 They expect to return to France on the first northbound train.

AN OLD RECIPE R
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray,
 Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com- pounded, brings back the natural col or and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any crug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other in- gredients. at very little cost. Every body uses this preparation now, be- cause no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair as it does so naturally and evenly. You damp en sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy and you look years young
