The young man smilingly agreed that
that would suit him, inaSmuch as his
own watch and four clocks pointed To
the same hour.
Il don't care what the other clocks
or your watch say. I'm going by mine,
said the man in blue. However. by the
time the argument had concluded. even
the officers watch said 9:l5, SO he dis
missed the affair.
A few days later. the incident was
published III one Of the evening papers.
The motoriSt. possessing sense OF hui
NOR, sent a clipping OF the story to the
officer. whom he identified by the num-
Der on bis shield. This seemed like
adding insult to injury. but the police
man accepted the "raz2berry,lg" good
naturally He never forgot it. though.
The months passed and the officer
WAS transferred to another precinct.
One bitterly cold night. about a week
ago. when less sturdy stock was indoors
by the tireside, the officer was pacing
his beat in the suburban district. One
Of the residents saw him and invited
him into have some hot coffee. Dur
ing the few moments OF conversation,
the officer mentioned the experience he
had once with young chap who in
sisted upon parking his car at 9:l5 and
recitcd the ensuing argument. I'D like
to set my hands on that rascal ha said
laughingly. He not only got away with
il. but he sent me clipping about the
thing. sure would like to sec him
again"
His host Of the moment was the same
man. but he suppressed the impulse to
tell him so. and unless the officer sees
this story he will not know how close
he was TO the man lie was looking for.

that is dry scanty and faded will be-
come worse after it Is permanently
waved. 1t will fail out freely and split
at the ends DO not blame the method
of waving when this occurs. however,
Another point to remember Is that
even If you have already had three or
four successful permanent waves. it
docs not follow that the next one will
be equally satisfactory. Theoretically
hair that takes good wave the first
time should do the same on successive
occasions, but this docs not always
happen Usually the woman who has
had n successful permanent wave IS so
pleased with 1t that she neglects to give
her hair the daily treatments and oily
applications it needs. She finds that
her couture may be dressed in very
short time. and so she docs not bother
to brush or massage her scalp. AS a
result. when II comes time for the r9t
permanent wave her hair is In poor
condition and does not take the wave
well. 1t looks dry and fri2zled and is
hard to manage. The fault is not that
of the method Of waving employed.
Daily brushing Of the hair will not
harm a permanent wave as 1t docs a
marcel. On the contrary it Is neces-
sary 10 brush the hair regularly to
make 1t glossy and easy to dress When
there Is not much natural oil in the
scalp one should spray brillantine or a
special hair oil on the hair to keep 1t
from becoming dry and brittle. A very
good pomadc to use for the purpose is
made Of six tablespoonfuls OF distilled
water. few drops Of perfume and two
tab!espoonfuls each Of olive oil. gly-
ccrin and rose water Mix thoroughly
