That may be q rather crude way to
put it, but there Is more than a littl"

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully. If you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much aIkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use
is Mulslfied cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseIessl.
and is better than anything else
you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls OF
Mulsified in a cup or glass with
little warm water is sufficient TO
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance Of rich creamy lath-
er. which rinses out easily. remov-
ing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft and the hair
fine and silky. bright lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy. it's
very cheap, and a few ounces
Will supply every member of the
family for months. Be sure your
druggist gives you Mulsified.

eAMRLERs, onp RELIEEs

Unusually rich in superstitions are
the gambling resorts Of Deauville and
Monte Carlo.
Not the least inexplicable of these
strange faiths is the belief voiced by
Russian at Deauville that eating
almonds for dinner is the secret OF
good luck at the tables.
At Monte Carlo this season a man
and woman appeared at the tables
every night, and while the man played
the woman remained seated nursing
a black cat. The mIl at first won
considerably, but later his luck
changed.
Amethyst tiepins are popular at
Deauville because of their alleged
luck bringing virtues.
To play with the third and fourth
fingers of the left hand crossed is
another device practiced by one wo-
man. She could give no reason for
her faith, except that such nranipu-
lation OF the fingers brought luck.

Try using cabbage leaves. The
tender white inside leaves are de-
licious with any vegetable salad and
any tart fruit salad with a plain
French dressing. And the cabbage
itself makes more than one delicious
salad.
Shredded Cabbage
Two cups shredded cabbage, tea
spoon sugar, II teaspoon salt. M tea
spoon pepper, tablespoons olive oil,
2 tablespoons vinegar, paprika.
Put shredded cabbage in large
sugar and bruise slightly. Pour over
vinegar and oil and lift with silver

One-half medium sized head of
cabbage, teaspoon salt, teaspoons

Remove coarse outside leaves Of
cabbage and cut in half. Cut very
fine. Let stand in cold water for an

Of a big machine.
Robert Browning's ego had not
been inherited by his daughter In
her own person, as detached from
business, she was modest and retir-
ing to an extreme. Then, although
she would not have acknowledged it,
perhaps scarcely realized it, she had
been bruised because OF the ready
detection of Hunter Worden.
At times passionate curiosity
blazed UP in Ruth'S consciousness to
understand just why Hunter, a quiet
business like fellow, had so quickly
succumbed to Betty. 1t did not seem
possible that man who had virtual-
ly told her he cared for her, had
said he had vital question he want
ed to ask her when they were, alone,
could suddenly, all because of beau
tiful face, have lost all feeling for her.
THE fault is in me-" she told her.
self. Il am not the sort OF woman
men love-"
One day she overheard a conversa-
ton between two of her girls, young
stenographers. 1t was during the
noon hour. A terrifis rain storm had
come up Just before the girls were
to go out for their luncheon, and the
office boy had braved the rain to
bring sandwiches to Ruth and the
other women in the office.
Il tell you, men don't like a busi-
ness girl--not IL she is real business"
one 19-year- girl declared, with all
the wisdom of grandmother.
you're right, Jennie!" the other
said. ITS the silly. fluffy ruffles
sort of girls men like. not girls who
are serious. / guess it's because
when they leave their offices they
want to be amused. And brains
amt very amusing. I guess. 1t makes
me tired to see how the men pass up
a nice girl for some silly, giggling
flapper who hasn't an idea in her
head only how much paint her face
will carry. And the men marry lots
of such girls, while we poor slaves
have to write Miss on our calling
cards. And Miss win be engraved
on our tombstones."
Perhaps" returned the little wise
acre, that is the reason there are
so many divorces. One would think
to read the papers that getting mar
ried and divorced was a game at
which each one tried to outdo the
other. o, well. have patience, Nell.
Perhaps some day man will make a
and ask you or some other
girl with brains to marry him. Grab
him quick if he does, for II he sees
one Of the other sort before you've
hitched him to your star he's lost to
you forever"
It was all nonsense, girls nonsense.
Yet Ruth felt that there was a sort
of truth in it. Betty was what one
would call q, fluffy ruffles sort OF
girl, while she, Ruth, was serious. A
business girl.

she finds her comfort and JOY in love.
The girls frank confession may be
paralleled In the experiences of many
charming ana capable business girls.
For example. this:
my father was divorced by my
mother. l was brought up to hate
men. But l fell in love at 90 and

l hate compliments and flattery and
insincerety. l have a smile for them
and a smart answer, but a heavy
heart. l feel shut out from what
makes life worth while.
Il don't know whether I'm to
blame, or my mother"
Wouldn't il seem logical to blame
the father and brother who sowed
the seeds OF misery for both your
mother and yourself?
But why conclude that all men
conform to fathers pattern?
Why not adopt ideallsm as an Off
set to cynicism? Thus you might ar
rive at the average fact about love:
The love OF men and women is made
up of equal quantities OF wretched-
ness and happiness: IL the latter is
worth anything at all, Why shrink
