SHE DARKENED
HER GRAY HAIR
Tells How She Did It With a
Home-Made Remedy.
Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well-known res
ident of Buchanan County, la., who
darkened her gray hair, made the fol
lowing statement:
“Any lady or gentleman can darken
their gray or faded hair, and make it
•oft and glossy with this simple rem
edy, which they can mix at home.
To half a pint of water add 1 ounce
of bay rum, one small box of Barbo
Compound and 1-4 ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any drug store at very little cost.
/ Apply to the hair every other day
until the gray hair is darkened suf
ficiently. It does not color the scalp,
is not greasy and does not rub off. It
will make a gray-haired person
look twenty years younger.”—(Advt.)

Here Are Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
as Home.
To Hold negligee
Blue georgette over rose taffeta or
two other shades combined, can be
used for a lovely and useful bag. It
is made like an ordinary bag except
that it opens at the bottom as well
as at the top. It may be trimmed
with narrow ribbon and tiny silk
flowers. It is especially designed to
hold dainty negligees which can be
slipped out of the bag without be
coming wrinkled.
Oblong Pillow
One more pillow is always a wel
come gift, particularly if it is an
oblong one, for a change. An at
tractive combination for . this kind
of pillow is georgette and taffeta.
The cushion itself may be of blue
georgette over white taffeta, with a
band of silver lace around the center.
The last touch is a spray of woolen
flosvers over lace and georgette.

MARY MEREDITHS ADVICE |
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME |
Will you please help a girl who is
in trouble. I have written you twice
before, but neither one was printed.
I am a girl of eighteen, in love with
a young man twenty-one years old.
I belong to a prominent family and
he does not. No one thinks he is
my equal, still I love him, I have
tried every way in the world to for
get about him, but cannot. My folks
do not want me to marry him on ac
count of his family, although they
know he is a good boy. He has asked
me to marry him but I have not
given him any answer yet. What
must I do? Must I tell him no and
marry someone I do not love, or take
him? I will certainly appreciate
your advice. Please sign my initials
at the bottom of my letter.
H. R. M.
•Os course it is the most nat
ural thing in the world for
parents to want their children to
marry their equal in intellect,
and blood. But on the other
hand a fine man has sprung
from ordinary parentage—many
leading women of the country
today can trace their ancestry
back to peasantry or so-called
laboring class. My advice is:
Marry the man who has brains
enough to want to get along,
to do right. One who has the
strength and manhood in him
to be honorable and clean in the
face of trials and temptations.
Whether his mother is a princess
or a peasant, an opera singer or
street singer. We can make our
selves what we choose. A wom
an can lift a man up, or she can
drag him down. Do tvhat your
conscience dictates.

The Only Thing That Counts
A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia
By the Famous Novelet
Carolyn Beecher
(Copyright, 1920.)
CHAPTER XVI
ADELE and Arens had smiled
politely at each other when
they met, nothing in the de
meanor of either giving a
hint they had met before. There
was distinct novelty in the meeting
for Adele, an unusual sensation,
therefore welcome.
They walked to the Lafayette,
paired off, Helen and Lansing, Adele
and Arens.
It was exactly a year since Adele
had seen Arens —at the time when,
interested in another, she took no
stock of him. But she now saw a
well-set-up young man, taller than
the average, clear-eyed and tanned,
a wholesome looking man of the out
door type.
David Arens was thirty-five years
old. But the years had been kind
to him and seeing him with Adele
one would have said he was twenty
eight, possibly thirty. At thirty
five a bachelor has reveries which
concern the future. And when Da
vid Arens met Helen Westfield he
had been rather definitely hoping he
would find his romance. Os a sud
den he had touched upon the mar
gin of it, he felt. She fulfilled his
idea of womanhood; the sort he
would like for a wife; the mother
of his children.
Yet it had always been said pf
Arens that he would never marry
because he could fascinate any wom
an he cared to. It might have been
a slander, yet because he had been
popular with women, and because he
never had married, many believed it.
At first sight Helen hadn’t espe
cially appealed to him, but after he
had talked to her she appealed to
him a great deal more. Even if the
glamor of adolescent youth was ab
sent, he was obsessed with the idea
that he had at last unearthed some
one, a woman, who would make a
perfect companion for him.
He had no sense of disloyalty to
his host, Kirk Lansing, in this idea,
because he had no notion that Lan
sing was at all interested save in a
friendly way with either of the
girls.
Among men David Arens was a
man’s man. His manner was clip
ped, brisk, highly impersonal. Helen
thought him blase and went to no
pains to interest him. “If I do, ’
she thought, “it will only flatter
him the more and his ego is suffi
cient as it is. Besides, it might
amuse him.” And Helen had no in
tention to amuse a man as blase as
he seemed to be. Let him amuse her
Lansing ordered the dinner. A
man’s dinner, but just the sort to
suit his two women guests.
"I didn’t realize how tired I svas,”
Helen said in an aside to Lansing.
“Hungry, too. When I am writing I
never look at a clock. I had forgot
ten, but I ate no luncheon today.'*
Arens overheard and said:
“You shouldn’t do that. You will
lose your health and incidenally
your good looks if you do.”
“As if that mattered.”
“It does matter —to your friends,
especially your health.” The look
with which he accompanied the words
was intended to convey to Helen his
personal interest in her well-being.
But she only smiled and turned to
the others. She had no wish that
this man make love to her.
It was barely 9 o’clock when they
finished their dinner. Adele naively
proposed a ’bus ride. Lansing fa
vored a roof garden. They left it to
Helen She sided with Adele.
Adele had seen the interest Helen
had excited in David Arens She
and wondered. It was evident they
never had met before, that neithet
knew anything of the other. She
had as yet had no opportunity to
speak to Arens alone —to explain her
message. Once or twice she had
caught his eyes fastened upon her,
a question in their depths. But most
of his attention had been devoted to
Helen—enough to make Lansing
peevish.
On the ’bus, however, Lansing sat
down with Helen, forcing Arens and
Adele to occupy the same seat.
“Why haven’t we met before?" he
asked in a low voice.
“Because I wish it so. And I am
going to ask another favor. Please
don’t mention your friend’s name
while you are with us—K. D. 1
have a very special reason, one I
can’t explain just now.”
“All right. You had quite an af
fair with him, didn’t you?”
“Perhaps—and just perhaps that
is the reason I don’t care to have
him mentioned.”
“I’ll not forget. You’re a good lit
tle sport and I never give a girl
away.”
Adele blushed hotly under the im
plication, but bit her lip and kepi
silent. What did it matter whai
David Arens thought of her. Helen’i
happiness did matter. And somehow
she had decided that this man, a
friend of the man whose photograph
had so disturbed Helen, might be a
menace to that happiness.
1 CWTEB XVII
DA.VID ARENS remained in
New York three weeks. He
was with the two girls al
most every day on some pre
text or other. If he could not see
Helen in the evening he would plan
something for the late afternoon,
even the morning. They usually
make a party of sou foursome,”
Adele always called it—either Kel
logg, Lansing, or some young
friend of Adele’s making up the
party.
Before he left Arens asked Helen
to marry him. She was amazed, al
though Adele had seen it coming
and had teased her about her con
quest.
“I shall never least, I
haven’t seen the man 1 would give
up my freedom for," Helen had re
plied to his proposal, couched in
•erms of passionate love.
He had pleaded, but finally Helen
, had said so plainly that she did not
1 care for him that perforce he had to
■ accept her refusel as final. But he
! carried away with him a hurt that
i kept him silent about knowing her;
that caused him to bury her name
in his heart along with that hurt.
Had Adele known this she would
not have worn so anxious an ex
pression when she thought of the
photograph that had so disturbed
Helen, and Arens’ acquaintance with
the original.
After Arens left, Helen and Adele
were a bit more leisurely in their
good times. Yet they often went
out to dinner with Lansing or Kel
logg, sometimes accompanied by a
fourth.
Helen seldom went out alone
with either of the men. Adele often
said she felt de trop. But Helen
only laughed and declared she would
not go without her.
They were dining at the Brevoort.
Their intention had been to go to
one of the uptown hotels, but just
as they started out a storm broke
and they chose the place nearer
home.
“It was fate!” Helen said when
in the future that night came be
fore her.
Lansing, Adele, and Helen were
dining that night. Helen was feel
ing unusually gay and Adele, sens
ing her mood, was even more so.
At a table near them sat two men
One, an artistic-looking fellow with
deep-sunk eyes and a brown point
ed beard, attracted Helen’s atten
tion. His sombre face had an ap
pealing quality.
“He, too, has been disappointed in
life,” Helen said to herself. An
awakened interest, sympathy, shone
out of her soft gray eyes as she
looked. His eyes were too large, his
mouth too bitter for one so young.
Helen judged him to be about thirty-
one or two. In reality Clifford
Sloane was but twenty-eight. His
youth had not withstood the corro
sive agencies of life; his habits had
left an indelible mark.
Helen dragged her eyes away in
order not to be caught staring at the
man who had excited her interest,
her compassion. Then, to her sur
prise, Adele saw him and bowed.
The man acknowledged her greet
ing, half rising in his chair, then sat
down again suddenly as if regret
ting the impulse, his face, hi- at
titude, more moody than before.
“Who is that man you bowed to?”
Helen asked Adele, under cover of
Lansing’s conversation with the
waiter.
“Clifford Sloane. He used to be
rather nice, but lately—she shrugged
her shoulders —“lately he’s gone the
pace, they say, and also lost most
of his money. Used to be a writer,
newspaper man, or something.”
The dinner was served, but
Helen’s gay mood had unaccountably
left her. Now, when she raised her
eyes, she found Sloan’s gaze bent
upon her. His troubled eyes never
smiled when his lips parted as he
talked with his companion. He
looked like a man who had tasted of
life’s dregs and found them very
bitter indeed.
Determinedly Helen tried to list
en to Lansing and Adele. She suc
ceeded so well that she started when
she heard a deep, musical voice
say:
“Good evening, Miss Foster."
Sloane paused momentarily as if to
say something more, and then
passed out of the restaurant.
“W’hat an interesting looking
man,” Helen found herself saying.
“He is interesting, wickedly so.”
Adele replied. “I met him a long
time ago at a dinner party. I am
surprised that he remembered me.”
Nothing more was said of Sloane.
But after she had said good night
to both Lansing and Adele, Helen
owned to herself that she was enor
mously interested in this very
weary, blase looking man whose
sombre eyes had seemed to pierce
her very soul. Some terrible sor
row—perhaps something like her
own—had touched his life, had uurn
ed him. For gloom rode him, drag
ged down his broad shoulders, dull
ed his eyes. He was the very pic
ture, of a man who had nothing left
to live for, had not the faintest
interest in life.
“What a goose 1 am to build a
story about him just because he
looks unhappy. He’s probably
squeezed all the good out of life and
is simply bored,” she muttered to
herself, but in her dreams men with
sombre eyes passed back and forth,
always an invitation to her.

row Truman. I wanted to name him
Felton. It is such a treacherous and
deadly disease, that I desire you
shall warn the mothers, through The
Journal, to be on the lookout for
and to inform themselves about it.
I did not know—l knew nothing
about it until it was too late. My
darling told me all the week that he
was tired, but did not complain in
any other way.
He seemed to have only a cold. He
had a dry, rasping cough. I doc
tored him faithfully for that. Al
though he grew worse, it was only
Thursday night that he was sick
enough to cause alarm, and he died
Saturday morning.
If you are familiar with this dread
disease, teli your Journal readers all
about it, but if you are not familiar
with it, get information from a doc
tor or a bulletin, which anyone can
get by writing to the state board of
health. Tell them something of the
disease and urge them to send one of
their free bulletins and read all
about it;
Sincerely your friend,
MRS. J. G. V.
What About the Coal Situation?
A kind providence has favored us,
for this is now December 6, and we
have not had any very severe weath
er to date.
But the time has come to have
cold weather and it is lake grass in
spring when the season of the year
comes to have either grass or cold
weather, set it down in your ledger
that both will be here on time. I
bought some coal at sls a ton a
few days ago. It is good coal, but
it burns up very briskly. It means
to do its duty and that is to burn
up. So the winter will set in in
short order, and may the dear Lora
have pity on the people who must
have a fire, and nothing but ?la a
ton to be had. . _
Cold can produce any amount of
suffering without heat to warm, and
nourishing food to supply the needs
of the inner man.
Don’t misunderstand the situation.
Coal at sls per ton means exquisite
suffering for those that are old a;‘d
those who are .in poor health, we
should face the problem that is here
upon us. . „ .
How th® Cotton Slump Work®
Dear Mrs. Felton: I have been
reading your letters in The Journal
for twenty years. I here wish to
express my thanks to you for your
good letters, ’also my great esteem
for you, as one of our best writers
and our noblest spirits in this age.
Sometime ago you wrote about
the slump in the price of cotton.
My memory is not very good and
I have failed to find the article. I
was impressed by what you wrote
on the slump in cotton and how it
would affect the farmers
I am now going to relate a cir
cumstance which occurred in this
community: /
I called on a family yesterday
who had made a trade with the
landlord—buying a mule from him
on a credit, and promising to pay
two bales of otton of cotton rent.
He made thre bales and more than
half of another bale. It took two
bales to pay the landloard —another
bale went for guano.
He had bought his rations from
a merchant and feed for his mule
from another, without /the landlord
going his security.
He made only a small corn crop
and the family is in sore need of
clothes. They have next to noth
ing but three children. There are
numbers of such cases all over this
country.
On Sunday last there was a fu
neral at our church, and it was
quite cold to go out barefooted —but
there were little children there
barefooted —because the people were
not able to buy shoes.
Yet we are urged to buy shoes
and clothes, and we are asked to feed
and clothe the children of other
countries, when our own race are
thus bare of clothes and good food
to eat. There are plenty around
us that fail to go to church because
they are ill-clad and destitute.
The situation is getting alarming.
I see some of the leaders are brag
ging that this country is prosper
ous. It is not true in my section.
Such a calamity like this has not
come to the south in a long time. I
felt like I must write and tell you
how much good your letters have
done me, and here’s hoping you
may live many years yet, so you
can continue to write for’ us, your
inspiring letters.

Being a Movie Actor
Is Awfully Hard ork,
Declares 0. B. Keeler
BY O. B. KEELER
Being a movie actor must be hard
work. They all say it is, to inter
viewers. And they do have to stay
up late. And some day the S. P. C.
movie actresses will do something
about making a 90-pound movie ac
tress carry around a mink coat that
would tax the resources of Jack
Dempsey, both at the shop and after
he was inside it.
Not to mention dancing and shak
ing hands and listening to people
saying isn’t she too perfectly sweet
and so on.
Being a movie actor must be hard
work, sure enough. I do not know
much about movie actors of either
sex. The first one I ever talked to
was Warren Kerrigan, for* whom I
have a kindly remembrance dating
back before the historic Volstead
act. He was working hard, too. He
wore a leather coat and made
speeches.
At the auditorium Wednesday
night there were about 5,000 movie
fans and fannettes and a Scotch
band and Eugene O’Brien, who also
seemed to me to have a trace of
Irish or Scotch in his English ac
cent, and the bevy of screen queens,
headed by Miss Martha Mansfield
and Miss Louise DuPre and Miss
Muriel Ostriche and Miss Willie
Mae Carson and Miss Helen Gardner
—I believe that is all there were; if
there were any more I would also
say they were heading the delegation.
Gorgeous Coat
There also was a government man
there, a Mr. Orrin C. Lester, who
made an impassioned oration on
“Savings” just before Miss Ostriche
and Miss DuPre were presented to
the assembled populace, the latter
wearing a Lucille frock, and the for
mer a mink coat that gauged by Mrs.
Lucille’s reported rates and the com
parative dimensions must have cost
upwards of $20,000.
Mr. YVylie West made the intro
ductions in his very best style, and
back-stage, while Mr. Lester’s elo
quence was in progress, I discovered
William McKenzie, who had out
dressed Mr. O’Brien by a narrow but
perceptible margin; and Jake Wells,
who informed us that he had retired
from the stage business and was
now a country innkeeper. To prove it
he showed us pictures of the inn, a
most alluring place, at which Mr.
Wells said that indigent actors and
newspaper men always would be
welcome as long as they had plenty
of money.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lester had finished
his thrift speech and a delegation
had arrived from Druid Hills, includ
ing Mr. O'Brien, Miss Mansfield and
a lot of exhibitors and exchanges,
and the program proceeded with
speeches. Mr. O’Brien was in a gen
ial frame of mind. He expanded gen
erously and appeared disposed to hop
about and sing in the sunshine. He
interrupted his speech to drag forth
Miss Anna Eugene Aiken, editor of
the Weekly Film Review, for whose
middle name he had a manifest pre
dilection, and Miss Mansfield; and
having anchored himself firmly be
tween the blushing damsels he ex
plained plaintively that Fuzzy YY’ood
ruff had deserted him basely and
that he required moral support.
Stars Good Speakers
All the screen stars were speakers
of merit in at least one particular—
their speeches were short. They
also managed to say something while
they were speaking, which is not per
fectly usual in such matters.
Then they got the mob back and
had the grand march, which at times
resembled a snake dance, owing to
the happy eccentricities of the lead
ers, who had plenty of room to in
dulge certain vagaries of idea in re
gard to the pattern on which a grand
march should be marched. And then
they had dancing, after the gentle
manly announcer had announced
through a megaphone that tagging
would not be permitted, conveying
to certain old-fashioned persons a
hazy impression that there was not
going to be any of this I-tagged-you
now-you-tag-me business. There
wasn’t, but there was a prodigious
scramble to dance with the pret
tiest, if not to kiss the one you
loved the best; and they all were
easy enough to look at.
I must here interpolate a feeble
note of appreciation for the under
students. They were there in pla
toons. both homme and femme. They
had their hair polished like that of
Wallace Reid, or marcelled as nearly
as possible like Mr O’Brien's, and
among the opnosing sex they wore
clothes just as nearly exactly like
what Miss Ostriche and Miss Gardner
and Miss DuPre were expected to be
•’oing to wear as human ingenuity
.'nd forethought could devise.
And all evening, homme and fem
■id, they moved about with their
bins in the air and were mistaken
or movie stars by Mr. and Mrs. H.

LEARN TO PLAY BY NOTE
For Beginners or
Advanced Pupils
Fiano, Harmony and
Organ, Composition,
bLS?,’ Siß-ht Spring,
Tenor Banjo, Guitar,
Mandolin, Ukelele,
Clarinet, Hawaiian Steel
Flute, Guitar,
Saxophone, Harp,
Cello, Cornet,
Drums and Piccolo,
Traps, Trombone.
Or those long ana
lonesome evenings at
home, when minutes
seem like hours—how
quickly the time would
pass If you could
spend it at the piano
or organ—or in mak
ing a violin ‘‘talk,’’
>r in enjoying some
other instrument.
And now—at last —
this pleasure and sat
isfaction that you
have so often wished
for can easily be
added to your dally
life.
No need to join a
class or pin
down to certain hour
for lessons or prac-
tice. No need to pay a dollar or more per
lesson to a private teacher. Neither the
question of time nor expense is any longer
a bar—every one of the obstacles that have
been confining your enjoyment to mere lis
tening have now been removed.
My method of teaching music—in your
spare time nt homo with no strangers around
to embarrass you—makes it amazingly easy
to learn to sing by note or to play anv
instrument.
Y’on don’t need to know the first thing
about music to begin—don’t need to know
cne note from another. My method takes
out all the hard part—overcomes all the
difficulties—makes your progress easy,
rapid and sure
Whether for an advanced pupil or a be
ginner, my method is a revolutionary im
provement over the old methods used by
private teachers. The lessons I send you
explain every point and show every step in
simple Print-and-Picture form that you
can’t go wrong on—every step is made aa
clear as A B C. i£v metlmd makes each
made comments of delirious pleas
antness to understudent ears.
Scene Shot
sVhile the dancing was in progress
about an acre of spectators found
their way back to the studio, back of
the stage, presided over by Carl
Rountree, where a couple of scenes
were “shot”—with blanks, I fan
cy—to show the populace how it was
done. It was particularly interest
ing to see an actor, supposed to be
half of a rather exuberant sofa-scene,
continue talking away to himself aft
er the rest of the sketch departed,
probably to dance. Miss Mansfield
and Mr. Ginsberg gave the scene,
after Miss Ostriche had behaved as
much as possible unlike her ornitho
logical namesake—and why should
she hide such a darling little head,
anyway, as one rapt school-girl sug
gested.
Then Miss Marion Ivie Harris danc
ed—Atlanta girl, student at Woodber
ry, pupil of Mrs. Spiker—and gave a
remarkable exhibition considering
that the phonograph was in competi
tion part of the time with the Scotch
gangsome in the offing and part of
the time with the Hanson Male Sex
tet of saxophones, and so forth.
Other solo features of the program
were Miss Bonnie Connors, Hieland
dancer; Jimmie Howard, xylophone
expert; Bobbie Brollier, tenor, and
Catherine Murdoch, soprano.
I regret to inform a palpitant pub
lic that Lillian Gish has not shown
up yet, nor has Constance Talmadge,
but either may appear at any moment,
the management asserts, and the lat
ter is no farther away than Miami,
anyway.
Mr. O’Brien and Miss Mansfield
and their party will be leaving at
midnight Thursday, so Thursday eve
ning will be the last chance to see
them.
Atlantians Get Chance
Miss DuPre says she is going to
select an Atlanta boy and girl to
take part in her new production,
“The Lamp-Lighter,” basing her
choice on the imitation contests held
at the auditorium. The lucky pair
will get a trip to Florida and New
York, and a crack at a future on
the screen.
Thursday is South Carolina day at
the exposition, and the afternoon pro
gram will have three dancing pupils
of Mrs. Spiker and three of Senia
Solomonoff in evidence.
The Thursday program follows:
1:30 P. M.—Doors open.
2:30 P. M. —Star impersonation
contest for children.
3:30 P. M. —Band concert by Royal
Scotch Highlanders.
4:40 P. M. —Introduction of stars
by Wylie West.
7:00 P. M. —Doors open.
8:00 P. M.—Band concert by Royal
Scotch Highlanders.
9:40 P. M.—lntroduction of stars
by Julian Boehm.
10:00 P. M.—Grand march led by
leading star. Dancing until mid
night.
For the Young Miss
Hand-painted negligee or evening
gown hangers can be purchased and
make an attractive present to the
young girl. One of these hangers
is a dark-haired girl with bows on
her arms which hold two extra
plain enameled hangers.
An Unusual Gift
An unusually attractive gift is a
set of boudoir candlesticks of blue
iris and rose heavy glass. Candles
can be obtained to match these. Bud
vases to hold a single flower can also
be purchased of the colored glass
and would make inexpensive dressing
table accessories.
Boudoir Slippers
Boudoir slippers are very simple
to make. Soles can be purchased in
any shoe store. These are covered
with dainty colored ribbon. Shirred
ribbon or silk covers the span of
the foot. The slippers are trimmed
with tiny silk flowers or ribbon bows.
