Thin, brittle, cOlorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of its luster, its strength and Its very

Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become

never departing from the courage, en-

a man strictly devoted to his duty.
There came a knock at the door just
as Martin had completed traversing
the queer chronicle.
Come int directed Martin, and
Lester entered the room. He eyed
Lester critically, and. in a way, un-
easily.

spoke Lester.

Martin instantly, and with not much
cordiality, for his suspicious had be-
come aroused. N"Here 1t is."
Lester looked embarrassed as he took
it. He drew out his watch and glanced
at 1t. Martin was amazed. This pen
sioner. this mendicant had displayed a
fine gold timepiece scarcely compOrt-
ing with his alleged poverty.
"Wait a minute" directed Martin.
II glanced over your memorandum

confusedly. Martin fancied. and his
head inclined toward the hallway as
though expecting somebody.

Lester after slight pause, II was

tone Of relief, and as the door again
opened he stoed aside to reveal new
comer-the father Of Elsa Wardell.
The old man was genial. eager

the hand Of Martin with warmth.

Flowers and Pictures.

Don't stand q vase Of flowers In
front Of a picture; let 1t make its own
picture" was the advice Of an interior
decorator who counted a bowl Of bios
SONS to be as decorative, against a
wall, as would be framed picture.
"A vase Of blooms or branches
should be as carefully composed and
placed with as direct reference to its
background, as is the painting" she
continued. "All too often a spray Of
flowers is thrust into the wrong vase
Ito bring out its beauty and then
stood up on q cabinet, a shelf, or the
top of a piece Of furniture. where its
outlines are entirely lost, by being
shown against the broken lines Of 9th
er objects. The lines and colors of
flowers and Towering branches are
very beautiful, and they should be CIV
en- a simple, neutral background,
where their full value may be dis
played. A jar Of roses, exquisite when
placed against the soft gray Of plain
bit of wall, will lose all its charm
when stood on a table with lamp of
one color beside 1t. books Of other col
ors behind 1t, and curtains Of still 9th
er shades in close proximity.
Treat each bowl Of bloom as pic
ture, and frame 1t with harmOnizing
set Of neighbors. leaving its back
ground clear to show it Off to the full
est advantage" e."-Christian Science

Coral CUTTING.

Although Venice is a center Of tour
ist trade In coral and shell canoes,
coral itself is neither gathered nor
worked there. The manufacture is
confined to Tore del Greco. Polishing
coral in quantities is an interesting fea-
ture of the work. 1t is placed in a
small bag Of strong raw linen, together
with crushed pumice stone and the bag
is shaken in a special tube with a hole
for drainage under q small column Of
water. When the coral is well pum-
iced 1t is washed and passed into a
clean bag. Instead Of the pumice the
"pulimento" (red or white) is used, and
the former operation repeated. first
without water, then with a little, and
finally with much water, when the
coral has become brilliant. What the
"pulimento" Is the Inhabitants of
Tore del Greco. while so proud and
jealous of their industry, have never
taken the trouble to find out, as, in
deed, what the "aqua osigenata" (hy-
drogen peroxide) is, which is used to
change the color of the coral, black
when extracted from the sea, to red.
AS for the "pulimento," it is not diff
ferent from that which the jewelers.
use to polish precious stOnes.-Ceve-
land Leader.

mister, I'm hungry"
Martin Brill had just come out OF the
retail salesrOom of great baking es-
tablishment. He had q large, but light
package under his arm: two pounds OF
crackers. He had a small parcel In
his coat pocket: ten cents worth OF
common, plebeian sausage.
A man with his coat collar turned
up and looking like the average per-
son out of work had hailed him. Neith-

"Why, I'm hungry, too" he replied
In his usual bright. happy way. Il

Martin led his invited guest up a
dark stairway and lit a lamp. The
room was sparsely, but cleanly fur
nished. There was a double bed with
coarse but warm blankets, table,
chairs, a small stove. and in this a
fire was soon going"
Light housekeeping observed Mar
tin, with ringing laugh. "Now then,

Martin ate like the hearty, healthy
man he was. The other barely nibbled
at few fragments Of the food. Mar
tin observed this, but attributed it to
distaste for the coarse fare and said
nothing. Then they sat chatting.

observed Martins guest, who called
himself Lester
"NO, / am the richest man in the
world" declared Martin, promptly and
with vigor. "Pve got a girl to think
of-wife, some day. for she's true and
patient and has faith In me. I left
the old town with little capital six

l must demonstrate; good behavior al
ways, strict attention to business. I'm

Martin shared his bed with Lester
that night. The latter left him with
n warm expression Of gratitude. Mar

He came home at nightfall well satisfied
with the two dollars he had earned

HEM Of THE SKIRT To Be NARROW

what we may expect in the spring,
and there is no doubt that muslins,
sprigged, checked, striped and pals
leyed, will be In the forefront of new
offerings.
The pear-shaped design which runs
through the cashmere shawls. and
their imitation, the paisley shawls. Is
new and brilliant design on the
most expensive of the new muslins |;
the Persian Tree of Life is another
design copied from the embroidery Of
the orient. This latter design first
appeared last September. when BullOz
used it as a splendid splash Of en-
broidery on a gray satin gown made
for Mary Garden to wear when she
sang the title role of "Griselidis." The
embroidery was done in cOlOred crys-
tails. silk floss and bullion threads and
occupied the lower half of the front
of the skirt, rising from a ground
work of crystal embroidery.
When the Indian shawls came into
high fashion last September, as parts
of gowns, they were accepted only
by few conservatives. The intro
duction was a dismal failure, although
it had been attended by high hopes and
much enthusiasm. The people who In
troduced the idea, both dressmakers
and milliners, stood In the forefront
of originality. For instance, Jenny of
the Champs Elysees gave herself
wholeheartedly to employing the In
dian shawl in various ways for day
apparel; and yet, she who has so few
failures in her short, brilliant career,
did not put 1t over.
Women who owned these shawls
rushed to the shops and dressmakers
with them and were perplexed be-
cause they could not sell them. The
truth is, the market was OverstOcked
genuine cashmere shawls were too
expensive to cut up into an expert
ment, but the shops and dressmak-
ers over here found that they could
import paisley shawls from Great
Britain, giving as little as S. for some
of them.
So the idea in itself failed, but Its
suggestiveness to fabric makers Is
now bearing fruit. ROdier instantly

CURTAINS TO MATCH WALLS

When hung before the windows the
curtains appear just the same shade
as the walls. and the material is so
thin that it does not keep out the light.
This feature Of extreme sheerness was

light, but because thin, wiry goods do
not hold dust and can be almost
shaken clean.

Prediction for the Spring and
Summer That May Be Made
With Certainty.
SLENDER LINES BELOW KNEES
Another Point to Be Noted Is That
OId-Fashioned Musiins Are Coming
In Again-BriIIiant Designs
Will Be a Feature OF the
New Models.

New York.-Nearly a decade ago
there was a kind of barrel skirt which
grew toe successful for the fastidiOus
woman to continue to wear. 1t is pos
sible that you remember this; the top
Of it was shaped like Dutch trousers
and the fulness was gathered into a
wide hem that hugged the ankles. The
upper part was usually. of figured
material like foulard, and the lower
part was of satin. usually black.
1t is quite possible that this very
type of skirt will return after the first
models have had their little fling.
The main thing is that the hem of
the skirt will be narrow this spring
and summer, no matter. what the up
per part may turn out to be.
None of the cables from Paris
leaves one in doubt about this fore
cast. They say that every house has
gone in for slender lines below the
knees and the elimination of all flare
at the hem. This rresupposes an en-
tirely new silhouette from the one
that has prevailed for nearly three
years. The woman who must be eco
nomical is instantly perturbed as to
whether she can alter the frOcks she
has into the picture demanded by the
near future, but no one offers her
much encouragement on that score
1t is not the intention of either Paris
or the American sellers of apparel
that women should be able to alter
their old gowns into something new
France needs all the money she can
get: America has more money to spend
than any other country on this planet

LYAUTEY, MILITARY GENIUS

The new French minister Of war
is described by Stephen lausanne,
formerly editor Of LIE Matin, Paris, as
follows: "As for General Lyautey, the
new minister Of war, In all France the
premier could not have found another
man so splendidly qualified to handle
