Easy to Darker
Your Gray Hair
You Can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can

other ingredients, called "Wyeth's S
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning all gray hair dis
appears, and, after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
darkened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace.

desire youthful and attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger.

A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY
ory Of q Woman's Transform
BY MARION RuBINcAM

erous, he seemed really fond of Bud,
and he had gone out of his way to be
nice to him many times. Pete's type
was always like that-a mixture of
extremes.
"Well. Bud said that Pete played
one of his tips-he had to tell me in
roundabout fashion, he said, so if
anyone were listening in, nothing
could be found out from what he said.
Pete played tip, some stock should
have gone down, he sold short. /
don't exacly understand, except that
he was betting it would go down and
it went up.
Bud says he had to cover then,
which is something else / don't quite
know, except that it meant he had to
put up more money to hold what
money he already had on it. Well, he
didn't have it. So he thought he could
get some as he got it before-you re-
member"
"No, l forget"
"Yes, you do. He was sent to de-
posit money and he took a thousand,
fixed up the bank book, and then
when he played and won, he put the
thousand back, and changed around
the book again. Well, he went to the
cashier at his place. as he always
does, to carry the bank deposits, and
the man looked at him rather queerly
and said they were sending another
man today.
THAT alarmed Pete, but he thought
he had fixed up the book 50 no one
would know he took the money. And
even if they did know it, he had put
it back, it was only that he would
lose his job. He hadn't really stolen,
you see," she explained, "since he
had paid back what he took
l nodded and she went on.
However, he had to have some
money because he had risked every
thing he had on the stock he was
playing with"
"He might sell his car" l suggested.
Violet smiled a little, though the
tears were still on her face.
Il imagine he thought the stock
would do what he wanted pretty soon,
and that selling his car was not nee
essary. He only wanted money for
a few hours, just long enough for the
stock to turn around and go down
again."
What did he do them"
"He went to Simons to borrow
ons gave it or loaned it to him on
a certain condition. But Bud would
not tell me-he simply said that was
all he could say over the phone, and
that he would come around tomorrow
morning. He said he was afraid the
police were after him"
after Bud"
Il think as witness against Pete"
vi explained. And he wasn't going
home tonight. | asked him what he
was going to do and he said. stay in
hotel. And that we were not to
worry"
At the word her voice broke, and
she turned again to the pillows, to sob
a little more. l got up quietly and
went out into the kitchen to fix our
breakfast cereal. l was sorrier for
vi than for Bud.

Mccormick was born in England, but
was brought to Chicago at an early
age and reared by an aunt, Mrs. Ed
ward Stickney, wife of one of the

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am mar

best men that ever lived. We have
a nice home and are as happy as can
be. We have been married II years
and have had two children, but both
died at birth. We will never have
any more of our own, and so we want
to adopt one. Every one that I men

some one else's child but l am sure
we could love it as our own.
/ have a lovely wardrobe for a
baby. everything you could think Of
I had them for my babies. With my
dear husband and my nice home I
would be the happiest woman in the
world if we had a baby.
Can you tell us how to get in touch
with some one who wants to give a
baby a home? We don't know just
what to do to find one Would you
advertise in the paper? We want it
to be private affair so that the little
one will never know. We want 0

life will be far richer than to go
through it childless.
To advertise for a baby would not
be wise. because you would attract a
heartless class of people, willing to
give up the little one for a price.
The best thing for you to do is to
put in your application at various hos
pitals anG orphan asylums, prefer
ably hospitals, since you want a very
young infant. You might mention
your desire 10 your family physician
so that if he hears of baby needing
home he can place the child in
your hands.

BUD Is IN TROUBLE.

Synopsis Of Preceding Chapters.
When Enid is 35, she wakes to the
fact that she is a homely old maid,
considered hopeless by her family.
She lives with her brother Jim. his
wife Esther, the grown children.
Laura, James and Violet Only Violet
believes in her.
Wis desire to go to the city to col
lege starts the reformation. Enid
draws all her money and they go to
New York. Here both are awakened
to the possibilities of living-Enid
begins to grow young and pretty; vi,
though unhapplly in love with Bud
Pearsoll, develops into a charming
young girl Ends one sweetheart,
who had Tilted her in her youth, sud-
denly wants to marry her, but she
refuses, partly because she has met
and fallen in love with Francis Meade,
Buds employer. Under the stimulus
of this, she grows younger in looks
and more charming in manner. Meade
has some suspicious about Buds hon.
esty, for the boy has been going
around with a wild crowd of men,
spending lots of money. Enid comes
home after dinner with Meade, to
find vi in tears.
Chapter 70.
Violet was crying! Violet was in
trouble-or was worried over some
thing! Instantly l forgot Francis
Meade, and that strange, sweet good
bye in the hall-though my hand al
most tingled because he had held it
so. I went over to the girl.
What is it, dear? Tell me all
about it." l began coaxingly.
For answer she cried still harder,
burying her face down in the pillows.
l patted her shoulder. l felt that
was all l could do for the moment.
For though vi and l were fond of each
other, though the love and sympathy
between us was much greater than
what usually exists between an aunt
and a niece, yet we were never de-
monstrative. And when she cried.

cushions, rather than to sob on any

at 8. But before that he said he
couldn't come, and l thought either
of going to Helen's, or out with Toby.
After you left l decided to stay in
and wait and study until he let me
know definitely. But he did not even
phone, and I gave him up at half
past nine Then at 10 he called up.
He said he was in a lot of trouble,
and had had a hard time phoning me,
but that I was not to worry, because
he would be all right. Well, I was
all upset over that, and wanted to

portable water heater is a boon.
If you want pint Of boiling water
quickly you can get it in nine min
utes after inserting the plug in the
neat little nickel-plated boiler illus
trated. This weighs % pounds,
stands 5&4 inches high, has black
ebony handle, lid knob and feet and
can be tucked into the travelling bag
or make itself at home in the tiniest
bathroom closet or bedside table.
The heating element is raised slight
y IN the bottom Of the heater so as
to get the most effective contact with
the water. Often one does not want
water actually at boiling tempera-
ture, and in five minutes the water
reached 1872 degrees Fahrenheit,
which is hotter than the hand can
stand or than one could drink it,
and so is suitable for small hot
water bag, a cup of bouillon or for
aringing out a hot cloth.
With very small amount Of water
the heater might boil dry if one
we're busy about other things, or a
child or inquisitive elder might in
scrt the plug when the vessel was
empty and ruin the apparatus. To
prevent this there is safety fuse
plug which melts and turns off the
current before the device is rendered
imperative. Bu, the nickel plating
inside may burn off and the solder
melt, so care should be taken never
- make the connection until the
water is put in and never to empty
the vessel until after the plug is
taken out. A new safety plug is
easily inserted, however, and dam
age reduced TO a minimum.
It costs 3.5 cents an hour TO oper-
ate the heater at a 10-cent rate for
and 2.5 cents at our local
7 cent rate. In other words, it costs
you half a cent TO boil a pint Of

The cost Of electricity an hour on

a metal loop handle rising above the
