CHAPTER XXXXI


Copyright, 1918, by Star Company
Had Mrs. Livingstone's statement
with regard to Dora's tendency to
jealousy been true. the girl would
have had no reason to show this
weakness on the evening on which
she, her betrothed, cousin and moth
er attended the Philharmonic con-
cert.
In fact, Milton was left so entire
ly to Dora's tender mercies that he
himself noticed it and remarked
upon it during one of the intermis-
sions between the musical numb bers.
Il seem to be stunned by all eX-
cept Dora" he said laughingly,
leaning across his fiancee to address
Mrs. Livingstone and Cynthia. "On
the way down in the automobile 1
was made to sit in one of the small
seats while you three ladies sat be-
hind me on the rear seat where
you could talk and ignore me. Then
when we arrived here, you, Mrs
Livingstone, and Cynthia went in
first in the most exclusive way, plac-
ing Dora next to me and telling me
to take the aisle seat where l must
talk to her or to nobody. And she
has yawped three times in five min
utes, in spite of all my efforts to be
agreeable"
Cynthia was three seats from him
with Mrs. Livingstone and Dora
separating her from the speaker
but she heard every word he said
and suspected that he was endeav-
oring to make her look up or reply
to him. But she studied her pro-
gram and pretended to be absorbed
in its contents.
Mrs. Livingstone accepted the
complaints with her usual self-pos-
session.
when a man is engaged to a
girl" she remarked. "he is always
grateful to be allowed to sit where
he need talk to nobody but her. My
dear Milton, you cannot make us

Are Discussed
= nv MFRS WILSON WOODROW

BY MRS. WILSON WooDKo"
Several weeks ago a very interest
ing man said to me in the course OF
a conversation:
I'm turning over in my nina al
present a rather original idea whlch
has suggested itself to me, and Whlch
appeals to me more and more lhe
longer 1 consider it, There are all
sorts of organizations in existence
of course, for war work ana war re-
liefAyouid say the held was over
stocked, If anything-but there is
none of them directly represehtatlNeSs 60 %
of the man in uniform, OF aoIe ~
voice his especial views ana oplE-
IONS.
NOW I have been thinking that
~ a society were formed to which
only the parents of soldiers ana
sailors or their next of kin were
eligible it could not only admlraply
supplement the work OF the heu
Cross. Y. NJ. &. A., ETC., but woliu
have a distinct scope and province
of its own" Then he plunged INTO
an eager outline of what he pellHNeu
such society could accomplish.
A few days later l got TO talklhS
on q railway journey WIN - W
man who was travelling in the same
direction as myself, and she voiced
almost identically the same idea. She
asserted that the conception was ner
very own, and seemed rather mltteG
when I intimated that l had heard
the suggested scheme advanced oe-
fore. ..- .,
And on my return home friend
of mine f1uttered eXcitedly up 10 me
in the street,
"Oh, I'VE got the most wonder,
full subject for an article for you,
she said. And it's all my own
idea, too. 1t came to me last night,
like a sort of an inspiration, while l
was knitting. And it's this: why
don't you propose that a society he
formed to be composed only of peo-
pie who have sons or brothers in the
Army or Navy? Don't you see how
an organization like that, with Its
branches in every little village ard
hamlet, would not only be cham
pion for the boys, but at the same
time a tremendous bulwark to the
government?
"It could not be swayed by any
influence except the advantage OF
the boys and the welfare of the
country, and it would be in posi-
ton to root out and nip in the bud
any efforts at German propaganda,

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, 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
dissolve it, then you destroy it en-
tirely. To do. this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; ap-
ply 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 mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.

Il am entirely satisfied" Milton
declared, coming up gallantly to the
challenge. Al am merely comment
ing on THO fact that you and Gym
thia are terribly exclusive. You act
as if l had smallpox or something.
Dora, | must beg of you not to yawn
while l am talking. My voice seems
to have a soporific effect upon you"
A Strange Combination
Don't be such a goose!" Dora
the King of England was sitting
next to me, would yawn."
But / am not the King of Eng
land" Milton began when the start
ing of the music silenced any fur
ther badinage.
Cynthia, her eyes fixed on the or
chestra, seemed to listen with an in
tentness that was almost painful.
But at heart she was thinking of
every word that Milton had just
said, wondering, for the hundredth
time, how people who were presum-
ably in love could, to all appear
ances, be as Indifferent to each other
as were Milton Van Saun and Dora
Livingstone. Yet Dora must love
Milton, if, as Mrs. Livingstone had
said, the girl was jealous of his slight
attentions to her cousin.
Slight attentions! Had they been
more than that? Cynthia allowed
herself the indulgence of musing on
the various times she and Milton
had been alone together. She. re-
membered that evening in hel
uncle's den when Milton told hel
how sorry he was for her.
She remembered also another oc.
casion on which he had tried tc
sympathize with her and had as
sured her that if she ever wished tc
talk to him of her trouble he would
be honored to have her do so. But
most clearly of all, she recalled the

Inspectors Of Weights and
Measures to Meet He 4

A convention of inspectors of
weights and measures from all cities
and counties in Pennsylvania will
be held in September, probably in
this city. Arrangements for the
program have been started. While
it has not been decided where to hold
the convention, a number of off,
cials favored meeting in Harrisburg.
A district convention was held q few
weeks ago at Reading.
At that convention a representa-
tive of the Food Administration of
Pennsylvania appeared before the in
sepctors and advised them to report
any cases of short weight to the To-
cal food and fuel administrators,
who will then proceed under the
Lever act and prosecute violators.
At the convention in September, it
is likely the officials will decide
whether O new weight and measure
law will be urged or whether they
will organize a campaign for amend
ments to the present act which was
passed in 1911 and amended in 1913.

shield was cumbersome affair. and

keeping his shield meant that he had

his body was carried home upon it as
