 Suddenly she rem embered Richard Rankin's interest in unfortunate peo- pie. Would there, by any chance, be work for her among these he was trying to help? He said that money was needed. Perhaps her father would let her spend part of her allowance in financing Rankin's en- terprise.
 The idea made her heart beat high { Here would be something for her to : do! And she could do it under Rankin's direction. She fancied his look of gratitude and happiness when she suggested this to him. She could almost hear his rich southern voice thanking her.. She would see him frequently-several times a week perhaps. If so. she would not be bored and lonely.
 She frowned as her common sense asserted itself. She had met this man today for the first time, yet al- ba vo1apninf tns him often. What would Donald Muir think of that idea?
 But Donald Muir had no right to think anything about it one way or the other. Her father was the only one who had any authority over her.
 Yet Donald was always good and kind As she looked back she ap- preciated how much his friendship ~ had meant since her mothers death four years ago. It was he who had taken her to the theatre when she had been at home at Christmas and i. Easter. It was he who had re- t. minded her father that certain < summer camp to which she had { longed to go was really more de- X sirable location than the one to which f Harrison Scott had proposed sending [ her Yes, Muir might be much older f than she and very very grave and E serlous at times, yet he certainly a was a true friend on whom she could depend. sas @ss

DREAMS OF DECAY

Today l will tell you of dreams which do not forecast the future but which hold the mirror up to your secret past. Their only purpose is a warning not to repeat the wrong or the error. You may ask why dream should remind YOU of what you have done-whcrein lies the prophecy? But bear in mind that all of us do many wrong and erroneous things at times without being fully aware of the fact that we did not act right and proper. and only q forceful reminder can bring US to the realization of our mistakes.
 Such dreams are called dreams of decay. Every time you have a vision of seeing something moidering. disin- tesratins You may know that you have done a Wrong
 If you dream that you see decay ing meat. you have done q moral wrong to yourself. Unless you mend your ways you wilt be very unhappy and all the things VOL love now will be lost to you in the whirl of false, treacherous excitement.
 The sight of disintegrating vegeta- bies proves that you have wronged some one with your tongue and that you do not seem able to realize the enormous damage you are doing to an innocent well-meaning persons reputation.
 uecayln2 house IS proof that your way of living will lead you into care and poverty and dependency. Even though you may not be clearly aware of the fact that you are ex- trava gant. nevertheless such is the case. If you are living at home and your expenses are paid by your fam fly, curb your demands; their means are not sufficient to gratify the many wishes you express.
 decaying tree is a sign that your work. be it at home. in office or in factory, is being neglected. that you are merely going through the mot ions Of doing your duty and that you are not giving satisfaction.
 If single girls see decaying corpse. they need pay no attention to the omen. But it means much to married women. It is a sign of home wrecking, brought about by lack of understanding of the art of spread ing happness and contentment A married woman who has such a dream and does not change her ways in many things, will have no one but herself to blame if her husband turns his eyes towards other women or finds thesolace she does not give him. in the company of his male friends. staying away from home and making the hearth desolate.

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell

The old.time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth- CTS recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are liv- ing in an age when youthful appear ance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popu- lar because nobody can discover 1t has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with t and draw this through your hair. taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. is that. besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applica- tions. it also produces that soft lustre and appearanee of abundance which q @ attractive.
