CHAPTER VI

When Shirley Sumner descended to
the breakfast room on the morning
following her arrival in Sequoia, the
first glance at her uncle's stately
couDtenance informed her that during
the night something had occurred, to
irritate Colonel Seth Pennington and
startle him out of his customary bland
composure.

phone after dinner last night or did

she was as vaguely trouLted in the
knowledge that until she should grcceed

1t doesn't do much good to try to

To do this, get about four ounces of

when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips. ri
BY morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or

You will find. too. that all itching
