WHEN WE co SHOPPING

their hair. Bay rum is an excellent
thlnS FOR the scalp, but il contains Il
very high percentage of alcohol, and
when used alone it is not the best hair
tonic.
IL you can't lind the tonic you are
looking for you may care to follow the
advice OF barber He suggests that
after brisk shampoo you use a good
brand of slightly diluted bay rum.
After that pure olive oil or castor oil
is fine for the scalp. 1t will prevent
the scalp from getting dry, and will
give life and luster to any kind OF
hair. Don't use too much oil, though,
because you know how easily an oiled
surface will catch dust and dirt.
This must suggest that we should
avoid tonics which contain any sort
or glucose, paste. or similar substance
A tonic should depend upon other in
gradients to keep the hair in shape,
because hair that is treated regularly
with glue will grow stiff, crackle and
break on. At the best it will become
dry and unattractive.
Doctors deny, of course, that any
tonic will cause hair to grow where
the roots are dead. Still it is true that
hair can be revived by good treat
ment, and that hair which we have
can be made to grow more luxuriant!v.
The prime problem in choosing
hair tonic is to get something which
Will be good for the hair, and then.
incidentally, to be scented as YOU
like, and perhaps to have some in
gredlent that will help to keep the
hair in shape

Love Grows With Trust.

: Cor1nne, having always been popu
! lar, having had several proposals
| during the course of her life, felt that
she was rather comforting a favor on
| Jim when she singled him out as the
| man OF her desire. She didn't say
this In so many words, but her man
ner implied that he was a lucky boy.
| Jim agreed with her absolutely. He
| was in the seventh heaven
! But don't forget, Jimmy dear" she
| told him, half laughingly, half earnest,
| one evening. the minute get tired Of
you I'm going to let you know. Don't
| think I'm going to hang on and hope
| for the best, the way some girls do.
| No, sir. If you are mean to me I'll
leave you then and there"
OF course she added that this was
never going to happen, and of course
| he told her that there wasn't u chance
in the world of his ever being mean
! to her.
But as the days of their courtship
wore away, as they grew more used
/ TO each other. petty irritationS crept
| in, as they always do.
Jim wasn't always charming and
loving. Corinne wasn't always rea-
sonable. And after one of their
| trivial quarrels Jim would remem-
ber Corinne's speech with a little fear
Had she really meant what she
said? Would she leave him if he
| didn't watch his step?
Sometimes he thought she seemed
overinterested in other men. Could
1t be because he'd done anything or
| said anything to hurt her feelings?
Was she getting ready to throw him
over?
His fear and worry persisted even
after they were engaged. He felt the
sword of Damocles poised over his
head. For. sometimes when they
were arguing rather heatedly, she
would give him quick, warning
glance that said clearly: Look OUT
Consequently. he was never sure of
himself with her-never certain of
her love. Always he was in a state
| of anxiety lest she should tire of him.
Now, some people assert that keep
ing IA man on edge keeps him loving
you. 1t is wise to fool him just a
little bit-to keep him interested.
But to keep him constantly under
the cloud of doubt-to make him feel
that any minute YOU may weary of
him-iS to weaken his love for YOU.
A man may have a desperate in
fatuation or crush on girl who
keeps him on pins and needles. But
sooner or later he's bound to give up
the ghost.
And as for n mans real love--that
grows with his trust in his sweet
heart. Secure in the knowledge that
she cares, he is content No need
for her to snow how awfully. much
she cares.
Only let her give him the assurance
that she's not going to leave him
ever if she can help it.
The girl who reminds her fiance or
husband from time to time that she
may quit any day may put it into his
head to make the first move

CHAPTER l..
Recklessness.

That night Rosalind was reckless
enough to do almost anything. She
was beset with conflicting emotions.
Wounded pride. jealousy and anger all
fought for dominance in her thoughts.
and hatred toward the woman called
Isabel kept mounting in her.
A growing resentment toward Allen
began to smolder in her. She felt that
she despised herself for letting him
NEEDLE in her life. After all why had
he sought her out? She hadn't want
ed to know him. She must have been
mad to accept a position in his office.
Why had she done such a thing? Why
had she been so weak, so utterly spine
less? After all, she had brought the
whole thing on herself, had only her
self to blame for what had happened.
She looked around the living room.
the room she had made SO attra Ctive.
Tonight it's four walls seemed like a
prison shutting her in. She hated the
whole place. Since she had taken her
position in Aliens office she had spent
every night here at home. Was she to
be condemned forever to a life of lone
illness merely because Allen Norris
thought it respectable? Was this all
the fates had in store for her?
II won't stand it," she burst out
suddenly, springing to her feet. Il
won't stand it. Anything is better
than this, ng-even-Nicky!"
The minute she reached this point
in her thoughts, she was brought up
with a jerk. Did she mean that?
Did she?
Yes. I did" she said aloud as
though to convince herself of some
thing she was not quite sure of. II
did mean it. I'll call up Nicky, I'll let
him take me out somewhere. There
will be music and lights and gayety.
I'm young and pretty and if I can't
have what l want. III make the best
of what l can GET
In a fever of excitement Rosalind
began to slip out of her Office clothes.
Frantically, as though there was no
time to be lost, she ran hot water into
the tub and put out fresh lingerie.
When she was almost ready she went
to the telephone and gave Nicky's
number. The minute she had COM
mitted herself she gave 4 little gasp
of dismay. What was she doing?
Evening star., 1926-02-16

| This was madness, She did not really
want to see Nicky. In her heart of
hearts she despised him. But he was
way out. Through him she could
achieve at least material things
She could hear the little whirr of
the bell at the other end, and even
then, even after she had decided to do
this thing, little hope sprang up in
her heart that he would not be there.
/ Rosalind was not in a normal frame Of
mind, she was not thinking logically.
nor reasoning at all. Her one thought
was to do somethinC-anvthing that
was reckless. She was rebellinC for
the second time. 1t was the same
spirit that had prompted her to bang
down the lid Of her typewriter, on
that night long ago. with the words

The telephone clicked and a mans
voice spoke to her across the wire.
Nicky's voice.
Rosalind swallowed neryouslv. and
then plunged ahead
Nicky, this is Rosalind."
There was moments silence and
then a whistle of astonishment from
the other end of the wire
So you've come to your senses"
Rosalind forced a laugh
don't know what you mean by
that"
oh. yes you do. The little nun
has come out of her retirement. How
ever, the important thing is. when
am / going to see you?"
His way of accepting her capitula-
| ton grated on Rosalinds nerves, made
her hesitate even now.
Then she remembered Allen Norris
and Isabel, and pressed on desper-
ately.
I'm not doing anything tonight"
Fine. shall we take in a show

Buying Hair Tonic.

Almost every one uses some sort of
a tonic for the hair, and bobbed hair
has merely added new difficulty to
the problem. Before the locks were
sheared we could use any tonic that
would give luster and life to our hair,
but now the hair must be kept neatly
In place. Hair tonic must do the work
of hairpins and hairnets in great
many cases.
In buying any tonic there's one
thing we should look for, and that's a
good quality Of oil. Men and women
working in petroleum fields have
abundant growths of hair because of
can't all afford oil showers or walking
in oilladen air, but we can buy our
oil in hair tonics.
Another thing we all want in our
hair tonic is alcohol. Alcohol is the
only thing that will remove the tiny
scales of dead skin that form around
the roots of the hair which we call
dandruff. On the otrer hand, too much
alcohol will dry up the scalp, kill the
roots. and cause your hair to fall out
in generous quantities. Manufacturers

Killed by Suggestion.

A good many troubles you fear
never really happen. Two of your
fellow workers, or your neighbors. or
YOUR guests are speaking in a rather
low voice They seem to be turning
in your direction. You step up to
them and they stop conversing. You
are positive of what has happened.
You become flushed. You are angry.
Your blood fairly boils.
The truth of it all is that they
might have been talking about any
thing else in the world but you, and
had completed their conversation
when you approached them. But
YOU don't know this and wouldn't
believe them if they told you so.
You are victimized by an over
functinoing and suspicious imagina-
ton, which feeds on your great sus-
ceptibility to suggestion.
Susceptibility to suggestion is a
splendid quality. but one which can
react dangerously if not properly
checked.

HOW 1T STARTED

Every school child Familiarity uses the
term the globe" as synonymous with
the earth When using the term.
one is conscious of the earth. particu-
larly in its physical aspect, as round
body. sphere. as when one refers to
sailing around the globe" And so
the word used for any ball-like or
spherical object, which, 1t develops, is
how it started.
The word ''glohe" is derived from the
Latin "globus," which in the oldest
Latin was spelled ''clo-bus," which
meant spinning round" before 1t sig
nifled the terrestrial sphere, the ro-
tating earth,
Going back still further. we learn
that one Of the three sisters of destiny
who were believed by the ancients to
spin the fate of men, even before they
were born, was named in ancient
Greek "Clo-tho" or spinning" maid.
Accordingly we have "clo-bus" for
spinning round" and then "globus"
and our globe" for this old sphere Of
ours.

Margot Asquith Quotes Lincoln

The Countess of Oxford and
Asquith, more familiar to Americans
as Margot Asquith of photographed
fame. has set out to bring British
capital and labor into friendly, peace
full and cordial relations
She has written an open letter about
it. For her text she dug back into
one of Abraha Lincoln'S messages to
Congress. She quotes the martyr
president:
Labor is prior to and independent
of capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor, and could never have exist
ed If labor had not existed first. Cap
ital has rights which are as worthy
of protection as any other rights. But
labor is the superior of capital, and
deserves much the higher considera-
ton"
Abraham Lincoln rightly diagnosed
the situation" says Lady Oxford.
