When a Girl MarrieS"
BY
New Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife

| More than ever hated myself fol
the pride that had led me to reject
the offer of help from Betty, which
l now felt came as much from the
Captain as from her. But 1 felt
that l would only humiliate Jim If
l went to her and told her 1 had
changed my mind. The mill will
never grind again with the water
that is past" and the opportunity
/ to get help from these good friends
was gone.
/ And so, as Captain Winston

fields and open roads, regret rode
with me. did so want to enjoy
imyself-to delight in the smooth
motor of the car, the pressure of
I the wind against my body, the
crisp, pine-laden, salty air-but
couldn't.
| Toward dusk we stopped at a
| little inn called The Blue Dragon" "
Captain Winston said he wanted to
telephone to a friend who lived in
the neighborhood and who would
probably offer us the hospitality of
his fireside if he CHANGED to be at
home.
I'D like you to meet Norreys,
Jimmie. old chap" said Terry Win
ston lightly, as he swung out of the
car. But 1 saw him exchange a
meaning glance with Betty and 1
filed that name for future refer
i ence-Norreys.
A moment after Captain Winston
went into the inn behold my broth
er Neal coming out and scampering
across the road to our parking
place.
Hello. peoplel People. hello"
he called. Lady Evelyn spied Jim
from our table. and she says she'll
never forgive you if you don't come
in and join our party. You won
turn her down, will you?" Neal
looked at me pleadingly.
NO. we won't turn you down,
replied my husband good naturedly.
Then he presented Neal to Mrs.
Bryce. For Il moment Neal semed
swept off his feet by Betty's beauty
and graciousneSS. But when she put
out her SCARED white hand he actu-
ally quivered with distaste. Even
as child he had always shrunk
from wounds or any bodily dishg-
urement. And now, before he could
conquer his feelings and take Bet
tvs hand in his a crimson tide of
embarrassment flooded her face.
Betty was gravely hurt. Jip's eyes
flashed. l fumbled for words.
There was an ugly moment-and
then Terry Winston ran out to an
nounce that Norreys was up IN
Canada and wouldn't return till late
in the fall, so we might as weil
stay at the inn for dinner.
This delighted Neal. So did big
blond Terry himself; and in show
ing his delight with Terry Neal
showed also his best self-his boy
ish charm and enthusiasm. And
when he had the privilege of taking
.us in and presenting Terry and
Betty to his Lady Evelyn" Neal
fairly blossomed out under the
warmth of Evvy's delight at the pig

quite evident that she regarded
Rettv as a great swell. And Betty
seemed to forget her hurt of few
minutes before.

Dandruff Soon
Ruins the Hair
BY McManus.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
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 dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it.
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair will look and
feel a hundred times better You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.

mixing board, protect from flies and
insects by cheesecloth or wire net

til the surface seems sealed. The
mixture should be spread thin so
that the sun penetrates it and drys
it out. Two or three days will be
sufficient if he sun shines brightly.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
By MRS. WILSON WOODROW

knocks and too impatient to work
and wait.
AS l know nothing about you,
have, as l said before, no ideas re-
garding your equipment as n writ
erA But it does seem to me that
you are tormenting yourself unnec-
essarily. You could not with your
present pessimistic view of life make
a very shining success at any occu-
patton you might choose. It's the
high heart that wins. The high
heart and patience-eternal pa
tience!
You say that you realize that if
you hitch your wagon to a star you
will get a harder bump than if you
had hitched it to an OK. Well, what
of it? What are a few hard bumps
more or less? Life is the last thing
to be afraid of. Grasp the nettIe and
it's sting is soon over; but be afraid
of its sharp spines, and even il you
walk in a rose garden you will find
nettles springing up all about you,
and you will be tormented and
torn with their needles.
You are probably a very clever
girl, but you are lacking in courage
when you write: II have to keep
saying to myself, it is all 1 am fitted
for"
And why blame God for bestow-
ing a small talent instead of genius
upon you? That is purely your own
estimate of yourself. You have not
tested your wares in the market
place, and small talent under in
tensive cultivation very often
achieves respectable proportions.
1t would be a good thing for you
to look your demon of doubt square,
ly in the face, and have one final
bout with him. l quote Emerson to
you: In the will work and ac-
quire." And also, Power to him
who power eXerts.' And finally,
l"Oh, friend, never strike sail to a
fear"

MY dear Mrs. Woodrow: My
Igreatest ambition is to become a

me and mapped out a brilliant flu
ture for me- 1 remember one day

those ambitions.
Il realize that if you hitch your
wagon to a star, you are more like
fall than If you had hitched it to
an OK. My teacher in physics would
have said the velocity was greater.
There are many girls and boys
who can write n little, or think they

why did God give me g. little
talent? None at all would have
been better. They say little knowl-
edge is a dangerous thing. Surely
a little talent is more dangerous.
Il thought that 1 had outgrown
ambition, but l have not. But, soh,
l would rather be a, dull clod than
the bundle of wild desires that 1 am.
This may seem like petulance
to you, but it's a real trouble to me.

My dear Hazel, why be so hum
BILE? You have not tested your own
powers. You have had nothing to
discourage you so far, except your
own self-depreciation. And yet you
lgive up the game before you begin
to play.
l am not urging you to become
n writer. Heaven forbid! For
know nothing of your capabilities.
Your talent may be as small as you
think in that direction. But, what
ever you set out to do, whatever the
tissues that face you, stand up to the
undertaking in spirit of true
craftsmanship.
Why claim defeat instead of vic
tory? Why predicate failure in
stead of success? And, above all,
don't lessen your abilities by de-
preciating them. There is a vast
difference between conceit and a
fair appreciation. of ones powers
Self depreciation and self-pity are
two very great sins.
Why should you, a young girl,
prepare to go through life murmur-
ing mournfully: at might have
been!"
1t is a silly, sentimental idea to
hold of ones self. The Might
Have-Beens sob and sigh, but If
you will consider them you will find
they were too lazy to really dig and
grind, too egotistical to stand hard

town and is only able to come home
once every two weeks. Every time

takes me any place except to the beach
or the movies. He told me Saturday
he would be unable to see me Sunday
because his mother would have COM
pany. and he felt his place was at
home. At his clearinghouse the land
lady and her husband are forever per-
suading him to stay with them in
stead of coming home. They have an
auto. and he is always telling me of
the good times he is having. 1 used
to think lot of this man, but lately
he has been acting so indifferent that
am beginning to despise him.
ANXIOUS.
Are you really beginning to despise
him, or is it only case of wounded
pride with you? You say he very sell

a good time and are letting yourself
become bitter and disappointed as
these grow fewer and more simple
Your letter would indicate that you

WOULD BOYCOTT GERMANY.
Senator Owen Believes, Peace Would
Be fastened by Commercial Ban
on Central Power.

! A plan to bring about world pea g
by means Of a trade boycott upon Ger
many was proposed in the Senate yes
.tarday by Senator Owen, OF Okla
Il1oma. He suggested the formation
; of league of all-the nations opposed
to Germany and the formulation Of a
treaty which would close the avenues
of commerce to Germans so long as
they continued in the war.
Senator Owen believes that if al
trade with Germany should be pre-
hibitcd, the military masters Of that
nation would find themselves unahla
to obtain the means necessary TO sus-
tain further fighting.
The concrete proposal offered By
Senator Owen is that the United
States, Great Britain, France, italy
Japan, China, Belgium, Greece, Ri
mania, Serbia, Montenegro, Portugal,
Siam, Cuba, Liberia, Brazil and Par
anna should agree by treaty upon thu
fundamental principles of peace and
then adopt the necessary means TO en-
force such peace upon the centra.
powers. The measures included under
the boycott, as proposed by Senator
Owen, are as follows:
/. Refuse clearance to any of the
vessels of these allied nations to am
German port.
.. Refuse entry 20 any Of their
ports to any vessel under the flag CT
Germany, or any vessel under any
other flag engaged directly or indi-
rectly in trade with Germany.
8. Prohibit the expectation, direct
or indirect, Of any goods, merchaf.
disc or materials of any description
to Germany.
4. Prohibit importations Of all kinds
from Germany.
). Prohibit the expectation to Ger
many of any coin, bullion, money CT
securities.
6. Forbid any postal, Geographic CT
telephone communication with Ger
many or with any person in Germany.
7. Prohibit the transfer to their own
nationals either directly CT indirectly
of any stocks. mortgages or othaI
forms Of Indebtedness owned by SUD-
iect of Germany, and confscate "
nroperty owned in the allied nations
bv Germans residing in Germany
The alternative for the imposition o
these regulations would be an agree
ment by Germany to stop hghth"
within thirty days from the signing
of the treaty by the allied nations.
Unless this should be done the boy
colt would be placed in force Tor i
period Of five years.
