and stimulating, but this must
be done with a formula that is
not too astringent nor too oily.
Until recently there was no
one tonic that could claim to
be all things to all scalps, but
now there is an excellent
one that is equally effective on
any scalp-providing you use
a little intelligence in dag
noSing your scalp condition
and following simple directions.
It's formula was developed
after ten years of study and
experiment, and I can say to
you, Fundamentally, 1 think it
an excellent and sensible
formula. This tonic comes to
you with a separate oil-tube
held in the neck of each bottle.
You make your own prescrip-
ton by pouring the amount of
oil your scalp requires into the
hair tonic. Slightly dry hair
uses one-quarter of the OIL,
moderately dry hair demands
one-half of the oil, very dry
hair requires all of The oil.
Oily scalps use the tonic with
out the oil.
Sensible, isn't it? And your
scalp and hair respond beau
tifully to the treatment. This
tonic is for men and women.

Others will not. For it isn't the
case altogether of YOU choosing
the dog. He selects his own

Breeds Differ
OF course, much depends upon
the breed of the dog itself,
without regard to the particular
nature of the animal.
For instance, German shep-
herds and elbows are of a dis
tant, very reserved nature and
are not DESTROYS of making new
acquaintance.
It may be expected that one
will experience more difficulty
in gaining the friendship of one
of these dogs than of some of

Eye Circles
Dear Miss Shelby:
How often should the hair

dark circles under the eyes?
Sincerely, c. G.
Dear Miss C. G.:
You may wash your hair
once every two weeks if you
will brush it we'll and massage
your scalp between shampoos.
After you wash your face
with warm water and very little
soap, massage in a little pure
olive oil. One or two drops
will be sufficient to lubricate
your dry skin.
Dark circles under your eyes
may result from eye strain,

SO much more experienced and intelli-
gent" 1t was good line to start out
with. 1t always made them beam just
as Old Potter was beaming now and
it got them feeling good.
And I like you immensely, Miss
Rawson-er-may call you Jean?"
"Oh, I'd be so disappointed if you
didn't" she purred.
The beam grew wider until his round
features fairly shone. II will if you'll
call me Frank"
I'D love it-Frank," she finished shyly
and dropped her long lashes over her
big brown eyes. Evidently it worked be-
cause he leaned over close and said:
You're beautiful, Jean. Your eyes are
gorgeous tonight and you have such nice
hair and such a pretty gown and such
nice"-his eyes travelled down over her
fgure-"everything."

to one corner of the room where
there was a small roulette wheel with
swarthy croupier behind it. There
was no one playing it. Having been
here before, she knew, of course, that
they would win the first few times so
she had the line all ready.
He bought handful of dollar chips
and gave her half of them. She became
as thrilled and excited as a child. "Oh,
is this really ronlette?" The croupier
gave her dark stare. She was afraid
he recognized her.
Very indulgently Old Potter showed her
how to bet and explained the odds to
her. He played / to IL with So. She
put chip on the green. The croupier
spun the wheel and turned up II on the
green. She hung on Old Potter's arm.

you do it,"

she could tell that he was pleased. To

plainly, Il think you're wonderful"
They played few times more and
then she suddenly developed famishing
hunger. He was still ahead of the wheel
and she knew he'd feel better all eve
ming if he had won little. The croupier
gave her very, very dark stare this time.
They all went into the dining room.
Bill had a table reserved at the edge
of the minute dance floor. He was the
perfect host tonight She liked the way
he sat, tall and straight at one end of

of dignity and levity, led the conversa-

her and nodded approvingly. That was
she was handling Old Potter. She knew
what he meant.
After a while they danced. Potter
was getting little fuddled. He danced
one-two- three, one-two-three, one-two-
three, with an intense gusto, the mean
while pumping his left arm up and down
with total disregard for the other Occu-
pants of the floor. When they came
back to the table he was putting and
his face was red. He mopped his brow
and the bald spot with white silk
handkerchief.
You dance divinely, my DEAR" he
painted from behind the handkerchief.
"Oh, no, Frank! Oh, no, it isn't L
anybody can follow a smooth leader"
And under the table she used her napkin
in an attempt to repair the damage to
her pumps.
She wished she were home in bed She
hadn't minded it at first; it had been
sort of a game. This sublimation of
her real self for the benefit of big buyers
had been a challenge at first-a chal-
lenge to her to make them like her and
make them have a good time. Now it
was nothing but the repetition of a well
memorized speech. She was sick of it.

the matter. 1t was part of her job and

Rawson," very impersonal and
businesslike. She stood beside his desk
with her shorthand pad and two pencils
in her hand without answering. He
looked up from letter he was reading.
"We'll have a couple of out-of-town
buyers here tonight Miss Rawson. I
hope you'll be free to spend the evening
with us"
He bent over the letter again.
She answered, Certainly, Mr.. Brandt"
She tried to make her tone as cold and
unenthusiaStic as his. 1t was an effort,
but she thought she did it all right.
You'd better leave little early. I'll
pick you up at your apartment at g.
He didn't look up again and she went
out into the little ante room that was
her office.
He was always like that. In the Office
1t was Miss Rawson and Mr.. Brandt.
Tonight he would call her Jean and she
would call him Bill and he would smile
and laugh and be entertaining and some
times he would even dance with her, but
all the time she would know that to
him she was still Miss Rawson and that
he couldn't tell you the color OF her
eyes or the kind of a dress she had on.
And tomorrow morning it would be Miss

and Mr.. Brandt-Biu now-wanted to
be sure that the important ones had a

The other man was tall and rather
thin and he had little black mustache.
He was about 35 and not bad at all. He
took Mildred's arm, and, of course, Bill
took Alyce De We're. Jean had never
seen him on one of these parties with
any one else. 1t was always Alyce no
matter what the other combinations
were and he treated her nicely and
looked into her eyes and smiled at her
and danced with her often while she, in
turn, was very flattering and attentive
and not at all aloof. There were times
when Jean would have greatly enjoyed
scratching her eyes out.

he asked in his nice voice.
They moved together easily, Bills

He said: "Yes-very," with great dig

They danced in silence until the
orchestra stopped. She tried again:

charming tonight" She didn't think SO
at all, she thought she looked like an
overdressed chorus girl.
He said, "Yes."
She felt sudden flame of anger. He
was so stiff and so proper and so serious
with her. But, darn it, she liked the
way his chin jutted out and the way
the corners of his eyes crinkled and she
liked his smooth, certain voice when he
was serious. So, in evaporation she
stamped her foot, and because thev
were dancing her heel landed in the
