Various Tonnes.

we all know that one good tonic
universally good, Is brushing the hair
But It is necessary that brushes and
combs should be absolutely clean. Dan
druf is a germ, it can be caught, 1t can
be transferred. If you have it never
let any one use your brush or comb,
and never use them more than q day
without washing them in hot water and
soap, rinsing in water and drying thor
oughly. Why brush germs back into
your hair? OF course, never use comb
or brush belonging to any one else. :.
For blondes, this tonic is goodl
Twenty grains of resorcin, two grains
of bichloride of mercury, with enough
so per cent alcohol added to make four
ounces. I say for blondes, because re-
sorcin has q tendency to make the hair
reddish gold. Later I'll give my gen.
eral tonic. Have your druggist make
up this tonic, you can't very well get
the things and make 1t yourself.
Oil, which is a marvellous tonic, has
a tendency to darken blonde hair. Bu'
olive oil darkens it least, and If there
is dandruff, I'd advise olive oil. Rub
it well into the scalp, and shampoo by
coating the scalp with an egg, yolk and
white, letting this dry, then rinsing on
and finally shampooing with lemon
rinse at the end. This makes the hair
blonde again, perhaps even lighter thar
before. The egg itself Is tonic, the
sulphur in the yolk is good for the scalp
THE EIGHTEEN DAY DIET.
Breakfast: AS usual.
Lunch: An egg, a tomato, slice OF
toast and half grapefruit.
Dinner: Two chops, half a spoonful
of tomato catsup, slice of toast, grape
fruit.
I'd cook that luncheon tomato. with
the egg in it--a nice dish it makes
too. Instead of the catsup for dinner,
have half q boiled potato, and salad

fruit You get less acid this way And

It is a pleasant coincidence that green
is the color associated with St. Patrick's
day and also with Spring. The first fes-
tive day in Spring commentaries this
saint of the Emerald Isle Green should
be the predominating color. There
should be no question, therefore, about
what color to use for decorations for a
st. Patrick's day party. Moreover, a

Amateur Surgeons


 A common and well known anna teur surgeon IS the man who wields q razor to pare his corns.. Of course. this exercise is the guaranteed privilege of every man. But the wise man will exercise it with cau- ton.
 To begin with, cutting a corn :s no true remedy for it's growth
 A corn is the body's response (ex- , irritant, which, in the case of the foot, is usually a tight or wrongly shaped shoe.
 The remedy for the condition is not in the cutting of the cora though this no doubt offers tempo rary relief, but rather in adopting amore roomy or better fitting shoe
 Then there is the ever-present danger of cutting onself. A cut OH the foot, no matter how small encased in a sock or stocking, ant surrounded with leather. All day | lcng it is subjected to rubbing an pressure. When there is a break in the skin, as in the case of cut not properly protected, some for. eign substance is certain to b: rubbed into the broken tissue. In. i lection may result.

Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

But why-why?" There was in- sistence in her voice now. But Lil- Han quieted 1t.
 That is something we must wait to find out" she said with quiet authority. Let us take one thing at a time as it comes. First, I think wed better disregard Harry's instructions to telephone when We reached Englewood. We know where the man is now, and we'll just get over the river as quickly as possible. We might miss a ferry by stopping to telephone from this side. Don't you think so, Madge?"
 Indeed, yes" I answered en- phatically. The sooner we're over the Hudson and back on the New York side the better I'll be pleased 7
 At this pace you ought to be pleased soon unless a cop inter- feres," Lillian said dryly. But step on it, More power to you.'
 And "step on it' I did. until We were going at rate of speed l ha ] never before dared within the limits of a town. Lillian watched the roads on either side with vigi- lance. while Mary, kneeling on the back seat, kept an equally keen eye out for policemen. Fortunately there was little traffic and the roads were not icy down here, an almost unbelievable contrast to the noun tain region we had left, and 1t was but a few minutes before We were iu the ferry line.
 Salute, Lady Luck.' Lillian saiI as first one car and then another shot Up the incline facing us. 4 boat is in. We'll make it." Their Luck Holds
 And make it we did. Moreover as we were almost the last or board we were able to make certain that neither the black roadster nor 1 the Eeritzen limousine had followed us on.
 If I were you I'd telephone al the nearest place which is out oi sight of the ferry house." Lillian 1 advised.
 Wont you telephone Harry yourself?" I asked.
 There was hint of panic in her swift answer.
 No. No I don't know all the details as you do. I'd have to have you standing my me, and that would leave There ought to be 1 two of us in the car" But I knew that the reason she gave, while valid enough, was not the real root of her reluctance. She l had no reason to dread talking te her husband-he had been thought fulness personified during her re- cent trying experience, but l kne' that the tragic shadow of Robert 1 Savarin was so near her that only the actual presence of her bluff but adoring husband could exercise 1t.

Peter Rabbit had gone over to the Old Pasture. IL was beautiful morning. Of course, Peter shoul1 have been at home in the dear Old Eriar-patch.

He saw Redtail the Hawk sailing high in the sky and right then and there he decided that he would remain in the Old Pasture, for that day at least.
 Peter was trying to decide just what 10 do next when he heard q humming sound. It seemed to be just over his head. Peter looked up. Hummer the Running swoop- ed down with such speed and 50 close to Peters head that Peter ducked. What arc you trying Q do?" he cried indignantly.

 Peters face frightened suddenly ard he gave 9 little hop in the ali. "Of course I know the Columbine." he cried. Tt is so long since 1 saw it last spring that for few min- utes I could not remember it. But I remember it now and ] remember just where to look for it."

Cheerful Colors and Real Designs

Welcome are the slide fasteners in the seams at the back of chair covers for quick and easy handling.
 Why is it that dining rooms arc SD often neglected when summer clothes are being made for the fur niture? This injustice is being remedied this year because, surely. there is no room in which cool ness and fresh cheerfulness is so appreciated; and it is comparatively simple to make slips for the backs and pads for the seats of the>chairs.
 The bedrooms are blooming in even more fascinating summer en- sembles. For instance, one fabric is being used both for chair covers and bedspreads. Side chairs are be- ing gayly dressed up in covers with sash ribbons attached at the seat level and tied behind in a piquanr bow. And the most summery touch is achieved with dressing table flounces in airy organdie, voile or net

Why Did Phil Veritzen Hire the De-
 tectivc to Trail Them? The Travellers Ponder Over Thus
 Question
 I looked where Lillian bade me and saw that she was right.
 The Eeritzen limousine was drawn up at the curb next to the black roadster. which had just pulled in behind it. And even as we gazei Otto descended from the limousine and held open the door for the en- trance of the detective. who hal hurriedly left h.s own car.
 "Can you get out of here without their seeing you?" Lillian asked.
 I looked back and saw that there was no other car between ours and the corner.
 T think so," I returned. "I'll ju.t back slowly until we come to the corner and then around into the cross street. Then we can go back the way we came.'
 "Good." Lillian approved. "I don't know what you think, but 10 my rind the Fort Lee ferry is the best bet. We can phone Harry from down there"
 They Again Escape Detection
 She said nothing more until l had swung the car around the cor ner and was well on my way up the hill again. Then she spoke reaS- suringly to Mary.
 Come on out. child" she sail cheerily. T think your game rf hide-and seek is over for the day.
 You don't think they saw us?' l threw over my shoulder as the rus tllng blankets told me that Mary vas emerging into the sunligh. again.
 "Positiye." Lillian was emphatic. T was watching all the time. Otto was standing at attention outside the car, but his face was turned away from us. And the other man did not look our way at all.'
 But what does it all mean?'' Mary's voice vas, shrill. T heard you talking just now. Is it true that that man in the black roadster drove in behind the Veritzen car and then got out and climbed in be- side Mir. Neritzen ?'
 "Yes, it is true, Mary" l said grimly, for I was beginning to see ''as through a glass darkly," and the vision was not a pleasant one.
 '"Then-then-' Mary also was patently groping through a fog. "Then that man knows Mir. Nerit. zen; he must have known where to fird him. They must have been-- Auntie Madge, MT. Veritzen must have been the enc who hired that man to trail us."
 Tt looks that way, Mary" l ad- mtited. for I could sec no use in lying to the child, though I hoped she, for little time at least, would not follow her train ol thought to its logical conclusion.
