pany today declared four extra divi-
dends of p of l per cent on the COM
mon stock. to be paid during the next
four quarters. together with the usual
quarterly disbursements of 1A per
cent each on the common and preferred
stock.
Earl d. Babet. president. said after
directors meeting that nothwith-

Grating expenses the extra dividends
were justified because of the increased

that Virginia might like Jim's lilac
lady, / hurried out to join my two
handsome boys"
On the way out Jim stopped at the
telephone desk to leave word that he
was at the Rochambeau in case Mrs.
Bryce and Captain Winston called.
l couldn't stifle a pang of jealous
wonder. Was it Betty with whom
Jim had made plans for the evening
without consulting me?
In another moment / just choked
that fear to death and girded myself
for the winning of Virginia.
She greeted us very graciously on
our arrival-and her cordiality ex-
tended to Neal, who was too alb
sorbed in Phoebe to notice whether or
not Virginia was among those present
at her own party. Things went along
splendidly at first, and l began to
hope that the beautiful hostess
might at least like me-even IL the
warmer loving were several degrees
removed.
After a edlicious and well-chosen
dinner that stayed within the war
time three courses" Virginia sug-
gested that we go to the little game
room" for our coffee and cordials
And when Neal followed Phoebes
lead and said he didn't want so
much as a creme dc menthe, de-

of a perfect day.

it will fix me up, and sure enough

When a Girl MarrieS"
Ry
New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing
Problems of a Girl Wife
N ANN Isle

Jimmie, dear, 1 got into a horrid
mess to-day. II invited the girls
to lunch and found / hadn't enough
money to pay, so l had to borrow a
dollar from Virginia. i explained
to her that | was dreadfully careless
about money and that you'd be wild
if you knew I'd come out without
enough. Well-and then after Id
done that, it turned out to be unnec-
essary, for Sheldon Blake came over
to the table to have coffee with us
and he took the check-I think he
has a regular crush on Virginia,
JIM"
Did she seem interested-im-
pressed at all?" asked Jim anx-
iously.
1t seemed queer that this was the
part of my narrative that interested
him most | had thought he would
either be annoyed at my borrowing
from Virginia, or amused at the way
it turned out that L need never have
done it. But his mind was very
thoughtful, and he scowled a bit
and went back to brushing his hair
again in silence when l told him that
Virginia just took Sheldon's admira-
ton for granted. He settled his cuffs

he spoke again, but his words made
me realize nothing l said had escaped
him.
You must have regular allow
ance, Anne. I'm going to turn over
the Haldane check to you each
month. l wish it were more-but, at
least, you can be sure of that hun
dred dollars. And with this game
ankle of mine about all you can be
sure of is the money l make-writ-
ing about it,"
"Oh, Jim, tell me the truth" 1
exclaimed, rushing over to tie his
scarf. rs that inspectorship too
much for you? You must give it
up at once
Jim laughed.
There we go-off at a tangent
again. l like my job-fine. Now
Ill go see how near ready young Neal
is-and you stop prettying me up
and do little prinking of your
own"
l hurried into my very best gray
chiffon-chief extravaganza of my
engagement days-tucked an orchid

a season-into my belt, flung on my

Plenty of Milk
Each Day

Two general maxims should be
learned by the people of the United
States: Every adult should have at
least "a third of a quart of milk
each day. and mo family of five
should buy any meat until it has
bought three quarts of milk"
One reason for urging the use of
much milk, is that it is our best
source of certain mineral salts, nota-
bly, lime, which the body needs. 1t
is so easy to use milk in cooking that
one scarcely needs these reminders
of different ways; from the United
States Food Administration.
For Breakfast-Milk to drink on
cocoa, on cereal, milk or creamed
toast.
For Lunch, Dinner or Supper
Milk soups and chowders, oyster
stew, cottage cheese, creamed sauces
for vegetables, meat, etc, custards,
ice creams, sherbets, blanc manges,
rice puddings, tapioca puddings,
junket, in all baking and in milk
drinks, such as matted milk, egg
nog, etc.

No "Fourth Meal"

Patriots are not having fourth
meals. Three meals a day are
enough. A fourth meal uses some of
the food that should be on it's way
across the Atlantic in cargo ships
food that this country has pledged
itself to send.
When the country pledges itself,
that means you. One way to keep
the pledge is to stay away from aft
ernoon tea, when you have had a
good luncheon and expect to have a
good dinner a few hours later at
home.
Other fourth meals are late sup
pers, church suppers and sometimes
banquets and club luncheons. When
these meals take the place of the
regular luncheon or dinner or sup
per there can be no objection to
them as long as they follow the reg
ulations of the food administration
In that case they are not a fourth
meal" but one of the three neces-
sary daily meals.
If you belong to a club or church
or society that is planning any kind
of banquet or luncheon see to it that
this meal is a third and not a fourth.
The fourth is no more necessary
than a fifth-wheel on a wagon.

balanced the little tumbling figures
of the odd little game called "cul-

hands with delight whenever her OPP
ponent juggled one of the leaden lit
tie men into the hole marked 100"
Suddenlp l became aware of the
fact that Jim was Watching the

Virginia was watching Jim with
two creases between her swallows
wing eyebrows. There was something
breathless about the pose of both
brother and sister. But even while

about, Jim Strengthened up, glanced
around the room and with a glad cry
rushed over to greet Terry and Bet
ty. who stood in the doorway search
ing, no doubt, for us.
Betty was marvellous in the jade
green she so often affects. She was
as distinguished in her old, mer
maid way as Virginia in her marble
Greek-statue beauty.
''Who is that charming woman ?"
asked Virginia in the most enthusi-
astc tone I've ever heard heard her
use to or of any one save Jim.
Betty Bryce-she's a friend of
Jim She met her abroad" I re-
piled in a tone l struggled to keep
even and uncolored by new phase
of the jealousy Betty always caused
me.
But all during the rest of the eve
ming that fear grew. For the Vir-
ginia who was revealed to Betty was
warm, interested, gracious, anxious
to please. Without effort Betty
evoked in Jim's sister a friendly
warmth 1 had struggled in vain to
summon. In a chill premonition L

Washing Won't Rid
9 Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve it, then pou
destroy it entirely: To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir.
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, if not all, ow your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap.
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every singl,
sign or trace of it; no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop al
once, and your hair will be fluffy
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, an(
look and feel a hundred times better
. You can get liquid arvon at an!
drug store. 1t is inexpensive ant
