To be possessed Of head Of heavy
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
matter of using a little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiuffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre. and try as you
will you cannot find trace Of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
d0wny at first-yes-but really new
hair sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
dfuff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few monients-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

meal. 1t made her heart ache till she
noted that Clay gave the waiter o.

excitement on either side. She re-
solved that Mr.. Wimburn must be

Next morning the attack on the
shops began in earnest. Clay did not
lunch with them, and so Daphne and
her mother ate in the restaurant of a
department store and paid for their
own meal. 1t made a difference.
Even the bargain prices for food to-
tailed up unpleasantly, and Mrs. Kip
missed Clay's shining presence.
The chaos of the styles was so COM

roof garden, where Daphne and he
danced with other laity in the inter-
walls between professional dances on
the floor and vaudeville turns on the
stage.
The next day there was another
foray on the shops and the dressmak-
ers, with battling result. The list of
necessaries with their minimum prices
began to grow SO long and ominous
that they decided to give up keeping a
list. They would buy what just had
to be got, as cheaply as they could,
and if they overran their appropria-
ton papa would simply have to help
them out.
The wedding date had yet to be
fixed and the invitations ordered, with
their royal phraseology in the latest
formula.
They placed the day late enough for
Bayard and his wife to get back from
Europe. Bayard had not written, of
course, since his marriage, except a
brief note from the steamer the day
he landed. But he had set six weeks
as the limit of his absence.
One evening Clay announced that he
had reserved three seats for a new
comedy that had opened with success
few nights before. Mrs. Kip begged
to be excused from going.
Clay urged her to reconsider her re-
fusal. "Sure you won't go? You ought
at least to see the star. Sheila Kemble.
Some people say she looks little like
Daphne. Of course she doesn't; she's
not tenth as beautiful or young or
attractive, but there is a kind of a
resemblance. And they say she gets a
thousand dollars a week. Daphne
could give her cards and spades and
beat her. Sure you won't go?"
81 wouldn't put my poor feet into
those tight slippers tonight to see
Daphne herself play Lady Macbeth"
So Clay and Daphne went alone.
After the last act he proposed Clare
mont for supper. Daphne accepted
with zest. They entered an open taxi
cab and scudded up the long bias seam
of Broadway to Seventy-second street
and whisked across to Riverside drive
and up its meandering splendor.

CHAPTER ".

The two old Kips sat brooding over
their mystery. The fruit of their al
most forgotten romance. the little,
squalling, helpless baby that had come
to them and strangely evolved into a
great, grown man, was now in the tolls
of romance in his turn. He had found,
in far city, somebody there that
he loved better than his family or his
friends or his freedom.
Daphne was delighted at first. Then
she realized that the news Of his mar
rage would throw her own plans into
disarray. She sighed:

II suppose I'd better postpone my
wedding till we get Bayard of our
hands,"
"That's fine ideal" her father ex-
claimed. It was always a joy to him
to defer an expense. Mrs. Kip flung
him glare and Daphne rolled her
eyes In distress, but he redeemed him
self with an unexpectedly graceful
turn. SIT let's us keep Daphne with
us a little longer"
Daphne wrote this new decision to
Clay. He sent back letter that fairly
howled with protest.
When Daphne told her parents Of
Clay's anguish they made light of it.
It was long, long while since they
had been young. They had learned
that marriages contain surprises that
may sometimes be postponed without
misfortune.
( Bayard did not write again for sew
eral days. This time he wrote to
Daphne:
Dear Siss-Yours Of no date Gas usuaD

can hardly believe that my little sis is an
nouncing intention to join the procession
and get married, too. You're more SEN
sible than used to think. This Is sub

So we get married Thursday and sail
Saturday. Just time to get settled in our
dove-cote before leaving.

cept your kind offer to pay me visit
Then the blessed wifelet darlingly sug-
gested that her sweet sister-in-law-to-be
should come to New York and mako our
apartment her home while she shops.
We won't get back from honeymoon
hike for six weeks at least. You and
mother just settle down there until you
have finished shopping. Will leave key
and instructions with superintendent.
The letter ended with the usual
oceans of love and kisses and the
usual haste. 1t set the family to pom
dering. Old Wesley was the first to
speak and his train of thought startled
the women:
$50 he's going, to get married tomor-
row. That's awful sudden! Saves us
buying a wedding present, though !"
When he had recovered from the i'm
pact of his wife's look he saved him
self again with a quick, pleading sug-
gestion: "What was thinking was
it leaves more money for Daphne's
trousseau."
The poor wretch had grown used to
seeing unexpected gifts of fortune
float into view like soap bubbles, drift
close in iridescent loneliness, and then
wink out, leaving hardly a damp spot.
AS soon as he had bravely added
what he had saved from his sons we'd
ding to what he had already voted
to his daughters trousseau he was
doomed to learn that Daphne could
not start East to buy clothes to get
married in until she had bought some
clothes to start East in. And, besides

RACE RIOT|NG
IN CHICAGO
One KILLED and Fifty Injured
in Clash.
THE DISORDERS CONTINUE.
Authorities May Ask Governor to
Send State .Troops-Trouble Start
ed on Bathing Beach.

Chicago, July 29.-Unless the police
are able to quen the race riots in
Chieagos s'black belt" which began
Sunday night and continues, with one
dead and more than fifty Injured,
city authorities will ask Governor
L0wden to send regiment OF state
militia to restore order.
Despite the fact fifty mounted po-
lice and 100 patrolmen were on duty
in the district with orders to disarm
pedestrians and arrest rioters, des-
perate disturbances were reported
from more than, dozen districts. A
force Of 500 patrolmen were held In
reserve at the South Side police sta
tions and were kept busy answering
calls. A score of more negroes ana.
white men were reported beaten and
a dozen arrests were made.
Trouble between whites and negroes
was renewed when Moses Thomas, z
negro, fred several shots at a wagons
load OF white workmen being taken to
a South Side factory.
When an attempt was made by the
whites to disarm Thomas, a dozen
negroes rushed to his assistance.
Hundreds of white men and negroes
were gathering in groups on the side
walk and Philip Groals, a patrolman,
had Thomas in custody when police
in response to a riot call, arrived.
Accounts of the origin Of the trou-
BILE differ, but the version accepted by
the police is that the fighting started
at the Twenty-ninth street bathing
beach, where the whites and negroes
are accustomed to swim in Lake Mich
igan, although the two races are sep
arated by an imaginary line.
This version of the affair says that
a negro boy on a raft crossed the
boundary line and that white boys
threw stones, knocking the colored lad
into the water.
He was drowned. A general fight
developed between the races and riot
calls brought hundreds of police into
the. colored district, the center of
which is around Thirty-first and State
streets, more than mile from the
beach.
Negroes asked policeman to ar
rest white boy and when he refused
the negroes began to beat the white,
lad. Negro bathers from another
beach at Twenty-ffth street, attracted
by the fighting, came in force to the
rescue and soon stones and clubs were
hurled in all directions, many people,
both white and black, being injured
by the missiles.
After the fighting near the beach
had been quelled, trouble broke fur
ther west near the center of the negro
district.
It is estimated that there are close
to 10000 negroes in Chicago, nearly
$4,000 Of whom were drawn here DUR
ing the last three or four years by
the attractive wages in shops and fac
tories engaged in manufacturing war
materials.

HUGHES PROPOSES
-FOUR RESERVATIONS
Says United states Should
Guard It's Interests.

washington, July 29.-The prudent
course for the United States to puf-
sue would be to enter the proposed
league of snations with reservations
of reasonable character, adequate
to our security, which would meet with
ready assent, and thus establish
condition of amity at the earliest pos
sible moment
Charles Evans Hughes, President
Wilson'S opponent in the last presi-
Dental campaign, SO stated in a let
ter addressed by him to Senator Hale,
Republican, Maine, which was made
public.
Mr.. Hughes declaration was made
In response to a communication from
Mr.. Hale in which the senator ex-
pressed the sopinion that the United
! States may safely enter the league
''by the senate attaching certain re
servations to the covenant which
would limit fhe participation of the
United States in the league.
MANY of us in the senate are in
favor of the United States entering
league of nations provided that in
doing so we do not sacrifice the SOW
ereignty of traditional policies of our
country, Mr. Hale said.
There is plain need for a league
of nations in order to provide for the
adequate development Of international
law, for, creating and maintaining or
gans of international justice and the
machinery Of coneiliation and confer
ence, and for giving effect to measure
OF international corporation which
may from time to time be agreed
upon," Mr.. Hughes wrote.
There is also the imme ediate exig-
ency to be considered. 1t is manifest
that every reasonable effort should be
made to establish peace as promptly
as possible and TO bring about a con
dltion whereby Europe can regain its
