brought back the swings for new
coasters.
AS Peggy looked, Judge Owl
went whizzing down the wire and
she laughed at his frantic boots as
he tried to keep his balance on the
swing. 1t seemed such fun, that she
wanted to try it herself.
ITS Princess Peggy" she heard
a voice whisper near her. 1--WE must
finish her if we want to win the
Birds over to our side"
Peggy whirled around. The
squatty Canary was just running
back into the dancing crowd. He
was evidently the speaker. But to
whom was he speaking? Peggy
looked carefully about her. There
were Birds of many kinds about the
wire, all apparently absorbed in
watching the coasting and trying to
get in line for ride.
Everybody rides! Only two
grasshoppers a ride" cried the Tuf-
key Buzzard. Then to Peggy's sur
prise she heard him call her as
sumed name. Everybody, rides
but only the Witch of the Night
rides free"
THE Witch of the Night rides
free" croaked the Crows. Peggy
felt herself pushed and pulled. and
then before she know what was
happening she had been rushed into
the swing.
"The Witch of the Night rides
free" cried the Turkey Buzzard,
and down the wire shot Peggy. A
thrill ran through her. 1t was fun
exciting fun. Involuntary she
pressed on the auto horn.
"Squawk! Squawk~ it sounded,
and the Birds screamed their laugh
ter
Out over the lake skinned
Peggy. Then, just as she got in the
middle, the wire suddenly sagged.
1t had given away at the lower end.
Too late, Peggy realized that she
had been caught in a plot. She was
plunging right toward the water.
In a moment she would be strug-
Cling in it. Perhaps she would be
drowned.
Letting 60 the swing, Peggy jump
ed far out to escape becoming en-
tangled in the wire. As she did so
she heard loud clatter below her
and in another second she landed
slam-bang on living cushion that
seemed suddenly to rise from the
lake.
Tomorrow will be told how Peggy Is
saved and how the mysterious foes are
caught.)

A Simple Way to
Remove 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 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, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instant
ly, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.

The Case of the Widow
Discussion of the Part She Plays in the Educa-

Young boys minds seem to be

her immense debt of gratitude"
No woman is ever grateful to

Second wives-a VIGOROUSLY spoiled

This is purely a talk on widows

a sort of Kelley cure for the early
matrimony habit.

War Tinnne
War Workers Desert
Post for Parade of
King Ak-Sar-Ben

When a parade is on, war work
and social affairs are temporarily
forgotten for nearly every maid and
matron marched in the great parade
this afternoon. The younger girls
who keep the days interesting are
nearly all members of the canteen
corps and only blue dresses and
wells interested them today for their
division was one OF the most eff
fective in the line OF march. No
worker was left behind. Even those
who have joined the business
worlds forces, deserted their type
writers and fell into step with their
units.
Matrons who have pledged their
cars and their services to Uncle Sam
were very smart and military in
their costumes of khaki, and the Red
Cross workers attracted a great deal
OF attention as they always do.
Nothing seems to make quite as
strong an appeal as the flowing
white veil with its red insignia of
this branch of the service.
With a sparkling fall day as a
setting and the best of military
bands as an inspiration, Omaha
femininity caught the spirit of affair
and only very grave excuse kept
anyone from the throngs OF partiots
who marched to show their loyalty
to the cause.

ADVICE TO THE
LOVE-L0RN
Flirting With o Soldier.

Dear Miss Fairfax There Is
among my friends a young man
whom I met through Irritation
Recently he left for camp and re-
quested me to correspond with him.
I have known him only short while
1.-TWO months), but In that time he
has proved himself gentleman, and
l have come to value his friendship
highly.
Shall I comply with his request,
or shall ! terminate the friendship
in view of the fact that 1t was based
on Irritation? I dislike taking the
latter course, but will Jake your ad-
vice. NORMA 3.
l heartily disbelieve In Irritation.
I as heartily disapprove Of making
someone pay for your blunders! You
should have never met this soldier
as you did; but now that he is leav-
ing for camp and you are unlikely
to see him again-don't suddenly get
"remorse." Letters will mean
great deal to him, for he will be
transplanted and lonely. If you
don't write he Is likely to say to him
self that you had no scruples while
he was giving you good time and
developed them later when he need
ed the cheering influence Of your
letters.

had heard and the warning she had

mind. Everywhere she went she
heard little snatches of argument
among the Birds which showed that
some one had been dropping dis
loval hints into their ears.
Shrieks OF glee came from one
corner of the green. There Peggy
found the Birds gathered around
the end of wire which stretched
down the hill and across the little
lake. On this wire the Birds were
having jolly slides, coasting into the
bushes on the opposite side of the
water.

rides" rasped a Turkey Buzzard,
who seemed to be in charge of the
fun. "The price is only two grass
hoppers. Everybody rides"
Peggy, drawing close, saw that
the coasting Birds were perched on
little swings-such as are found in
Bird cages. These swings slide
along the wire carrying the riders
skimming across the lake and into
the bushes. Birds garbed as Crows
