Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruf completely
and that is TO dissolve IL. This de
stroys II entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces Of plain, ordi-
nary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough 10 mois-
ten the scalp and rub il in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning. most if not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications viii
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace Of
II, no matter how much dandrun
you may have.
You will find, too, that all itchinf
and digging OF the scalp will stop
instantly and your hair will be
fluffy. lustrous, glossy, silky and
so:t, and look and feel a hundred
times better.

Revelations of a Wife
My Heart and My Husband
BY ADELE GARRISON

WHO Is THIS PERSON WHO
STARTLED MADGE'S FATHER?
Involuntarily ] turned my head
10 see what IL was that had SC
shocked my father.
/ hadn't far to look. At the table
Just back OF Us were seated a man
and a woman. both frankly and in
sOlently staring at Us. Upon the face
of the man, a sleek haired, shifty-
eyed individual, there was written
only curiosity. but the face of his
woman companion showed malevo-
lent recognition in the gaze she bent
upon my father.
She was a tall. magnifcently built
woman, whose age IL was hard to
determine because OF the elaborate
makeup with which her face was
covered. II was a makeup which
reminded me unpleasantly of the
atrOcious mask with which Lillian
Underwood used 10 disguise her
high-bred though fading beauty. I'm
order 10 play the game" as she
expressed IL, with her selfish hus-
band. But never did Lillian's face,
indeed. never could Liilian's face
show the evil that lurkeG in every
ineament OF the woman at the next
table.
They must have been seated az
the table but a short time. for re-
membered looking around only a
few moments before when their
table was occupied by a young
pretty and giddy girl with a devoted,
also youthful cavalier. Because my
back was toward them the woman
evidently hadn't had a good look al
me. l was startled TO see q look leap
into her eyes that for a moment
blOtted out the sneering evil OF the
gaze she had given my father. II
was q look which held involuntary
horror. and also recognition. swift
and certain. And yet I was certain
that never in my life had I seen her
Eyes that Stare.
Her expression was so conn elling
that for 4 long moment her eyes
some hypnotic power. Then the
hardened f-contrOf-evidently ac-
quired from years of experience.
which was almost the first thing I
noticed about her-came 70 her res
cue. and she wiped both her horror
and recognition from her coun-
tenance as easily as she would have
rubbed chalk from a blackboard.
But into her eyes there crept an
other eXpression--a shrewd, calcu-
lating. sinister lOok-which made
me shiver. Abruptly she took her
eyes from mine, spoke TO her COM
panion in low voice. evidently Civ
ing him some admonition concern
ing us.
The moment which seemed so
long TO me. was. in reality but a
few seconds. I turned back 10 my
