Three weeks ago he was | @ Pullman porter on trains operating out of Seattle and Portland, but he heard the call of duty, and now he's at Camp Lewis. He is the only colored general in camp, and the negro soldiers are proud of him. At first they didn’t know he was here, but they found it out when a captain stepped in front of the casu alty company and called “General Ferguson” several times. “Ise heah, sah,” said General, in the smooth tones of a well-trained public servant. “Yas, sah; tha’s my fname—General Ferguson—only one I got, sah.” An End to the Curse of Wearing Worthless Trusses No More Rupture Troubles 60 Days’ Trial To Prove It | You Don’t Have to Risk A Penny | Flere ts something absolutely guaran- [teed to keep your rupture from coming este And you can try it 6¢ days—make = fhorough prove-it-to-you test-—without to risk @ panny. cannot be made to keep your from coming out or from bother- you tm any way—then it won't cost | ‘The Only Thing Good Enough To Stand Such A Test fom know aa well as we that you can’t anything about © truss or anything else for rupture merely by trying it on That's the worst of going to @ drug store or local truss fitter's truss oF so-called “appliance” may all right when you first put ft on, afterward prove utterly worthless e only way in the world you oan sore of exactly what you're getting ‘by & © days’ trial—a thorough day- day test, And our guaranteed rupture holder— famous Cluthe—ts the only thing of ‘Aany kind whatever for rupture that you Yean get on 60 days trial, the only thing enough to stand each « long and thorough teat.

Donna turned to me a face that was doubly indicative of tragedy and a desire to laugh. “You don't mean to tell me, Don fa,'that you have been foolish enough to try to color it,” I said. “Mercy, not she answered, “but I was foolish enough to submit to the ordeal of having it permanently waved, and this is the color the heat and the chemicals they used made it.” “But it ta bluet” “I know It perfectly well,” she an swered with a rueful laugh. “In their endeavor to nullify the yellow tinge that my white hair took on, they literally dyed it with a strong solution of ordinary laundry bluing which gave it this steel blue color, I am heartbroken, of course. “Why will women be such fools. Margie?” continued Donna. “It cont me $35 to have this atrocious thing perpetrated on me and I would willingly give $35 to have it removed. Alas and alack! I've got to look like this until the blue and the yellow wear off.” Donna's white hajr had been one of her greatest charms, and conse quently her greatest pride. “But you see,” she explained, “I spent about four hours a week at the hair dresser's having it curled, so I con cluded to have it fixed up once and for all. I'l tell you, Mar; I'll be mighty glad for the sake of my sex for I won't be here see it when the time comes that women will not be judged first, last and all the time by their looks. “You may have the mind of Mi nerva and the soll of an angel, but if you haven't the Jooke of a Venus, all else will avail you nothing in this valo of tears. What matters it if a woman gains her greatest ambition, he lones her food looks “You are right, Donna,” I said. “It is an awful commentary on human ity when we women must still gain what we want from the world of men on mere physical qualifications. I know a woman going abroad on a most important mission, Jone which would require courage, a trained mind, a sympathetic sense of dramatic values, enthusiasm, di plomacy and a knowledge of the | technique of her trade to succeed to any extent “A friend of hers was speaking to |@ man who might help her much, She dilated on the woman's fitness for the mission, and asked him to look out for her and help her all he could. All he asked was, ‘Is she good looking?’ And when he was told that she was, he said earnestly, ‘Me for her.” “Do you know, Margie, I am al most beginning to think that women will never’ do any very « things |in the world until we do away with | that silly idea that above all }else a woman must be beautiful.” “But, interrupted, “don’t you think that all women as well as all men should look as well as they can “ot should look clean, well groom healthy, and every human being should wear, if possible, clothes that are suitable to hia station a in life, But I do not believe any human being should try his beau the pleasure of the eye of the commun- ity in which he lives.” “Hear—hear the pretty widow with the ruined white hair,” I ex- claimed, and we both laughed.

He tells me he cares for me, but I cannot think he does if he is engaged to this other irl, How can I find out? acc. | You might take his word for it, since he would have no ob Ject in telling you he was en gaged if helisn't. Have you a sense of honor? If you have, you should call it to your res sue immediately. A girl whose brain is working clearly would never permit an engaged man to tell her he cared for her, and & man who is on the square would not do it. If he discov ered that he had made a mis take, he would rectify it by breaking his engagement. You should have no curiosity about his feelings for you. Simply tell him as long as he is engaged to the other girl he must cease his attentions to you. he Young Man Should Vary Entertainment Dear Miss ¢ I have been ¢ number of months. time he ha big show, But in all that never taken me but only to a |show in our neighborhood. after the show box of candy or such as all my friends receive.
