HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay gray! Nobody can tell when you darI1en gray. faded hair
 with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot
 tie of this old-time recipe, improved
 by the addition of other ingredients,
 all ready to use, at very little cost.
 This simple mixture can be depended
 upon to restore natural color and
 beauty to the hair.
 A well-knoWn downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it
 darkens' so naturally and evenly that l nobody can tell it has been applied | it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one ] strand at a time. By morning the | gray hair disappears; after another aplication or two. it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft | and beautiful. This preparation is a l delightful toilet requisite. It is not l intended for the cure, mitigation or
 prevention of disease.-Adv.

PRAYING FOR A HUSBAND.

Saint Catherine, whose festival is celebrated today, receives but little homage in America, but in Europe she is one of the most popular of the saints. She is the protector and patron of the city of Venice, and many are the applications made to her by Venetians vwho, thankful that they have been spared from the presence of the enemy who not so long ago was at her gates, are now asking guidance in the ways of peace.
 In England and on the continent the good Catherine is considered the special friend and patron of spirsters, and in Paris her fete day is generally known as "Old Maids Day" Special services are held in some of the churches and maiders young and old carry flowers thither to be laid upon the altar, at which thoS7 beseech the intercession of St. Catherine in pro- curing for them a good husband. And now that Europe has been robbed by the war of so many of it's young men, the vogue of St. Catherine is likely to increase in the coming years.
 Milton Abbey was long the favorite resort of English maidens and "old maids" on St. Catherine's Day, and there was a special prayer for the oc- casion, which ran:
 A Husband, Saint Catherine;
 A Handsome one, St. Catherine;
 A rich one, Saint Catherine; A nice one, Saint Catherine;
 And soon, Saint Catherine.

DAINTY LITTLE CAPS.

The dainty little caps that are so easily made transform even an ugly woman, if there is such a being, into @ pretty one. Is there anything more trying than a woman with her hair done up in curl papers Even a beauty may well look plain in such Q condition and the majority of women are not blessed with curly locks.
 The caps may be worn at night and cover the head completely, at the same time giving the head plenty of air. They should always be made of very sheer material.
 The caps are cut circular. with lace and beading about the edge. A thin material like lawn, with valenciennes imitation lace about the edge, is quite as effective as more expensive material and will wear longer. Mar row ribbon is run through the bead ing and may be drawn closely about the head and tied. A bow may be sewed on the left side.

NESW stAAN the Same Thing Again.
 poleons armies carried a marshars baton in his knapsack.
 All of the heroism of the German army is the heroisnI of masses Of men hurled against the ranks of the enemy, and few if any stories of in- dividual heroism have been reported, except from among the aviators, where the fighting and winning of battles are of necessity up to- the individual.
 So the following story couldn't very well have been written of a German soldier, and though we have become accustomed to expect such things of the American Doughboy, the heroism of the deed doesn't lose anything be- cause of that.
 It happened near Soissons, in northern France, during the July days of the great allied drive. The Americans were pressing forward and being met with whitening hail of fire from the German machine guns. They were creeping up Indian fash ion, with considerable intervals be- tween the men In the slowly moving lines. So it isn't surprising that in the smoke and the confusion of the fight, Priv. Charles Kemmes of Fair bury, Neb., found himself alone and more or less Ion his own hook" as we say, in the midst of the battle.
 This wasn't disturbing to Kemmes, however. He knew what to do. He could see from his position two ma chine guns being worked furiously by their boche crews, and slowly and cautiously he made his way towards them.
 So carefully did Kemmes work that he was upon them before they had any warning of his coming. The hand-to-hand struggle that followed was a short one, and ended by the lone American taking the two guns and six of the gunners. | But wait! Two days later Kemmes repeated the performance, putting an- other machine gun nest out of ac- 1 ton.
 1 Kemmes was awarded the distin-
 guished service cross with a silver ] star upon it's ribbon.

REMARKABLE CHOIR
 SANG YESTERDAY

Alexander Pogrebniak and his Rus sian choir from the Holy Ghost church which is the Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic church Dn Hallett street, swept the great audience of men off their feet at the Y. M. c. A. gymna- sium Sunday afternoon. The choir came dressed in their beautiful and unique Russian costumes of red dresses for the women, red blouses for the men with white cord belts, blue trousers and patent leather knee boots. They made very beautiful and picturesque appearance as they entered the hall. They first sang three numbers of sacred music used in the Russian church and from that time on had captured every man in the audience. Not in 13 years has mu- sic so moved a mems meeting in the Y. M. c. A. It was almost impossible for Secretary Lacy to quiet the audi ence and have them release the choir so that the speaker of the afternoon might give his message. The music was beautifully renrered and of a pe- culiar wistful hea:t searching char acter. Bridgeport as whole ought to have an opportunity of hearing and knowing that such a remarkable choir is in our midst.
 Dr. A. Eugent Bartlett then deliv- cred his lecture on Brave Little Bel gium," and held the men in the most tense fashion for over an hour. His recital of the courage of that wonder ful little nation was most eloquent and it is fair to say that 13O more Ibeautifully taken and coIored slides have never been shown in the city ot
 Bridgeport. Nearly every seat in the gymnasium was occupied and it means that there were probably between four
 and five hundred men present at this lrema r5a ble meeting

COAT DRESSES.

The coat dress, which has never been more popular than this autumn. bases it's claim to favor on practica- bility. The busy woman, who hasn't the time to change her gown several times each day, finds such a dress in- dispensable, for it can be worn most suitably from morning till night, with or without a heavy coat-as the weather dictates. These frocks, which lack the severity of a tailored suit, achieve their trimness without sacrificing the charm and comfort which--for many women-belong to a gown alone.
 In line, they follow the season 8 general characteristic - the slender silhouette. Voluminous folds are re- served for coats alone, although many serviceabIe new topcoats prefer the long, straight lines of suits and gowns. Slenderness of outline is partially accomplished by the new ankle-length skirt which, frequently adds gracious inch or two to wom ans height.
 Although orthodox in line, a cos tune may be as individual as one likes in the matter of trimming. This years cosmopolitan variety includes many favorites of thirty years past as well as charming originations Plush has been restored to favor along with fringes, cords and tassels The latter are, of course. only appro- Iriately used on gowns and suits de stined for more formal wear. An gora embroidery, and wool or yarr which has been clipped to resemble fur are among the newcomers. They are shaggy enough to afford most at tractive substitutes for fur, and art very effective for collars and cuffs when contrasted with material that 1 | soft or smooth in texture.

 This has never been said of the American soldier, however. While ad to. obey orders strictly and to act in concert with his unit, he is also trained to act for himself and by himself, ON his own responsibility and on his own initiative, and in his own way when the circumstances of battle call for individual action.
 The French soldier is trained this way also, and was so trained even in Napoleon's time, when it was said that every soldier in the ranks of Ma

ANKLE EXERCISES A VERY FINE
 AID TO OVERCOME TURNS
By LUCREZIA BORI The Famous Spanish Prima Donna

The woman who would overcome turned ankle must bear in mind the necessity to have shoes large enough Frequently a pinching shoe causes us to flavor" one side of the foot in walking. A shoe that's big enough will keep its shape and present a more attractive appearance in the long run.
 It is also unwise for the woman who has a tendency toward putting on weight to wear low shoes all year round. Spats are smart, but they don't hold the ankle as firmly and as closely as a lace or button shoe. Wearing a lace shoe at least in the daylight hours during the winter months will help the ankles to hold their shape more trimly. Watch Your Heels Besides the exercise suggested for strengthening ankles, inclined to turr hot sea salt baths are strengthening and restful. A strengthening foot | bath which will also be found sooth- l ing is obtained by dissolving in warn water:
 Alum, 1 ounce.
 | Rock salt 2 ounces.
 l Borax, 2 ounces.
 You women who are addicted tC l high heels should realize that il walking always with your feet in the abnormal position, induced by higf i heels, you bring into play only cer | tain of your muscles. You can coun
 teract this by wearing flat heels o1 1 even heelless bedroom slippers in thu seclusion of your rooms. At first [ l soreness in the calf of the leg ma!
 be noticeable when you begin the fla sole maneuvering about the room
 This will, however, soon disappear
 and you will be comfortable in eith CT high or low heels.
 A careful pedicuring should follow
 the hot foot bath semi-weekly. Thi
 Is just as important as manicurine The comfort of our feet affects ou
 general appearance and disposition t
 an extent which should command su
 preme respect for these much-abuse members of the human bodies.

foot and ankle, you should preserve the loveliness of it's contour, and clothe it in a manner not only to dis play it but also to preserve it.
 Every woman's foot may not be faultlessly formed, but the effect of grooming and care will go far toward overcoming imperfections in shape. Possibly the most common fault IS a weak ankle which permits the shoe Co turn and become run down."
 How many times an attractively groomed woman, with complexion, hair and nails showing evidence of care will wear rundown shoes, be- cause of ankles which don't do their work properly and support the foot symmetrically. This point should be carefully watched in growing girls and specific exercises given to strengthen these muscles. Skating will strengthen the ankles and give a flat tread to the heel.
 Exercise an Aid
 To overcome a tendency to weak ankles you should daily raise your self on your toes ten times, then lower the body slowly. This motion exercises the front and the back muscles of the ankle and foot.
 Most women stop right there and think they have done their duty tC the muscles of the feet A rollins motion from left to right on the bal and heel of the foot quickly strength ems the muscles at the sides of tho ankles and tends to even the poist of the body.
