To be possessed of a head of
heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous,
fluffy, wavy and free from dan
druff is merely matter of using
a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine row-it costs but a few
cents--all drug stores recommend
it-apply a little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an
appearance of abundance, fresh
ness, fluffiness and an incompar-
able gloss and lustre, and try as
you will you can not 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 downy at first--yes
but really new hair-sprouting
out all over your scalp-Danderine
is, We believe, the only sure hair
grower. destroyer of dandruff 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, mois.
ten cloth with little Danderine
and carefully draw it through your
hair-taking one small strand at 8
time. Your hair will be soft, glossy
and beautiful in just a few mo
ments-a delightful surprise await.

Every Soldier a Gentleman.

II have had more than 10000
gentlemen in my club in the last
seven or eight months" says Allen
Cox, the war camp. community
service representative at Macon. Ga.
Never once in that time has single
one of the 100000 soldiers who have
been entertained here committed
any act that would be described as
otherwise than gentlemanly. And
yet they say that army life brutalizes
a man." .. -. T., Ga. ., 49,. 3
The most popular. person in this
war camp community service is
the tiny flaxen-haired three-year-old
daughter of E. ]. Garmhausen, the
club manager. Perhaps it is because
they are used to discipline, but all
the visiting soldiers do exactly as
she directs.

When in doubt wear black and
white" should be as closely followed
as any rule OF Hoyle. Black and
white make a smart costume. While
unique stionably striking, it is never
loud. There is such difference,
you know! In this model a blouse
of white crepe de chine in, beauti-
fully heavy quality furnishes a back
ground for darn-stitch embroidery
of black silk floss. This conven-
tiona1 design works up quickly.
Black jet buttons, closely set, mark
the center front. The same EN-
broidery trims yoke Of white
which supports a skirt of black
charmeuse satin. The, skirt is cut
in one with the front panel that ex-
tends above the waistline and fas-
tens to the blouse. Black buttons
outline a graceful kimono sleeve of
white crepe. A broad hat of black
lisere straw is faced with black
satin and trimmed with a jet orna-
ment. This costume is stnkingly
smart and entirely appropriate for
wear at spring weddings or formal
daylight functions,

ghost which had appeared before

~ The brilliant glare of the electric
lamp threw the shadow of the leaf
ahead and enlarged il, until it was
the size OF a human. AS the edge
of the leaf nuttered in the wind the
shadoW appeared to be dancing. The
headlight acted just like moving
picture machine and the leaf was
like a film. -
Peggy saw it all in moment.
She saw, too, signs of the guilt of
Fred, the fireman. for the stem of
the leaf was securely fastened to the
top of the lamp. That is what Fred
had been doing when he disappeared
from the cab at the junction.
Tearing the leaf loose, Peggy hur-
ried back into the cah..
Peggy held the leaf up before
Engineer Bill. He could see it, but
all he saw of her was a wisp Of
steam 49,,
Here's the dancing figure that

Engineer Bill nearly fell out OF

But he put out his hand and took
the leaf.

Stuck to the headlight Of the loco
motive was a dead leaf.

Now Fred. the fireman, tried a
new form Of mischief. He neglected
his FIRE. Number *337 began to get
hungry and when it got. hungry the
big locomotive lost steam. Sick as
he was, Engineer Bill noticed this.
He4glanced at his steam gauge, then
gave quick orders to Fred.
Keep up your fire." he, shouted.
Were losing time" -. '-
Fred jumped to his work and soon
had the fire raging as hot as ever.
But as Engineer Bill grew weaker
and weaker. and dropped more and
more, Fred slackened in his, work. 1t
was mean, and Peggy grew indig-
nant. ,"
Swooping down. into the tender,
she picked up a piece of coal. This
she threw with all her might at Fred,
catching him in the ear. He gave
yell, and clapped his hat to his
head. Peggy picked up another
lump Of coal and, bang" she hit
Fred on the other ear. As he
swirled around she cried out to him:
Get busy with that fire, you
Stacker" ~ /
Fred looked all around, and Peg
gy let fly another chunk Of coal. Fred
ducked his head, but the coal
caught him right on the tip Of his
nose.
"Get busyw 'shrieked Peggy.
Fred, badly frightened. didn't wait
for another warning. He went to
work with a vim, and soon Number
337 was roaring along with all the
steam its boilers would carry.
By now Engineer Bill was nearly
| fainting. His eyes were CLASSY and
he scarcely could hold his throttle,
Peggy climbed up beside him and
put her hands to brace him.
AS she did so she looked ahead
The Night Flyer was roaring into a
town. Ahead were switch lights
all of them green. the color Of
safety. But suddenly, as they
flashed by one Of them, Number 357
gave great lureh to- one side and
jumped into side track. RICH,
ahead was a standing passenger train
waiting for the Night Flyer to 60

ing Engineer Bill a. push that Jared
all his senses back into action. Or
went the air brakes, back went the

train lunged on.
