What the Prophets Whisper.

French women have yielded to the
American desire to wear short skirts

which should compel them to change
their style.
The smart women run Logging or
a high cloth-top boot well up under
the hem Of these short skirts, and the
effect is military and pleasing. But
at the very moment that we are &C
cepting with enthusiasm this continued
style of short and narrow garments,
the prophets say that the real French
skirts are growing longer. And the
smart American designers say the
same. They are making the garments
slim, without using an inch of surplus
material, but they are dropping them
to the ankles, emitting the leggings
and the high boots, and coming back
to the flat-heeled pumps with broad
ribbon bows across the vamp.
Three or four of the best houses in
New York emphasize these skirts. and
those who are tired of the brevity Of
the skirts we have worn for years are
accepting this new type Of garment
with more than the usual enthusiasm.

 School Last Night.

About 800 people attended the demonstra ton of the uses of milk at the Sacred Heart Parochial school last evening at 7:30 o'clock. Miss Eliza beth Buckley, of the Connecticut Agricultural college, assisted by sev- eral Polish girls who were in Home Economies club last winter, did the demonstrating. Mrs. Arthur F. J. Reilly interpreted. because such a large percentage of the people in the audience were Polish and did not un- derstand English,
 A nu1nb Der of questions were asked by the Polish mothers, who seemed to be very much interested in the uses of milk. One of the demon- strators said this morning that Mrs. Reilly was so witty in her lnterpreta' . lions that the audience gave it's un = divided attention to the demonstra- ton.
 This is only one of the several demonstrations on the uses Of hulk as a food to be given this week under the auspices of the United States Food Administration, Committee of Food Supply. State Council of Defense, and the Hartford County League and Farm Bureau cooperating.

Inasmuch as he met his death on the battlefield on June 4 it is believed that he was with the very first increment of the Marine Corps that swept on across shell torn No Mans Land, driving the German hordes before them. It is also believed that the local soldier was one of the first Marine Corps of t1cers to fall during that ma gnificent smash.
 Family Is Frustrated.
 Mrs. Eddy, the young officer s mother, received a, letter from her son recently which was written on May 26, only nine days before he was killed. Tn this letter he inclcsed a snapshot of himself taken in the trenches, and tenderly advised his mother not to worry if she did not hear from him in q long time as he expected "to be very busy On re- ceipt of this letter the family under stood this significant phrase to mean that he would be busily engaged be- hind the lines in training the sol diers, but it now appears that Lieut.

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, ordinary
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 if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve 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 with 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 drug
store 1t is inexpensive. and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.
