ing herself" But 1 shall cut her
now. L never intend to see her
again."
1 was secretly glad. The talk
turned to dresses, and aunt Harriet
had me put on a dress of silver lace
which had come home that day. She
looked it over and approved, de-
cided 1 had better have my hair
done in a more youthful fashion,
and advised a very little black tint

Makes the eyes rounder and
more serious looking. The unso-
phisticated baby type is the rage this
winter and you'll do very well for
that"
Father had finished the book-a
discourse on the new political stu
alton following q recent presidential
election. He had spent less than an
hour glancing over it, his attention
even then half given to our talk.
That evening 1 heard him hold forth
for an hour on the turn in politics.
He had = strange knack of getting
everything out of a book by glanc-
ing through, a combination of really
keen intelligence and a memory that
never failed. But his pose was that
he knew nothing and read very lit
tie, and cared for nothing serious.
1.-The Ribbles are coming back
next week from Florence" he re-
marked.
Aunt Harriet's eyes glanced. IT
must get them for dinner before the
Marsden's," she said promptly.
You won't though. Gwen, you
see has them tied up for the winter.
Stayed with them in Florence.
They're to be the social lions this
season."
My aunt crossed to the telephone.
Ten minutes later she was saying:
Eyes. a dinner two weeks from
Wednesday. I just wanted to Sc
cure you, Gwen dear, as my star
guest, I'll have your invitation sent
you later. Oh, do bring them.
Indeed, yes. I've met them, but only
casually. You will bring them?
How sweet of you! I'll ask the am
bassador too. He'll adore you,
Gwen. You must wear blue, though.
It's his favorite color"
She left the phone triumphant.
But I thought you hated Gwen!"
l said.
II do" she answered cheerfully.

BEAUTY HIM

The question of the right shampoo
at the right time is Of major i'm
portance For without we'll
groomed, glossy hair no woman can
lay claim to beauty.
Unless hair is clean, it loses it's
b%rilliancy. Consequently cleanliness
is the first essential. This doesn't
mean, however that hair must be
washed more than once a non
unless some special occasion de-
mands it, but it should be brushed
slowly and well every night with a
brush that is absolutely clean. Re
move the pins and let it hang loose
for awhile in the evening for the
beneficial result of the air reaching
the scalp.
Egg shampoos are especially rec
commended for dark hair. A little
borax added to the hot water in
which the yolk of the egg has been
beaten is advisable. Following a
shampoo Of this kind hair which
is naturally dpy is apt to be too dry.
In that case rNA the scalp well with
olive oil, and then brush the hair,
using long, gentle strokes. This has
a tendency to spread the oil ond give
the hair gloss. Be sure that your
brush is clean.
A LIQUID shampoo is excellent for
hair which is not quite in condition.
This can be made of one cup OF
soap bark extract, one-half cup of
glycerine, one cup of cologne, n
and one-half cups of alcohol, and
two cups of rosewater.
The glycerine and alcohol have a
tonic effect which is very beneficial.
y1o1J1,.r thu Iotharinp and ppnt1a
rubbing of the scalp the hair should
be thoroughly rinsed. Use three or
four rinsing waters if necessary,
never less than two.
Vinegar rinse is something new
and is being used extensively now
by ome who desire soft, glossy
hair. The last rinsing fluid is a mix
ture of half water and half vinegar.
This should be used only when the
shampoo has been given with soap,
not a shampoo mixture.

WHEN A WOMAN TELL
BY RUTH AGNES ABELING

you know, when you're in the mood
I was in-you grasp at straws.
Grace seemed to be finding it diff
cult to go on. 1 waited in silence.
I'VE started to talk and found
that we were each in the same
mood. He had been married only
a month previously and his wife had
been killed the week before while
out driving one night with a man
friend when she was supposed to
have been visiting her parents.
I'VE seemed to have something

life.
Drifting around, after that,
every now and then 1 saw that man
across the theatre. or at another

how far a woman may stray. no

Editorials For
Women Folks
She was a business woman.

She was a business woman.
The office and it's routine were the
sum of her life and she was rather
proud of the fact, used to love to
tell about how independent of the
average woman's interests she was.
She didn't particularly need
women friends. Indeed h seldom
had time for them. The fads and
fancies of the average feminine per-
son she regarded as weaknesses.
She never talked clothes. 1t was
such a frivolous subject, she said,
and nothing at all for a woman with
mentality to concern herself with.
She was efficiency to the last de-
gree. So trained to the thing was
her brain that she carried in her
mental vista every detail of the days
transactions. She never forgot. She
never mislaid things. She was
late. And she objected wher
the work dragged out long pas
r quitting time.
Why should she? Her whole life
apparently, was in her work.
And then, n day she appeared
at the Office in a new suit. a smari
thing, well-tailored and wonderful,
fitted. No n dared say a wore
about it. They liked it, of curse
the rest Of the folk in the office, and
wanted to tell the business woman
how really well she looked in it,
But no one was courageous enough
because she was such a different
woman.
But the business woman kept on
the Jacket of the suit and strolled
around the office. She seemed to
find innumerable errands that morn
ing that took her all over.
Finally one of the little girls bend
ing over the files ventured to COM
pliment her and the business woman
smiled, blushed a little, and went
away humming.
Not ever business can really
change a woman's heart.

Newark With County Officials Over
Lincoln Road


Advocates of the Lincoln Highway
route near Newark, as specified in
bill passed by the Legislature last
winter, got little encouragement at a
conference held in Newark Friday af-
ternoon with Governor Denney. The
original route was fixed by commits
sion appointed by the Superior Court.
Governor Denney has not signed the
bill changing the route and desired to
get first-hand information on the pro-
posed two routes, and the opinion of
county officials interested before tax
ing any action. Senator John F.
Richards, of Newark, who sponsored
the bill changing the route, ]. P. Will
son and Senator James w. Robertson,
of Wilmington, advocated the new
route proposed in the Richards bill at
a hearing over which Governor Den
ney presided in Purnell Hall.
-Four members of the commission
that fixed the original route and as
sessed damages to property owners
were present, Representative AleXan-

Alfred A Curtis and Wilbur T. Will
son, of Newark, were among those
who advocated the original route.
Charles B. Evans and William 7. Lyn-
am were also present as counsel for
certain property owners. The concen-
sus of opinion seemed to favor the
original route. The visitors had din

ARCHER TELLS ABOUT TRIP

Or. E. A. Archer gave an interest
ing talk before the chamber of COM
merce Tuesday in which he gave side
lights on his recent automobile trip
to California. Some tourists parks
along the way, he said, have adopted
a policy of charging for the use of
the park conveniences, while some
charge only for the wood used. The
charges vary, some being 20 cents
per night, some so cents and some
% cents. Most OF the parks, how
ever continue to operate without
charge to tourists, Or. Archer re-
ported that he found much better
road maintenance i'm California than
IN Washington and Oregon, and urg-
ed the point that fewer miles of road
construction and more attention to
the maintenance of those already
built would prove the best policy in
this state. The orange, lemon. rice
and bean Industries in California
are demoralized, he stated, but the
, walnut growers are still realizing a
profit. Many carloads of oranges
and lemons went to waste last year,
he said, due to lack of market. The
bean growers held their crops when
offered l ) and 16 cents and now are
unable to sell with the market at
four and five cents
