British and French, whom we
thought so war-wearied and stale,
are smashing ahead day after day,
with vigor that seems to grow rather
than diminish. They give the enemy
no rest. They themselves seem to
require no rest. On and on, day and
night, they press the interminable
battle.
How have they the strength and
spirit for it ? Philip Gibbs, the Eng
lish correspondent, tells. The Amer
leans first inspired them with re-
newed zeal. Now
Our men are full OF hope and
eagernesS to make an end OF the
whole business, to strike so hard and
go so fast that the enemy will have
no time to recover. To end the year
with peace is what inspires the
hearts OF our men, and for that
they will fight with their spirits
keyed high. Perhaps our wishes go
beyond realities, but at least the
vision is good
Thus their war-weariness is
turned into an asset. They are fight
ing like super-warriors because OF
their eagerness for peace, in the be-
lief that peace is now, after all these
years OF deferred hopes, actually
within their grasp.
As long as they are buoyed by
that great hope our allies will win.
just as surely as we ourselves will
win through our fresh vigor and
determination. They may be more
confident than they have any logical
right to be. 1t seems incredible that
they should actually attain their goal
and win a triumphant and conclusive
peace this year. The most optimistic
of us. here at home in America,
hardly hope for that before the end
OF next year. But we cannot tell.
And the surest thing about it is that
the very belief of those warworn
veterans helps them to accomplish
the impossible.

While gray, faded hair is not sin

just dampen a sponge or soft brush

Helen looked at her watch hur-
riedly. and found to her dismay
that her shopping downtown mad
taken her much longer than she
had expected. She knew that Mary
would never wait lunch so long
after time, and making up her mind
hurriedly she determined to go up
to Croft x Ordway's for lunch.
Helen did not do this often. Some
times she lunched downtown with
Louise, but she generally felt that

always odds and ends to be eaten up
at home. and which could not be
utilized for dinner.
Mary had been goings TO make a
hash out of the roast beef that had
been left and somehow or other it
did not appeal to Helen. Croft *
Ordways had the most delicious
club sandwiches in the world, and
Helen. feeling reckless over the eN-
penditure of less than Il dollar on
food. went up to the restaurant.
She ordered leisurely. and while
she was waiting scanned the place

top of the large department store.

often teased her about her lack of
initiative, but nine out of ten wo-
men are exactly like Helen.
The pretty little waitress brought
the food. and Helen began to eat.
Everything was delicious, and she
was in the midst of her luncheon
when voice that sounded oddly
familiar said:
Isn't this Mrs. Curtis?"
Helen looked up and started a
little bit in spite of herself. OF
all people in the world it was Lola
Wilcox. Ii there had ever been a
ghost in Helen's past that she had
thought definitely buried it was this
very woman. Lola Wilcox had caus-
, ed more trouble in a perfectly in
nocenG way than Helen wished TO
encounter again. 1t had been Lola
Wilcox who had always been some
what of a thorn in Helen's flesh.
Not that she had ever done any
thing definite, for. to Helen's best
| knowledge she never had, but there
was something about her, certain
/ free and easy spirit that somehow
! always made Helen feel uncomfor-
table and at a disadvantage.
For one thing she seemed to re-
quire the attentions of men. She
never went out of her way in an
I obvious manner to receive them,
| but even the most conventional OF

Are Advertised Medicines

There is no more reason to con-

there is to condemn all physicians or

every profession and in every trade,
but they do not last long. Take a

of its merit is the fact that for for
