby must
had never really hurt the little
woman in heir brief acquaintance
although she had felt like doing SC
! many times. She wondered vague
ly what it was that Mrs. F'risby was
preparing, and dutifully drank the
siruppy drink that was anXiously
| proffered some minutes later. II
was just a simple cough medicine
I and Helen hadn't the Vestige of a
cough but then Mrs. Frisby thought
she was doing exactly the right
thing, and Helen thought for the
hundredth time or more what ar
u utter child the woman was.
Helen's irritation at having hel
kitchen messed up by an acquain
tance whom in spite of kindness she
had always kept at arms length
was somehow swallowed up for thu
/, moment. She was sorry for Mrs
!, Frisby, even while she wondered wh!

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this. just get
about four ounces. of plain. ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it. no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drugstore. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.

Mary" said Helen coming in
from outdoors weary and soaking
wet. I'm a sight; help me get out
of my things, will you?"
Mary was instantly all attention.
"Oh, Mrs. Curtis, your beautiful suit,
ma'am, amt it a shame?"
Helen sighed wearily. TT certain
ly is, Mary, and who would have
imagined this morning that the day
would turn out like this?"
I'll take them right out in the
kitchen, ma'am," said Mary COM
fortingly. "I can press the skirt
for you myself, and don't think the
coat is any the worse"
We'll, no one will be in today,
that's certain, so I'll just slip into my
bathrobe and lie down in the living
room. I'll haev a whole afternoon to
myself, Mary" she finished smiling.
Mary returned her smile sympa-
thetically and hurried out. She re-
turned in a few minutes heavily
wrapped up.
"Iil go for Miss Winifred now.
ma'am, she didn't have rubbers or
anything"
"All right. have you everything
for her, Mary, her waterproof cape
and everything she'll need?"
Yes, ma'am, and mad she'll be
when she sees me coming after her.
She's big girl these days"
Helen laughed. 1t was one of the
hardest things to get accustomed
to, in her life, this astounding fact
that Winifred was growing up. This
was her first year in public school,
and her pride in being allowed to
go to and from school alone
amounted almost to a passion with
the child.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

Here is an evening gown that
seems especially adapted to the
season. 1t is very graceful and
it is exceedingly attractive and
smart, yet it is simple withal.
1t shows the pretty, short
sleeves that make feature, and
it can be made from many diff
ferent materials. AS it is shown
here, a soft satin is combined
with a fancy net and tulle sleeves
to give a smart effect. If you
do not like the double tulle
for the little tucker or band used
under the blouse, you can use a
heavy lace or banding. If you do
not like the zouave or Turkish
effect, you can turn the skirt
up to form a hem and push it
back a little at the front to
form a tunic over a plain two
piece under-skirt.
For the medium size the
bodice will require, I1s yards of
material SO inches wide, with
Il yard a. for the tucker and
sleeves, to make as illustrated.
For the skirt will be needed,

under-skirt and I yard 7 inches

OVER-CRITICAL

DIIA K MISS F'AlRF' An:
| am twenty and engaged to a
man thirty-two. Now, Miss Fairfax,
what | want to know is. this man
says he loves me very much. but do
you think a man can love girl very
much when he is all the time max
ing fool of her before his people =?
He doesn't like the way | talk nor
the way l fix my hair, and, of course,
he hurts my feelings and we fight a
lot. He never says he is sorry, and
/ always have to make friends with
him first.
NORA.
A nagging woman is bad enough.
goodness knows-but a nagging man
is uncomfortable. If the girl he loves
cannot manage to do anything so
las to meet with a mans approval, l
wonder how she is going to satisfy
his whims when she is his wife. If
q man is selfish and tyrannical and
continually criticising and correct
ing he is likely to make her self
conscious and unhappy. Are you
sure you have told the story correct
ly? Perhaps you are neat and tidy.
perhaps YOU don't make any effort
to make yourself agreeable or to
improve your manners. An am
bilious man sometimes does love a
girl of whom he is not very proud,
and then unless she is clever enough
to improve herself-with himself for
caring for girl who seems and with
the girl not trying to live up to his
best ideals of her. Look to yourself,
my dear. Perhaps little improve
ment of your manners would be to
your advantage.

Advice to the Lovelorn
TWO SISTERS
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRFAA:
l am twenty and a stenographer.
/ met q very nice young man who
loves me and in return 1 like him
very dearly. What l want to say is,
he is notarich.
NV parents say / have no right
to go out with anyone before my
older sister, but they say, it would
be different if this young man We're
rich. l would like to know whether
ii is right for me to ask my friend
when he buys tickets for Il theater,
ETC., to get another ticket for my sis
ter. Would that be imposing upon
him?
A CONSTANT READER.
There is an old tradition which
goes back to such authority as the
Bible story of Leah and Rachel and
which requires that until the older
sister is married the younger one
| shall not wed. But the modern day
/ generation does not insist on any
/ thing so difficult. 1t is certainly not
! fair to demand that when a younger
| girl happens to meet the man for
whom she cares she shall not marry
| him until her sister is likewise pro-
| vided with a husband. From the
point of view of commonsense every
+ one sees that married sister is in a
| position to give her single sister So
! cial good times. 1t does not shame
| or disgrace the older girl one bit to
| have the younger one married before
| she is. Indeed in this day when wo-
man is coming so splendidly into her
! own, there is no particular season
why the older sister should not be
| just as useful, worth while and
| happy an individual as is the young
er even though she remain bache-
| lor maid while her sister marries
| 1t might be nice for you and you:
friend to take your sister along oc-
casionally. but unless you are engag-
ed you are scarcely in position to
: ask him to spend money on her.

impossible, and my people will not
allow me to go with him.

allow me to go with him.
H. p. F.
1t is very cruel for people to wish
to refuse love and marriage to che
lame. Lameness is not matter OF
heredity, but OF accident, and so
when a man wants to marry girl
who is so afflicted his people are
unjustiflably cruel in trying to in
terfere with the marriage. There is
almost nothing for you to do eX-
cept one or the other of these
things. Either wait patiently for
time to solve your, problem or tell
your sweetheart frankly that your
people refuse to let you go on as
YOU are. If you are engaged, there
Is no reason why you need hesitate
to talk it over with him. If you are
not. is it possible for your father
to explain his feelings in the mat
ter?

French Triumph at verdun

From Germany Makes a New Bid for
 Peace By Battle" by Frank H.
 Simonds, in the American Review of
 Reviews.
 verdun was saved, primarily, by the courage of its own defenders; but the offensive at the Somme long ago com pelled the Germans to draw off men and guns to meet the new menace. When enough men and guns had gone to satisfy the French, they attacked, to get more elbow room, as General Petain expressed it. As long as the Germans held on to Vaux and Douaumont, there was chance of renewed offensive. The new French success has now made the earlier ,Verdun victory absolute.
 On the military side this feat was chiefly important as it displayed the won derful efficiency of the French army. On the sentimental side it has value that cannot be exaggerated Verdun will rank with the Marne in French history, and together these two triumphs of the French over the Germans will remain landmarks in war and history. It is unlikely that the victoEy will have any consequences. Nothing is less likely than a drive toward Metz. Conceivably there will be new effort to remove the St. Mihiel salient, but even that is unlikely. verdun does not offer good base for an offensive; it is hardly likely to in- vite new efforts on the part of the crown prince.
 One of the odd things about this war is the fashion in which we have grown accustomed to events which will remain the marvel of the generations which come hereafter. Anyone who was in France during the attack upon Verdun will agree that for the French, Verdun has become vital circumstance in the history of the race Long before the end of the attack verdun had lost it's military value; it had lost its moral value for the Ger mans, so far as the rest of the world was concerned, long before the end came; but the fall of Verdun, although it proved to be without consequences, would have been a tragedy for the whole French people, so passionately had they willed that it should hold
 Tor myself, after had been to Verdun and seen the soldiers who were defend- ing it, heard their confident assertion, they shall not pass" I could not be- lieve that there could be any other end to the battle than that which has now come And am satisfied that the same spirit will repu1se any proposition of peace that does not include the redemp- tion of Alsace-Lorraine

Ayery's Letter

It was good day for the bulls in the cotton market. Liverpool came about as due, and our market started out in listless manner. First sales were un- changed to a few points less, with no important feature.
 The bears apparently had no desire to put out further short lines, which fact gave the bulls fresh courage; and there was good class of buying. The result was steady advance throughout the day.
 It is hard to get bear argument out Of the statistical position of the market, anG the man who sells futures at the present discount under spots would have Q hard time delivering the cotton on a profitable basis. For this reason 1 am afraid of the short side.
 Spots were firm, 10 to 90 points higher over the belt, with practically nothing offered at the prevailing basis.
 New Orleans advices stated that a. prominent man familiar with conditions in this section stated that south of Bir- mingham there would be a 20 per cent reduction in acreage on account of the scarcity of fertilizer and the activities of the boil weevil. In Georgia, south of Ma con, the reduction would probably be 90 per cent for the same reasons.
 I continue to advise purchases on the easy spot.

Huhhard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 8.-Cables this morning were higher, reflectng the usual end of the month calling cotton. Here the market opened lower, but as no outside selling appeared, the local traders bought in expectation of some peace move on the part of the German chancellor, who Is expected to address the Reichstag. These views also attracted some heavy purchases from Wall street, said to be for the account of prominent local op- orator.
 The market closed at the best prices of the day, though on the advance there was an increase in the selling orders from the south. Exports were moderate in comparison with recent clearances. The peace expectations, however, were the dominating factor, but the volume of outside business was disappointingly small.
