The fine looking man who asked
for Ruth was a far different propo-

Don't Spoil Your Child's
Hair By Washing 1t

When you wash your child's hair
be careful what you use. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is Mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil shampoo. for this
is pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything
else all to pieces.
Two or three teaspoonfuls or
Mulsified in a cup or glass with a
little warm water is all that is re-
quired. Simply moisten the hair
with water. and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich. creamy lath-
err, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft, fresh look
ing, bright, fluffy. wavy and easy
to handle. Besides. it loosens and
takes out every particle OF dust,
dirt and dandruff. You can get
Mulsified at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last everyone in
the family for months. Be sure
your druggist gives you Mulsified.

interrupted each other so often that
all that those who were listening
could make out was that there was
great big stranger in the Green
Forest, a stranger who wore black
fur and was as big as Farmer
Browns boy. Now, none OF the little
people knew OF any one as big as
Farmer Browns boy unless it was
another boy or a man. But Sammy
and Blacky said that the stranger
was not man. So all their neigh

SAMMY AND BLAcKY BOTH
TALK AT ONCE

Two tongues at once are one too
many,
And better 'twere there were not
any.
Which means that when two
people try to talk at the same time
it is very unpleasant for themselves
and even more unpleasant for others
who may have to listen to them.
When Blacky the Grow came flying
out from deep in the Green Forest
so excited that he was cawing at the
top of his voice, Sammy Jay had at
once flown to meet him. Now, Sam
my was just as excited, and he was
screaming at the top of his lungs.
You see, he knew that BlaclSy had
found the stranger who had so ex-
cited him. Now perhaps the little
people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows would believe him
and no longer think him crazy.
But they didn't! No, sir they
didn't! Instead they thought that
BIacky the Grow had gone crazy. too.
Never was there heard a worse rack
set than Sammy and Blacky made as
each tried to talk louder and faster
than the other. Neither was listen
ing to what the other was saying,
Which in itself was very impoHte
even if they were cousins. Worse
still, each kept interrupting the other
and, you know, there is nothing more
impolite than to interrupt when an
other is speaking But neither
seemed to mind in the least. Each
kept right ON talking and growing
more and more excited.
or course, all the. little people
within hearing hurried over TO find
out what it all meant. But they
couldn't understand at all what
Sammy and Blacky were talking
about. You see. sammy and Blacky

and would have announced that she
likes pretty clothes as well as any
girl. and since she can't wear them
in society, she has a perfect right
to wear them where and when she
cant
Perhaps she deceives herself Ac-
cording to psychologists, that is the
commonest occupation Of the human
mind. Perhaps she really wears
freaky frocks to attract the attention
of the men.
And perhaps the girl who envies
her popularity, wouldn't really care
much about her admirers. How for
tunate it is that there are enough
of all kinds, of both sexes, to go
aroundl
Dress never can be negligible in
terest to any girl
Those who scorn II, or think they
do probably pride themselves on be-
ing "hors concours," or not compet-
ing for mates. That is not a normal
frame of mind for a girl. Even the
p1umage Of birds and the fur of ami
mails may have a significance in
love.

In the spring a young mans fancy

INFLUENCE OF DRESS
Winona Wilcox Says Fashions Ar

oct py EeautieS
The next question put by FLOSSY
ID. is this:
Does a man prefer the girl who is
artistically dressed?
Il have seen girls who We're not
neat, never well groomed according
to some standards, who were ex-
ceedingly popular with the boys,
while the refined and carefully
dressed girls did not get much at
tention. How can you explain this?'
FLOSSY d. is not yet old enough
to have discovered that certain rich
women dress conspicuously, and
their husbands wish them to do so,
as an advertisement of the mans
financial success.
On this theory, one accounts for
many a young mans preference for
the girl who dresses to attract at
tention even If grooming and gen.
erai daintiness have been omitted
In the older oriental nations. dress
is a mark of caste: ii indicates an
individual social status; and Eng
speaking nations say that a
woman dresses like a LADY," but Of
course tastes differ as to how lady
dresses.
To some it means wearing the
right thing in the right place. a
sleeveless dress in the ballroom
and not in an office. Lately most
astonishingly brief sleeve was seen
in the business world. 1t was merely
a cap or fIfll. If the weArer had

such conspicuous frock. doubtless

than either OF these Ia the fact that
