MRS. TUCKER PLANS.
SUIT TO regain BOY
Young Heir to 81 900, 900 Will
Be Center Of Legal Fight
in New York
WHEREABOUTS IN DOUBT

The legal battle for possession OF
nine year old Kemble Tucker, heir to
81 600, 200. which was fought to draw
here by the child's divorced parents,
will be resumed in New York.
Mrs. Isaac w. Kemble, of the Ritz
Carlton. the boys maternal grand
mother. said her daughter, Mrs. Nir-
ginia Kemble Tucker, intends to bring
srit in New York against Richard
Tucker. the boys father.
The child was pupil at the Episco-
pal Academy, Overlook. and was taken
away. presumably by his father. shortly
before Christmas. The boy is believed
to be with his father, who has mar
ricd again.
Mrs. Kebmlc said that taking the
boy to New York was a violation OF
the orders Of the Pennsylvania court.
She added that just before Christmas,
viii le the child was in the mothers pos :
session, Mr.. Tucker visited the school
and by n ruse got the boy into a motor
car, which was driven away at high
speed.
Court records here show that the par
ents were divorced in 1919 and that
they agreed the father was to have GUS
tOdy of Kemblc during the winter
months and that hc was to visit his
mother every two weeks. He also was
to remain with her during the summer
vacation period.
In February, 1921, Mr.. Tucker
brought habeas corpus proceedings in
the Municipal Court alleging Mrs.
Tucker had failed TO return the boy
after one of the visits arranged by the
agreement. The case dragged on until
July I. when President Judge Brown
dismissed the writ of habeas corpus.
Three weeks later Judge Brown en-
tered decree awarding the child to his
mother for ten and half months each
year and to the father for six week
each year. Mr.. Tucker appealed to the
Superior Court. On December II the
Superior Court reversed Judge Brown 5
order and the case returned to it's orig
inal status before the habeas corpus
writ was obtained.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application or
two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its
appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture !;
you can get this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients at small cost, all ready for
use 1t is called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound. This can always be
depended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica--
ton it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.
