Don't he alarmed or influenced by
the despicable threats of this vile
beast, clothed in the respectable
garm OF honorable, married bus

his Waterloo and he seeks a cow
ards revenge by threatening to
blacklist you among the employ
ers in the city. But his bark is
worse than his bite. His reputa-
ton must needs be known among
his business associates As long
as you are a virtuous girl, and left
his employ before you scarcely en-
tered it, his statements, should he
have the nerve to make any, would
reflect against him rather than
you.
It has been n very unpleasant,
but nevertheless valuable expert
ence to you. Every girl who goes
to work has to learn a lesson
something like this before she
finds out how to strike happy
medium. BY that l mean she'learns
how TO be pleasant, agreeable and
sociable without permitting men
to Over-step the bounds of con.
ventionality. II she does allow
this over-stepping, she loses her

would never marry her. He
tells me he cares for me, but
/ cannot think he does df he is
engaged to this other girl. How
can I find out? G. G. G.
You might take his word for It,
since he would have no object in

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it. then
you destroy it entirely. To do this
just get about four ounces of plain.
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need), apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t 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 complete-
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, CLOS
sy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times Detter.-Adv.
