Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair hIit-
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
ard entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive SOAP
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly III
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last every one in the family for
months.

silent about Mildred's indiscreet

THE HEART BREAKER
A REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
BY VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN DE WATER
CHAPTER LXyV.

CHAPTER LXXV.
In spite of Honoras utmost en-
deavors to keep the talk at dinner
that night on safe topics there were
some awkward moments.
Mildred impaired her news with
regard to Harold Hilton to Mrs.
though striving to appear interetao
Higgins. The kindly matron, al
could not forget that Mildred had
only recently broken her engage
ment to Arthur Bruce. Nor could
she understand how the modern
young person can so soon recover
from romantic experience. Had she
been in Mildred's place she would
have been prostrated at the sever
ance of such a suitable alliance.
1t was in these stilted terms that
the old-fashioned soul communed
with herself.
She tried, nevertheless. to ignore,
what Arthur had told her and to
chat of matters foreign to the af-
fair. And. in doing so. her conver-
sational bark ran upon the rocks.
II declare" she said, II am sorry
for DR.. and Mrs. Chandler! To think
that such an agreeable young man
unenvible notoriety! And now per-
haps he is going to die"
There was moments silence.
Then Honora, feeling that something
must be said, murmured-"l hope
not"
80 do L." Mrs. Higgins agreed
promptly. Here. surely, was a topic
that was far away from the broken
engagement. Besides she was at
heart gossip and took genuine
pleasure in discussing the latest
scandal. "Do you know, dear girls.
she went on. that l cannot be suHl-
ciently grateful that neither of you

proceedings-for IL he dies
Mildreds sudden exclamation, ac-
companied by a harsh laugh, star
tied both her companions by it's We
hemance.
Yes, Mrs. Higgins" she burst
forth carcastically-"whe man
dies his divorce proceedings stop!
But even If it is agreeable to you
to roll all those horrible details as
sweet morsel under your tongue,
some of the rest of US would like
to avoid them"
"Milly" Honora warned.
Il beg your pardon!" Mrs. Higgins
said stitiy. II did not suppose that
| was saying anything that would
offend anybody"
Had she been another type of wo-
man, she would have been angry at
the girls speech. AS it was, hurt
feelings usually took the place of
anger with her. And wounded feel
ing is sometimes more exasperating
display of temper would be. So
Mrs. Higgins apology but drove Mil
dred on to further Incorporate
speech.
For PHYS sake. Mrs. Higgins,
don't take that tone! 1 suppose now
that I have hurt you! But perhaps
you can understand that this conver-
sation has been painful to me when
l tell you that Thomas Chandler
wanted me to marry him and that
refused him"
"Milly" Honora's warning this
time was severe. BE careful what
you say!"
Mrs. Higgins Apologies
oh" Mildred tossed her head. II
suppose I have a right to say what
l please! If not 1 may as well
/ leave the table and go to my own
room until dinner is over"
Mrs. Higgins is now so over
whelmed by her own lack of tact
that she forgot her hurt feelings.
MY dear Mildred" she protested,
"I beg your pardon! l might have
known | was on delicate ground.
l should have remembered young
Mr.. Chambers attentions to you and
should have paused to consider that
discussion of what has occurred
might be painful to you. But I did
not suspect that you had refused him.
Forgive me, please"
As always when apologized to,
Mildred's anger evaporated.
Wen not talk about it any more,
Mrs. Higgins" she said magnani-
ously Perhaps | spoke more sharp
ly than l should. | am sorry IL

would be hardly kind of me to dis
cuss his mistakes and downfall. Not
but what he brought all this trouble
upon himself. In my own soul
never quite trusted him, in spite of
his being so clever and amusing and
such good company"
After dinner Honora followed Mrs
Higgins upstairs.
May l have a word alone with
you?" she asked.
Then. when the pair were together
in the housekeeper's room with the
door closed, Honora spoke gravely.
Il just want to explain to you,
Mrs. Higgins, that Milly talked very
rashly tonight at dinner Natural
ly, she has been annoyed by all this
