Acid Scalp

How many carefully coiffured
heads can stand the test of eyes
only inches away, and reveal
not a speck of dandruff? How
many women can warm to the
dance, and know their hair will
have no taint for the partner
who holds them close?
No one can be sure who has
acid scalp.
If you even suspect this acid
condition of the scalp, it is time
for Danderine. This scientific
preparation will neutralize any
acidity; and dissolve all dam
druff if there is any. And it
always gives the hair itself a
lovely softness and sheen. 1t
will wave better, hold a wave
longer, and behave better all the
time if you just occasionally ap-
ply a few drops of Danderine.
Try it! Every drugstore has
this perfect conditioner of the
scalp and hair, and a thirty-hve
cent bottle lists for weeks.

ish towel and proceeded to rub
down briskly.
He gazed through the window of
his room into a perfect morning.
The residential district hummed
with the soft sounds of the day:
street hawkers crying their wares,
housewives and housemaids calling
to one another and to the huck-
sters, tiny children yet below
school age-playing about, and
neighborhood chauffeurs washing
the family cars or moving the slop-
ing, emerald lawns.
There was a light tap on Bob's
door as he stepped into his dressing
gown, and almost instantly Croesus
entered bearing aloft tray on
which toothsome breakfast steam
ed: savory coffee, fresh cream,
strawberries, crumbly toast and be-
con which was wafer thin.

Thank YOU
The black head bobbed, split into
golden grin, and withdrew. Bob
drew up a chair and seated himself
at the table. 1t was far cry to
the prison cell: the waking in a
chill dawn to the plangent alarm of
the corridor gong, the muttered
cursings, the scraping of iron cots
ON concrete floors, the banging of
huge steel doors and then the sui
len shuttle into the CHASTITY mess
hall, where prisoners were forbid
den TO speak. He sat in his chair
and sugared his berries, then pour
ed the rich, fresh cream over them,
but his face reflected no happiness.
The luxury of the past three days
had been like gall and wormwood.
This was no more his sphere than
prison had been. The nadir had
been undeserved, and he did not be
long in the zenith.
He understood that this was Pc
ter Borden's gesture of amends.
But it was not in Bob Terry's pow
er to forgive or forget. For three
torturing never-ending years he had
nurtured hatred of this man, had
developed a single consuming pas
sion that Borden must suffer as he
had suffered, and Borden's kindness
had accentuated that desire. 1t
seemed to bring home to the boy
that all during this three years the
man who had sent him to prison
had been luxuriating in silk and
velvet. The habits of three years
are not discarded as readily as pri-
son garments. And both Peter Bor-
den and Lois had respected the tao
lturnity which they interpreted as
embarrassment and left him free to
go his way.
Halfway through his breakfast,
Boo espied an envelope on his tray.
1t was addressed in the fine, small
handwriting of Peter Borden. His
lips twisted into sneer as he han
died it. 1t was a large envelope.

ture of disgust, the young man rip
