HONEST REASON FOR AN HONE:
A Word To The Public

The following statement is a positive an
nouncement to our Faithful Public:
After twenty five years of honest endeavor
to please the public, I have decided to
"Change the Old to the New" During these
twenty five years as merchant, l am sure
we have established a reputation that's
worthy of the manifestation of appreciation
of the public.
During these years this store has NEVER
HAD A SALE OF THIS TYPE. BUT-NOw
it is our plan to remodel the store, which
means, shelves, counters etc., must all be torn
out, to- make way for the new set-up. Our
store will always be ''yOur store. However
we plan to consolidate our four floors into
two.
Thousands of dollars worth of our General
Stock MUST BE SOLD-TherefOre to do this
right-we have turned our entire stock to
the N. S. S., to be Closed Out. We have Sc
cured the services of ''Wally Wally" to do this
Big Job. He is now here under contract to
sell the entire stock. Thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise have been moved to
the main floor, where it will be QUICKLY
disposed of-during this RECORD BREAK
ING SALE.
THIS SALE is ABSOLUTELY ON THE
LEVEL, FOLKS, please believe me, and
am very proud to affix my signature to the
above statement.
Signed,

WORKS, paby. Make
'em look like saps!"
"Eef you want for me to win
theenk eet will be easy. Beel" She
looked up at him with her wide,
trusting eyes full of worship and
innocence, and Bill found a sudden
interest in objects that didn't re-
mind him of that look.
Proves Sensation.
Marie was a sensation. She won
the meet hands down and Bill COL
lected plenty of money and the
newspaper boys frothed at the
mouth because here was something
worth writing about. Every one
was very happy, and Cedric DaW-
son, who was promoting the big
gest meet in the East that season.
sought out Bill and made him a
proposition that caused Bills eyes
to gleam. Suddenly he realized
what a gold mine he had in little
Marie Lamont, and he bought
Cedric Dawson three drinks straight
to celebrate-and to forget Marie's
NANS, u tAolAllS CyCos
There's no telling how it all might
have ended. Fate took a hand, as
Fate is apt to do when things are
not in harmony with themselves.
Marie, feeling that she must have
breath of the fresh air to which
she was used or suffocate in the
little hotel bedroom where she
was supposed to be asleep, got up
and dressed and went out on the
wide moonlit veranda and stood
near the railing outside the cock
tail lounge. A waiter, who was also
given to fresh air, opened window
of the cocktail lounge for a few
moments-and Marie heard Bill
Saunders and Cedric Dawson con-
versing.
She heard, and something cold
and terrifying clutched at her
heart. And suddenly she began to
think Of the farm back of the ham
let of Rouergue, of kerosene lamps
and nickeled stoves and Father
Baptiste coming to visit and sleigh
bells and laughing children on their
way to school. Loneliness came. lover
her, a loneliness too great to bear
1t was showing when Bill Saun-
ders reached Rouergue. Against the
better judgment of the station
agent he strapped on his skis and
headed for the Lamont farm. Some
how he made it, but he collapsed
on the kitchen floor when he came
in. Presently he opened his eyes
and there was Marie, and peace
came to his soul. He talked slowly
at first, then more rapidly, explain
ing, pleading. Marie listened with
wide, astonished eyes, and both she
and Bill were glad her parents
couldn't understand English.
They didn't understand English
but they understood other things
like when Marie knelt down be-
side the couch and Bill took her
into his arms. Any one could un-
derstarI that.

his friends started on their skiing
expedition.
Marie, like every one else and
everything else in this land, was un-
like anything to which Bill had been
accustomed. She was natural and
simple and genuinely beautiful. She
was a member of the fifth genera
ton of Lannon'S, who had occupied
the farm where she now lived. Like
all her ancestors. Marie had prac-
tically been raised on skis. She was
AS natural on skis as most girls are
In high-heeled shoes.
This gave Bill Saunders ideas.
He talked his ideas over with Bee
and Peter Harris. who were married
and fortyish and the party's chap
erones. Bill had known them all his
life.
"All right. Bill" Peter Harris
grinned We'll help you out. But
are you sure you can get her to
do it?'
Bill grinned. "Ive always" he
said unboastfully. been able to get
most girls to do what want, haven't
1?' The couple knew this to be true.
Breaches Plan.
So Bill cultivated pretty Marie
Lamont, which wasn't hard because
she was very naive and trusting, and
Bill was very handsome. He met her
folks and made them like him. and
introduced them to the Harrises.
Then he broached the plan.
"Oh, Beel!" Marie cried when he
had finished, "eet weel be wonder
full Always have I wanted to 60 to
New York! An you weesh for me to
breeng my skis? But in New York
there ees no snow"
eff there isn't" Bill grinned,
they'll haul some in on freight cars.
Baby, you'll knock EN- dead
Bills plan was simple. Marie would
return to New York with them and
be a guest Of the Harrises. She
would bring her skis and under
Bills management be entered in all
the local ski meets. There'd be
1lOllllIlk W IL. ne dllQ lllc 11dl / lScS
would clean up.
Everything went smoothly. The
elder Lannon'S required little per-
suasion, but presently they gave in.
After all, they wanted their Marie
to be happy. Marie was eager and
excited and innocent. There was
only one thing wrong with the
entire arrangement. Marie got the
impression from Bills words and
manner Gas he intended she should)
that the only reason he wanted her
to come to New York was because
he was in love with her and wanted
her to be near him. The skiing was
q side issue.
/ So they all went to New York.
Marie was excited and happy and
sawed and a little frightened, just
as Bill wanted and hoped. He didn't
.let her ski publicly at first. He
wanted her to get used to things

Showing Held No Aid
To Thickeninq Hair

There Is no evidence that shaving
causes hair to grow more thickly or
changes in any way the texture of
the hair, the journal of the Amer
ican Medical Association says. The
only effect is that of moderate
stimulation of the scalp, which
benefits hair growth.
