CHAPTER XIV
Mrs. Livingstone appeared at the
door of Cynthia's room by the time
that Dora had helped her cousin to
divest herself of her hat and coat
and had brought a wrapper from
the closet.
Lie down, dear" she was saying
as Mrs. Livingstone entered.
| Yes, lie down." Mrs. Livingstone
advised. You will have a full half
/ hour in which to rest before you

was to have her aunt leave here

to her cousin as she returned after
leaving her wraps in her own room.

Here Is Message That May
Mean An End To All of
Your Suffering

If you are just feeling the first
little twinging pains of Rheum-

take the right course at the out

self to fall a helpless victim to
|One of the most disabling and
painful diseases to which the

And if you have had Rheuma-

chances are that you have kept

that gallons of hniments and

will never rid you of this body
|wrecking, pain-racking disease.
The best that you can expect
from such treatment is some lit
tie temporary relief from the
sharp, shooting pains.
But you want more than mere
relief. You want to break the
6hackles of a disease that has
you SO firmly within its power.
You want a treatment that not

stops them forever, by reaching

Hard corns, soft corns or corns be-

lift off so easy. 1t is wonderful. Just
think! Not one bit of pain while ap-
plying Ice-mint or afterwards. 1t
doesn't even, irritate the surrounding

vents foot odors and keeps them
sweet and comfortable. 1t is greatly
appreciated by women who wear high

Try This If You
Have Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; 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 COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and 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
instantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft.
and 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. This sins
pie remedy has never been known
to fail.-AdV.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Dear Miss Fairfax:
What would you do if you were
l? l am we'll educated, pretty, and
have had unusual opportunities for
meeting men. Yet l have never made
a hit. / think | am just naturally
stupid. l was not a success socially,
and now that we have lost our
money and l am a stenographer at
SIS per, 1 do not feel that 1 am a
success in business either-it is only
that l am working for an old friend
of the family's or l would not be
able to hold down the job" l am
one of those foolish women that have
dabbled in many things, but have
never stuck to any one thing long
enough to make a success of it.
Though 1 look much younger, l am
thirty-one.
"OLD MAID"
Your estimate of yourself is not
very enthusiastic one, is 1t?
Can't you find something in your
self to admire and cultivate? With
good education and good looks
and enough critical faculty to write
about yourself as you have, surely
you ought to be able to treat your
own case as we'll as to diagnose it.
Because you have spent most of
your life "dabbling" need not pre-
vent you from now settling down
and mastering one thing. Why not
stop thinking about yourself and
your shortcomings and give your
entire attention to your present po-
sition and it's opportunities? Per-
haps it hasn't any! Well. then, in a
world as teeming with chances for
women as is our present little old
globe, l suggest that you look
around for the place into which you
will fit! Take stock of yourself.
Perhaps you are a good executive,
perhaps you are a sympathetic
stenographer who brings out the
ability of the person who is dealing
with you. Perhaps you would be a
good saleswoman. Maybe you have
some artistic ability-or know a lot
about cooking. Find out what your
marketable ability is-then take it
to the market and insist on getting
the best possible price for it. Your
letter suggests humor and is dis
tinctly indicative of character and
ability. I fancy you are really a
clever, worthwhile woman, and
! that you can make a great deal of
yourself if you simply choose. Go
ahead, my friend-choose!

followed farming fer many years in
