warned that if she opened her mouth
again about trade unions, she'd be
sent flying" and she had smoldered
ever since.
Annie listened, only half understand
ing, but somehow she suddenly re
membered the locked doors at the two
entrances, the piles OF inflammable
materials behind the board partition
She crept for solace into her little
dream world, the refuge her imagina-
ton had built to play in, her garden
of dreams with the high wall around
it so no one could see in. She thought
of Herbert Travis and how he smiled
down into her face and told her she
had IAN admirable intellect" and a
fine artistic sense, really" and that
there were "all sorts of chances in
the world for a girl like her"
The old, eternal hope. The promise
that never seemed to fulfill itself!
Only now it seemed wild, wonderful
glorious, golden vision, too dazzling
even to be looked at closely.
The noon hour ended. Annie went

THE FlRERRAND GIRL

There were no classes in stenog-
raphy, only in literature, English and
art, and when Annie went to them
they wearied her. She noticed that
the girls who got the most out or

were made pets of. Annie decided
they were more literary than she, and
had special gifts that showed off well
under cultivation. She had no gifts
that shone at entertainments.
Annie tried to like Miss Wells, but
she never managed to make herself
a favorite She was talking of her one
day at the shop during lunch hour
A swarthy-faced, fiery-eyed girl, who
worked near Annie and was now seat
ed beside her eating roll with
piece of smoked fish in it, cut into
Annie's praise with sort or con-
tempt:
"Huh-you make me sick with that
talk" said she. You think it's fine
of her to go spending her fathers
cash to help the working girls! How
did her rich father make his cash
already! Ask her that! My father
was killed in mill her father owned.
He got caught in machinery that
should of been made differentiated
so it couldn't hurt the men. There's
dozens of men hurt in his mill every
month and nobody ever hears word

We like nice things-music and pic

WITH THE WOMEN OF TO-DAY

With canning time coming on there
are probably a lot of women who will
be interested in the story of a GER
tain woman's club in Quincy, Ill. 1t
Is an unusual club, not one Of the best
dressed gossipy afternoon tea cards
and-a-prize kind. The club is organ
lied for service. Instead of wearing
their new suits and frocks the women
often wear costumes or take along
their large cover-all aprons.
Mrs. James Riggs who is president
OF the club says this of the founding
OF the organization:
Women often wish for an extra
pair of hands to help with the large
household tasks and the women living
In certain neighborhood in Quincy
solved the problem by forming the
Cooperative Housekeeping club. The
club meets at the homes of the various
members, each of whom arranges to
have some special work for the club
to do for her. One member had all
the curtains for her home made up
In one afternoon by the club, another
had rags sewed up for rugs and just
now the meetings are being devoted
to putting up fruits and vegetables,
the latter from the home gardens, and
this work will probably be the main
task throughout the summer months"
Mrs. Riggs, who was chairman Of
her home county branch Of the wom-
ems committee of the council of ma
tional defense during the war and a
leader in many other wartime activi-
ties, claims that the club is meeting
with great success and the members
are finding 1t big help to them. The
women find it especially helpful in the
canning season for now with several
pairs of hands peeling, washing scald-
ing the fruit and vegetables instead
Of the one pair the work is done in
less than half the time. Mrs Riggs
also claims that while the many hands
make light work that such club can
only be successful when confined to
no more than fifteen members for
there Is also truth in the saying that
TOO many cooks spoil the broth"

FamO Makes Heads
Clean and Healthy

Science knows that seborrhea
causes falling hair, dandruf and
finally badness.
Famo stops seborrhea by de-
stroying the deadly seborrhea ba-
cilli.
1t dissolves the dandruff and
makes the hair and scalp clean and
healthy.
The seborrhea germ attacks the
hair roots and unless it is checked,
kills the hair.
Famo kills the germ and makes
new healthy hair grow.
1t gives new lustre and sheen
to the hair and stops falling hair
and itchy scalp.
No massage Of the scalp is ne
cessary, as Famo is absorbed as
soon as applied.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBI EMS
BY Mrs. Ellxsheth Thontpson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a mar
ried woman twenty-six years old and
have been married four years Ny
husband was married before, his wife
obtaining a divorce on the grounds
of cruel and inhuman treatment. And
so / have to take what l get for
being fool enough to marry him. He
hits me when he gets angry.
Every time / say a word to him
about the way things are going he
threatens me and calls me terrible
names, so that our oldest son, three
years, is learning to swear, too.
/ have not had decent clothes since
l married him and / am ashamed to
be seen down town any more. Most
of our children's clothes l have to
make over out of what the neighbors
give me. We have two boys, one
three years and one fourteen months
old
What shall l do? Leave him? And
what shall l do with the children?
If it were not for them l should go
at once. He always tells me to go,
as he doesn't care for me, but he
won't offer any suggestion as to the
babies. MRS. E.
1t will be best for you to present
your case to the judge of the probate
court. Write to him or, preferably,
see him in person. He will have your
case investigated and will advise you
about separation and means of sup
porting the children.
Do not delay in this matter. Your
child is affected by his environment,
and for his sake you should bring
about change as quickly as possible
Dear Mrs. thompson: / have seen
a really fine fellow around town and
have been seeing him for quite
while I would like to meet him, but
nobody seems to know him How can
meet him? RAGING.
1t is useless for you to try to meet
the man. If you pursue him he will
have no respect for you and even if
you do meet will not care to be your
friend. Drop the matter and some
time you may meet him without any
effort on your part.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Ny hair is
a medium brown shade and my eyes
are blue. My complexion is very
clear. What color satin do you think
would look good on me?

Common garden sage brewed into a

turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui

blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.-Adv.

BLOT ON WARRIORS FAME
Miltiades, Victor at Marathon, Victim
of Overdue Eagerness for other
Military Successes.

Miltiades, the first great soldier of
Greece, is thought of by the world as
the heroic warrior who won the battle
of Marathon, b. c., 400. This battle
marked an important step toward the
aScendancy of Athens in Greece, and
Greece in the civilization of the world.
Besides superior numbers, the Persians
at Marathon were supported by their
feet, but Pats and Artaphernes, their
commanders, were foiled at every point
and their army defeated with great
slaughter by Miltiades. In his exalted
position, flushed with honor, he prom
ised the Athenians other victories.
Being granted ships and an expedition,
he proceeded against the island Of
Paros, which had helped Persia during
the war, and where he hoped to obtain
an abundance of gold. He failed in his
purpose there and was charged with
deceiving his countrymen, but died
from wounds received ON the trip to
Paros before his fine of so talents was
paid. History places Miltiades as a
great hero of his time and not as one
who was so inconsiderate in making a
foolish request, for the Athenians We're
just as inconsiderate in granting such
a request.
