where YOU can see it the first thing
in the morning, and take it out with
YOU. l feel much better now, and
I've made the note just frigid
enough to make her feel small when
she reads it."
Helen thought about the matter
in spite of herself all that evening.
She thought of it long after the
lights were out and the cold night
air blowing the curtains inward had
things of this kind always annoyed
Helen. She hated to admit that
any one could make her give a sec
ond thought to an intentional
slight, but try as she would, hurts
of this kind always fingered.
In the morning as she was dress
ing she remembered the incident
again, and took special pains to see
| that Warren took it out with him.
When she was sure that the letter
was actually out of the house and
on its way she drew a breath of re-
lie and went about her usual morn
ing tasks.
Mary came in while Helen was
! busy with the beds. "A letter for
you ma'am," she said, handing
.
Helen took il without recognizing
the handwriting. and tore it open.
The note inside was from Beatrice
Wentworth, and ran as follows:
Dear Helen-I know YOU will
forgive my tardiness in not writing
to thank you for those lovely hand
kerchiefs you sent me at Christmas.
But my mother died during the holi-
days, and l am afraid that all my
friends suffered in consequence, for
made no preparations of any kind
this year.
Your remembrance was more
than thoughtful and reached me at
time of great mental anguish. /
appreciate both the gift and the mo-
! tive that prompted it.
Most sincerely,
"BEATRICE WENTWORTH"
| Helen, who had set down on the
| bed TO read the note, let it fall into
her lap with a little gasp of dis
| may. She might have known, if she
/ had stopped to think, that Beatrice
! Wentworth was not the kind of a
woman to neglect anything like the
! acknowlelgment of a gift without
some perfectly good reason for do
ing it. And that not had been sc
nasty and pointed, and would reach
/ lltI at d time "n6n Sne neeQeC
sympathy and understanding. He.
len blamed herself terribly for heI
! impulsiVe act,
If only she had not yielded to that
sudden desire to be even" And
there wasn't a chance, either. OF
/ Warren's neglecting to mail it, She
! had lectured him so often about
! carrying letters about with him
that he always mailed any letter she
gave him as soon as he reached the
mail box. Well, it was too late to
do anything now. OF course, she
could write another letter, telling
! Beatrice how grieved she had been
! to, hear of her sorrow. But that
would never counteract the other
| letter. Helen had written with in
territorial malice, and no woman
| could read it and not feel the un-
/ derlying motive.
Through her readiness to jump to
conclusions, she had wounded with
out reason a good friend.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
~. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing ev-
cry particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap,
and a few ounces will supply every
member Of the family for MONTHS
