Many of them have found me attractive, and 1 have had numerous opportunities to marry.

The fact that you haven't been afflicted by sporadic cases of sentiment up to that time is no sign that you won't have a fatal attack of heart trouble love is like certain juvenile complaints—the later in life we catch them, the later on.

Strange, how you all strive to be smart and yet pay so little attention to one of the essentials of smartness— a well groomed appearance. That rather untidy head of hair, those carelessly manicured hands, the rumpled collar and cuff set on your black serge dress—do you realize how much they take away from your at- tractiveness? “But, Mimi,” says K., in reply to uch criticism, “do you really think hose little things are worth while? They do go to make up a smart en- semble, but, honestly, how many men notice all thos e Men don't know when hair rfectly done. If it's just a little mussed they probably think its overcurly.

If she ran Reddy would see her and Spooky would see her; at least that is what she thought. Of course she could climb that tree and so get out of Reddy's way. But she didn't dare limb the tree, for she thought Spooky was in the top of it, and she would ly be climbing right up to furnish him that dinner ~he wanted. Do you wonder that Nanny Meadow Mouse was in despair? You know despair means to be without hope. Nanny couldn’t see that there was any hope at all. She was sure that Reddy would find her. It was only a questior of whether she would rather be a bite for Reddy Fox or a dinner for little | Spooky the Screech Owl. Of cour: she didn't want to be either. With eves popping out of her head, or at least looking as if they would pop out of her head, Nanny watched Reddy come until he was only a short distunce from her. Then he sat down with his back to her. HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON.

For children follow their parents in Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do b; all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if It doesn’t do much good to try to comb or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it ; then you destroy it en- tirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and two or three more applications will com- pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
