pleadingly commanded. As 1 had
gotten almost to the door he called:
"Margie, Margie, come back!
I quickly turned, but saw that the
momentary knowledge Of realities
had fed. He had turned his head to
the wall and was muttering: Il can't
understand why they don't bring
Margie"
HE will die if we cannot wake him
up to recognition Of you" said the
doctor.
Isn't there something you can do
or say that will bring him back to
you, Mrs. Waverly? Is there no lit
tie trick or mannerism that your hus-
band loved which you can use now?
Something which will bring recouec-
ton back to him?"

I did not want Dick, little book, to
tell his secrets to the nurse, although
Miss Arthur seemed perfectly pro-
fessionaI, and I was very glad when
she told me his one cry all the time l
was out of the room was: Some one
must bring Margie. I want to tell
her something, so she will under
stand"
When I was in the room he seemed
subconscioUsly to sense that Margie
was with him and yet his poor, tired
brain could not register the fact.
IF, Mrs. Waverly, you could make
him recognize you, said the nurse,
q think it would mean turning
point for the better in his fever. Go
in very often and let him talk to you.
Tell him who you are, but don't stay
very long if you find he does not
know you"
This morning l thought l was go
ing to be successful, for when l went
in he looked up with the light of san
ity in his eyes and smiled that little
crooked smile of his. I had almost
forgotten, little book, the charm Of
that smile. Although Dick has grown
much thinner, he looks more boyish
more like the man with whom l
had fallen so desperately in love in
the long ago.
Come here, Mar" In the mid
die of my name recognition and rea-

he looked at me so piteously. 'Will

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and Is prob
ably the most easily damaged by
bad or careless treatment. If we
are very careful in hair washing.
we will have virtually no hair
troubles. An especially fine sham
poo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair, that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of canthrox
(Which you can get at any drug
gists) in cup Of hot water. This
makes a full cup OF shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to APP
ply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities
and creates soothing, cooling
lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant,
while the hair takes on the glossy
richness of natural color, also a
fluffiness which makes it seem
much heavier than it is. After a
canthrox shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure.
